The verdict
Good fit
If you cleared JEE Advanced and want the IIT tag without fighting for the last seat at Bombay or Delhi, this is a smart move. The EE department posts an 88% placement rate with an ₹18.2 LPA average, and the recruiter list includes semiconductor giants like TI, Qualcomm, Intel, and Samsung. At ~₹9 lakh total fees, the ROI is hard to beat. The trade-off? Patna isn’t a metro, and as a newer IIT, the alumni network is still growing compared to the legacy campuses.
