The verdict
Good fit
If you have a valid GATE score and want the IIT brand without a massive fee burden, this is a smart pick. Placements are strong (85% placed, avg ₹16.5 LPA), the cohort is tiny (30 seats), and the curriculum is research-first. Just remember — Patna isn't a metro tech hub, so off-campus networking and hustle are on you.
