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.

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.

Infrastructure: We have Wi-Fi, labs, and air-conditioned classrooms in our college. The central library is well-equipped with an e-learning center dedicated completely. Books for UG courses are available in the library. The hostel is accommodative. However, the hostel canteen is out of service while there are two college canteens serving food at subsidised rates.

Faculty: Faculty members are the main problem in our college. Although most of them are qualified and teaching quality is superb, they are not student-friendly in any way. The course curriculum is quite relevant but does not make us industry-ready. Passing is an ordeal. Faculty members will always find ways to award you the lowest marks possible. While a majority do manage to pass, the marks they get are on the lower side.

Other: The campus life is excellent with a lot of sports, fests, and events ongoing at any given time. The reason for choosing the course is personal and the best thing about this course is it allowed me to opt for any elective subject for the first and second years.

The economics department of our university is very good, it has 2 noble laureates as our alumni.

Placements: The placements after graduation are very rare from our department because most students from our department go for M.Sc from DSE, JNU, etc., they either enter into education sectors i.e schools, college or into the corporate sector after their masters. Our alumni network is very strong thus after completion of masters' students could have a good life ahead.

Infrastructure: Our university is recently renovated and thus added various new infrastructure. Classrooms are very well furnished, and the economics department has one computer laboratory dedicated to the students with research. The hostel is available for both boys and girls. The cost of accommodation is very minimal, the rent is near about 150-200 rupees with 1300-1600 food, electricity charges. The campus is safe.

Faculty: The professors of our department are highly educated and most of them are alumni of our university. They are very cooperative, encouraging and they would be just like our friends. Our syllabus is based on UGC guidelines but there are few inclusions made by the authorities because it is one of the autonomous state universities. The semester examination pattern is the pattern. B.Sc. economics honors have 6 semesters in total. The marking system has both internal and end-semester examinations. The level of toughness is good, though if students concentrate in the classroom it won't cause many problems getting good marks.

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.

Infrastructure: Our university has recently renovated after it completed its 200 years. Wi-Fi is provided for the students as well as for teachers. Separate libraries are available for science and arts' students. Medical facilities, badminton room and 2 cafeterias are also available.

Faculty: Faculty members are not as amazing as it used to be. Our department is understaffed, so teachers from our other colleges come as guest lecturers. They are knowledgeable, but they lack proper teaching skills. But few teachers have good teaching skills.

Review of Presidency University, Kolkata.

Placements: The placement committee invites a few companies to our campus, and notable they are Deloitte, D E Shaw. However, most of the students opt to pursue Masters, so only a few students attend placements. The college doesn't have an internship cell. Everyone who attends the placements got placed in their respective choices.

Infrastructure: It is one of the few colleges having the modern infrastructure the classrooms have state of the art teaching equipment. The entire campus is Wi-Fi enabled along with 3 central libraries for different streams encompassing thousands of books. The college has a common recreation room which houses a table tennis table and badminton court.

Faculty: The course is a blend of statistics and economics with a prime focus towards the latter. Along with this, a student has to mandatory choose 3 electives each year apart from the majors to facilitate continued knowledge propagation in various streams.
