Whether IIT Patna CSE is better or MnC at IIT Guwahati, depends on what you want to do after your graduation.
If you have an interest in pure and abstract Math and want to do research in Maths, theoretical computer science, Set theory, Group Theory, and Complexity Theory, then the IIT Guwahati MnC program is the best for you.
However, if you have an interest in coding and want to become a competitive programmer, or a software developer, and research in areas other than Theoretical Computer Science, then IIT Patna CSE is the right choice for you. Extensive research on every CS field is done here.
Basically, the academic workload of the MnC program at IIT Guwahati is too much with a very rigid curriculum that will spare you no time to focus on coding. No doubt, the MnC program too has excellent job opportunities in finance, banking, and software jobs. But, the demand for CS students is much more than MnC students and is expected to be increasingly so over the next few years.
Common courses of CS and MNC include theoretical computer science, some being computer networks, and operating systems while the rest of the courses are related to abstract Maths/pure Math and are highly rigorous in nature. Contrary to popular belief, there aren't many common concepts between MnC and CS.
IIT Guwahati will give you a slightly better campus life in comparison to IIT Patna considering its scenic campus and high-level fests organized by the institute.
IIT Patna's CSE department is known for its exceptional performance and achievements. Here are some highlights that showcase the department's excellence:
In conclusion, IIT Patna's CSE department has made a name for itself through its exceptional faculty, placement record, achievements, and coding culture.
The new IITs have no major differences and ranking them is quite illogical. It's the location and other personal matters that people consider while choosing one new IIT over the other. Moreover, these baby IITs are still in the development stage.

Based on NIRF rankings, IIT Patna is ranked 7th among the new IITs.
I have a friend who completed his MTech in Civil and Infrastructure from IIT Patna and he shared his experience of the same with me.
Course structure: The curriculum was poorly structured and failed to provide specialized knowledge in any area. The subjects included Environmental Engineering, Railway Engineering, Structural dynamics, construction planning and management, reliability, economics, etc. The mixture of subjects made it a jack of all trades but a master of none.
Faculties: The faculty pool here is miserable and most of them are old people enjoying their life with government funds and facilities. They rarely take classes and when they do their pedagogy is pathetic and even the most difficult topics like Reliability, FEM, dynamics, etc. were poorly taught.
Research: Comparing the research culture here and that of other IITs you will realize how pathetic the scenario is here. The reason was the lack of faculties’ research capabilities. Neither were they involved in any research work nor did they promote it to the students.
I really hope actions are taken against the falling standards of IIT Patna and the IIT standards are restored.
IIT Patna hostel is a 7-floor building and the distribution is branch-wise on every floor. Usually, the allotment is as follows
As for the roommate allotment, roommates are allocated in alphabetical order within your branch. Branch. A room has 2-3 students of the same branch and usually the same first alphabet in their name.
Honestly, I don’t think IIT Patna has fewer recruiters if you look at the placement statistics and compare them with the other new IITs.

IIT Patna is the 4th among the new IITs. A few reasons why IIT Patna has fewer companies in comparison to some new IITs are
Then again, IIT Patna is developing at a fast pace and attracts recruiters more than many new IITs.
Your question is highly illogical and those who invest their energy in getting validation from others never become successful. Who cares if someone says IIT Patna is not good if you are getting excellent opportunities here? Moreover, those questioning the credibility of IIT Patna are the same who are afraid of taking risks and want to stay on the safe side. How will you achieve success if you don’t come out of your comfort zone?
The Indian mindset forces students to focus on placements more than anything thus restricting their perspective. I had a few friends who did their internships at foreign universities and they told me that their peers always discussed new ideas and concepts and placements were their last concern.
So, stop thinking about what others think of your college and make the most out of the opportunities available to you!
IIT Patna has several sports facilities available to the sports and staff such as
Additionally there are yoga and gym facilities too. Every sport is managed by coaches who encourage the students to practice frequently and seniors also help you during practice sessions.

The Mechatronics branch in itself is not very developed in India irrespective of whichever institute offers it. IIT Patna is a new IIT and lacks the necessary resources and infrastructure while NIT Surathkal has a very challenging curriculum for MTech Mechatronics. The breakdown is 60% Mechanical and 40% Electronics. Students from other domains find it difficult to cope with the rigorous curriculum.
Although the faculty pool comprises good professors, the placement scenario is just average. So try looking for other options or go for IIT Patna instead.
