Two of my cousins went to BIT Sindri and BIT Mesra, Patna extension.According to both of their experiences, BIT Sindri is better than BIT Patna.Here is a comparison of the two institutes. 

Fees: 

One of my cousins spends one lakh per semester for his BE degree at BIT Patna. While the other completed his BTech degree for around 70,000-80,000 at BIT Sindri. 

Type of Degree:

BIT Mesra offers BE degrees for engineering. While BIT Sindri offers BTech degrees for the same. There’s a slight difference between BE and BTech. BTech degrees are only delivered by Govt. colleges like IITs, NITs, etc. and BTech has an edge over BE.

Infrastructure:

BIT Sindri definitely offers better infrastructure despite the fact that it is quite an old institute. 

Hostel Accommodation:

The hostel accommodation at BIT Sindri is not good. BIT Patna has much better hostel facilities.

Other Facilities: 

Playgrounds, hangout spots, Wi-Fi facilities are far better at BIT Patna. 

Placements:

Placement at both institutes is almost the same. My cousin from BIT Sindri was placed at Electrosteel. Whereas, the one from BIT Patna was placed at Infosys. 

Campus Life:

Well, campus life at all the engineering colleges has the same pattern, i.e. friends, parties, fest, etc. These institutes are not the exception. 

This information should be enough to choose one of these two institutes. So, choose according to your preference.

First of all, it is one of the most sought out branches here in BIT Sindri, so definitely if you are studying CSE and the world of coding fascinates you then go for it. Without a doubt, I can say that if you are good at coding and you are really passionate about it then the college doesn't matter much because there are many good online courses and competitions available to prove your skills.

In terms of placements, you will be placed, but not in the companies you desire. Metallurgical engineering clearly outperforms the competition. To be honest, production and chemicals are not great, but it also depends on the person, as I have seen my seniors from these branches get placements in Vedanta and Tata with good salary packages.

This rank is the average rank which is an annual trend for BIT Sindri.

After all other counseling such as JEE, WBJEE, etc. various allocated seats became vacant because numerous students who scored good ranks in other exams got admission to other colleges.

In such a situation, a spot round of counseling additionally takes place for the vacant seats. If the student got a lower rank and is lucky enough then they can make it to BIT Sindri in that round. For that, the student has to inquire through Online Notice for the Spot Round notification. So, overall there are in total 3 normal rounds and a spot round takes place for BIT Sindri conducted by JCECEB.
