Answer lateriit patna aur iit gandhinagar me civil branch kiski sahi h
Greetings,
one should make such decisions based on:
- Placements
- Faculty
- Internship and project opportunities
-Alumni network
IIT Patna's civil branch in that regard is really great. they have many government as well as private job opportunities. (the civil department of IIT Patna holds many environment related projects for the Bihar Government), they have a great research atmosphere amongst the students and non-branch related placements are also great.
As for IIT Gandhinagar - Civil students mostly go for non civil fields of employment, they opt and sit for interviews of managerial positions and as far as internship opportunities are concerned they are decent.
IIT Patna would be a better option for B.tech in civil engineering, but you may choose any other.
Good day!
Sir metallurgical and material engineering from Iit patna or material science and engineering from Iit gandhinagar , which is Good?
Dear Aspirant,
IIT Patna is a good college as compared to the IIT Gandhinagar. You will find a good culture in the IIT patna for engineering. This does not meant that the culture is bad in IIT GandhiNagar, but IIT patna has a good culture.
Moreover, the placements at IIT patna are also good and soaring every year, so for the next 4 years this is a good option.
Hope this helps. Thank you.
