IIT Patna: Students' Opinion

AI-Generated Summary based on 1 Reviews

The college admission process requires candidates to take the GATE exam, with shortlisting based on scores and interviews, as demonstrated in 2017. The faculty is highly qualified, often with international degrees and strong research capabilities, though some members struggle with teaching effectiveness due to issues like patience and maturity. The postgraduate fee structure is considered affordable and reasonable for students.

Placement opportunities are robust in departments like Computer Science and VLSI, but other departments face challenges due to outdated syllabi or lack of recognition. Postgraduate students benefit from a stipend provided by the Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD).
