This is one of the best choices for M.Tech.

Faculty: Our faculty members were highly qualified and capable of teaching M.Tech students. Every faculty member had a doctorate. Some of them were kind, funny, and friendly, while some teachers were bad, just like in other colleges. The course curriculum was great. Exams were not tough.

Absolutely, I love my college.

Faculty: In our institute, the faculty-to-student ratio is quite good, it is nearly up to 9:1. Approaching the faculty members is very easy, as they are supportive. All the faculty members are good, so we cannot take the names. There are two exams, mid-semester and end-semester. They are a little bit tough. The curriculum is also relevant when it comes to the core branches, and it is somewhat non-relevant for the tech branches.

Placement in our institute is appreciable.

Faculty: The teachers vary from department to department. Every professor is different. Some are good and some are not. The course curriculum is not fully relevant, as they are still living in an old ideology, which sometimes backfires, I think so. The exams are not that difficult. You can study a day before and pass easily in every subject. Almost everyone here passes.

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.
