The Department of Education, Patna Women’s College (Autonomous), encourages research through Students’ Research Projects (SRP), teacher-guided studies, departmental paper presentations and academic publications. In student research projects, trainee teachers work under the supervision of faculty members, who are recognised as co-authors when the work is published. The bibliographic details below follow the author names supplied by the respective journals. Research articles are listed separately from projects and presentations that have not been independently verified as published.

The entries below cover verified Education papers from 2020 onwards, followed by earlier examples. They are arranged in reverse chronological order.
