The faculty at Department of History is great and they helped me cultivate my analytical skills.
Social life at college was very lively. The fests and literary clubs gave me opportunities to socialize and hone my extra-curricular skills.

Dislikes

I think the infrastructure of the main campus can be updated even more.
More emphasis should be given on e-learning.

Course Curriculum Overview:

The curriculum is very detailed and covers different eras and events of Indian history and world history. The faculty-to-student ratio is quite healthy. There are regular lectures on a day-to-day basis with interactive sessions afterward. National and international conferences are held from time to time with renowned scholars invited. If one studies diligently throughout the terms, the exams are not difficult to pass.

Environment- The environment at Presidency is so good. There is greenery everywhere. And college is full of aesthetics.
Course Curriculum is quite good. It helps you shape in a better version of yourself.

Placement Experience:

Placements opportunity are actually very good in this college. For UG-courses, students are eligible from the 5th semester and for PG courses, from the 3rd semester onwards, they are eligible for on-campus placements. Many good companies visit campus. All the details are available on the website. The placement cell is very active and ensures a higher number of placements.

Course Curriculum Overview:

I choose the course of Life Science since I was always interested in studying Biology and since after 12 I did not have a very clear idea about each sub-discipline of biology hence I didn't want to choose to do BSc in any particular discipline of biology. This course is very well-balanced and packed. For those who have a goal or interest in R&D and research-oriented life in biology, this course is a golden opportunity. The student-faculty ratio is moderate. Initially, it might seem a bit high but since many students leave for getting into medical college or somewhere else, the ratio lowers and it's pretty okay. The faculty of Life Science dept. is highly qualified and experienced in their own particular sub-disciplines. All our professors have done their Ph.D. from great universities in our country and outside (US, Korea, Japan, etc.) Their teaching method is very research-oriented and proper guidance is provided by our professors at every step of our course. Exams involve mid sem & endsem per sem

Why Presidency is still the BEST University :)

4.3Helpful

Course Curriculum Overview:

I chose the course because I loved literature from childhood, and I enjoyed the subject throughout my academic years. The Department of English at Presidency University is small, there are 11 profs (5 male and 6 female), and most of them are highly educated and hold P.hd degrees. Most of them are active members of different academic boards. 2 of the profs (Sumit Chakraborty and Shanta Dutta) are "Professor", and one (Purna Banerjee) is an "Associate Professor" and they have assisted many scholars in their P.hd courses as a guide. The faculty is very liberal and for UG-1/2 there are special tutorial classes that are held by them to provide them extra academic care and help. The teachers are mostly nice and they help academically, mentally and even financially. The internal and end semesters are very timely and they run according to the official academic calendar. The classes are regular and discipline is highly regulated. The question level is medium and one can easily pass if the student attends classes.

Course Curriculum Overview:

I opted for MA in English because I'm a literature fanatic. At Presidency University, I got an opportunity to broaden my horizon on this subject with the help of my accommodating and intellectual professors. Our Professors are exceedingly qualified individuals and endeavor to impart to us knowledge and understanding. We had group discussions and presentations which also enabled us to develop friendly relationships with our professors and classmates. We had our semester exams every six months.

Placement Experience:

Companies start recruiting students when they are in their third semester. However, every company demand the students to complete the degree and then join the job. Companies that visited the English department are Waterpump company modelled at Alipore, hiring for marketing, editorial work offering pay of 3LPA, Cognizant hiring for technical writer offering pay of 4 LPA, Adrosonic hiring for content writing offering pay of 4.5 LPA. Azim Premji foundation hiring for Associate, offering a payment of 5 LPA. The majority of the students go for government jobs like UPSC, WBCS, PSC, SSC CLG, higher education or to pursue a PhD from top-notch universities abroad and in India. 60 per cent of students sit for placements and bag all the opportunities. I belong to the majority of the students who aspire to stay in the field of academia. The curriculum of the university developed a passion for learning, imbibing and further research for scholars to come up with research, my plan is to be an educator.

Course Curriculum Overview:

I choose this of BA in Sociology course as this course curriculum is pretty good for civil services exams and I am quite passionate about the subject. The faculty students ratio is 1:5 approximately. The faculties are very much qualified with most teachers having a minimum PhD and a good teaching experience in the subject. There are semester exams every 6 months and also mid term tests which are conducted every 3 months.

Presi reminiscence

3.8Helpful

Course Curriculum Overview:

I had a knack for Biology. Tried for Medical entrance, didn't make it. So, took the entrance exams of Zoology and Botany at Presidency College. In Zoology, I was behind in the merit list, didn't make it up to the cut. Ended up with Botany. Student to faculty ratio was 1:2, for 26 students in a batch, the Botany department(now Biological Science) had 13 faculty. Obviously, not all faculty took classes simultaneously in a year. Most of the faculty was old school, chalk-blackboard oriented. It changed dramatically in five years I studied till Masters, as Presidency became University. Teachers retired, new foreign return faculty were recruited. Bachelor exams were difficult. Since bachelor in Presidency was under Univerisity of Calcutta, and marks were hard to get. These two changed after college became deemed university. I was there during the transition of the institute, it might look confusing now.
