The Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Patna is one of the new IITs established by an Act of the Indian Parliament on August 6, 2008. In all these years, the institute has seen a good growth in the placement statistics. What started as 83 offers in BTech 2012-13 placement seasons, has jumped to 239 offers in the 2020-21 academic session.
In 2017-18, the total number of BTech offers were 192, which increased to 210 in 2018-19, but dipped to 202 in 2019-20. However, this was the only dip the institute has observed in the past five placement batches. The total number of offers increased from 202 in 2019-20 to 239 in 2020-21 and then jumped drastically to 412 to 2021-22.
