    Academics

    Presidency University Kolkata is known world wide for its academics.The academics in one word is excellent.I am pursuing bsc in life sciences and we have highly qualified proffesors and researchers to guide us.The faculty to student ratio is well maintained.We have very diversed set of faculties and they are pursuing research on different fields providing students a vast exposure and the real flavour of the subject.

    College Infra

    Presidency University Kolkata offers a rich blend of historic heritage and modern infrastructure across its campuses.It has a new campus at New Town kolkata specifically foe biotechnology and Astrophysics research.The college infrastructure is moderate to good ,well sufficient for bsc and msc particularly.The labs are well equiped with sophisticated instruments and devices.Although some labs faces shortage pf microscope as the student load is also very high.The classrooms are air conditioned and spacious. We have two libraries one is for arts and another for science.Both the libraries are very enriched and contains multiple copies of the books.Some rare books are also available for the students to quench the thirst of knowledge of presi students. The campus is very clean and green the atmosphere is amazing and presi provides a vibrant campus life to their students. We have two canteens and the food provided is hygenic as well as tasty and not high priced.The food is very much affordable.

    Campus Life

    Provides a very vibrant campus life .The atmosphere in the university is very soothing and charming.The campus is green all round and the playground here provides a quick refreshment for sports enthusiastic students.

    Placements

    The Placements for B.Sc. Life Sciences at Presidency University Kolkata are primarily research-oriented, with most students opting for higher studies like M.Sc and Ph rather than direct corporate placements after graduation.The university curriculum and its teaching is heavily inclined toward cutting edge research and preparing students for CSIR NET, IITJAM,GAT-B and TIFR like exams . Direct corporate placements after bsc or msc is less.

    Value For Money

    Definetly value for money.The fees is very low and very much affordable. First Semester fees all including is 4500 only and later on tge semester fees is only about 2500. I am talking about the entire semester fees not per month.

    Academics

    I'm studying life sciences honours because this is the only college in kolkata that teaches all the fields of life science including botany, zoology, physiology biotechnology, biochemistry, biophysics, biostatistics, immunology and many more. You are required to a decent amount of everything till 4th Sem before choosing your specialised basket. This gets you almost ready for all kinds of competitive exams moving forward. Teachers put extra care in completion of due syllabus. I wish the semesters would be more regular and systematic though.

    College Infra

    Well equipped laboratories with ample amount of resources and equipments, fully furnished classrooms, libraries usually contain all the necessary books but the quantity needs to be increased tad bit...living spaces are pretty hygienic. The campus also has a well maintained playground.

    Campus Life

    One of the best campus life experiences in Kolkata. You have a gym, a huge playground with regular activities going on, immense amount of sport matches being held every year, a girls common room, 3 canteens, amazing ambience, the staffs are amiable, the professors are extremely helpful, and seniors are amazing.

    Placements

    Majority of students aim on moving forward with research and the college does not host designated placement drives as such but it provides enough preparation to appear for the competitive exams to become a researcher though.

    Value For Money

    We only put in 3-4k per semester for tuition fees, exam fees, laboratory fees, fest fees and everything....and we easily get a stunning campus life, quality education and regular practical classes.

    The infrastructure is good in respect for a college.Classes with proper ventilation and some class also has ac units as well .The whole campus is surrounded by various tress which make its a great environment to study in and people even stay hours after class ends enjoying there time with friends on the ground or in the cafeteria or in quad(student sitting area) The cafeterias are clean and the food is budget friendly for students. There are two libraries with one museum.The two libraries are well equipped with books research paper which helps us in our academics

    Campus Life

    It is overall a great experience. Engaging classes with professor. Tournaments on various sports where faculty participate besides students. Several enriching seminars , workshop. Events with various band performances and other artists coming and overall a memorable university experience which I could look back upon after graduation

    Placements

    Placements are pretty good .The University name itself is useful in getting good placement and the academic score also adds to it.Many of the my senior have gotten placement in IIT and even abroad aswell .

    Value For Money

    The fees I have to pay is nothing compared to the facilities I get in my university. Great professors with rich educational background and sometimes professor from abroad also take seminars and workshops to guide us in our academic journey. I am able access all the academic materials from libraries
