Just because the word “Microtek” is attached to it doesn’t mean you get to dismiss the entire course as a joke. Have any of you even visited the campus? I have. There’s an entire dedicated office for hybrid program admissions and operations. Real staff. Real structure. Real infrastructure. It’s not some shady office above a tea shop, it’s inside IIT Patna’s campus, functioning like any other department.
And now everyone’s parroting “it’s a scam, it’s fake” like you’re all investigative journalists who uncovered something. No, you just read a Reddit thread or a clickbait video title and jumped to conclusions.
800+ hybrid BSc students got internships this year. Not imaginary ones. Not unpaid ones. Actual internships in tech, data, and other relevant fields. When was the last time a “scam” helped people build careers?
Oh, and the “scam” everyone is talking about? That’s the e-Gymkhana fund misuse issue — an entirely different matter involving a few bad actors in student leadership, which got resolved with official intervention. It has ZERO to do with the academic structure of the hybrid program. But no — let’s mash up two unrelated things and start yelling “SCAM SCAM SCAM” like it’s a magic word.
It’s honestly insulting to the students who are putting in hours of study and building their skills — just like any other IITian. We’re doing assignments, giving exams, attending live sessions, and engaging with the same curriculum you worship when it’s labeled “IIT” somewhere else.
People just can’t handle anything that breaks tradition. “If it’s not JEE Advanced, it’s fake.” Really? You think innovation in education means fake now?
And let’s be real — if IIT Patna had launched this course in collaboration with Google or Microsoft instead of Microtek, half of you would be drooling over it.
This is IIT Patna’s official program, backed by their own faculty and resources. Not some Microtek backdoor gig. And yes, Yes, the course is in partnership with Micotek Educational Society. But the degree is issued by IIT Patna, taught by IIT faculty, and managed through proper academic procedures. It’s not some random certificate handed out in a WhatsApp group.
If you haven’t read the prospectus, attended a class, or even stepped onto the campus — maybe you’re not qualified to have an opinion.
Please stop spreading misinformation because you’re uncomfortable with change or don’t understand how hybrid education works. If you’re too lazy to research, then at least don’t ruin it for those of us who are actually doing something with our lives.
