Lives in Patna

My knowledge is limited to IIT Patna CSE as my brother studies there and his frequent narrations have given me a good insight of the institute. But trust me after going through the points you won’t consider IIT Gandhinagar or NIT Allahabad anymore.

  • Usually, the majority of professors in IITs and NITs are a bit careless but here the CSE professors are especially supportive.
  • IIT Patna CSE Placements recorded 98.65% with the highest package at INR 82.05 LPA and the average package at INR 35.57 LPA. Siem exceptional cases even receive packages in CPA.
  • IIT Patna has made many big achievements and the number of students clearing the Google Summer of Code (GSoC) has also increased.
  • In the ACM-ICPC, world-level coding competition, IIT Patna stood 2nd in the Kolkata zone and 56th worldwide. 
  • IIT Patna is well-known for its good coding culture so its CSE program is great.

 So I would say go for IIT Patna!
