A large number of experienced faculty members along with many Ph.D. students are teaching the students. Some of the senior faculty members could even teach more than one subject. Exams are conducted very strictly according to the academic calendar and investigators always have an eye on the students during exams. So, no malpractice is followed in this college.

Good experience.

The teachers are really helpful. You can reach out to the faculty anytime you want. The time table is also good. You will have 4 classes per week for a 4 years credit course. The institute also offers minor courses in each department. I'm not very sure about the industrial training. You will have mid and end semester exams in each semester followed by a viva also. They are moderately difficult. Most people fail in Mathematics generally with every branch having their particular difficult subject.

Experience is superb.

Faculty are also nice; they are helpful and humble. The curriculum is relevant from the second year onward. It makes the students industry-ready. It is very easy to pass a semester exam. Only 5% of students fail an exam if their performance is very poor in the end-of-year exam.

Have a question related to NIT Patna ?

I'm getting NIT Patna 5 year integrated (BTech+MTech) Cyber security but I want to give GATE and try to get IIT to do MTech in cse. Is it possible to leave 5 year integrated course if I qualify GATE and want to do MTech from other colleges?

In most cases, leaving a 5-year integrated M.Tech program after the B.Tech portion (usually after 4 years) to pursue an M.Tech elsewhere through GATE is not possible.

Integrated programs are designed as a complete package, with the B.Tech portion leading seamlessly into the M.Tech specialization. Exiting after the B.Tech portion might disrupt the curriculum and might not grant you a standalone B.Tech degree.

Universities often have regulations that don't allow students to exit integrated programs midway.

Carefully review the regulations or brochures related to the 5-year integrated M.Tech program at NIT Patna. Look for sections on program structure, exit options, or award of degrees. Reach out to the admissions office or program coordinator at NIT Patna. They can give you the most accurate information about leaving the program after the B.Tech portion.

i am from bihar and i score 88.5 percentile in jee main can i take admission in nit patna

Hello student,

if you scored 88.5 percentile but you belong from the general category, then it will be tough to get NIT Patna. However, if you belong to reserved category like the ST, then you have a chance to get through.

If you want only NIT Patna and you belong to other categories, then I suggest that you sit for the second attempt in the April session to imrpve your score and increase your chances.

If you want to check your rank range based on your percentile, then you can refer to the Careers360 JEE Main Rank Predictor: https://engineering.careers360.com/jee-main-rank-predictor?
