Compare IIT Patna: Ranking, Fees, Courses, Placement & Reviews

Hello,

The BCECE counseling dates for government engineering colleges in Bihar have already passed, and admission to IIT Patna requires clearing JEE Advanced, a process that is also complete for the current year.

For admission this year, your only option is to contact private engineering colleges in Bihar if they offer admission based on JEE Main scores or Class 12 marks.

If this isn't possible, you will need to prepare for the JEE Main and Advanced exams for 2026 to try again for admission to IITs or other engineering colleges in Bihar.

Good luck!!

With a CRL rank of 381,094 and OBC-NCL rank of 136,581, admission to IIT Patna’s BS-MS program is very unlikely because the cutoffs are much lower. This program is highly competitive. You can consider other state or private engineering colleges where your rank fits better. Improving your rank by preparing for JEE Main again is a good idea. Also, IIT Patna’s BS-MS program requires good board marks and clearing entrance tests like IITP-SAT. Let me know if you want help finding other options!

The MCA from IIIT Ranchi in collaboration with IIT Patna generally holds stronger reputation and better placement opportunities due to its association with IIT. VIT’s online degree offers flexibility but is less recognized globally and may have limited placement reach.
