My college looks like heaven.
Placements: Good placement record, the highest placement offer is 60 lakh above. Approximately 99% students got placed in multiple companies like Amazon, Flipkart, Microsoft, etc. Every company gives us a good infrastructure and environment when we join, and then we will learn more about the work.
Infrastructure: IIT Patna College's infrastructure is amazing, it looks like heaven. They have a big library, a big auditorium, and a garden area of 250 acres. The college looks like an angel. I love it, I like it, everything is amazing. Hostel infrastructure is good, mind-blowing, they have girls' and boys' separate hostel rooms.
Faculty: Faculty members are very good at behaviour. In terms of looks, their dressing sense is too good. Every faculty member has a polite nature. They always teach us in a good way, they always guide us, they have much more knowledge, they become so polite, they always clear our doubts.

College is very good with the IIT tag.
Placements: Currently, I am in the 2nd semester, but as per the seniors' advice, the placement cell is not so good here. Only a few students from the very first batch got internships, and also at a very low package. I do not have the correct data on how many students get placed, but it is not too many.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure of the college is very good. Hostels are also good and well-maintained. The mess food is above average and not so good. We would not feel bad on campus because there are so many sports to play, indoors or outdoors, and of course, I must say that it's not enough.
Faculty: The subjects taught here are very good. However, the way they teach is a little boring and not very good. If they bring experienced faculty members, then it will have a greater impact, but now they bring new faculty members, who I think have just completed their course.

The quality of food available in the mess and canteen is average. The hostel rooms are comfortable and clean. Multiple sports and medical facilities are available in our college.
Faculty: Teachers are very knowledgeable and experienced. They are not helpful enough, and they become angry if doubts are asked repeatedly. The teaching quality is average. Our course is curriculum-relevant, and many activities happen every month. The semester exams are quite difficult.

Placements check, coding check, no physics, no chemistry. Just maths for the first semester.
Placements: I am currently studying a BS course in artificial intelligence and cybersecurity. It is my first year. The classes have not started yet, but I've attended the orientation. They'd also invited the first-year and second-year students to tell about their experience. Placements are good, of course, because it's IIT.
Infrastructure: I'd better not say because I've not visited it yet, but according to my friends who study there, they said it's not that good because it's a government college, so I can say it is average. The hostel facilities need some improvement; we are both invited to all the fests and extracurricular activities.
Faculty: 75% attendance is compulsory. The difficulty level is like the other B. Teaching courses requires dedication and interest in coding and stuff. Weekly quizzes and assignments are taken regularly. I would not suggest you take any tough course like B.Teach or something with it. Be it a standalone course, it will show you results.
Other: The fests are amazing. Every year, there are at least 1 or 2 fests. Every 6 months, 15 to 20 days of campus immersion take place. We can also participate in all the sports and activities.
