    Our college has knowledgeable faculty members, but it does not offer placements.
    Placements: Not a single student got placement from our course. No companies came to campus for recruitment. No students get the chance to work in companies. No roles are offered in this course.
    Infrastructure: Our college provides a library, Wi-Fi services, and study materials. Mess is not available at this institute. It is just an open university that provides distance education in many courses.
    Faculty: Teachers are very knowledgeable and supportive by nature. They guide students regarding their futures. There are many courses, like B.Sc. in agriculture, computer courses, and technical courses, for students to get knowledge in their respective fields.

    NOU is the best open University.
    Placements: There were 300 students in my department. About 10000 students or may be above got placed from my college. The placements were overall good. The placement starts from 1 to 2 LPA. The top recruiting company is HCL and other banks.
    Infrastructure: There are no good facilities in my hostel. I have never used the Wi-Fi of the college so I cannot say about it. But the classes were so neat and clean. They were advance classes. Students also respect their teachers in this college.
    Faculty: The teachers are so kind and helpful. They always try to treat us as their own. Their teaching style is excellent. The semester exams are so tough. Teachers guide us in a good manner. Semester exams are taken under cameras. The pattern of questions is repetitive.
    Other: I chose this course because I have a keen interest in arts section. My aim is to became an arts teacher. The events were good. Republic day and Independence day were celebrated greatly.

    The placements are very good here.
    Placements: From our course, many students get placements in their own fields because the reputation of our college and its results are good. In the research field of history, many students get chances from this college. There are many fields and many courses like BCA, MCA and MBA. Placements are good here.
    Infrastructure: The infrastructure is good here. All facilities are also good like Wi-Fi, laboratory, canteen and many more. There is a good building, and the canteen is very good. The washroom is very hygienic, and the auditorium is good. The entire campus is under safety, and the cameras and security of the college are good. So, the college is good.
    Faculty: All the teachers here are very helpful and good in nature. Exams are more important here, and the value of the NOU exam is very high because the exam rules are very tough. The exam rules include title checking and numbering, which are very impressive.
    Other: I chose history because I have the interest to know previous things, lifestyles and many more. Events and fests are held from time to time. Extracurricular activities in many fields are held from time to time. The connectivity is very easy, and the route is safe for all students.

    The best open university in Patna.
    Placements: It is a degree college, and it only offers distance education courses and conduct examinations. Everything depends on your talent to get a job after getting a valid and affiliated degree from this university. Examination papers are a bit tough, and it forces you to study properly.
    Infrastructure: This institute is situated on the 3rd floor of Patna's biggest building named Biscouman Bhavan. The campus is very clean with almost all facilities like labs, library, smart classrooms, fully air-conditioned seminar halls. Even the view outside is wonderful.
    Faculty: All study materials are sent through courier, and they send updates through SMS. Our teachers are quite knowledgeable and helpful. Approximately 10% of the students fail to clear exams. However, all the rest of the students qualify by quite positive scores. They also provide you with opportunities to get a job.

    I'm satisfied as the college met all my expectations.
    Placements: As Nalanda Open University provides degree in distance education, there is no placement cell in the college. As most of the students studying in this college are either working or housewives, and are not able to complete their education, but got a chance to study ahead, there was no need for placements.
    Infrastructure: Classrooms are in good condition, but they are helpful, only if they are useful for practicals too. The library is good and has the sufficient number of books. The college doesn't provide any sports and games facility. The college doesn't even provide any medical facility, but an ambulance is provided in case of an emergency.
    Faculty: The faculty members are knowledgeable, helpful, and it is very easy to approach them. Most of the classes are taken by the faculty members who have great experience in their field. The course curriculum is vast, and it covers almost everything that has been taught in other top colleges in India. The college doesn't provide any industry exposure.
    Other: The college doesn't even organise any fests and events.
