Presidency University - Dont judge a book by its cover

The courses are designed in very student friendly manner. Most of the syllabus for the first years was pre known knowledge with only little bit of advanced topics. The curriculum is also based on what the current industry requires and provide enough training for soft skills as well. They also motivate us to pursue extra curricular courses to enhance our skill sets. The study material can be little bit better though. Exams are held twice each semester with one mid term and one end term and few small quizzes for internal assessments. They are quite easy at scoring if you pay attention to class and study a little bit at least.

We get many internship opportunities. Some are official and some are third party. Most of the third party are industry oriented learning programs with no stipend. Official internships I don't have idea.

I am only a first year student but based on what seniors have told we get companies such as tech Mahindra, Infosys, etc. which usually do mass hiring so the average package is 3-5 lpa usually with the highest being 13-15 lpa sometimes. The college could receive better placement opportunities if students were more serious about it as most of them don't care.

I joined through KCET so other than the base fee I was asked for extra ?20K as lab and other charges. For management students scholarships are available. They also approve scholarships through SSP and NSP.

The campus is very awesome given for the fees I am paying. It hosts lots of small events almost every month. And huge event yearly (most recent: invincia 2024). There are over 40 clubs students can join but only one is allowed. NCC can also be continued in this college. Lots of inter and Intra college sports tournaments as well. Overall a very active college with lots of facilities for students.

You need to have PCM combination to apply for this course. I had written Karnataka common entrance test (KCET)(registration fee 500). KCET is syllabus is based on 11th and 12th syllabus and has a difficulty level of easy to moderate. Based on board marks and KCET marks I was allotted my rank. Cutoff lists are prepared for each college and 3 rounds of counselling are conducted. As a general merit student it was hard to get a seat as most get filled by students having categories which is unfair as most of them don't even deserve it.

The university has more than enough faculty to comfortably take up classes without conflicts such as having to take multiple batches at once. We are free to contact the faculties any time and discuss any academics or non academics related issues. Faculties are hired based on their skill levels and undergo multiple interviews before approval. They are well trained and great in communication. Most of them engage the classes in a very interactive and interesting. We also have regular feedback meetings with departments heads regarding any complaints or opinions on the faculty taking our classes.
