Students filling up their admission forms at BN College in Patna
PATNA:
Even as subjects like history, geography, economics, political science
and sociology may not be quite palatable for most students at the school
level, Patna University (PU) colleges witness an unprecedented rush of students seeking admission to the 3-year honours classes in these subjects.
History continues to be the most popular subject among admission seekers as all the seats for the subject in PU colleges are filled immediately after the admission process starts. "Its study helps students prepare for competitive exams," said B N College principal P K Poddar.
Other subjects popular among the B N College students are political science, economics, geography and sociology. Only students who are denied admission to these subjects opt for other subjects.

"I want to join history honours course either in Patna Women's College (PWC) or Magadh Mahila College as the subject has always fascinated me. By studying the subject in detail, I shall be able to know the glorious history and culture of our country," said Madhumita, who is awaiting her class XII examination result.
Geography happens to be the crowd puller in Patna College. "Of the 4,000 applicants for honours in different subjects, 2,000 are for geography alone," said Patna College teacher Randhir K Singh.
In PWC, girls are almost crazy for economics. Other popular subjects here are English, history, political science and sociology, said college teacher Shefali Roy.
Subjects like Hindi, Sanskrit, Urdu, Arabic, Bengali, Maithili, Persian and philosophy, however, have few takers. Quite a few of these departments have either been closed or are on the verge of closure for want of students.
A senior PU teacher of social science faculty said each of these languages should not be taught in all the colleges. For instance, if B N College teaches Bengali, Patna College should teach Maithili, he said.
