Faculty: All teachers are helpful, qualified, and very student-friendly and always ready to help but not all professors. Teaching quality is good. They are strict to the curriculum. Curriculum is relevant and makes students industry-ready. Semester exams are not difficult if someone has studied they can easily pass.

I am satisfied with my college’s placements.

Faculty: Faculty members are very good and supportive. The course curriculum is well-structured and relevant. Semester exams are comparatively a bit tough but are well-designed. The pass percentage varies from 60 to 70 percent. The institute follows a relative grading system, where marks are compared with the highest scores, and grades are assigned accordingly. End-of-semester exams hold more importance.

One of the best engineering institutes in Bihar.

Faculty: Teachers are well-qualified, with many holding degrees and achievements from top IITs. They cover the syllabus effectively, though some are strict. The curriculum remains the same as the previous batch. End-of-semester examinations are more important than mid-semester examinations.

Placements are good, if you are good and don’t mind a small campus, you can join this college.

Faculty: Teachers are quite good and professional in their work and are highly qualified. Most teachers have done their Ph.D. from IITs. Teaching quality is good. The curriculum is relevant, but not very industry-oriented, so you have to work on your own to reach that level. Semester exams are easy, and you can easily score high marks by studying a few hours daily. The pass percentage is 30 percent, however, grading is relative, so it is highly dependent on the performance of other students as well.

NIT Patna College review.

Faculty: Teachers in the department are invaluable to students. However, teachers from other departments, like the Physics department, do not seem well-qualified. Students have to prepare on their own. The course curriculum is very relevant and focuses mainly on subjects that help with placements. Each semester has two mid-term exams and one end-of-semester exam.

One of the reputed institutes of Bihar.

Faculty: Teaching quality is average. Some professors are knowledgeable and know how to teach, while others have knowledge but cannot really teach. Semester exams (mid-semester and end-semester) are not hard if studied wisely. Marking system is based on relative grading.

My review of NIT Patna (Integrated M.Tech ECE).

Faculty: Faculty of NIT Patna was ranked among the top 2% of scientists globally in the year 2025. The curriculum is relevant to the fundamentals of electronics, communication, and systems. But students may need to refer to some online sources for additional help. Semester exams lie between moderate and hard.
