The review of Presidency College.

Placements: The placement record in my college is average, with campus interviews conducted once every two years. Some students get placed in big companies like JSW Steels. In my course, 39% of students were placed. Students also got internships as participants in math, physics, and chemistry Olympiads.

Infrastructure: The college has an awesome infrastructure that gives it a vintage feel. Each department has its own library in addition to the general library. The classrooms are spacious, and wifi is available in the general library. The college also has good sports facilities and a good mess.

Faculty: The teachers are great mentors who guide us well. The courses in my college are valuable, and the seminars are really helpful in finding job prospects. Before each semester, there are three exams: an assessment test 1 (worth 40 marks), an assessment test 2 (also worth 40 marks), and a model exam (worth 75 marks).

A red palace, the Presidency College has third rank in NIRF all over India. It's a reputed college.

Placements: For getting admission in Presidency College, we want to get above 60%. For getting admission in my department, we want to score above 90%. There is not much placement and internship programs in the college, as well as theory. There are many scholarships in our college. By taking this course, we can go for Embassy, public administration, politics, etc.

Infrastructure: Our college infrastructure is very beautiful and very old. There is a spacious library, classrooms, and labs. There is no Wi-Fi. In the hostel, there are a lot of facilities. It's a government hostel, so there are not many facilities; however, there is a clean bathroom and mess. There is a room for four students, and each student has one cupboard, one cart, and one chair and table. It is very affordable.

Faculty: In college, teachers are very expert and experienced. They are very intelligent, and all teachers have a Ph.D. in their subjects. Our syllabus is very effective for the future, and it is very simple to get. Every six months, they conduct semester exams, and they are not very tough.

Other: The reason for choosing this course is that I am very interested in this course, and I can get this subject very easily. I also scored high marks in this subject. The only problem in college is that there are no arts functions, and no other festivals are celebrated, only Pongal. The college provides many more scholarships from the central and state government.

Review of Presidency College, Chennai.

Placements: Students with 55% marks in the 12th class are allowed for admission to the college. The highest salary package is 8 LPA and the lowest salary package offered is 5 LPA. Top roles for the course are college lecturer and school teacher. They have high priorities in the scientific field.

Infrastructure: Facilities are less in this college. Wi-Fi is not available. The canteen is not good. Bathroom facilities are not good. Labs are not well-maintained.

Faculty: Teachers are knowledgeable, but they are not helpful. As it is a government college, teachers are not responsible. They do not teach correctly. Exams are not conducted strictly. Semester exams are tough. The pass percentage is 40%.

Other: I chose this college because it is a government college with an affordable fee. Because of my family situation, I wanted to join a low-fee college, so I chose this college. Sports and games events are conducted once a year. Students are good at sports events.
