About Maxford Teachers Training College
Patna is famous today as the high-pressure epicenter of Bihar’s competitive exam coaching industry, but its real roots lie in ancient scholarly traditions along the Ganga. Just away from the crowded lanes of central Patna, in Phulwari Sharif, Maxford Teachers Training College operates as a focused hub for training the state’s future school educators. If you want to avoid massive, impersonal multi-disciplinary universities, this compact campus offers a direct pathway into secondary and primary teaching careers.

You will need to physically attend theory lectures and the mandatory school internship sessions to be allowed to sit for final university examinations.
