One of the best colleges in Kolkata, West Bengal. Fantastic faculty infrastructure and facilities.

Placements: It's one of the most prestigious, history-rich colleges in West Bengal. Around 3 to 4 students every year from a batch of 30 to 40 get placed on campus. Most opt for higher studies in IITs and IISERs by taking the GATE and JAM exams. A large portion of our college gets accepted into them. As it's a reputed college, we get internships easily. Teaching institutions like Allen, Aakash, and PW offer good amounts of money to students with good CGPAs. As I have heard, TCS, HCL, and Infosys come here. ...

The best college ever I have been seen.

Placements: The department to which it belongs does not currently have a work unit, unlike other departments such as economics and statistics. Internship opportunities are not readily available for motivated and curious students due to a lack of faculty support. Although it is an autonomous institute, the situation is not as favorable as in other universities.

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.

Our college has good faculty members, and it is worth studying.

Placements: Placements are available for arts and science department students. I am a student of the English department, there is very little scope for placements. I do not have any idea about placements as my department does not offer placements.

Dissatisfied with the faculty and the overall facilities.

Placements: The department I belong to does not currently have a placement cell in place, unlike other departments such as economics and statistics. Opportunities for internships are not readily available to motivated and inquisitive students due to a lack of support from the professors.

Going to your dream college.

Placements: Placement opportunities around me are given for the science stream, where there are no such opportunities for the arts stream like sociology or political science. However, the placements offered are really great and helpful to students, as I have heard from my fellow seniors.

The college has good infrastructure, facilities, and a very good environment.

Placements: In the geography course, there were no placements. It was a regular masters's degree course and companies were not interested to recruit students of this course. It was not a technical course. After graduation, placements were offered from either an educational site or a company that recruits for teaching roles.

It is an amazing campus life but a hectic course.

Placements: 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.
