Answer 1

Well I would suggest your to go this way.

1- Don't use database name in when creating mongodburl ie

replace

var url ="mongodb://127.0.0.1:27017/college";

with

var url ="mongodb://127.0.0.1:27017/";

And now when you try to connect with mongodb server you'll get mongodb constructor in the callback function so you'll have to add one extra line of code. Something like below

 MongoClient.connect(url , function(err,dbC){
             if(err) throw err;
            var db = dbC.db("college");
             var q = querystring.parse(data).
             db.collection('res').insertOne(q,function(err,res){
                if(err) throw err;
                console.log("data is insert");
                db.close();
             });

         })

This way you'll get res collection defined for the database college (I am assuming you've already defined that collection in your database with some query like db.createCollection('res') ) and then it should work

Thanks
