The course that I have taken a sociology, it is a very useful subject in my opinion since it is important to understand the social movements and social aspects of Indian society and also sociology has a connection to gender dynamics and how gender rows are portrayed, therefore it has relevance in the modern day life

A closer look at Presidency University.

4.5Helpful

Likes

The campus has 2 good libraries one for the students of Arts department like History, Political Science, Sociology etc and the other library is the Science library for the students from Science department like Maths , Physics , Biology Chemistry .
Our university is very inclusive where people from diverse background come to study. We have students from rural parts of West Bengal as well as the affluent parts of Kolkata and also many students from North Bengal region .

Dislikes

The students who live in Girls hostel and the Boys hostel which is the Eden Hindu Hostel have to face a lot of difficulties in terms of having access to bus and transport facilities and good and clean food in the message system .
Our university does not give a lot of importance to sports which I feel is very necessary since we have good players in Football and Volleyball. If the university arranges for adequate equipment and facilities our university team can do really well .

Course Curriculum Overview:

The course structure is according to the UGC syllabus in the Undergraduate level whereas the university has designed its own syllabus in the Post Graduate and in the PhD course work. The syllabus is diverse and covers various aspects of History including Indian history from the ancient times to the modern era . Westen European history till about the 20th century. We also have courses on Inter Faith relations , Global intellectual history and the History of Jewsish Community and so on .The syllabus is diverse and covers a lot of interesting and relevant topics .

The course of study is difficult to understand at times but with the amount of clarity given to us by the professors in the class, corresponding with the readings provided by them, it becomes very helpful to understand the subject better.

Immense punctuality during any events,technical issues and the dean of the students

Course Curriculum Overview:

Sociology as a subject always attracted me and I wanted to take up sociology for my higher studies since school.The curriculum teaches us to be knowledgeable about society and how to combat the evil forces which makes our society full of people with ill mindsets.My professors are amazing and knows how to make the subject more interesting.The semester exams is quite tough because we have to score good in mid sems otherwise our CGPA falls down

Dislikes

The number of Washrooms I believe should be increased

Course Curriculum Overview:

The course in Presidency is just a dream come true for every student who want to be into Academics. The only reason to choose this college was its curriculum and highly prestigious faculty and ambience of the 207 years old heritage building. I am fortunate that my college provides me with courses of Jewish History and Many other exciting themes to study and work with. There are regular CAs and IAs are conducted to check our performances and our professors train us to write good research articles and think innovatively through IAs by conducting it in a form of writing a research paper. Our college also conducts UG dissertation where we learn to write and think new research ideas and work with primary and secondary sources supervised by our professors.

How is Presidency University

Likes

Good and understanding faculty members very friendly and helpful
Availability of important books in the library required in the course

Dislikes

Excessive internal politics inside the department
Professor preferring some specific students in the department

Course Curriculum Overview:

The course curriculum is good and covers most of the topics of the course. Our faculty is very good they teach us very well and are well trained...also understand students problems..our faculties are well educated some are from Oxford University. One thing I want to bring into notice is that one semester is mainly of 6 months but every semester we hardly got only 4 months and exams are tough if you don't study and it's easy if you study.
