It is a best platform to complete you desire of education.
Placements: I have never attempted the placements, so I can't say anything about it. But the campus placement of Patna University is very good. Many companies come here and give the opportunity to the students to get their best out of them. Campus placements act as a motivation to the other students.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure of the college is very good. Being a distance education provider, all the facilities are available in the college, that are supposed to be in a regular course college. No one can feel the difference between the regular and distance college.
Faculty: The faculty members are very helping. There is a student teacher relationship built where every student can communicate and get their issues resolved. The distance education serves as a platform for us to complete our degree without attending regular college. I am proud to be a part of this college.
Other: The faculty are always a major part of the Patna University. It provides education to many students who are not able to have their regular courses as well as to those students who don't get good marks to go for the top colleges because of the high cut-offs. In a nutshell, I would like to say that it saves the dropping year of the students.

Other: College campus is good. It always organize class room facility. They help us at every problem. But college don't have co-ed facility. That’s why, student doesn't interact with girl, which is not quite helpful to those student who is quite slow with talking girls.

There are good faculty in this college. I think that is the best college in Patna.
Placements: 79% of the students were placed in my course. I also recommend this course for all of you who can trust this college. 70% of students got internships from college in so many big companies. One of the students got a package of 6 LPA and one got the highest package of 9.6 LPA.
Infrastructure: There is every type of facility available here. Like Wi-Fi, labs, clean classrooms, a library, 24-hour electricity, mineral water, etc. But the food quality is a little bit bad and I would not recommend buying food from the college canteen. Also, medical facilities are provided in my college.
Faculty: In this college, every teacher has more than 10 years of teaching experience. And the semester exams are a little bit hard but if you're a good student then it is very easy for you. For the average students, if they maintain their attendance regularly, they see improvements in their performance.
Other: I chose this course and college because this is one of the best colleges in Patna. And my elder brother also passed from this college so I trust this college.

Review of Directorate of Distance Education - Patna University.
Placements: There are many students with good knowledge and they got recruited by many companies. The highest package is Rs.80000 per month and the average is Rs.60000 per month and the lowest package is Rs.25000 per month. The top role offered is in teaching and some are a professor. Overall good college in Patna.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure is new and it is good. The campus stairs and lobby are covered with CCTV cameras to check on the students misbehaving. The campus is very big where students can play games like football, basketball, badminton, etc. They have the main gate security guard check student's ID cards.
Faculty: The faculty is the best they always gave us the right path and the right knowledge. They always give us the important notes for the university exam and give us the assignments and the assignments are always helpful for university exams and all the college information is given by text message like whatsapp, telegram, etc.
Other: I love teaching students and I want to do become a government teacher in a Governmental school.
