Presidency College and its shenanigans with the prospect of academics and placements.
Placements: Our course does not provide placement, but we are generally offered internships from various NGOs and it further enhances the capacity to work in various conditions and situations. It helps in establishing an academic conditioning that helps in prospects.
Infrastructure: The art department is considered to be one of the best in the country. The infrastructure consists of labs, Wi-Fi, AC, classrooms, etc. The hostel is a Hindu hostel which is available for all the students of the university.
Faculty: Teachers are highly educated and specialized in the field. They are helpful, qualified, and knowledgeable. Teaching is very high compared to other universities. The course curriculum is relevant and makes us industry-ready. It also further helps us with the semesters. Overall knowledge results in appearing for this semester and the pass percentage is quite high.
Other: I chose the course because I found sociology interesting enough. The crowd and the campus life are quite high in Presidency as it consists of the heritage of the Presidency College, which was established in 1817.

Going to your dream college.
Placements: Placement opportunities around me are given for the science stream, where there are no such opportunities for the arts stream like sociology or political science. However, the placements offered are really great and helpful to students, as I have heard from my fellow seniors.
Infrastructure: Classroom and library facilities are just beyond expectations; they are extremely well managed, and well organize and help us learn and study in a very active way. The food available in the canteen is also go-in while prepared but a few are very oily, like a roll and a chicken roll.
Faculty: For faculty, members are very good and highly qualified. The teaching skills are extremely well organized and provide a lot of in-depth knowledge, which is enriching for students. The semester exams are moderately difficult; however, last-minute preparations wouldn't help score an SGPA of more than grade C or B.
