Best days at Presidency University that has only ever helped me grow.
Placements: There is no placement after the B.Sc. Course. 70 percent students can bag an internship either from IAS or in other institutes. For the 4 year UG course internship is now mandatory and time is separately mapped out for the students to do internships without hampering course work. Workshops and seminar talks are held. Provides excellent guidance for cracking competitive exams required for M.Sc. Admissions such as GATE and JAM BT.
Infrastructure: Labs are well maintained and there's a good variety. Library has all the books required for the study. Wi-Fi facility is given for free to all students. Both boys and girl hostel are well furnished and they provide a bus for the girl hosteleers as well. Boys hostel is right Next to campus. 2 canteens with good food and affordable price. Sports of all sorts are very much encouraged.
Faculty: All the teachers are well qualified and knowledgeable. Excellent guidance from all faculty. Course curriculum is based for further research opportunities and getting into good institute later on. Semester exams are difficult but manageable. Best for student's intellectual growth.
Other: There's one grand fest called MILIEU Extra-curricular occurs regularly. Student's are free to participate. Several clubs are also there. Vivekananda scholarship available alongside the INSPIRE Scholarship.

Presidency has a historical legacy and is excellent now.
Placements: I am currently studying an undergraduate course in science (biology). The current scenario is that graduates from any discipline of science are not very employable. They get jobs after completing a minimum of a master's degree. Our college offers a master's programme. If you study a master's under the bachelor's programme, then there are fairly good chances to get admission to a master's programme because a fair number of admissions are reserved for the home quota in our college. A master's degree from Presidency is more valuable than a similar degree from most of the other colleges.
Infrastructure: Research facilities and infrastructure available in Presidency are among the best in Kolkata. The collection of books in the library is quite good. There is also a huge collection of old and rarely available books from the pre-independence era. Since our college has a heritage building and was constructed in the 1800s, there are some constraints on the facilities provided for us. Older buildings do not have spacious classrooms, but the classrooms in the newer buildings are quite spacious. Most of the classrooms have air-conditioners and all have good lighting and ventilation. Hostel facilities are not the best for students in terms of luxury or convenience. However, they are very affordable with a monthly cost of around Rs. 1,000, including food. The boys' hostel is adjacent to the campus, but the girls' hostel is far away. Free bus service to and from the girls' hostel is operated by the administration.
Faculty: Teaching faculty members and even non-teaching staff members are very helpful here. Presidency is one of the most reputed colleges in Kolkata and in the state of West Bengal and hence has excellent faculty members. This is the same case in most of the departments. The course curriculum of our subject is quite different from what is usually offered in other colleges. Instead of learning about a particular branch of biology (like zoology or botany), we take a holistic approach and study all the fields of the real world. This helps in developing a more fundamental understanding and finding out patterns that are common throughout the biosphere. We are also taught some basics about chemistry and physics, which is really important for biology but is neglected at most contemporary colleges. Our course is based on the biological sciences course of JNU, which was the first university to adopt a holistic biology programme instead of the specific sub-disciplines. But JNU does not offer an undergraduate programme. Very few colleges offer a B.Sc in biological sciences. Presidency is the only university in West Bengal that does so. If you are planning to study biology as an undergraduate, I suggest you choose biological sciences over any specialised sub-disciplines such as botany or physiology and opt for a specialisation afterward.

College days were the golden days of my life.
Placements: There is no such company recruitment in our course. But definitely, there are placement opportunities in future for PhD graduates or being a lecturer at some college. Moreover, internship opportunities were at a huge level, and our teachers helped a lot.
Infrastructure: Our college is now well-equipped with all the internet facilities such as Wi-Fi. The library is awesome and the best I have ever seen in any college. Moreover, the accessibility of the books was also well managed. Classrooms are definitely of old days carrying the great lineage with them a tradition being bestowed upon it.
Faculty: Faculty members in Presidency are the best. They are not only our teachers but our philosopher and friend. They not only dealt with our subjects but always used to welcome us gladly to sort our personal problems. They were best at their knowledge and also in delivering them. We never had to leave classes with any doubt in our mind.

A famous college in Kolkata.
Placements: There is no scope to be placed. It's not an engineering college. You had to go for higher studies. But some of my classmates got internships under our beloved professors.
Infrastructure: All the classroomss of our college areair-conditioned. Wi-Fi is available for each student with different user id. And two libraries are available. One is arts and the other one is science. And the library is so beautiful and all study books are available.
Faculty: Ye, our professors are well educated, helpful and knowledgeable. Their teaching quality is amazing. The semester exams in the college are quite difficult but there are many studious students in our classrooms who got full marks.

I'm not sure if Presidency offers Life Science as a course. As far as I know, B.Tech, BBA LL.B, B.Com LLB, and MBA are the only courses offered. Still, I'd like you to contact the admissions department for further assistance.
