5.0

5.0Placements5.0Infrastructure5.0Faculty5.0Crowd & Campus Life5.0Value for Money

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

Placements: This was one of the prestigious colleges in India. Around 90% of students were placed from our institute. NIT Patna provided the highest placement offers after Mechanical Engineering. The highest package offered was 21 LPA, and the lowest was 4 LPA. The internships at our college were not traditional. The highest recruiting companies were TCS, BHEL, L&T, HAL, and many more.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure of our institute was moderate. Classrooms were decent, and labs were average. A library was present in our institute where many books were available. Hostel facilities were like a typical government college hostel. They were decent and sufficient for accommodation. Food was neither very good nor very bad.

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 one of the greatest colleges in India.

Placements: Approximately 96% of students from our branch have been placed, on average, over the last three years. The highest package is 86 LPA, and the lowest package is 6–7 LPA. The top recruiting companies are Amazon, Microsoft, Google, Adobe, and Accenture. Samsung, HCL Technologies, and L&T also recruit students in the core sector, while Tata Motors remains a consistent recruiter.

Infrastructure: The electrical department in our college is comparatively better than the other branches. Labs are good and well-equipped. Being a first-year student, I stay in a newly built hostel, which is probably one of the best among government colleges. The mess food is not very good. The classrooms are good and modern and feel like those at IIT Bombay. The campus feels green and good, but most of it remains empty. The college lacks an auditorium, but one is currently under construction.

Faculty: Teachers are qualified and knowledgeable. Many are helpful and supportive. The teaching quality is good overall. The course curriculum is relevant and updated, and many feel it helps make students industry-ready. Semester exams are usually moderate to fair. If you prepare well, you can pass them. The pass percentage is around 90% in our branch.

Absolutely decent institute.

Placements: Approximately 87% of students from our branch get placed on average over the last five years. The highest package is 66 LPA, and the lowest package is 8–9 LPA. The top recruiting companies are Amazon, Flipkart, Microsoft, Google, Adobe, and Accenture. Samsung, HCL Technologies, and L&T also recruit students in the core sector, while Tata Motors remains a consistent recruiter.

Infrastructure: The electrical department in our college is comparatively better than the other branches. Labs are good and well-equipped. Being a first-year student, I stay in a newly built hostel, which is probably one of the best among government colleges. The mess food is not very good. Classrooms are good and very modern. The campus feels green and good, but most of it remains empty. The college has a student activity centre where all indoor games are played.

Faculty: Teachers are qualified, knowledgeable, helpful, and supportive. The teaching quality is good overall. The course curriculum is relevant and up to date, helping make students industry-ready. Semester exams are usually moderate to fair. If you prepare well, you can pass them. Exams are of two types. End-of-semester and mid-semester exams, and both are easy to moderate level. Anyone who studies for 10 days before the exam can score decent marks.

Absolutely, I love my college.

Placements: In my institute, the highest package offered is around 40 LPA, and our average package is around 16 LPA, which I think is good. This is the first batch from ECM that is on placement. I think with time, placements will be better than the current scenario. I would like to inform you that all of them are placed in non-core, so this branch is completely on the tech side. With time, the branch demand will increase in the market.

Infrastructure: Hostel, I would rate 5 above and more especially, the hostel is at the level of IITs and above any NITs hostel. Cleanliness in the hostel is also top-level and sweeping machines are used. Mess food, I would rate 4.5. Non-vegetarian food is very good. Vegetarian students have to suffer a little bit. Medical, I would rate 5. There is always an ambulance available 24/7, and there are doctors for stress and anxiety. Also, one of my classmates has anxiety problems, so the college authority takes it seriously. Sports, I would rate 4. Mostly, all sports are available, so overall 4.

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.

Placements: Almost 80 to 85 percent of students get placed every year. The highest package is 15 LPA, and the lowest package is 4.5 LPA. Top recruiters are Accenture, Adobe, and Amazon. Around 10–15 percent of seniors get internships. The top role offered is MERN Developer. In the last 2–3 years, there have been some placement issues. Many seniors are not placed through campus recruitment and try to get jobs off campus.

Infrastructure: Our college provides all the general facilities such as Wi-Fi, labs, classrooms, library for all the departments. In our department, there are many laboratories. The hostel room size is good, but the washrooms are not cleaned properly, and the mess does not have enough workers.

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.

Overall I am very satisfied with my college it has every facility for students.

Placements: The college placement percentage last year was approximately 80 percent. The highest package offered is 41 LPA, the average is 9 LPA, and the lowest is 3.6 LPA. Top recruiting companies are Google, Amazon, Microsoft, etc. Usually most placements occur in tech roles.

Infrastructure: We have 2 campus one in Patna main city and Bihta. Bihta campus has new and modern infrastructure but construction is still going on but labs, classrooms, and the library are decent. While both campus have very good facilities such as a gym, student activity centre, medical facilities, and ambulance. First year hostel is below average but after the first year hostel shift it is better.

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.

Other: Events and fests restarted this year it was fun and chaotic. You can apply for NSP and FFE for a scholarship. There are lots of extracurricular activities to do like music, dancing, poetry, sports, and plenty of clubs to join.
