Brochure stories about “best IT campus” rarely match Monday morning. On Future of Work Ep. 5, current BSc CSIT students at Patan Multiple Campus (including Kritika Pandey and classmates) describe the tradeoffs in plain language: lower cost and academic freedom on one side, thinner campus networking and infrastructure limits on the other.
What is studying CSIT at Patan actually like?
Studying CSIT at Patan Multiple Campus is workable if you are self-driven: classes generally run, senior faculty teach, and fees are far below many private options, but you should not expect the college to hand you internships or a dense senior network. Students on the episode say seniors often disappear into jobs after one batch, and internship pipelines are mostly self-made.
They also push back on a common stereotype that government campuses mean “no studying, only politics.” They acknowledge politics exists in the wider system, but describe their own classes as mostly regular, with occasional teacher coordination issues rather than daily shutdowns.
Entrance, paths, and why they chose Patan
Stories differ:
- One student came from biology in +2, prepared for both CSIT and IOE-style paths, and nearly drifted into engineering before locking CSIT.
- Another planned general BSc physics and research abroad, then switched toward CSIT with roughly a month of self-study before entrance.
- Affordability and the decision to stay in a government track show up repeatedly.
| Factor | What students reported |
|---|---|
| Cost | Government fee structure as a major reason to stay |
| Faculty | Senior teachers available; students must show up and ask |
| Infrastructure | Not the selling point; expectations should stay realistic |
| Networking | Weak via college; stronger via personal effort and outside dajus |
| Internships | Not provided by college; students hunt themselves |
| Association | CSIT association can run programs when students engage |
“AI can do a lot, but someone still has to give the command. AI learns from us.” — Paraphrased from Patan CSIT students discussing AI anxiety on Future of Work Ep. 5
Who thrives there?
Students who already learned to study without constant supervision. Several guests say they were never dependent on school/college pressure. If you need heavy hand-holding, structured private campuses or bootcamps may fit better. If you can build projects, GitHub consistency, and outside networks, Patan’s cost-to-degree ratio can make sense.
Frequently asked questions
Is the Patan CSIT entrance extremely hard?
Students treat it as competitive and prepared in different ways (institute prep vs short self-study). Difficulty depends on your math/computing base and how seriously you prepare, not on mythology alone.
Will I get campus placements?
Do not plan on a corporate placement machine. The episode’s practical advice is to strengthen your CV, ship projects, and use personal networks for internships.
Does AI make CSIT pointless?
Their consensus is no. AI replaces tasks and creates new work. Humans still direct tools, and high competition means self-development (including communication) still decides who stands out.
Choosing a campus is a career decision
If you are weighing CSIT, BIT, BCA, or non-IT paths after +2, start with a clear decision framework.
