The admission process during my time wasn't much of a task due to covid. We were given admission based on our academic performance in the 10 th and 12th standard. After the list of selected candidates got out, we were asked to visit the campus for verification process.

Eligibility - 12th pass (75% above) Should have successfully cleared the PUBDET EXAM (conducted by WBJEE) On the basis of the Merit in +2 and PUBDET marks the admission will be done . ADMISSION DETAILS- Can be found in the university website, BE AWARE OF THE DATES , presidency usually takes the application for PUBDET early on in the month of January so make sure to check the university website regularly for any updates . PUBDET ADVICE- THE EXAMINATION IS TOUGH ! not to set you off but PUBDET is tough , One must be used to the questions asked in WBJEE , and must have knowledge about the basic stuff really really well (Like REALLY WELL) . DO NOT TAKE IT LIGHTLY , i took the PUBDET lightly and almost did not qualify . So beware .

To be eligible to apply for the said course one must have obtained a minimum of 70%/7.4 CGPA during their entire Bachelor's program in any field of Life Sciences/ Biotechnology. Further one needs to appear for the PUMDET examination and meet the cut-off score. Students who are past students of Presidency University (PU) Life Sciences department need not take the exam and are ranked seperately and selected beforehand. Usually the number of seats for non-PU students varies from 15-25. On can find more information on tentative dates of examination and application submition on the official PUMDET website maintained by the WBJEEB board. The exam occurs once annually and is moderately difficult. Being a student if Biochemistry attempting the questions from Zoology (a major fraction) and Ecology questions seemed tough. Do go through the BSc Life Sciences syllabus amd prepare yourself accordingly. As far as improvements are concerned, the WBJEEB can try to hasten up the admission a bit.
The admission procedure followed at Presidency University for Post Graduation is through the entrance examination. As per the government of West Bengal, 60% of seats are reserved for internal students. The rest of the seats are open to all students.
Departments like Political Science, English, History, and Physics conduct separate admission examinations. But for the finalized ranking, the examination scores and the aggregate percentage of board exams are taken and combined together.
Hindi and Philosophy departments consider the marks of the board examination. But, a final combination of the subject and the aggregate score is generally accepted to declare admission.
However, if you want to get further into the details about it, you can visit the webpage of the institute to run a check on how their admission process goes by and their subject-specific norms.
No, Presidency University (Kolkata) admission 2022 for BA (English) isn’t done. The admission notification and application form will be released around the first week of June 2022, tentatively.
