How's NIT Patna? How's placement here? And who is going to join NIT Patna this year

NIT Patna is always considered a low-ranking NIT mainly because of its old infrastructure and extremely small campus. NIT Patna's Overall ranking by NIRF is 101 out of 200 colleges in India in 2023. However, these ranking bodies cannot be relied on as their criteria are vague. If you evaluate NIT Patna solely on the basis of academics and placements then trust me it's among the top 15 NITs.

Let's talk about placements first:

NIT Patna Placements 2023 are ongoing and more than 120 companies visited the campus during the placement drive. Around 609 students were placed and the highest package stood at INR 52 LPA whereas the average package stood at INR 14 LPA. Some of the top recruiters included ONGC, Bharat Electronics, Google, etc.

Here are the company-wise placements at NIT Patna:

As you can see the placement scenario is great and its expected to improve further in the future. Here are some additional reasons why you need to consider joining NIT Patna

• Its location in the heart of the city gives students easy access to GATE tuitions. In fact. In 2020 the GATE topper was from NIT Patna
• The campus is tiny with limited facilities but the Ganga Ghaat of NIT Patna adds beauty to the overall campus and ambiance.
• The competition is high thereby maintaining the quality of intake.

Overall, NIT Patna is a great institute but fails to get the hype it deserves.
