Remarks

There is no entrance examination for admission to Presidency College, Chennai. The admission is completely based on marks. The application form and related details will be available in the tngasa.in website. For other state students, there is no reservation, the admission is completely based on marks. They should come in the top 6-10 students of the rank list.

Course Curriculum Overview

4.5

First of all, I chose Physics for my own personal interest. But regarding the Department of Physics in Presidency College, it's really good. It's the oldest department in the college, known for its prominent alumnus Dr. C. V. Raman and Dr. S. Chandrashekhar. All the teaching and non-teaching staffs are very supportive and are well experienced. Most of them try to provide their students with maximum exposure via various programs and workshops. Examinations and publication of results happen at the correct time.

Class Size: 28Course Fees: INR 1086 per year

Fees and Financial Aid

There is very less fee here since it's Government Autonomous College. During my course at the College, there was no hike in the fees. Regarding scholarships, all Central government and State government scholarships can be applied with correct guidance from the college. I was an inspiring scholarship awardee for which I got all the guidance throughout. Regarding scholarships under nsp (national scholarship portal), there is a staff-in-charge who will take care of all the related procedures.

Campus Life

4.5

College is always open to extracurricular activities on campus. There will be a college day as well on which students can showcase their talents. There are many College based clubs such as Rotaract Club, and Eco club.

Helpful Internships with Practical Exposure

Likes

Experienced and supportive faculty who guide well in both theory and practicals. They are approachable for doubts and research guidance.
Well equipped chemistry labs, library and clean campus. Good infrastructure for science students with modern instruments and facilities.
Safe women-only campus with good campus life. Regular seminars, workshops and events help in overall personality and career development.

Dislikes

Being a girls college, exposure to mixed-gender events and industry networking is less compared to co-ed colleges.

Course Curriculum Overview:

It covers all core Chemistry subjects with good lab work. I chose this course for strong academics and research scope. The syllabus helps for higher studies and competitive exams like NET, SET. Practicals help in real applications. Exams are held each semester. Difficulty is moderate and most students clear easily,More workshops and industry training can be added for improvement.

Worst colleges in Chennai -WCC

Likes

Exams can be usually easy as this is a five year integrated course
Some faculties are friendly as they themselves are fresh graduates

Dislikes

But most faculties come off very rude and disrespectful
The office people are not at all approachable
The student login has so many glitches which cause delays in downloading of hallticket

Course Curriculum Overview:

There is one end semester exam and 2 CIAs in one year.Endsem is for 100m and CIAs are 40marks each . There is one assignment for each CIA for 10m each. So totally both the CIA together is 100 marks. Then the average of CIA and end semester is calculated if 40 or above it's pass otherwise you have to reappear. The subjects are not at relevant as computer science keeps changing regularly.
