A good government college which provides quality education.
Placements: No placement facilities for arts students. You will not be provided any placement by college or university if you are studying in an arts stream. That's the only demerit with this college or any other college of Bihar. Placement facility is only provided for Vocational course, not a traditional course.
Infrastructure: Infrastructure is good. You will get a football ground. A big and green campus. The campus environment is very peaceful. Currently no canteen facility available. Library facility is provided but the books are too old. There are Science labs and computer labs for Science and B.Sc. students. Toilets, Hostel facility avaible.
Faculty: Faculty is good. But only Hons classes take place for B.A. All professors are Ph.D. and you have to attend two classes of 50-50 minutes each. The course is strictly designed on UPSC pattern and professors teach you topics in-depth and provide a lot of time to ask questions and clear your doubts.
Other: A lot of events take place, Students are sent to Kalinga university for sports all India sports competition. Also, university-level sports championship takes place. Many cultural activities happen regularly. And good performers are sent to IIT's and IIM's to perform. Ncc, NHS facility also available.

You may take admission in this college if your marks are average.
Placements: The college placements are average of about 60-70%. The highest placement record of last year is about to be 1lakhs to 3 Lacs. The college the highest placement till date is approximately 50% and the highest package is about to be 10 Lacs. The placement is not to be upmarked as comparison to other colleges.
Infrastructure: There is no Wi-Fi on the campus and conditions of classrooms are almost good but not so proper. Many benches and desks are outdated and the quality of labs is not so good. The infrastructure of buildings is not good it will be made during the British era and management will not rejuvenating properly from time to time. Every year annual sports meet will be held in which students got the opportunity to prove themselves.
Faculty: Professors are very good and highly qualified they will be always ready to help the students and their style of teaching is too good. Here, generally professors not used any projector to study the students but sometimes they will use it for better understanding.
Other: Events will be held regularly such as annual function. The campus is very big and always be clean and so much crowd is there. Very good connectivity between students and teachers and students among themselves.
