If you didn't get admission in any colleges of Patna, then this is the best college in Patna.
Placements: There is no provision for campus placement in this college. We have to depend on government jobs after being graduate. The placement officer of our college is very inactive. No company has ever visited our college in more than 50 years of establishment.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure of this college is very good. It premises is well maintained and cleaned. There is a water filter in each subject's department. There are multiple other facilities like Wi-Fi, library, canteen, adequate number of equipment in laboratory, etc.
Faculty: Faculty is very supportive. They are punctual and dedicated to their work. They conduct many extracurricular activities on regular basis to help students grow in every aspect. Despite the arrival of covid 19, this college conducted all their examinations on time which is a commendable job.

Our college is one of the best that gives a great college life to fulfill students' dreams.
Placements: Our college provided very less placements with salary packages of less than 1 LPA. Other universities appointed students from our college as teachers. Around 40% of students got placed. The top role offered was a professor.
Infrastructure: Facilities provided in our college were very good like the canteen and hostel facility. Our college had an antique infrastructure and a history of over 100 years. Our college had a great set of professors and all facilities like Wi-Fi, drinking water, etc. The quality of food served in the mess was good.
Faculty: Our college is one of the best for education in Bihar. Students could study science, arts, commerce, and many more. Teachers in our college were very supportive and helpful. Exams were conducted semester-wise. The pass percentage was very good. Students took admission after writing the entrance test.
Other: Our college is beside the river Ganga which looks beautiful look. The people were very good. Students enjoyed their college life. This course needs a lot of education so students can go for post-graduation.

This college is a place for all-around education in Patna.
Placements: I am highly satisfied to get my education from BN College Patna. Our batch was the most amazing, with almost all students got selected for an internship. Almost half of the students choose to become content writers, while a few choose to continue studying further. The 2017 batch was special because we got to lead the first-ever youth parade in the college. I was quite satisfied to be the poem-reciter of the class. Most of us got a salary package between 2.5 LPA to 4 LPA. The other special thing about BN College was our teachers who made us successful.
Infrastructure: I liked the library and class structure of our college. I enjoyed it the most in the auditorium of our college. The playground is a very good place to enjoy recess. The canteen serves various delicacies and ice-cream flavors.
Faculty: All teachers of our batch were very helpful. They have detailed knowledge of the subjects, and they guided us in all parts of life. The curriculum of the English Hons is a bit old and needs updation.
Other: I have chosen English Hons at BN College because my friend recommended me to join it. I have always wanted to be an author, and I found BN College an ideal destination. The syllabus needs to be updated with more emphasis on Indian literary history. Our college conducts 4-5 activities per year.

Review of B.N. College, Patna University.
Placements: I am from 2017 batch. I got admission by clearing the admission test. For honours courses, one should have minimum 45-50% of acadamics in their 12th. Usually honours students don't get placements. Only vocational courses students get placements. Top recruiting companies were HP, Microsoft and Jet king. The lowest salary package offered was of 2.5 LPA, and the average salary package offered was of 8 LPA. About 30-40 % of the students will get an internship from college.
Infrastructure: We have air-conditioned classrooms, Wi-Fi, library well-maintained ground and study park. Our college is very good for students who are economically weak. They will get good facilities and timely exams if they join Patna university. It is the only government university in Bihar that gives your degree on time. That's why I selected this college.
Faculty: Faculty members of our college are NET qualified. They are helpful, dedicated, knowledgeable and qualified. But there is a set of 6 teachers in our department, and only one permanent teacher and 3 guest faculty members are available in our department. This course doesn't make student industry-ready. We have to go to general competitions.
Other: I have an interest in English literature, and the reason to select this course is to get more idea and depth knowledge in political science. I think course syllabus should be revised now. Many events, annual functions and extracurricular activities are held from time to time. The infrastructure facilities must improved to provide quality education to many students. Annual sports day, Republic day, Vivekananda birth anniversary, Sarswati Puja are some of the notable events of this college. The students who are in NCC will get a guaranteed scholarship. Most important students get here scholarship for their support.

After all college is good but facility needs to be improved.
Placements: Placement is not good only one or two student got placement out of 30 student. Only one or two company come for placement and they are not big company. Placement needs to be improved. As we know that unemployment is big problem of India. They must work on placement.
Infrastructure: Classroom is good apart from it the condition of everything (like hostel, mess canteen medical facility sports) is pathetic. Without facility of these things student won't feel good. Lab is not available. Government must work on it. Facility must be like 21st century.
Faculty: Teachers are helpful, qualified and they teach well. Curriculum is good. It make students industry ready. Syllabus is mind blowing and it is divided in semester wise and it makes it perfect. There are lots of thing to explore. Here we get various subject to read.
