Presidency University is the heritage of Kolkata.
Placements: The placement cell present in the college is not active. Placements are offered, but the package provided to the students was very low. So, the students opt for higher studies than going for placements. No internships are provided to the students, and the students have to look for such opportunities on their own. However, companies Axis Bank, HSBC, Bibek Academy, etc., visit our college to conduct placements.
Infrastructure: There are two hostels present on the campus. Both are Wi-Fi enabled. The classrooms and labs are spacious and equipped with the latest machinery. There are three canteens on the campus which provide quality food to the students. There are various labs and classrooms which are air-conditioned.
Faculty: The institute has the best teachers compared to the other colleges present in this region. They are very knowledgeable. They are always ready to help the students regarding the career issues. Our college was accredited as a university recently. So, many changes are taking place based on the curriculum.
