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.

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.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure is splendid with the recent renovations. Sports facilities available here are on par with national universities. Seamless Wi-Fi connectivity options to state-of-the-art research labs are available here. Presidency's libraries are well stocked and have books with rare contents. The vibrant campus and the liberal mindset of the management are the best aspects here.
Faculty: Presidency was counted as Jewel of Calcutta University in the past. Luminaries from all walks of life had their education here since 1814. The course and faculty are one of the best you can find in the state and eastern India. However, the college has its own challenges despite having the reputation of the government institutions. A lot of departments do not have an adequate number of faculty members. A lot of knowledgeable faculty members have left the campus due to politicisation between academicians.

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.
Infrastructure: Classrooms in the college are nice. Wi-Fi facility is provided on the campus. There are three canteens available here. There were some issues concerning hostels and students had protested. Now the VC has agreed to resolve the problem. Overall, the infrastructure is nice. It has now undergone full change.
Faculty: Faculty members were quite helpful. Course structure was a bit difficult, but we coped up with it. Faculty members used to give us notes which we used to study before exams. The notes actually helped us during exams. We were given notes of various topics. Except for a few faculty members, others were really nice.
Other: There are two main events and fests in the college. There is also college anniversary celebration held here.

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.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure of our college is quite old. Wi-Fi facility is available. The library is well-stocked with all kinds of books. The campus has plenty of space for sports activities and to organise events. Classrooms are air-conditioned.
Faculty: Faculty members are well qualified to teach the subjects. Most of them use modern ways of teaching who encourage students to be more interactive in the class. They give real-life examples to give us insight into real-life problems. Many of them have pursued their PhD from well-reputed universities and so are well versed in their field.
