Patna Women’s College has established a notable reputation for its placement services, which have evolved significantly since the college's inception in 1940. The college's Placement and Career Counselling Cell, formally inaugurated in 2010, has been instrumental in facilitating campus recruitment drives and providing students with essential pre-placement training. This cell has attracted a variety of multinational companies, including IBM, Wipro, TCS, Infosys, and others, to engage with students through recruitment events and workshops aimed at enhancing their employability skills.
In recent years, the placement statistics at PWC have shown a mixed performance across different programs. For the undergraduate (UG) programs in 2021, out of 1,299 students, 147 were successfully placed, yielding a median package of INR 5 LPA for those completing three-year courses. In contrast, postgraduate (PG) programs had a slightly varied outcome; the median packages ranged from INR 3.60 LPA to INR 5 LPA depending on the specific program duration. The placement trends indicate a gradual increase in placements for UG students from 2019 to 2021, while PG placements have exhibited some fluctuations during the same period.
Despite these achievements, student feedback suggests that the effectiveness of the placement cell can vary by department and individual experience. For instance, while many BCA students report successful placements in reputable companies, B. Com students have expressed concerns about limited job opportunities and the overall efficiency of the placement cell. Some alumni noted that many graduates choose to pursue higher education or prepare for competitive exams rather than entering the job market immediately after graduation.
The college's commitment to enhancing student employability is reflected in its continuous efforts to organize workshops and interactive sessions with industry experts. These initiatives aim to prepare students not only for interviews but also for adapting to corporate environments. Furthermore, PWC encourages internships across various fields such as HR management and finance, which help students gain practical experience and build professional networks.
Overall, while Patna Women’s College has made significant strides in its placement efforts, ongoing improvements are necessary to address the diverse needs of its student body and ensure that all graduates are well-prepared for their future careers. However, there is no authentic data available regarding the highest or average CTC that were being offered to the students in the latest placement drive at PWC.
