Well,the first thought that would come to your mind when this term Indian Institute of Technology,Patna,is talked about will be regarding the faculty!!!Let me first put forward few disclaimers:This answer pertains to only the faculty deployed to look after the undergraduate studies.IITPatna is no more a new IIT now .It was established way back in 2008 and it stands today in 2017 well settled in it’s permanent campus a few kilometres from Patna!The prerequisite to read this answer is that you should wipe off all the dirt that this tag of a New IIT spreads in your mind, to blur the true image of IIT Patna today.The faculty here is well qualified -they earned their PhD degrees from renowned institutes and are now asset to the institute.The faculty at IITP is at par with most of the so called older IITs .The amazing fact about IITP is concerning the student to faculty ratio which is way better than most other IITs.The faculty is always ready to help you almost instaneously and virtually !!!Just drop a mail and they will sort out your problems within 12 hours-sometimes even within few minutes.Also at the end of each semester it is mandatory for all students to fill in a feedback form wherein a student’s holistic opinion regarding the particular faculty responsible for that particular course is taken care of.Thus the faculty is constantly improving via the feedback form :pThe professors not only help you academically but also are involved with the students in helping them outperform others in internationally and nationally acclaimed competitions of literally all branches.So if you choose IITP over other IITs ,you wont leave dissappointed :)
