Which new IIT, like IIT Bhubaneshwar, IIT Mandi, IIT Dhanbad and IIT Patna, is the best for civil engineering?

IIT Patna is the best among the given new IITs in civil engineering. IIT (ISM) Dhanbad is the oldest institute. One of my friends studied at IIT Patna and it was a great experience for him.

Some of the reasons for opting for IIT Patna over other institutes are –

• • Faculty – The members are highly qualified. So, be assured of the quality of education you would receive here.
  • Facilities – They have their own environmental engineering lab, geotechnical engineering lab, transportation engineering lab, its own workshop which is all top-notch.
  • Events and activities – The department has its own club – ACE (Association of Civil Engineers) which helps to exchange knowledge between the juniors and seniors, the culture of unity, building alumni network, etc.

• Alumni Network: Many of the alumni are doing research in prestigious global institutions such as Stanford University, UC Berkeley, NUS Singapore, University of Texas – Austin, Virginia Tech, etc.

You may do higher studies if you prefer as well. You may also prefer to do UPSC or Engineering Services (Railways) or GATE or CES exams etc.

IIT Patna is one of the best institutes for civil engineering among the new IITs. However, you may choose any other new IIT as well in case they are more convenient to you.
