Presidency University Kolkata Reviews on Placements, Faculty and Facilities

I always wanted to study political science. Contrary to what people generally think, political science is not only good for UPSC or other government administrative jobs but is also required for developing skills for both the for-profit sector and the non-profit one. There were 11 professors, very well equipped from well-known institutions like SOAS, Oxford, Jadavpur University, JNU etc.

Presidency University is one of the oldest universities in the country. The university boasts of its various famous alumni like Subhas Chandra Bose, Amartya Sen, and the recent Nobel Prize Winner Abhijit Banerjee, etc. The university has a highly integrated course on the subject I wanted to pursue. The University consisted of highly educated experts in their academic sphere who are known for preparing their students according to the changing global workforce. These Educators in the University are known for strengthening the ability of the students to resist being misled and becoming better at critical thinking.The admission process is through an entrance exam and is conducted by West Bengal Joint Entrance Examinations Board. The Application for the examination is to be done online and is available at www.wbjeeb.nic.in. The mode of the examination is through a Common Entrance Examination in offline mode (OMR-based examination).

It is one of the most renowned institutions in the country. Also, it is an autonomous institution. The faculty of the Humanities section in Presidency University is excellent. I opted for Political Science because I am aspiring for civil services in the future.

Apart from the lack of placement facilities, Presidency University is one of the best choices for students who want to pursue higher education in terms of quality and feasibility.
