IIT Patna review

Student Snaps:

Admission:

IIT Patna is very best in India. According to NIRF ranking 2025, IIT Patna is ranked 36th in the overall category, and 39th in the research institutes category. In the India Today rankings 2024, it was ranked 9th in the category of colleges. Admission process was very smooth, firstly you apply / registration in B.Sc (CSDA) course. If cleared cutt-off and counselling, then facility contact you through the mail and after 1 to 2 weeks college organizes group discussion (GD) & verified document. Then you will have to take all your documents to the college. The overall admission experiences is good.

IIT Patna Through An Honest Insider's Perspective

Basically i gave JEE and according to my JEE Advanced rank of 2023 i was getting EE/ECE in some og the Mother IITs but i didn't want to pursue electrical engineering so took CSE in IITP. Talking about other colleges, i had options for some of the private colleges like TIET CSE, Jaypee Noida CSE. My JEE Mains did not go well so had not good options for NITs/IIITs, so yeah joined IITP CSE.

I got admission in iitbhu,vit vellore,amrutha coimbatore,griet and some eamcet colleges but when compared to these colleges, I think IITPatna is better. So I preffered Indian Institute Of Technology over other colleges. We can get these college by clearing JEE Advanced and then participating in JOSAA counselling.

IIT PATNA from the INSIDE

IIT PATNA was the first college I applied to as it was close to my hometown. IIT PATNA was my first choice. My JEE MAINS percentile was 99.8XX percentile and Adv. Rank was 2xx. I filled JOSAA counselling and in the counselling my first choice was IIT PATNA CSE and thankfully I got it.
