Presidency University Kolkata Reviews on Placements, Faculty and Facilities

It is one of the most renowned institutions in the country. Also, it is an autonomous institution. The faculty of the Humanities section in Presidency University is excellent. I opted for Political Science because I am aspiring for civil services in the future.

It's a two hundred year old, prestigious university. The faculty seemed great, and my interest was research. So it all fell into place. I liked the ambience, small batch factor, and great amenities they provided.

It is a Prestigious University (More than 200 Years Old). It is close to my Residence. The course was interesting. I liked the place. The University is very clean and sophisticated. The University has Excellent libraries.

It's one the best Universities in West Bengal. It's a government institute and I got the course I needed. The campus is amazing and full of vibrant people. The professors and the authorities are great as well.

Well, Presidency University (Erstwhile Hindoo College) is the oldest and one of the very first colleges to be established in India and is over 200 years old. Now a university, Presidency's allumni includes the two nobel laureates Amartya Sen and Abhijit Banerjee, the famed critic Gayatri Chakraborty Spivak while also being the alma mater to hallmarked names such as Henry Louis Vivian Derozio and others. Thus Presidency's famed English department had always been a dream seat to me and I'm humbled that I have got to study here.

Apart from the lack of placement facilities, Presidency University is one of the best choices for students who want to pursue higher education in terms of quality and feasibility.

It was once an abode of educational excellenc, but as it became an universit, it started deteriorating and the final nail in the coffin was hammered by our current vice chancellor, by implementing a draconian set of rules.

The management was in a disarray at the time I was in the institution because it was a transition phase for Presidency as an institution from being a college to a university. It was a period of turmoil which I hope the present administration has sorted out.

The University has a wonderful vibe and energy which is well-suited for students to study and interact with. However, student politics is also very strong with 3 leading parties struggling for power. The students will be put under no pressure to participate in such activities against their will. The authority is well-functioning but there is a lot of scope for improvement. All in all, the university provides a great space for students from all cultures and economic backgrounds to come together and study in.
