    We get excellence in knowledge, cultural aspirations, faculty members, and courses.
    Placements: The individual information or percentage of students who are placed in my course is not known to me, as it is confidential. Details could not be found by general students. But our placement cell encourages students by helping them to get internships, which increases their desire to know the world better. The placement cell for my course needs to be developed more, as we have a few seats for our course, and they should have a look at the arts stream placements specifically and enhance their packages also.
    Infrastructure: Our university has two libraries (arts and central) where innumerable books, articles, magazines, daily newspapers, and study materials are available to enrich students with a wider spectrum of knowledge. Classrooms for my course carry historical significance, where many eminent Indian personalities did higher studies. The AC room in our department is short in number. It will be better if rooms get modernised with centralized AC and are a bit cleaned regularly. Wi-Fi is not good. Canteen food is well-cooked and delicious. Hostel facilities are available. We have a sports room and a gym for physical enthusiasts.
    Faculty: Faculty members are excellent. They are highly qualified and knowledgeable. They use PPTs while teaching and give useful study materials to students. They used to cover the syllabus, and moreover, they are very helpful. They are easy to reach for students. The course curriculum is absolutely relevant and beneficial for students who will think about higher studies. Semester exams are not that tough if students follow the classes regularly and follow instructions of the professor. Hardly, some students fail in the semesters here if their attendance does not become a barrier for them to sit in the semester.
    Other: I chose this course because I have an interest in this subject, and also the Presidency's legacy brings me to it. I chose this course because it offers me the best things about history, which enrich me. We get a huge help from the professors, and I have been nurtured with an inquisitive approach towards any topic. The most important thing I want to deliberately increase is the time gap between the semesters, as it is too short to get deeply into topics. Fests here are very attractive, which include the fresher's party. A noticeable thing here is that there is no burden between seniors and juniors.

    A well-rounded college experience - Faculty, infrastructure, and beyond.
    Placements: Placement cell of Presidency University engages the students by placing them in various opportunities. Number of students who get placed is not known in detail to other students, but the university works effectively to ensure a smooth placement process. University helps students get internships, which enhance their real-world experience.
    Infrastructure: University has libraries where the students get access to a wide range of books, reference materials, daily newspapers, magazines, and so on. Campus is well-maintained and the classrooms are also equipped to hold a good number of students. University has hostel facilities for the students. Canteen food here is quite affordable. Campus has a gym area and a sports room to foster the physical skills of the students.
    Faculty: Professors of this university are highly qualified and employ a unique teaching method. They use PPTs, provide study materials for the topics and the course, and help the students understand the concepts in a better way. Teachers are very helpful here. The course curriculum is according to the NEP and is relevant for the students in the current scenario. The semester exams are not so tough that the students will fail. 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. Faculty is so good that it keeps the students engaged with different assignments and internal assessments. Fests here are the most memorable events in the lives of students. Students also become a part of various clubs that are active in college, helping in the holistic development of the students. University has an aesthetic touch and the surroundings are cleaned daily. Students are given various scholarship opportunities.

    The exact place you need to grow as an artist as well as a human being.
    Placements: Most of the students from my batch will be pursuing master's degrees here, so they didn't go for a full-time job right now including me but we got job offers ranging from 3 LPA-4 LPA. The top recruiting companies are SVF and KCC by Emami Group. Almost 100% of students got internships from this course at KCC. Top roles offered are arts manager, instructor, and professor after completing masters' and post-doctorate.
    Infrastructure: We have our lecture theatre with two portable ACs, sound systems, and a projector for a comfortable and engaging learning experience for the students. We have our practical room at the Black Box Theatre, and all the instruments are available there guitar, tabla, keyboard, etc. We have our dance studio where the dance students as well as the theatre students practice their arts and the library contains all the necessary books for the course. The hostel is big, there's a huge football ground, the food is healthy and hygienic and it's near Calcutta Medical College for any kind of emergencies.
    Faculty: The professors are engaging and helpful both with practicals and theories. The curriculum is versatile and relevant for getting into the world of performing arts as a working professional be it a performer or an academician. Semester exams are not that hard if class notes are followed correctly. The pass rate is above 95%.
    Other: I'm a musician and wanted to be a musician before joining this course, I'd say if you're signing up for this be ready and open to learn because this course teaches it all, and if you want to be a true artist then all this knowledge will be really helpful to make you grow not just an artist but as an individual, both skillful and personally. We have some huge fests every year and as an artist, it's a huge platform to showcase your talents in front of a large audience on the campus and also from outside.

    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.

    Our college has good faculty members, and it is worth studying.
    Placements: Placements are available for arts and science department students. I am a student of the English department, there is very little scope for placements. I do not have any idea about placements as my department does not offer placements.
    Infrastructure: Our university has very good infrastructure. There is Wi-Fi for students. Our classrooms are well-organised. Many classrooms are AV-enabled, which makes our learning better and more enjoyable. The library is vast and has many books on every subject. It is well-organised. The hostel in which I stay is quite good. The food served in the canteen is above average. We have sports equipment in the hostel. Medical facilities are available.
    Faculty: Professors in our department are a blessing to us. They are not only adept in their areas but also pay attention to every single query of ours. Texts are well chosen. They include important texts and theories of literature for English honours students. It would be great if Jane Austen were included in our syllabus as well. Exams are quite good. The pass percentage in our department is 98%. The overall pass percentage in the university is 85%.
    Other: I chose this course because I love studying English literature, and Presidency University offers a beautiful syllabus and excellent faculty. It would be great if we had more faculty members and different tutorials for weaker students. There are fests, events, and seminars, and we take part in them. I love to recite poems at these events.
