Patna College, a renowned government institution in Patna, Bihar, is known for its mass communication studies. Admission involves a written entrance exam followed by an interview. The college has a qualified faculty, though many are guest teachers with low salaries, and departments often have only 2-3 teachers. Regular course fees include an admission fee of 15,000 INR and 1,500 INR per semester, with a 25% annual increase. A Bachelor in Mass Communication costs 75,000 INR for a three-year course.
Vocational courses are more expensive, and the fee structure is unclear due to additional charges. Scholarships are available, but the process is difficult, as is obtaining loans, due to inadequate support and coordination. There is no placement cell, leading to a lack of formal job opportunities. Students rely on personal networks for internships, with some help from teachers. The college offers a post-graduation scholarship of 25,000-30,000 INR for female students.
However, overall, the absence of a structured placement system and challenges in securing financial aid are notable issues.
