This place was also known for preparation of competitive exams at Sasaram Railway junction. According to earlier natives of this city, there was not proper electrification of city around 2007–2008 which hampered the studies of students seeking for competitive exams. Still Indian Railways had 24 hours power supply at Sasaram Junction. This led a small group of students to study there at night under electric lights.

However, the authorities have now banned study groups citing safety concerns.[2] this is biggest station rohtas,Buxar,bhojpur,kaimur district
