Placements and Internships

1

  • The academics is top class, there is no placement or internship cell to take care of placements or internships. As after Master degree the students of this university are considered to do a Ph.D., the placement part is not taken care of. But like me, there are many students who find it very hard to get placed. There is a handful of key companies viz Mu-Sigma or HSBC who come for placements only for Economics students and they hire only 2-5 students at the max. So the placement part is very poor for this institution. I just hope as the university evolves into a top class university, the problem will be taken care of.

College Infrastructure and Hostel Facilities

  • The university has two good canteens with sufficient and good quality food. 
  • The infrastructure of the college is somewhat not good. Although Chemistry and several Biology labs have good facilities, the computer lab in Statistics dept. have computers of dual core processor with Windows XP and almost all of them had a virus. The computers are painstakingly slow. Free wi-fi is there for all students and the library is up to the standards.

Academics and Faculty

4.5

  • Although Presidency as a university got established in 2011, it is making progress towards a top class university in the world. With dynamic course structure keeping in mind of current research and topic that are happening it is rocketing towards one of the elite institutions in India and of the world. Due to the semester system, exams and assignments are there all over the year, although there is a lot of time to relax where a student can enjoy in outdoor games like cricket or football and indoor games like carom or table tennis. 70-80% faculties are Ph.D. and even some of them earned their Ph.D. degrees from universities in Europe or the US. This makes Presidency very rich in terms of faculty quality and academics.

Fees and Scholarships

3

  • There are no scholarships available for students in Presidency University, the tuition fee is somewhat too low to take a loan. The reason being that it is a government college. But scholarship based on performance and merit is a very good idea to inspire students to do good in their academics and bring out new ideas.

Clubs and Associations

3.5

  • The main attraction of the university is Milieu. It is a 4-day program with performances from both students and eminent artists and bands. Apart from Milieu, there are programs like ISPAT and ICON staged by two different student unions. Students play with colors during Holi and stage several other cultural events. Sports events also happen in Presidency University.
