The faculty members try hard to give us proper and better education to secure our future.
Placements: In my class (UG 2), there are 72-78 students, where 125 seats were allotted. Microbiology, Molecular Biology, and Zoology play a significant role during recruitment. Instead of placement, our college is more focused on higher education, research, and study.
Infrastructure: Our department provides good infrastructure such as big classrooms with gallery system seating arrangements, AC in summer, a projector, and big screens. Feels like a movie theatre. I don't stay in a hostel, but I share now reviews like they provide a beautiful meal in a week, they arrange a transport system from the hostel to the campuses.
Faculty: The teachers are very helpful and friendly too, whenever we go to them, they treat us as their children and solve our problems sincerely. The exam questions are divided into theoretical, applied, and analytical. They assess us in many ways for smooth learning in the future.
Other: I chose Life Sciences as I have great interest in this since my 12th Standard, specifically Molecular Biology and some parts of physiology. I want the authorities to provide more equipment for the practical lab for students of all years.

Very satisfied with the course.
Placements: Since this is a general line, there is no possibility of direct placement from the college itself. So it is required to either study further or take competitive exams after graduation. That's the only way to get a job. But definitely the course is worth doing from this reputable institute, as that will be highlighted in the CV, and also it's easier to find the best quality internship after passing out from a college like Presidency, which is no less than a reward in itself.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure is pretty good, according to me. Labs are well-equipped, and experiments are performed using the right apparatus. Classrooms have the facilities of light, a fan, and air conditioning. There is a central library, and perhaps any book needed can be found there. Hostel facilities are decent with proper electricity and water. Food available in the mess and canteen can be relied upon, and hygiene is maintained. Medical facilities are also available when needed. Much importance is given to the co-curricular, and various kinds of programs and sports are held continuously to encourage students to participate.
Faculty: The teachers are highly qualified and have done their higher studies from various reputed institutes in India and foreign countries. Their quality of teaching is undoubtedly the best so far. The course is very relevant, and it makes us ready to face the competitive exams and gives an in-depth knowledge of the subject. The semester exams are standard enough, and students can pass if they attend classes regularly and follow the professor. The pass percentage is very high since the professors are very helpful and ready to take our doubts anytime.
Other: The subject that fascinates me and urges me to learn more is Biology. The best thing about this life sciences course is that we acquire knowledge of every part of the Biology subject, including Zoology, botany, microbiology, molecular Biology, and so on. There is no division of courses within Biology, which makes us learn every aspect of this subject. Events and fests are held from time to time, which help us to indulge in recreation and refresh our minds.

Faculty: Professors of this university are highly qualified and employ a unique teaching method. They use PPTs, provide study materials for the topics and the course, and help the students understand the concepts in a better way. Teachers are very helpful here. The course curriculum is according to the NEP and is relevant for the students in the current scenario. The semester exams are not so tough that the students will fail. The question papers are quite standardized but are not difficult.
Other: I chose history honors because I have loved this subject since my school days and the presidency has given me a great opportunity to learn more about this subject. Faculty is so good that it keeps the students engaged with different assignments and internal assessments. Fests here are the most memorable events in the lives of students.

Absolutely recommend this one.
Placements: Placements are absolutely based on your CGPA throughout your college years. Sometimes, placements are international for top-performing students. On average, 70% of students get placed, as 10% go for higher studies, and the remaining 20% try for outside placements.
Infrastructure: The hostel is extremely beautiful, but it is only for boys. There is no girls' hostel facility. Hygiene is maintained, and the environment is friendly among all types of students. There is no ragging at the extreme level seen in other colleges. Students are free to talk to their juniors.
Faculty: Teachers are extremely helpful. If you face any problems, there are mentors to help you out. Teaching is at a 4.5 level, but I recommend it as it is a home university. The exam patterns and marking schemes are much easier than in other universities.
Other: Economics honors is a very prestigious course studied at the Presidency. Elite people like Amartya Sen and Abhijit Vinayak have graduated from here. We are extremely proud of them and try to idolize them and reach that level.

The exact place you need to grow as an artist as well as a human being.
Placements: Most of the students from my batch will be pursuing master's degrees here, so they didn't go for a full-time job right now including me but we got job offers ranging from 3 LPA-4 LPA. The top recruiting companies are SVF and KCC by Emami Group. Almost 100% of students got internships from this course at KCC. Top roles offered are arts manager, instructor, and professor after completing masters' and post-doctorate.
Infrastructure: We have our lecture theatre with two portable ACs, sound systems, and a projector for a comfortable and engaging learning experience for the students. We have our practical room at the Black Box Theatre, and all the instruments are available there guitar, tabla, keyboard, etc. We have our dance studio where the dance students as well as the theatre students practice their arts and the library contains all the necessary books for the course. The hostel is big, there's a huge football ground, the food is healthy and hygienic and it's near Calcutta Medical College for any kind of emergencies.
Faculty: The professors are engaging and helpful both with practicals and theories. The curriculum is versatile and relevant for getting into the world of performing arts as a working professional be it a performer or an academician. Semester exams are not that hard if class notes are followed correctly. The pass rate is above 95%.
Other: I'm a musician and wanted to be a musician before joining this course, I'd say if you're signing up for this be ready and open to learn because this course teaches it all, and if you want to be a true artist then all this knowledge will be really helpful to make you grow not just an artist but as an individual, both skillful and personally. We have some huge fests every year and as an artist, it's a huge platform to showcase your talents in front of a large audience on the campus and also from outside.
