NIT Patna is a very good college.

Faculty: Professors are well-qualified, helpful, and knowledgeable. All of them are PhD holders. Courses are relevant to industry needs. Besides, one has to prepare themselves too.

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.

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.

Faculty: The college curriculum is good. Professors are very knowledgeable and highly educated. They are very helpful in implementing our ideas in any type of project. The difficulty of exams varies with year and faculty. Grades follow relative grading, and if we want good grades, we have to be at the top of our class.

Faculty: The professors of our college are really helpful. They are highly qualified. Many of the professors have completed their education from IITs and other reputed institutions, and their teaching quality is the best. We know each professor has different experiences of teaching in various domains and their teaching styles are also different, but the way they interact with the students is really helpful for us and the course is truly relevant.
