Which is better, a PhD at Jadavpur University or at IIT Patna?

My friend had options of Ph.D. from JU, IIEST as well as IIT Patna and still chose IIT Patna. She claimed that IIT Patna had a better research culture and the professors get work published in very good journals, A/A* conferences, etc. The professors motivate the students for the same and this aspect attracted him the most. However, your personal preferences also come to play here. So consider the following points

• If you want to complete your Ph.D. quickly, JU will serve you better. 
• If you are ready to commit yourself to hard work and increase your publications gradually with your knowledge and time
• IIT Patna students get 2.5lacs per student to go to any conference at a tenure of 5 years.
• If you want to enjoy college life in addition to research work then JU is better. The college ambiance is great with a dynamic city life. 

Choose IIT Patna for its research culture and not the IIT tag.
