Which is better - NIT Patna or NIT Durgapur?

NIT Patna is definitely better than NIT Durgapur in terms of campus life and academics. The institute is considered to be a prestigious engineering college in Northern India given its excellent location just 2–3 km from the city. Students get to experience city life which is a great stress buster. 

However, NIT Patna has a very small campus around 40 acres in contrast to NIT Durgapur’s 180-acre campus. The institute however has managed to provide all kinds of sports or recreational facilities even in such a limited space. There are amazing sports facilities so if you are a sports freak, this institute is for you! 

The quality of recruiters is also decent and students have been placed in firms like Adobe, Amazon, Qualcomm, NetApp, Infenera, and De Shaw while some have been placed in start-ups like Arista Networks, Belzabar.

The institute has a great culture for the preparation of competitive exams owing to several coaching institutes like MadeEasy and the ACE Academy near the campus. So if you are considering core branches, this one's for you.
