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.
