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

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 :)
