How does MTech mechatronics at IIT Patna compare to the same at NIT Surathkal?
The Mechatronics branch in itself is not very developed in India irrespective of whichever institute offers it. IIT Patna is a new IIT and lacks the necessary resources and infrastructure while NIT Surathkal has a very challenging curriculum for MTech Mechatronics. The breakdown is 60% Mechanical and 40% Electronics. Students from other domains find it difficult to cope with the rigorous curriculum.
Although the faculty pool comprises good professors, the placement scenario is just average. So try looking for other options or go for IIT Patna instead.
I am getting IIT Patna CSE, but being from Delhi, living in Patna scares the hell out of me. How can I deal with this thought?
My friend is a student at IIT Patna and shared his side of the story about city life there. Unlike the general misconception, Patna is rather a safe city.
He visited the city frequently to buy basic things and never did he feel unsafe or comfortable during the 4 years of his stay.
The campus of IIT Patna spreads across a massive 500 acres and is beautifully designed. The campus is still in its development phase but not to the extent that it will hamper your college life experience in any way.

As for the CS department, IIT Patna is very dynamic and has many clubs that will keep you motivated and interested in the field. I would certainly recommend you to go to IIT Patna and experience the bliss of college life.

Which is better NIT Patna or IIT Patna?
I don’t think it’s logical to compare IIT Patna with NIT Patna. Consider the following points
- The comparison should be done of average packages and not the highest packages. That being said, IIT Patna's highest CTC is INR 29.30 LPA, and NIT Patna's average package is INR 14 LPA.
- IIT Patna has 8 MOUs with foreign universities and 1 with the UNICEF office of Bihar thus providing better research options than NITP.
- Despite IIT Patna being younger than NIT Patna it has a better development rate than NIT Patna thus devaluing its old establishment. Being an institute of national importance, IIT Patna has better facilities such as 24/7 open Computer Centers, a wifi-enabled campus, better classrooms, better hostels, etc.
- NIT Patna's development has come to a halt and its current scenario is just average. Whereas IIT Patna is still young and is developing further every year so you can expect it to become better every year.
So between IIT Patna and NIT Patna, IIT Patna is the clear choice.

Which is better: a CSE at new IITs like Patna, Indore or a CSE at DTU?
My friend was in a similar dilemma last year and chose DTU over IIT Patna. She considers new IITs overhyped and not at par with the IIT standards. Running after the IIT tag is not logical and you should look at the bigger picture. Anaise your career prospects and see if other options fit your prospects or not.
DTU is a great option for CSE considering the excellent exposure and opportunities you will get in Delhi, the capital. The salary packages, the companies, and the profiles offered at DTU are similar to the new IITs if not better.
To make things simpler, here are a few pros and cons of going for a new IIT instead of DTU
Pros:
- The most coveted IIT tag name, helps you get admission to foreign universities and also helps you in off-campus job hunt.
- IITs have better research opportunities
- The academic structure and pedagogy are world-class at IITs
Cons:
- Being in Delhi will groom your overall personality in addition to excellent professional opportunities and exposure.
- The new IITs fail to give a vibrant and dynamic college life and are still struggling with infrastructure and basics. DTU, being old, has a vibrant culture with all sorts of fests, cultural and tech activities.
- Delhi is the hub of coaching institutes for higher education.
- DTU has a better brand name established by its successful alumni spread across the globe.
Ultimately it’s your choice whether you want a better campus life or the IIT tag.
What are the placement statistics of M.Tech CSE at IIT Patna?
IIT Patna MTech CSE placements are a bit lower than BTech students as most companies prefer BTech students over MTech students thus limiting their job opportunities. Therefore, IIT Patna MTech should be considered only if you are into research and are willing to Ph.D. after MTec. IIT Patna has excellent faculties for ML and NLP and the IIT tag will be beneficial in pursuing PhD from a foreign university.
IIT Patna Mtech's most branches like Computer Science and Engineering, Mathematics, Computing, VLSI/Embedded Systems, and Mechanical Engineering secured 100% placement. IIT Patna MTech CSE average package stood at INR 21.94 LPA.
Ultimately I would recommend you to consider IIT Patna MTech as the last option after considering the top IITs, top NITs, BITS Pilani, and top IIITs especially if you are after placements.
