Honestly, I don’t think IIT Patna has fewer recruiters if you look at the placement statistics and compare them with the other new IITs.

IIT Patna

154

IIT Ropar

NA

IIT Bhubaneshwar

117

IIT Mandi

88 (2023)

IIT Gandhinagar

253

IIT Indore 

110

IIT Hyderabad 

335

IIT Jodhpur

200

IIT Patna is the 4th among the new IITs. A few reasons why IIT Patna has fewer companies in comparison to some new IITs are

  • The small batch size attracts fewer companies as they are forced to choose from a smaller talent pool in contrast to other IITs with bigger batch size
  • The number of branches here are limited and so the companies that offer profile related to other branches don’t come to IIT Patna
  • A very common reason is that IIT Patna is a new IIT and the students of the same branch of an old IIT have a higher JEE Advanced rank and thus are preferred to students of newer IITs
  • The location of the institute also plays a major role in attracting recruiters and Hyderabad is an IT hub with many startup and Company foundations. Bihar on the other hand is very lacking.
  • The institute is not well-connected to the airport and recruiters don’t want to go through much hassle.

Then again, IIT Patna is developing at a fast pace and attracts recruiters more than many new IITs.
