No takers for 58k vacant seats in PPU, 950 in PU
Patna: Even though the process of admission in the current academic session (2025-26) is almost over in different degree collages of Patna University and Patliputra University, a considerable number of sanctioned seats remained vacant in these colleges. PU students' welfare dean Anil Kumar said, "Nearly 950 of the total sanctioned 4,531 seats in arts, science and commerce streams, are vacant even after the end of the spot round of admissions. Finally, the university has allowed the principals of all these colleges to admit students against vacant seats on their own." Even the colleges could not fill their sanctioned seats in popular courses running under self-financed scheme. These courses include functional English (Patna College and B N College), BCA (B N College, Patna Science College, Magadh Mahila College, and Directorate of Distance Education), BBA (Patna College, B N College, Magadh Mahila College), biotechnology (Patna Science College and B N College), mass communications (Patna College), environmental science (Patna Science College) and social work (Magadh Mahila College). by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Libas Purple Days Sale Libas Undo "In Patliputra University (PPU), about half of the sanctioned seats are vacant even after three rounds of admissions. There are 1.20 lakh sanctioned seats in undergraduate courses in different constituent and affiliated colleges of PPU, but only about 62,000 students have been admitted against these seats so far," said PPU students' welfare dean Rajeev Ranjan. When asked about the reason of seats remaining vacant in different honours subjects in PU colleges, Patna Science College's former principal S N Guha said that all subjects taught in colleges and universities are not equally popular. "All the seats in some more popular subjects are occupied immediately after the release of merit list, but the seats in less popular subjects are not occupied even after the three or four rounds of admission," he said. PU dean pointed out that most of the vacant seats have been reported in the subjects like Arabic, Persian, Bengali and Maithili. "The university can't compel one to study any particular subject and, hence, the seats in some subjects will remain vacant," he added.

Commuters celebrate ease of travelling on new double-decker flyover on Ashok Rajpath
Patna: City's long-snarled Ashok Rajpath is finally breathing easy. With the inauguration of the much-awaited double-decker flyover, one of the city's busiest and most congested stretches has witnessed a dramatic transformation. Once synonymous with bumper-to-bumper traffic and blaring horns, the arterial road — connecting key educational institutions, hospitals, markets, and residential pockets — is now seeing smoother rides, shorter travel times, and happier commuters. From e-rickshaw drivers and fruit sellers to students and shopkeepers, the city's residents are hailing the new flyover as a game changer in the city's daily life and mobility. Pintu Yadav, an e-rickshaw driver, said, "I have been driving an e-rickshaw for more than three years, apart from Sundays, there was not a single day that I travelled without facing any congestion. For a single trip from Kargil Chowk to Mahendru, it took more than 45 minutes, and so I used to make only three round trips throughout the day. Besides, the vehicle got discharged. But today, I covered the stretch in only 15 minutes. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Classic Solitaire , Built for Desktop Play Solitaire Download Undo I can take more trips, get more passengers, and earn more money." An owner of a general store, Mohd Raju, said the goods vehicle reached on time and left after delivering the items without causing any congestion or problems for commuters. "There is enough space under the flyover for parking. The new structure is good from a business perspective," he said. Moh Islam, a fruit seller at Sabzibagh, said, "When people used to stop their cars to buy fruits, it would cause a traffic jam, but now that's not the case. People can now shop comfortably without facing any traffic jams and the noise of horns." Youths, especially students, are more elated by the opening of the flyover as several colleges of Patna University, NIT-Patna, many reputed schools, libraries, and hostels and lodges are on this route. Akansha, a student of BN College, said she lives in Patna City and now travelling has become easier for her after the opening of tier-1, which is between Patna College and BN College. "From PMCH to Bishop House, there is often a traffic jam. Now, I can avoid this and reach the college on time. Earlier, I had to leave the house early, but now 20 minutes are enough to reach the college," she said. "I am a student of Patna College and have lived near Khazanchi Road for two years. Every day I faced traffic snarls. The situation today was completely different. There was no unnecessary honking and congestion. I have seen that people are easily reaching PMCH without any trouble," said Raman Agarwal, a student.

Nitish Kumar Inaugurates Bihar's First Double-Decker Flyover In Patna
Patna: In a major boost to Bihar's urban infrastructure, Chief Minister Nitish Kumar on Wednesday inaugurated the state's first double-decker flyover in Patna, built at a cost of Rs 422 crore. The structure, hailed as a landmark in the city's smart mobility mission, aims to ease traffic congestion and improve connectivity in the capital. Constructed along Ashoka Rajpath, the multi-tier flyover introduces a three-level traffic system -- the first of its kind in Bihar. Tier 1 (Lower Deck) includes a 1.45 km stretch from Patna College to BN College. Tier 2 (Upper Deck) has a 2.2 km corridor from Kargil Chowk to Shatabdi Dwar, passing Patna Science College. Ground Level Service Road is 90 per cent complete, providing additional support for surface traffic. The flyover links key urban nodes, including the Patna Metro Rail Project and JP Ganga Path, and is expected to significantly decongest high-traffic areas such as PMCH, Science College, and Patna University. It also facilitates smoother travel for commuters from the Mahatma Gandhi Setu, Kankarbagh, and nearby areas. Integrated with broader urban development plans, the corridor connects to Bakarganj, Nala Road, multi-level parking facilities, and vital institutions, benefitting students, medical professionals, traders, and daily commuters alike. Calling it "a confluence of technology, management, and aesthetics," Nitish Kumar said the project represents Bihar's evolving identity. "This is not just a bridge, but a vision. It will transform city commuting and serve as a model for urban infrastructure across the state," he said at the inauguration. The Kargil Chowk -- Science College stretch, in particular, is expected to revolutionize mobility in central Patna, reducing travel time and improving emergency response access in the vicinity of major hospitals and colleges. This landmark project marks a significant milestone in Patna's smart city journey and reflects Bihar's growing emphasis on modern, future-ready infrastructure.
