It is totally worth your money.

Really good college experience.
Placements: There weren't many placements done for the students in my batch; the ones who got placed got average to above average salaries. Top recruiting company was TCS. I'd say 30-35% students got internships from my course, and most of them got internships in local firms and not a big company. Top roles ordered were data processing roles.
Infrastructure: Our college provided us with free Wi-Fi. We had labs accessible to the students studying under a course that required laboratory. The classrooms are in good condition. We also got a library with numerous books, both course books and others. I didn't reside in the hostel, so I can't tell for sure what it's like and what the quality of everything is, but I had friends who did, and they said that it's above average at best.
Faculty: All of the professors are well qualified for their jobs. They are quite helpful too. The teaching quality is great with most of the professors, although a bit old-fashioned. The course curriculum is somewhat relevant. It doesn't make the students industry-ready, but it does provide a slight idea of what it's going to be like.
Other: I chose this course because I wanted to become a chartered accountant and also because I love accounting. The best thing about my course was definitely the college life. I wish the teachers would adopt a modern way of teaching.

Average college life and future.

It is very disappointing because of the faculty members there, otherwise, it is a good experience.
Placements: There are no placement offers in B.A. English Hons. Programme. The course doesn't have a recruitment programme, one has to be good in the studies and has to find jobs and a career on their own efforts. In other programmes, there are placement opportunities, like in the English Communication programme, Radio Patna gives placement offers, and many of my friends went there for internships, and some of them got hired as the Radio Jockey.
Infrastructure: The classrooms and hostel have adequate facilities with free Wi-Fi and sanitation. The library has books of all kinds, from textbooks to novels. The campus is full of greenery, there are different kinds of flowers and plants around the college. The canteen has good sanitation, and the food is delicious and affordable, too.
Faculty: The faculty members are well-qualified and knowledgeable. However, they do not actively participate in the teaching. Many times they would be late to the classes, and often our classes do not happen. The syllabus and curriculum are to the point and very easy to understand.
Other: The course I opted for was because of my interest in literature. Except for education, everything is right there. The college fests are organized incredibly well, and there are lots of events happening throughout my semester. The seniors are interactive and are very helpful.
