Patna College IAS IPS Factor.

Placements: They give placement very well and in big companies, as well as with a good package. Students are regular, and almost the class is full of students. Teachers are so good that they teach us to clear the civil services exam. Most of the IAS and IPS officers of the country come from here. Even PM Modi has raised this.

Infrastructure: Very good, since all the needed facilities are provided by the institute. A little bit of strictness can be taken on hostellers, as they sometimes cause trouble in the institute. After all, everything is good; they have Wi-Fi and a library. The surroundings are also good, as there are many trees, plants, and flowers, which make the environment clean.

Faculty: The teachers are very helpful. They clear all our doubts and teach us to clear the civil services exam. Exams are held on time, but sometimes, due to unavoidable situations, exams get late. But even after all this, the institute is too good, and students find it easy to pass hard semester exams with the teachers' help.

Review of Patna College, Patna University.

Placements: Patna College is affiliated with Patna University. The university deals with the placements of students of all its colleges. I want to point out that most of the job opportunities from the university don't get well informed to students. Students who are active on the university official site have some clue about job opportunity, specially Patna College to be precise. Top recruiting companies include Utkarsh Bank, Small MSME etc. The roles offered are not that good, especially to the arts graduate students.

Infrastructure: The College Infrastructure is one of the worst you could ever come across. It's simply awful, the only thing that this college is left with is Old Dutch style building that was built years ago. There's no care taken of the basic necessities of the students. Wi-Fi facility is available but it's not reliable. Library is of Average capacity but the facilities are not good neither the books are good here. I would prefer to make a University Library card instead of going to Patna college Library go for Patna University library that is located nearby the Central University block in that library AC.

Faculty: I belong to the state department, and the facilities are good. The faculty are good. There is a shortage of professors in many departments in Patna College. The curriculum always lacks something behind the expected date. In my course, there is no semester system. We have annual exams. However, there is a test which is necessary to be cleared to be eligible to give final examinations.

Other: I was a history major undergraduate student. The best thing about my course is to know much about Indian history is related to world history. I belonged to the science stream in my past. I wish there were more professors that were permanent in my course.

Below average college, bad infrastructure, average campus life.

Placements: Very few were placed in college. The placement was not in a very good company and the salary was very low. Couldn't even live in Patna with their salary they were providing in the placements overall we can say the placements were very bad and then it to improve this.

Infrastructure: Built by the British, still the same. The college is very old and its buildings are very weak. New but especially the state department really looked ancient they need to renovate some departments. By infrastructure Patna college is one of the very bad colleges of Patna University.

Faculty: Good faculty members but few in number and unstable. Most of the processes were guest faculty members and they were not stable they kept changing processes or different topics with which lead to confusion among the students. The curriculum was good but was not followed nicely.

Other: No.

Teachers and infrastructure are high-class with punctual exams and daily classes.

Placements: Our college does not provide any vocational or technical courses, so there are no placements. Still, there is Vanijya Mahavidyalaya on the same campus, which provides only vocational courses. Campus placements are poor in this institute. Mainly students get placements in the fifth or last semester.

Infrastructure: Our college is known for its beauty because it is on the bank of the river Ganga. Classrooms are big with fans and balls, and Wi-Fi connectivity is available with good speed. There are 3 hostels in our college. The library is big, and ancient books, new books, magazines and newspapers are also available. Sports and cultural activities are also held occasionally. Our college is also known for its cleanliness and greenery, and trees are also planted. There is a big playground.

Faculty: Our college is known for its best teachers, exam punctuality and daily classes. Approximately 75% of the attendance is necessary to appear in the examination. Approximately all teachers have done a PhD. The course is relevant, and mainly this course makes students ready for civil services exams.

Other: I have opted for history because I want to become a civil servant. I am fond of reading history as It is not boring and makes me energetic. I think a tour of some historical places can improve our course.
