Best MCA college according to me.

Placements: In 2023, MCA is discontinued, but it started again in 2024. In MCA '23, there is 100 percent placement. The highest package is 23 LPA at Amdocs, the median package is 6.2 LPA, and the lowest package is 4 LPA (this information I got from my seniors and faculty). Amdocs, SAP, Microsoft, Cisco, Deloitte, and many more companies are involved. Internships on campus are offered to 20–25 students out of 133 students. The top roles provided by recruiters are SDE and SWE.

Infrastructure: Wi-Fi connection is fully provided within the campus and hostel. For electricity, there is 24/7 service. The library is old, and the seating area is limited. The canteen and mess are in average condition. Medical facilities are provided, but most of the time, the dispensary doctor is on leave. Sports activities are good according to others, and for different sports, there are separate courts. Our college area is small, but the availability of facilities for sports is adequate. The quality of food in the hostel is not very good; according to me, it is average.

Faculty: The faculty is among the best. NIT Patna is always known for its experienced and renowned faculty, especially in the CSE department, where the top 2 percent of scientists taught us. The best part of our college is that they provide us with practical classes more than theory classes, which makes us more practically engaged. Semester exams are conducted at a slightly tough level, but we pass by studying two hours daily.

Decent facilities and supportive academic environment at NIT Patna.

Placements: As a current student pursuing my MCA in data science at NIT Patna, this is the first time when NIT Patna has introduced MCA for 3 years, and last it was for 2 years with an average package range from 6-8 LPA, with the highest of 30 LPA, and 100% of students got placed.

Infrastructure: Lab facilities are well-equipped with modern equipment and tools, which makes practical learning highly efficient. Hostel rooms are spacious and well-maintained, but they put 4 students in a room of 3 students. However, the Wi-Fi facility is quite good. Classrooms are equipped with modern teaching aids like projectors and sound systems.

Faculty: The semester exams are of moderate difficulty, striking a balance between theoretical knowledge and practical applications. The exams are fair, and with constant study, most students find them manageable. The teaching quality is decent. Most professors are knowledgeable and approachable.

Other: According to my NIMCET rank, I was getting this college but this college provides a good platform for academics and extracurricular activity.

Great opportunity. Grab it otherwise you will regret.

Placements: 60 percent placement is there on record in the MCA department this year. Average placement, I can say. Paid internship opportunities are also there. This year I have heard that someone from our senior batch succeeded in securing a 45 LPA internship. Almost every student got placed somewhere after completing the course, so ROI is good.

Infrastructure: Hostels are good enough. It is a multi-storey building. Elevators are there for convenience. Classrooms are facilitated with centralized AC. The library is there, you can borrow any book related to your course or some books other than the curriculum for 14 days. Computer labs are there for practical experiments of coding concepts.

Faculty: Highly qualified faculty members are there. Some of them are in the world’s top 2 percent researchers. You will get a great opportunity to gain deeper knowledge of your course from these faculty members for sure. The course is industry-relevant, obviously, that’s why companies are visiting for recruitment.

Other: The campus is connected with every means of transport. You can easily reach there via taxi, public transport like buses, metro, etc. The new beta campus is in the neighborhood of IIT Patna.

Faculties are too good, and all facilities are available inside a small campus.

Placements: In 2023, MCA was discontinued, but it started again in 2024. In MCA '23, there was 100 percent placement. The highest package was 23 LPA at Amdocs, the median package was 6.2 LPA, and the lowest package was 4 LPA (this information I got from my seniors and faculty).

The top roles provided by recruiters were SDE and SWE.

Infrastructure: Wifi connection is fully provided within the campus and hostel. For electricity, there is 24/7 service, and there is another transformer for NIT. However, the library is old, and the seating area is limited. The canteen and mess are in average condition, and not many food items are served. Medical facilities are provided, but most of the time, the dispensary doctor is on leave. Sports activities are good according to others, and for different sports, there are separate courts. Our college area is small, but the availability of facilities for sports is adequate. The quality of food in the hostel is not very good; according to me, it is average.

Semester exams are conducted at a slightly tough level, but we pass by studying two hours daily.

Other: MCA (AI & IoT) is a specialized and job-oriented course. The demand for MCA is now increasing day by day. I think NITP is serving us well enough. NITP is situated by the Ganga River, which makes it more beautiful.

College is absolutely good for study.

Placements: Almost 70% of students got placed, and the rest go for higher studies or civil services. The highest package offered by Google is 60 Lacs per annum, and the lowest is 6 Lacs per annum by L&T. Top companies include Google, Texas, Amazon (intern), Accenture, etc.

Infrastructure: All facilities are available here for students as well as professors. There is no doubt regarding the facilities, but at some points, medical facilities are not available on campus, and the ambulance service is not well-maintained. For this, I would give 2 stars for medical facilities. The campus is also very small.

Faculty: All professors are well-qualified and knowledgeable, making it a great place for study. I am pursuing my master's, and the faculty is really good and supportive. All professors give their best and try to provide the best they can, focusing on technical skills and real-life problem solving.

Other: This course is good at NITP. They are providing two streams for MCA—one in Data Science and Informatics, and another in AI & ML.
