Patna,(BiharTimes): In the eyes of Bihar State Electricity Board students of engineering colleges of Bihar are many times superior to Patna-based National Institute of Technology (NIT).
Students as well as their teachers in NIT were stunned to see that only 11 out of 60 of their candidates, who appeared in the interview held last April for the post of Assistant Engineers in BSEB, got selected. There was in all vacancy for 120 posts.

What is strange is that 48 students of Muzaffarpur Institute of Technology (MIT), 35 of Bhagalpur College of Engineering (BCE), and 27 of Birla Institute of Technology (BIT), Patna, got selected.
How could students of these engineering colleges of Bihar do so better than NIT, when there is no denying the fact that MIT and BCE are facing acute shortage of faculty and teachers from Polytechnic Colleges are teaching there.
After the September 30 result students and teachers of NIT have started accusing the BSEB administration of ignoring their students, when the fact is that it is considered among the best college of the state.
A senior professor of NIT said that when they contacted the BSEB administration after the publication of the final merit list, the latter claimed that the selection had been made on the basis of marks scored by the students in their final year. He said that it is unfair to compare the marks of NIT students with that of other institutes. Here, the students have to clear eight semesters over four years, whereas students of MIT and BCE clear yearly examination.
Apart from that, the evaluation process of NIT is very different from other engineering colleges of Bihar. They are also exposed to a number of training programmes and are better trained than students of other institutes, NIT teachers claimed.
While students from all over India get admission in NIT after qualifying a stiff competition, those who get admission in engineering colleges in Bihar had to qualify much easier competition.
However, BSEB joint secretary A K Sinha was quoted in The Telegraph as saying: “Selection of candidates was done on the basis of their final-year results. It was done in a fair manner.”
But he refused to comment on how so few students of NIT could be selected.
