There weren't a lot of placement options, But, I think some private teaching institutes did visit the college but I wasn't interested, so I can't comment more.

B.Sc. in Life Science - Batch of 2025

4.4

3Placements5Infrastructure4Faculty5Crowd & Campus Life5Value for Money

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.

3Placements4Infrastructure5Faculty4Crowd & Campus Life5Value for Money

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.

M.Sc. in Physics - Batch of 2026

Presidency College, Kolkata

Placements: Only 63 to 68% of students from the discipline of Physics are allowed to attend the recruitment drives, while exam results are the deciding factors for their placement participation. The minimum package offered to our branch students is 2.56 LPA.

Infrastructure: The technical team is available in the laboratories at all times to assist the students with the precise usage of equipment. Libraries are well stocked with basic books required for subject references for all disciplines in multiple copies. The possibilities of conducting fests are at the maximum rate.

Faculty: Teachers mark the records of the students more precisely and accurately to avoid future problems. The curriculum experience provided by the teachers was above average. Teachers partition the students into several groups to provide group-based coaching for exams.

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.

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.

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.
