Our college is the best place to secure the future of students, and it has good facilities.

Placements: All the students from our course passed with good marks, and it is due to the help of teachers. The highest salary package offered is 1.7 LPA. Many roles such as a chemistry scientist and lab workers were offered to students in our course. About 80% of the students get internships in many companies which are related to the branch of chemistry. They include perfume companies and many other super glue companies.

Absolutely satisfied with this college, really good infrastructure & faculty members.

Placements: Honestly speaking there is no placements for BA/B.Sc Hons students. But in Statistics & Economics department there are placements cell. Although placement is not so good. But if you want to do higher studies then this is the best place for you. Many students from this college (university) pursuing their integrated Ph.D/ M.Sc. from institutes like TIFR, IITs, IISC, IISER etc.

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.

It was the best five years of my life at Presidency University.

The average salary package offered was 4.5 LPA. Summer internships were provided in Indian Statistical Institution.

Review of Presidency University, Kolkata.

Placements: The placement committee invites a few companies to our campus, and notable they are Deloitte, D E Shaw. However, most of the students opt to pursue Masters, so only a few students attend placements. The college doesn't have an internship cell. Everyone who attends the placements got placed in their respective choices.

Heritage College provides excellent education with a rich cultural awareness.

Placements: Students of science, mathematics and economics, social sciences and English departments are placed in well-established companies. Most years placement opportunities are high even though most opt for higher studies. English and social science departments also get opportunities in the HR department.

Satisfied with the overall learning we got from the course.

Placements: Placements is good as whoever wants a job gets placed. But mostly students go for post graduation and not opt for placements. Still the 10% batch who SAT for placements got placed. Roles offered varied from analyst to IT related roles as well. Deloitte and MU Sigma are some of the good companies which came for placements. Regarding internships, there is no as such compulsion to do an internship, however, one can always do something under college professors or get one from outside.

Good infrastructure and faculty, worth joining.

Placements: The placements were quite satisfactory. The average placements went around 4 Lacs. The highest placement was around 7-8 lacs. There is a placement cell in the college headed by a group of students which help the students to get placed. The companies which visited the campus were quite reputed ones.

Great university with total perfection in education, infrastructure, campus life and placements.

Placements: Presidency University doesn't offer placements for all the courses and subjects. Mostly, on-campus placements are conducted for the economics and the statistics departments. Students from both these departments get placed in recognised companies like HSBC, HP, Ernst & Young, etc. There's a separate dedicated cell in Presidency University to look after placements and other related issues. The highest salary package offered is 13 LPA. The average salary package offered is 5 LPA. Students were most...

This college is the best choice.

Placements: Since it is a college that offers general courses, placement numbers are not like other engineering colleges. However, studying in this college definitely matters if one is interested in higher studies like M.Sc and PhD. Almost 90% of my batchmates have cleared JAM exam and are studying M.Sc. in IITs. The rest of the students continue pursuing their M.Sc in the same University.

Overall the college is okay, but there are no placements.

Placements: Unfortunately, the college doesn't provide any good placements after graduation. Most of our seniors are doing M.Sc. or integrated PhD. I don't know there is any placement cell or not, but if there exists any placement cell, it is inactive. We apply for internships on our own.

We faced problems with some faculty members but overall it was good.

Placements: Most of the students after completing their graduation in history honours opted for a master degree in the same university or outside Kolkata. Some students shifted to other courses. But placements are quite good at Presidency University. People are well placed now in different cities, and some are pursuing higher studies in different cities.

Presidency University, legacy and heritage.

Placements: After the completion of B.A programme, many students joined other universities for Masters degree, whereas others got into jobs in media houses, banks and schools. The sciences department provides the best placements in many MNCs as well as in reputed institutions. The social sciences have provided a plethora of eminent academics, civil servants, journalists etc.

One of the best college in the country.

Placements: The placement cell of the college (which is now converted to university) is not that great. College rarely arrange direct placement with commercial companies. Some of the departments directly contact various companies and I have seen top companies like Telco, Infosys, Reliance and Cognizant to do direct recruitment from the college.
