    Very satisfying because of the faculty and good placements every year, along with really good infra.
    Placements: Above 60% of students were placed every year. The highest package is 12 LPA, and the lowest package is 4.6 LPA. Approximately, most students got internships from my course in many companies like TCS, Wipro, and so many others. In the past year, our seniors secured top roles like Software Developer, etc.
    Infrastructure: The infrastructure is very good, and the hostel is well-maintained. In my department, everything is organized properly, and the behavior of our staff is also good with us. Our hostel is very good and well-furnished. There is also a water purification facility, and the mess facility is available in a proper way.
    Faculty: The faculty members are very helpful and well-educated. The way of teaching is excellent. The course curriculum is very relevant and makes the students industry-ready. The semester examinations are not so difficult because our faculty team is very knowledgeable and has prepared us well. The minimum pass mark for us is 35%.
    Other: I chose this course because, from the beginning, I wanted to enter the IT sector. So, I decided to pursue this course. In my college, there are many events every month, such as annual sports, annual functions, etc. The total fee for my course is not so high due to it being a government college.

    College is very good.
    Placements: In our college, only 2% of students got placement and the highest package is 1 LPA and the lowest package is 60000. The top companies are coming to our college, like Guard and Maruti. Zero percent of students got internships from BN College. The top roles offered are manager and employee.
    Infrastructure: The facilities at our college are very poor because there is no perfect bathroom and no pure water for drinking. Yes, the hostel is good and the facilities are very good; they have proper facilities. Yes, every week we get one period of sports to play what we want.
    Faculty: They are very supportive and qualified, and they all prove they are the best teachers. They all know how to teach students and they are all very natural, and they give precious knowledge to their students. They are very good.
    Other: I had a dream late at night and decided to take BCA from BN College as a part-time course. Yes, every extracurricular event is held on campus.

    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.

    It is a very good college.
    Placements: Few placements are offered in this college. Placements were not good due to covid.
    Infrastructure: Girls' hostel is available. Hostel is very good for study purposes. The security facility is good in our hostel. Mess is average. The food served in the hostel is better. We are not allowed to cook in our hostel rooms.
    Faculty: Teachers complete our syllabus as per schedule. Our university is not supportive. Professors are very good and supportive. Every two months, we are preparing for exams, presentations, and assignments. We have to shift our hostel before our course is completed. We have to submit our projects and assignments in our department as per schedule. Around 75% of attendance is required in this college.
    Other: I opted for this course because of my interest in it.

    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.
