My college is very good and has a great physics teacher, H.C Verma but now it is different.
Placements: Around 20% of students got placed in my course. Airtel, Idea, Hero, Bajaj, and Tata are the major companies that come and select students every year with good salaries. Students who are in 3rd year and 4 semester are eligible to get placements by this college. There are many companies like TCS and many more. The minimum salary pacakge offered is 5 LPA. Students who get 70% and more than that are getting placements.
Infrastructure: Infrastructure and facilities are good. Classrooms and lab facilities are available. There is a big central library, but it needs improvement. Hostel facilities provided by this college for boys and girls also at very least value of money.
Faculty: Exams are tough but their curriculum activities will help students in getting all-round development. My college has great faculty members like K. C. Sinha who taught us very well and also other teachers are qualified in their subjects. Quality of teaching is good for B.Sc. But it is not relevant for industrial purposes so no company visits this campus.

Oxford of the East and the top college of Bihar.
Placements: There were no placements in the IT department because. I have pursued a B.A. (hons) and there were minimal chances of placement because 80% of students are preparing for civil services exams and competitive exams. 30% students got internship from IIT colleges or NGOs like HHFC Trust in Patna, which is very helpful NGO in Patna. It is a blessing of God that we have an NGO like this.
Infrastructure: Our infrastructure is very good wi-fi is available on the whole campus of Patna University, and speed of internet is very good. Labs are also available and approximately two times in a week we are going to lab for practical. Classrooms are very big and perfect. The building was made after 1863 so all classrooms are big and comfortable for everybody. Many new digital classrooms are very nice like comfortable chair, digital boards, and many new things are added in that classrooms. One bad thing is that the mess is not available in hostel.
Faculty: Our teachers are very helpful and they have too much knowledge about our course. They teach all topics without any book and I like their teaching technique, the language that he delivers any topic. Topics are clear for maximum students. Our course curriculum is also good. Average students who read their books can easily pass in semester and those students who do not study one day will fail because our examinations are very hard. The questions are easy but there is no chance of cheating.
Other: I have chosen this course because I am interested in it. I know about this subject and course; that's why I choose this course. Three or five events are organised on our campus in a year. Fests are also organized on our campus and we are enjoying them. Campus crowd is average. Connectivity is very strong and in a few years, the metro will also be available to our campus. The campus surroundings are much better than any college in India because the college is located at the bank of the river (Maa Gangas). Scholarships are also available from state governments and central governments, approximately 12 thousand in a year and 36 thousand in 3 years. In extracurricular activities, sports, drama club, NCC, NSS, dance club, sports club, etc., are there.

A summary of my college, Magadh Mahila .
Placements: Several companies have participated in Patna University placement drives. Notable recruiters include: Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), which conducted a BPS Campus Recruitment drive in May 2021; Reliance Retail Limited, which participated in a placement drive in July 2021; and eClerx, which conducted a placement drive for MBA/BBA/M.Com/B.Com students.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure of the B.Com department is not so good, like we haven't got the smart classroom, and the teacher teaches us on the blackboard. Due to using a lot of chalk and dust, their hands have become rough and their skin damaged. Patna University provides hostel accommodation with essential amenities, including meals. There's an overview of the food quality, menu, hostel registration process, affordability, and information on localities for off-campus housing. Meal Inclusions: Hostel mess facilities offer both vegetarian and non-vegetarian options, providing three meals a day.
Faculty: The teachers are all very good and they focus on every student. The teaching quality of the teachers is very good and we understand everything easily. They set the moderate exam papers, which are not very hard to solve and not very easy to solve. Two semesters are conducted within a year.
Other: The B.Com (Bachelor of Commerce) degree provides foundation knowledge in commerce, finance, and accounting, which is essential for careers in business, banking, or professional courses like CA, CS, or CMA. The course offers a range of subjects, such as accounting, economics, business law, and taxation, allowing students to explore various career paths. Graduates can easily transition into postgraduate courses like M.Com, MBA, or professional certification.
