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.

Good faculty, really good infrastructure, best campus life.
Placements: There is a placement cell in the college, but it's not active on the level it should be. Very few of the students get placed, with the majority from Geology, Economics, and Statistics Departments. Internships are there on a more regular basis. A large number of students get internships from various companies such as Wipro and TCS.
Infrastructure: The Department of Mathematics is one of the best departments in the University, both from the academic and infrastructural side. We have a central AC system. There are 3 new generation computer labs. There are two smart lecture theatres for various seminars and classes. Each batch has separate classrooms. High-speed Wi-Fi is provided throughout the campus. There is a separate seminar library in the department with all necessary books and materials. Other than that, there is a Central Library of the University with an abundance of books and also an Arts library for those who love literature.
Faculty: The teachers are helpful, more than qualified, and knowledgeable. Most professors have done their Ph.D. and post-doctorate from foreign universities. The teaching quality is very good, with each professor solving any problems when required. The course curriculum is designed in a way that students get a good knowledge of whether they want to pursue research or even if they want to go into applied fields. It also makes the students ready for various competitive exams. Semester exams are a bit difficult to make the students ready for the future, but consistent study makes it easy.
Other: If you want a good campus life along with studies, you need to choose Presidency. It is one of the best colleges in Asia. There are hostels for both girls and boys.
