I only applied to one specific college and I got accepted. It was my choice to go for a better college. We were given entrance test wherr if one performed well a board of members sit and does the admission process. Cut off was not very high since it was based on eligibility based assessment. The top selected students were provided admission.

In the year of 2023, I enrolled for NEET examination after preparing for it for 2 years. The students with chemistry, physics and biology background are eligible for this course. The application form is available in the websReservation candidates have many benefits like their application fees is lesser, they have higher availability of seats etc. I want the portal to be more advanced and with many other features.

At first I applied to Saint xaviers College Kolkata and I got admission there. After that I went to Scottish college also but when the update result was out I choose to be a Presidencian and complete my degree from Presidency University. The main reason is that Presidency University has a best placement cell which offers regular internships and proper placements in the other hand the other colleges are not as much popular for placements.

Eligibility is 12th pass science arts students with atleast 70percentage are eligible for an exam conducted by the west bengal joint entrance board, called PUBDET, Presidency University undergraduate degree entrance test. Yes, there is a benefit to the reserve category. Difficulty level is moderate. But the semester exams are not easy.

3 years in the duration of the course and eligibility is atleast 90% up in the higher secondary examination. The reservation benefits are there. PUBDET is the admission test for presidency University and students have to clear that. I don't think any improvement is needed right now.

The admission procedure followed at Presidency University for Post Graduation is through the entrance examination. As per the government of West Bengal, 60% of seats are reserved for internal students. The rest of the seats are open to all students.
Departments like Political Science, English, History, and Physics conduct separate admission examinations. But for the finalized ranking, the examination scores and the aggregate percentage of board exams are taken and combined together.
Hindi and Philosophy departments consider the marks of the board examination. But, a final combination of the subject and the aggregate score is generally accepted to declare admission.
However, if you want to get further into the details about it, you can visit the webpage of the institute to run a check on how their admission process goes by and their subject-specific norms.
