How is the M.Tech (civil branch) at NIT Patna if the ESE and GATE preparation is the primary concern?

One of my friends has completed his BTech from NIT Patna. I have an idea about the academic environment and placement opportunities at NIT Patna. 

• MTech program has a relatively light workload giving you enough time for other things.
• The academic opportunities are limited for MTech students but plenty for BTech students. 
• Faculty comprises friendly and learned professors. However, you will have to resort to self-study at some point. 
• The NIT tag helps you in the initial stages of your career. 

Overall, completing MTech from NIT Patna might offer excellent opportunities. The government of India also encouraged the researchers by its schemes directly from NITs. You can also opt for academia and become a teacher or start working in a PSU. The institute will provide you with enough time and opportunities for civil services or IES,
