NIT Patna: 1 Answered Question

What is the present ranking of NIT Patna?

Namrata Das

To rank an institution, these factors are taken into account-

Placement percentage
Infrastructure
Brand value
Placement package
Faculty
Cutoff ranks

NIT Patna is ranked 56th among the top 100 Indian Engineering colleges and 128th overall, as per the NIRF 2023 rankings. These rankings are published by the Ministry of Education, Government of India.

NIT Patna has a good placement record which is getting better day by day. It only lags behind because of poor infrastructure and a small campus. However, it has been allocated 125 acres in Bihta. Once it shifts to a new campus, it will overcome this weakness as well.
