Which is the best in EE and ME, IIT Dhanbad, Bhubaneswar, Patna , Jodhpur or Mandi?

I don’t know much about other IITs and am familiar with the situation in IIT Patna only. My brother is currently a student there in the Electrical branch. He says that the situation here is nothing that people with preconceived notions regarding Patna or Bihar think it to be. IIT Patna UG EE Courses are great and it’s considered the toughest branch for a UG student like any other IITs. However, the curriculum here is very diverse and you will be introduced to both Electrical and Electronics and you can decide which one intrigues you more. You can pursue Coding and Open Source Development too as an electrical student. You will be surprised to know that IIT Patna’s best coded is a senior m of the EE Branch who cleared Google Code Jam and was also part of this year’s ACM-ICPC Team which qualified for the World Final and secured 56 Rank. There are many other examples of students who cleared GSoC. IIT Patna also encourages its students to pursue research or go for Higher Studies. The professors and seniors offer relentless support. The best part of IIT Patna is the plethora of options and opportunities you will have after 4 years!

Life at IIT Patna

Dislikes

The schedule is very much hectic here.Always we are in a rush
Our class continue till 7 Pm which makes it sometimes annoying and irritating

Fees and Financial Aid:

Year wise fees was about 2 lakhs which was the tution fees and including everything like mess and hostel and other insurance related things it will be about 3 lakhs per annum or 1.5 lakhs per semester for the general or obc people. For the sc and st they dont need to give the tution fees of 2 lakhs.They need to pay only the hostel and mess fees

Teaching curriculum is at par with industry and industry collaborations are there too.

The fee structure is pretty standard and scholarships are available for the needy. There is also assistance via loan if someone needs it. These loans are financed by major banks like State bank of India.

About IIT PATNA

The fee structure for the course is different for different caste students. As per Indian Government rules and regulations, all IITs follow the same rule. The students from general caste(OC) should pay all the tution, hostel and mess fee without any deduction. The students from OBC caste have to pay one thirds of their tution fee i.e., two thirds of the tution fee is waived, and they have to pay full hostel and mess fee. Finally the students from SC/SC caste have no tution fee and only hostel and mess fee. The tution fee is around 2.5 lakh per year and hostel plus mess fee is around 65 thousand per semester
