Indian Institute of Technology B.Tech Review By Shaurya Aggarwal

Overall IIT Patna can be considered as a good IIT college considering it being a second generation IIT. It has almost all of the facilities which any IIT, NIT or a normal engineering college has these days. So, it can't be thought of that it being in a place like Patna Bihar is backward or something similar.

The courses offered here consist of a large variety in number and includes many of the latest courses being offered in top colleges also, some includes AI, VLSI, etc. I chose this branch because it was the one, I got at this rank. And I considered getting a gen2 IIT to be better than any NIT I was getting. And IIT Patna comes somewhat in the middle of the generation 2 IITs.

Since I am in first year so I can talk about the professor of first year only. The professors here are also very varying in terms of how good they teach. Like some professors teaches so well that even if you just revise the class notes after coming back from college to your hostel then also you are half done for your exams but some professors are really scary, like even if you pay full attention in their class then also you are likely not to understand anything in the class and have to depend on your friends and YouTube for understanding that subject. Collective study in your college life is the key to success.

After looking at the previous year starts, i.e., 2022 I can clearly say that placements at IIT Patna are up to the mark even in the recession phase of the market. And it is not so that if you are in a good branch too then also you will get a low package due to the college being in a place like Bihar as many of the top companies visit our college. And also, if you are from lower branches like core branches and others then also you can get a hefty package if you do well in the tech sector then also those companies can recruit you as told to us by the professors here about the previous batch recently passed out.

Hostel in first year here are one of the best things you could get in an engineering college. Means they are fully furnished with new furniture and new paints on walls and good tiling on the floor. Their maintenance is such that you would not feel that you are in a government college hostel as you feel in any other college review from net. You would get 3 sharing room in first year, but the room is so much big that when things are arranged there is a lot of space still left inside your room. There are 3 separate table chair bed and 2 almirah. Each floor has water coolers and washrooms. Also, the hostels here are equipped with lifts so that's a perk over some of the colleges which are better than this also.

Campus infrastructure is latest and up to the mark. It is not so that you will find any infrastructure like it is seemingly old one as a government college looks like. The classes are well equipped with latest furniture and that too with ac facility. Classes are big enough for students to be accommodated. Also, there's a library that is also well furnished and the good thing is that a huge new library is being built here which will be then one of the best things in the college.

Overall campus life is decent, and you can't complain at least on all of the basic necessities. Although there are lesser shops like there is no Domino's or something sort of that. There is a food court, grocery store, stationary shop, Nescafe, dhaba, hubnet, etc. Although the campus is just 500acres but it's so much big when you roam around that even after accommodating so many students it feels empty :) there are as many clubs as you will find in any other IIT. So, you can explore your interest in any of those. There are many sports here to be explored by you who include badminton, cricket, basketball, volleyball, football, lawn tennis, etc. There is a gym too. There is lot of tests organised here which lifts our mood in the exam time stress. And also, daily there is one or the other activities going on in the college to be participated by us.
