2.2

1.0Placements3.0Infrastructure3.0Faculty2.0Crowd & Campus Life2.0Value for Money

I would not recommend this college to anyone.

Placements: First of all, if you are coming to Patna Science College to do BCA, make your mind up, as there is no placement cell in the college and not even a single company visits the campus. Earlier, Wipro used to come but currently, there is no company. Students apply off-campus. So there is neither an internship offer provided by the college nor an on-campus placement. You have to go for off-campus drives only.

Infrastructure: Earlier, the labs were pathetic; old-school PCs were in the labs, but now the lab facility has improved; all new PCs are brought with i5 and the latest generation. Earlier, the infrastructure was pathetic but now there is a new department made specifically for the vocational course students so all the classrooms are very new and feel nice but they are now up to the mark. The university itself has a good library with a lot of books available for students to read. I have some idea about the hostel as I live I Patna but I can suggest that if you have a lot of money problems, then only go for the hostels as they are not up to the mark as I have heard and seen.

Faculty: The teachers there are very helpful, I can say about this. They are knowledgeable and very cooperative; if you are serious about getting jobs and have the will to study, they will help you a lot. There are some teachers who will make you fall in love with coding. The course curriculum is very good, just like B.Teach students. It includes all the trending technologies like web development, android, big data, etc. The exams were of moderate difficulty; if you study regularly, you will have no problem getting good marks. The CJPA system works here and you will have to go to other Patna University colleges like BN college, Law College, Patna College, etc. To give your semester exams and passing percentage, I guess it is around 4.5 cgpa.

Other: I chose to go for a BCA from Patna Science College so that I can develop my core strength in my home town and go for an MCA after graduation in other cities. The biggest thing they should add is the placement cell to the college and do coding events, etc. To make college life interesting. There is not much of a college life here, so if you only want to get a BCA degree from a highly known college and can apply for off-campus placement, then you are welcome here.

Our college updates the course curriculum according to demand.

Placements: Most of the students go for higher studies. Some mass recruiters like Wipro and TCS recruit students. Some of the students get placed. Mainly Wipro visits our college for its WILP program. TCS offers BPO roles.

Infrastructure: Our college provides separate labs for the BCA department. Labs are fully air-conditioned. Our college has 3 hostels and a huge playground for all the students to play sports like cricket, hockey, etc.

Faculty: Teachers in our college are well qualified and cooperative. The course curriculum is up to date. It includes programming language like Python, Java, and C language which is related to placements like computer network, database management system, and computer architecture.

Absolutely dissatisfied because of no placements but really good infrastructure and faculty.

Placements: 0% of students were placed in my course No companies visit our campus for placement of BCA graduates. But Top MNC's do come for MCA graduates. 100% students got internship in companies like TechPro Labs (software and robotics companies from Patna itself) As there were no placements and students have to get placed themselves the top roles would no longer be valid.

Infrastructure: No Mobile Phones are allowed in our campus. If anybody catches you, you'll be fined and suspended for a week. Labs are well-equipped and updated. With AC's installed in the labs, it's good to do lab. Library is well maintained but many of the books are not allowed for issue which I don't why. As a BCA graduate you won't be allowed to even go to library in the free period which is wrong. Hostels are good but the strictness is hostel is more than one should get. You will not be allowed to take out your phone and use. You'll just be given one hour to use your phone. There are many cultural activities within the campus in which hosteliers are supposed to participate compulsorily. Quality of food is so, canteen has not much to serve. Medical facility is okay. There are number of sports and games opportunities in the campus but as a BCA graduate you are just allowed to study and do nothing.

Faculty: Teachers are helpful, qualified and knowledgeable but the teaching quality can be improved by asking questions which are not direct. Focusing on understanding the theory rather than just asking easy questions which does not make any use of brain. I don't think with my personal experience that for any average student the semester exams would be difficult. The pass percentage is 40% The course curriculum is relevant enough.

Highly reputed college which can make you proud in society.

Placements: Very few companies come here for placements. However students of this college are placed in good companies like Infosys, wipro, tcs using off campus placement. Faculty members personally recommend so many companies and keep you updated about off campus placements to get you a reputed job.

Infrastructure: The infratech is great here. Computer labs have hitech computers and Wi-Fi too. The labs are fully airconditioned and there are multiple labs for each year students. College also has a well maintained hostel and students get nutritious food there. Hostel have warden who keep you disciplined.

Faculty: There are very qualified teachers here. They are highly experienced and knowledgeable. This course is very relevant as computer students can never be out of date. The semester exams are not much difficult. Average students can also secure good marks. Students to this college get the highest number of medals in whole Patna university.

Other: I chose this course because I always wanted to work in IT industry and I have a love for computers. The only thing I want to improve in this college is some relaxation in rules and regulations. Many events like sports day, Vigyan utsav, college day, guest lectures, shravani mahotsav, holi Milan, Christmas day and many more events are organised in campus accordingly.

There are better college available outside Bihar for the fee charges paid here.

Placements: In this college, recruiting companies are Wipro, TCS, and Kealabs. Students get satisfied internship previous year's. Aztech is a company that gives internships to students. But college gives very little time of 45 days. On this date, students can't learn anything new. So students have to do everything fast and with deadlines.

Infrastructure: Food is not good in the hostel. Sometimes on weekly basis, it is good but not all day. Sport can be better. Medical facilities are up to mark, but can do better. College has very good infrastructure. Students can be easily impressed, and laboratories are also good.

Faculty: In this college, the pass percentage is below 35%. Exams are on a medium level. Sometimes it gets tough than it should, and exam is on regular basis. So students don't get much time to study. Leading in not good marks sometimes. Overall it is good. Surroundings are competitive which is good for any student.

Our university provides a canteen, medical facilities, sports and lots of games.

Faculty: In our university, professors are well-qualified and friendly with students. They teach effectively for all the students who attend the lecture. The university syllabus is updated from time to time, and students are allowed to do the project alone to understand the quality of teachers.

Other: In our university, I have chosen this course because a bachelor of computer science is the best. I like to learn machine language and time to time updates.
