Which university is better for BBA Calcutta University or Amity University Kolkata?
Even though Calcutta University is one of the oldest and most-renowned Indian universities, it has a very strict marking system.
Though Amity University is new and does not have the history that Calcutta University does, if you work hard you can score good marks in your BBA and get admission to a prestigious university for your MBA.
Amity’s environment can be a bit distracting at times, however, it is upon the students to maintain a good academic score.
In terms of placements, Calcutta University’s brand will hold importance and even the recruiters are aware that 55-60% is the score of the top students at Calcutta University. On the other hand, Calcutta University’s marking scheme can also cause problems during placements because regardless of the reputation of an institution, if the students do not score more than 50%, some companies will simply not allow them to sit for the placements.
Other factors that can guide your decision are - Ease of travel/Distance from home, Fee vs Potential, and the reason for pursuing the particular course, among others.
Amity is on the costlier side, but the faculties at both are equally good.
Both the institutes are a good choice, however, Amity University is more beneficial considering all the factors.
Which is better Calcutta university or Presidency university for a PG course in economics?
Between Calcutta University and Presidency University for a PG, you should opt for Presidency University. Having studied in Calcutta University, I suggest you go for Presidency instead.
- Calcutta University is known to provide low marks to students.
- The teachers are part of the board or question setter which doesn't give good marks and a student has to study under them.
- Apart from this, there are certain colleges that, to improve their grades, give good marks to the students.
- Both of these cases are not good. Along with this, the marks get worse as the answer sheets are not checked by the college faculty and are instead checked by someone else.
- The Presidency won over these things. A student scores good marks in Presidency.
- The teachers are not that strict and they only check the answers sheets.
- As it's only the college teachers who do the questions and answers work in the exam, once getting familiar with them will help a student score well.
Therefore, it's better to opt for Presidency University. Due to its better faculty, facilities and overall experience.

For English Honours, which university is better between Rabindra Bharati University and Calcutta University? Calcutta University has started the semester system from this season.
Choosing between Rabindra Bharati University (RBU) and Calcutta University (CU), is not justified, as they are both reputed institutions and have more or less the same performance.
Their curriculum will be different, along with their teaching style. But both will provide you with similar opportunities after graduation.
CU students claim that it is very difficult to score good marks here, but since the semester system started in CU, it has become manageable.
So choose the college you feel suits all your requirements, then go for the one. The one thing better in CU is the environment, because RBU has been in constant disputes and political turmoil, which sometimes hampers regular classwork.
Is the scoring system of Rabindra Bharati University as hard as Calcutta University?
Comparing universities is not a very good idea. Calcutta University (CU) and Rabindra Bharati University (RBU) are reputed institutions.
- The faculties here are well experienced but not punctual, they often leave most of the topics for the students to figure it out themselves.
- The administration of these institutions are slow and most of the time do not cater to the students' demands.
- Students who genuinely wanted to learn something will be disappointed, as seeking knowledge is not encouraged.
- Students are said to mug up theories than to actually understand the concepts.
- Booth colleges are infamous for their scoring system. Students claim their answer sheets are not checked properly.
So, if you are willing to study in any one of the institutions, you should remember that your effort and dedication will finally matter and not the name of the college.

Which one is better to choose between Kalyani Government Engineering College and University of Calcutta for the WBJEE, if one cant get Jadavpur University?
If you solely consider studies as the basis of the selection of an institute for your career, I don't believe there will be much of a difference.
- The chief difference arises because the colleges were established at different times.
- As time goes on, new clubs emerge at institutes that improve with time, the festival improves, and norms and culture unique to the college change over a period of time.
- Because CU's engineering programs are newer, they may have certain disadvantages for several fields.
- You may claim that you are unconcerned about everything other than your academics, but once you enroll in a college, you will realize how vital everything is.
- Kalyani College does have a far larger student body than CU, you will have a diverse group of students in your batch.
Also remember, that usually everyone despises their own university no matter how good or bad it in reality is. You surely would not want a gloomy college experience. So do your homework before deciding on an institution.
