PATNA: The 18th Patna Book Fair is drawing thousands of students aspiring to write various competitive examinations, like IIT-JEE, MBA, CAT and pre-medical tests.
"I want to know more about IIT-JEE examination. So I have come here for guidance, and also buy necessary books," a class X student of DPS, Anurag Vyas, told TOI.
A large number of students have visited the stall of Don Bosco Institute of Technology (Bangalore) here. "The students are inquiring about engineering courses offered by the institute. We are giving complete counselling to them," says DBIT's stall owner.
Students aspiring to be journalists are also flocking to stalls of different media academies at the fair premises. About 500 to 600 students visit our stall here daily and make inquiries about career in journalism," Sunita Rai, a senior counsellor at Advantage Media Academy's stall said.
Students aspiring to pursue MBA courses are also visiting the fair. A marketing executive at a preparatory coaching centre for MBA - IMS - told TOI: "More than 4000 students have so far visited our stall to make inquiries about different entrance examinations of MBA in just three days."
A second-year graduation student, Raushan Singh, had come from Nawada to visit the fair. "There is almost no coaching centre for CAT (Common Admission Test) in Nawada," he said.
Ashutosh Kumar of CareerGuru.com, an admission consultant, told TOI: "More than 3000 students have visited our stall in the past three days. We are providing information about different competitive examinations, institutes of engineering, management, medical and others."
A series of cultural events were organised on Monday. The day 4 started with a quiz competition `Dexter Quiz', which was based on general knowledge. Another quiz competition `Siesta-Fiesta' was suspended. Several other programmes, including a singing competition `Talent Hunt' and programme on literature `Unki kahani meri jubani', were also organised.
