Faculty and lab facilities are very good. Placement is not so good (average).

Placements: The life sciences course is the proper way to crack the NET exam. The lowest package is 25k. The average is like 50k. Students can go further in forensic sciences. Some pharmaceutical or biotech companies give placements. 50% got a scholarship from the government. People who apply for an internship.

Infrastructure: The life sciences department has huge lab facilities. Students can do hands-on practicals. The hostel has bus facilities. Food quality and the room are okay. Classes have a blackboard and projectors. The life sciences department has its own sample collection.

Faculty: Teachers are very helpful. Semester exams are very standard. 2 semester exams in one year. 2 mid-semester or IAS per semester exam. The pass percentage is 40%. If someone attends the classes properly, then the semester exam is not hard for them. 75% attendance is mandatory.

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.

The semester exams may seem a bit difficult since you just got into new surroundings like college, but everything will help you to better yourself.

Best days at Presidency University that has only ever helped me grow.

Placements: There is no placement after the B.Sc. Course. 70 percent students can bag an internship either from IAS or in other institutes. For the 4 year UG course internship is now mandatory and time is separately mapped out for the students to do internships without hampering course work. Workshops and seminar talks are held. Provides excellent guidance for cracking competitive exams required for M.Sc. Admissions such as GATE and JAM BT.

Infrastructure: Labs are well maintained and there's a good variety. Library has all the books required for the study. Wi-Fi facility is given for free to all students. Both boys and girl hostel are well furnished and they provide a bus for the girl hosteleers as well. Boys hostel is right Next to campus. 2 canteens with good food and affordable price. Sports of all sorts are very much encouraged.

Faculty: All the teachers are well qualified and knowledgeable. Excellent guidance from all faculty. Course curriculum is based for further research opportunities and getting into good institute later on. Semester exams are difficult but manageable. Best for student's intellectual growth.

Other: There's one grand fest called MILIEU Extra-curricular occurs regularly. Student's are free to participate. Several clubs are also there. Vivekananda scholarship available alongside the INSPIRE Scholarship.

You need to have Physics in Biology Honors, as well because if you doing Biology Honors, then you require to come from PCB background, and that's why you need to have physics.
