Until January 1952, the college was a government college and it functioned as an independent unit, but later it became an implied college of Patna University and became responsible only for Undergraduate studies due to the shifting of the burden of Post-graduate learning on University. After the centralization of two years of special honours-teaching, the honours of all art subjects remained in this college. Honours teaching was carried out by the nominated teachers of the Faculty of Arts from all the colleges of the university. In the first two hours, the students of Arts of Honors classes, of other colleges also used to come to study in this college. </p><p>But due to the gradual increase in the number of students, up to the end of the eighth decade, honours classes of various art courses were conducted in their respective colleges. </p><p>In 1957, all but the Geography, Sociology and Psychology post-graduate departments were shifted to Darbhanga House. However many teachers of Patna College still have been bearing the responsibility of postgraduate education by attending the departments in Darbhanga House. </p><p>There is hardly any change in post-operative activities. Maximum old councils, clubs as well as hostels are still under the Principal of the college. </p><p>On 9 September 1974, the Economics department was split from the Patna College and it took form into <a href="/wiki/Vanijya_Mahavidyala" title="Vanijya Mahavidyala">Vanijya Mahavidyala</a>. Presently <a href="/wiki/Vanijya_Mahavidyala" title="Vanijya Mahavidyala">Vanijya Mahavidyala</a> is in the college's yard itself. </p><p>Patna College is the first college in Bihar that celebrated the centenary ceremony in 1963 itself. </p><p>The college is also associated with <a href="/wiki/E._M._Forster" title="E. M. Forster">E. M. Forster</a>'s novel, <a href="/wiki/A_Passage_to_India" title="A Passage to India">A Passage to India</a>. According to Adwaita P.
