It can be difficult to get your hands on the previous year’s question paper of Patna University. Since the university takes back the question paper after the examination. However, you can get these question papers from the book shops situated opposite the university. There are also a few websites created by the students of the university where you can find the question papers.

A friend of mine graduated from Patna University. Here are some of the tips she shared from her experience at the university.

  • Try not to engage in elections. If you do, you will end up spending a lot of time preparing for lectures, and meetings. Which will affect your attendance as well as studies.

In Patna University you have to calculate the percentage from total marks you obtained in your honours. 

If you have four honours papers of 100 marks each and you have got 320 out of 400. Your percentage will be 80%.

In subsidiary papers you only need to pass as they are not included while calculating the percentage.

Every college has their own cut offs presented by them. The cut off marks tend to decrease with consecutive lists.

If you are a General category student 55-65 marks out of 100 would be enough to get you through. The reserved categories like OBC, SC or ST get a relaxation of 5-10%. Patna University also considers students from sports quota and other extra curricular achievements.

Patna University has better colleges compared to Patilputra University. Most colleges associated to Patilputra University don’t take regular classes. Often sessions are late at Patilputra University as well. At Patna University classes are regular. 

However, PPU colleges like A N College and College of Commerce are good and can be compared to Panta University colleges.
