How good is NIT Patna? Is it comparable with better NITs and good private institutes like Thapar?

NIT Patna has carried this ‘NIT’ tag since 2004. Here are some advantages of joining NITP-

1. The crowd at NIT Patna, like any other NIT, is really good and consists of some of the best brains in the country.
2. NIT Patna has a student exchange program with a Korean University.
3. The environment over there is quite nurturing.
4. It has a locational advantage over most other NITs. You can access the best CAT/GATE/IES coaching centers easily from there.
5. The placements are improving each year. 
6. Some companies that visit the campus for placements include- OracleFSS, Oracle Cloud Computing, MuSigma, Polaris, Verity Knowledge solutions, Vedanta(Alu), Verizon, Tata Motors, Maruti Suzuki, Hero MotoCorp, Jindal Steels, L&T, Havels, SAP Labs, Snapdeal, Amazon, UnitedHealth Group, First American Pvt. Ltd. , BPCL, Housing.com, Samsung R&D, Zomato, Oxigen, Factset, Bharat Aluminium, Samsung, ABB, Siemens and Reliance.

But I would like to warn you that the campus life isn’t really great at NIT Patna. However, the new Bihta campus of NIT Patna is expected to come into existence soon. It will be spread across 125 acres of land.

I would say that NIT Patna is doing quite well and it shouldn’t be compared to other NITs or Thapar. If you have the will to build a bright future for yourself, this institute will definitely help you achieve your dream.
