One of the best sociology courses in Bihar. It provides a good study, but there are many issues. 
Placements: Sociology is a famous subject for civil service aspirants. There is no or little placement from this institute. Some Ngo's visit here, like MEDHAH. They invite you to do some social work or some work that is directly related to society. We studied urban sociology, rural sociology, tribal sociology, and so on, in sociology. 
Infrastructure: Our college's infrastructure is pretty good. There are basic amenities such as a library, a clean classroom, a water filter, a common room, and so on. The Patna University has many hostels. Hostels are big, with all essential facilities except a mess. Every hostel has its own playground. One of the best medical facilities in our university is there, as it has its own hospital where every student gets free treatment or medicine facilities. The university sports committee organises many intercollegiate outdoor or indoor games.
Faculty: No doubt every teacher is helpful, has a Ph.D., and has much knowledge in their discipline. They have good teaching qualities. A sociology course is curriculum relevant. This subject is the scientific study of society, which is why it is important to know the people and why it makes their students industry-ready. The semester exam is not too difficult. Those who attend classes regularly will pass the examination easily. 35% is needed to pass the examination.
Other: Sociology is the most famous subject for civil service examinations. Because I want to work in the civil service, I chose this subject as an elective for my future. Sociology has less research. This college has a dearth of important and recent books. So my wish is to improve this. Many events are organised by our department, like the freshers party and the farewell party, and many sociology-related problems are helped by our department. Our campus is 33 acres in size and is connected to many other colleges as well as the Ganga River. Many scholarship facilities are available through the government, especially for girls. They paid very low fees. The surrounding area of our college is great. You see the Ganga River from our class, which is a next-level experience. Many extracurricular activities are organised by our department or our university.
