Review of Presidency University, Kolkata.

Placements: Approximately 80% of our course graduates have successfully secured placements in renowned companies such as HSBC, EY, KPMG and Capgemini, to name a few. The salary package ranges from impressive, with the highest offer of 8 LPA, to an average of around 6 LPA, with a minimum package of 5.5 LPA. Additionally, around 25% of students who applied for internships through the university landed valuable opportunities. Notably, roles include risk analyst and data analyst.

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.

This is a good institute.

Placements: Many students have gone to higher studies abroad. Many are placed in very renowned government jobs. After this university experience, you are one step closer to your dreams. There are lots of departments like economics, history, Bengali, Physics, Hindi, geology, and many more.

It is a well developed university.

Placements: Almost 40% of the students got placements. It is a well-developed university. Companies like TCS, Tesla, and Tata would take the students in their companies. The highest package offered was 7 LPA -9 LPA for the foreign students and any one can avail this and the lowest was 3 LPA -4 LPA.

What you must know about Presidency University, Kolkata before stepping in.

Placements: I joined Presidency University in 2018 in the department of Bengali for graduation. The placement cell of the university has been inactive for quite a long time now. I have not seen any company to come to our campus for placement. So the condition of the placement is very poor. So is the condition of getting internship from the course I am pursuing. Students can try themselves to get a part-time or full-time job. But it is very rare to see companies to come and recruit employees from our campus.

It is a good college for physics Hons with great faculty members and good infrastructure.

Placements: Physics is not a technical course, so there is no such placement in this course. However, it is the best course to go for higher studies. Students can get a chance to do their PhD from abroad.

Presidency University's present condition.

Placements: Only 2 out of 11 is placed. The IIT NEET coaching institute AAKASH took that. But all the students got an internship in other MNCs. Majority of students will go for M.Sc. after B.Sc. it is very difficult to get a job. But after M.Sc. The majority of students will get jobs in various MNC.

Our college used to be one of the bests, but now it just has a brand name.

Placements: Students from our university are well-placed. Reputed companies from all over the world visit our college for placements. Probabilities of placements are higher for M.Sc students as compared to B.Sc students. B. Ed students are also hired with average pay.

The review of Presidency University, Kolkata.

Placements: Placement drives are not organised especially for the students of arts allied courses. The placement cell is not active. However, there are placement options available for certain applied science courses. Since there is a great impetus on academics, placements have never been a priority for our college, and it will remain so. The scenario is the same for the internships.

Overall, a good college but lacks the maintenance of lab instruments.

Placements: None have tried for professional lines. All have decided to go for higher studies. Most of them have decided to take admission in the same college for higher studies, and few others are trying to get into other institutions that provide integrated courses.

The campus life is one to die for, but some of the faculty really have to step up the quality.

Placements: Presidency University being an arts and science university does not offer placements after post graduation except for the economics department. The economics department guarantees some sort of placements to its post-graduation students, but it is not at all at par compared to other universities as such.

Good University, advance syllabus, faculties are professional, nice infrastructure, no placement.

Placements: No campusing facility will be provided by the department. But if anybody wants to achieve something he/she needs to work on their own. The syllabus is much good, but you should do self-study. There are a certain number of students who get admission to eminent institutes like TIFR, IIT, CMI, ISI, IISC, IMSC, etc. but they cracked the exams with their own hard work, not with the help of the university.

Are you interested in Presidency University?

Placements: Presidency university offers Science and humanities subject. So, placements, directly from campus is a bit problematic. Though students from Physics, chemistry or biology field get jobs in private institutes like AKASH or Pathfinder. Students from Economics and statistics are selected in direct campusing of some BANKS. Apart from these, some media house take students from language departments. But percentage is very low. Students opt for research field more. The highest package is near about 13l...

One of the best brands of college in Kolkata but you'll have to set your own path!

Placements: We didn't really have a lot of placement options as most of the students opted for Masters. There weren't a lot of placement options. But, I think some private teaching institutes did visit the college but I wasn't interested. so I can't comment more. I did get an internship abroad when I was in my masters because I topped in the Bachelors from Presidency.

The college has good faculty and infrastructure.

Placements: Placements are not a regular phenomenon by the college. Few companies visit the campus for placements. Most of them look for content writers and offer similar job profiles. So, the students are left wanting for more. The college is more academic oriented. Many students join here intend to pursue a PhD in later years.
