Presidency University, Kolkata Reviews on Infrastructure, Campus, Placement, Facilities & Faculty

The central library is well-equipped with an e-learning center dedicated completely. Books for UG courses are available in the library. The hostel is accommodative. However, the hostel canteen is out of service while there are two college canteens serving food at subsidised rates.

Faculty members are the main problem in our college. Although most of them are qualified and teaching quality is superb, they are not student-friendly in any way. The course curriculum is quite relevant but does not make us industry-ready. Passing is an ordeal. Faculty members will always find ways to award you the lowest marks possible. While a majority do manage to pass, the marks they get are on the lower side.

About 7 out of 25 students who appeared for placements were placed with a salary package of 5 LPA. Placement offers came from PriceWaterhouse and Earnst and Young. All students are placed in PWC as analysts. Since it is a Bachelor's course without any diploma, the only role offered is analyst role.

Campus life is enjoyable

Infrastructure is decent. Library is enormous .Canteens are not that good. Everything else is decent as well. Classrooms are equipped with all tools. Everything is well maintained for the most part in the campus.

Poor faculty and outdated course material. Quality of teaching is quite poor for most part. Real life applications are not discussed. Irreverent and outdated topics are taught. Notes given by teacher are given preference.

Poor placements. Most people didn't get any sort of placement and the people who did get a job were not satisfied with the job roles and companies. Very few companies came to campus in fact and hence the result.

Fees is low .

Campus life is good.

No

The College Infrastructure is very good. You need to know that the college is providing with all the necessary resources that you need to inorder to succeed in your Career.The Wifi is available in the whole Department Area where you will study not in every separate room so it might be little uncomfortable for you due to the range issues.All the Classrooms are neat,clean and hygienic.

The academics are well planned and designed for each and every course , be it the practicals or the theory part everything is well managed and systematically planned here at graphic era University,all over it is a fine place to study.

Campus Life is on average here actually if you are doing btech then you are stuck in 8 to 12 or 12 to 4 loop in this college I think it depends on you how you enjoy your college life so campus Life depends on you.

The college is value for money.

The campus life is great.

Nothing else.

Our university is recently renovated and thus added various new infrastructure. Classrooms are very well furnished, and the economics department has one computer laboratory dedicated to the students with research. The hostel is available for both boys and girls. The cost of accommodation is very minimal, the rent is near about 150-200 rupees with 1300-1600 food, electricity charges. The campus is safe.

The professors of our department are highly educated and most of them are alumni of our university. They are very cooperative, encouraging and they would be just like our friends. Our syllabus is based on UGC guidelines but there are few inclusions made by the authorities because it is one of the autonomous state universities. The semester examination pattern is the pattern. B.Sc. economics honors have 6 semesters in total. The marking system has both internal and end-semester examinations. The level of toughness is good, though if students concentrate in the classroom it won't cause many problems getting good marks.

The central placement cell of our university is not so active. Many departments offer placements after 2 years of master's course. For my department, after three years of Bachelor's degree, many coaching institutes and oil, cement and pharmaceutical companies offer jobs with low salary packages. The job profiles offered are not so attractive, but the jobs offered to master's students are attractive and also salary packages and others facilities are very good.

chemistry department of university is so good

This college has very good infrastructure along with many modern and well equipped labs. It has great campus with all the sports facilities like Badminton Court, TT room, football, basketball court, etc. Electricity facility is also very good here.

Course curriculum duly updated. Teachers little bit rude however the department also manage to set lectures by guest faculties from all over the world. All professors are well qualified and has harsh knowledge in their field.

Top recognized companies visits here like HSBC, Ernst, HP, Young, etc. Internships and industry projects are also provided on which students can work with faculty on research projects, offered in the final year only. Highest package- 12LPA Average package- 8 LPA Lowest package - 5 LPA

Placements are little bit disappointed

Infrastructure can be said as fairly good. This is because the the campus provides for healthy and sanitised surroundings and clean and safe drinking water. Classes are very neat and clean. Hence the infrastructure is good.

Academics is also fairly good as can be mone presidency served to be one of the top universities of its time. However, it's still as good in terms of producing students of high quality and calibre. Professors are very helping.

Presidency University is also known because of its good attachments with companies and other colleges. Hence, it provides for good placement facilities as well. This make it a good college in an all round sense.

We have great campus with all related facilities like library, computer lab, smart classes, playground , canteen and huge auditorium for any events and functions. we have lab facilities and also Bank Atm service near the college campus.

Faculty are so supportive in guiding us and always helps us in any problems and give kind advise for us to develop ourselves more over we the principal is the main reason behind all the good faculties.

college is tied up with so many companies like biocon, chipla, etc. and in college, they conduct various topics as value added course and helps the students to get into internship. Salary Package: 4 - 6 Lakhs

College has more or less all the facilities but requires proper servicing and updating. Wifi doesn't work all the time. Living space and food are average. More washrooms for girls should be installed.

I'm studying geography because I have always liked this subject. The curriculum is alright but i don't think it includes all the recent developments in the field. I'm not sure about whether the subject I'm studying makes one job ready because I want to stay in academic line.

I'm not sure about the college placements as I am still pursuing my bachelor's degree. But i don't think that my subject provides any placement. A student pursuing masters degree will be able to answer better.

My course cost Rs .2500 per year. I study in a government institution. So given that fact I'm getting my money's worth. But I would do prefer some more changes and modifications. Otherwise it is alright.

Too much involvement in politics and people involved in politics use their power to exploit fellow students. Professors and support staff are not necessarily the most helpful. Location is alright for me as I use the metro for my daily travel. I would rate 1 star.

My university has all the necessary infrastructure needed for the different deparments. The science departments get all the proper labs and equipment. There are large lecture rooms for joint courses like AECC,etc. The university has two large libraries. One for science and one for arts. There are two canteens as well. The whole campus is cleaned daily and all the labs and euipment are well mentained. Students also get access to wifi and medical assistance if needed.

I am studying B.A. Sociology honours. The sociology department of our university is one of the best in West Bengal. All our professors are highly qualified and are very helpful. Our department follows the curriculum that is set by the UGC and is updated as per their instructions. The sociology undergraduate course deals a lot with the theoretical part of the subject along with the practical parts. The subject will make us job ready depending on the kind of job that we choose.

I am not sure of placements that happen from our university. I have heard that the placement system in our university is not very good, but I am not sure about that. So I cannot comment much on what actually happens with placements in our uuniversity

The sociology course costs about ₹1100 per semester. So I think that its completely value for money, considering the quality of teaching that our university provides.

Campus life is pretty nice in our university. The students are friendly, students can play music, sing songs and play different sports in the campus. We get a Table Tennis and carrom room, a big playing field, a large courtyard where students can hang out when classes are over. The campus is completely safe and the gates are looked after by groups of securtiy guards.

The University infrastructure is definitely very well maintained. The new buildings Baker, Derozio and Netaji Subhash are fully modern. ACs have been provided to a few départements. Chemistry department being one of them. The old Presidency Building is also well maintained although the lack of AC gives rise to a few complaints especially during the summers. Smart boards are provided to every department. Food in the canteen is made following strictest hygiene. Lack of hostel rooms is an issue.

I am currently studying Chemistry hons. due to my love for the subject and Presidency's long standing history of providing gifted chemists. Our university boasts of having the oldest chemistry department in the country. Although the quality of teaching has fallen a bit over the years but the standards are still way higher than many a college's. Our HOD believes in practical knowledge before theoretical so we get enough lab time. Making us well equipped for the future.

The Placement Cell has been defunct for a while now. Although Presidency University has a great repute among colleges, it isn't enough to attract big companies. Most students look to pursue master's in IITs.

Being a Government college. Value for money is the biggest plus of Presidency University. Even the students coming from the poorest of families can pay the fees very comfortably. Such quality of education at this low cost is what other Universities should also strive for.

The beauty of college campus is known to whole city. As evening comes, music and songs fill the air of Presidency. Table Tennis, Badminton, Carrom, all kinds of sports keep the students busy. Although most students are very helpful, some stick out like a sour thumb. The location just by the medical college makes it a very safe place to be. It's located at the world's largest second hand book market so books are always found nearby.

I am in my first year in this college, and I have seen the most major event of Presi that is the Student Union Elections. My stay at Presi has been very pleasant. This University has helped me find my love for Table Tennis. Taught me to compassionate and taught me that the educated need to think more about world politics. The Three Ps of Presidency are Prem, Porasuna, Politics(Love, studies, politics) and till now I have been able to do all simultaneously :)
