The Physics department at Presidency University has a number of specializations and the students pursuing M.Sc need to make dissertations as well. A lot of my friends studied at Presidency University and it is definitely better than the University of Burdwan.

The scientific exposure Presidency University provides to its students is more efficient than that provided by the University of Burdwan despite having a qualified and experienced faculty. Presidency University also has tie-ups with foreign universities.

The University of Burdwan has collaborations with funding agencies like UGC, DST, CSIR, ISRO, BRNS, etc. and the faculties have obtained the research projects individually. Presidency University is also very prestigious and is often the first choice for anyone for a number of streams. 

I have friends from both the University Institute of Technology Burdwan and Techno India Salt Lake, and according to their opinion, the latter is slightly better. 

Burdwan University: 

• University Institute of Technology, Burdwan is a government-run engineering institute. The university is affiliated with the University of Burdwan and has NBA accreditation. 
• It charges around 71,000 annually.
• The infrastructure of the institute is good. It has a huge campus. Library, playground, and hostels are on campus. 
• The placement record is average. According to the recent placement highlights the highest CTC offered at the institute is 12-20 LPA, while the lowest stays in the range of 5-6 LPA. 
• The industry exposure you will get on campus is also quite limited. As it is located pretty far away from the major industrial sectors located at Kolkata.

Techno India:

• Techno India Salt Lake is a private college affiliated with WBUT. The total course fee at the institute is around 4.84 lakhs. 
• It does not offer hostel facilities. Additionally, the campus is smaller in size. 
• However, the academic environment at the institute is pretty commendable, unlike many other private engineering colleges. 
• The placement percentage is about 80% to 90%. The average CTC offered is around 4-5 LPA. While the highest CTC offered is 12-14 LPA. 
• The industrial exposure offered is average. 
• It hosts the second-biggest tech fest only following IIT Kharagpur.
• It is situated in the center of Section V.

After having a closer look at all the prospects of both the institutes, it is best to opt for Techno India Salt Lake, as per what has been witnessed recently.
