Presidency University - a University worth studying in

I choose the course of Life Science since I was always interested in studying Biology and since after 12 I did not have a very clear idea about each sub-discipline of biology hence I didn't want to choose to do BSc in any particular discipline of biology. This course is very well-balanced and packed. For those who have a goal or interest in R&D and research-oriented life in biology, this course is a golden opportunity. The student-faculty ratio is moderate. Initially, it might seem a bit high but since many students leave for getting into medical college or somewhere else, the ratio lowers and it's pretty okay. The faculty of Life Science dept. is highly qualified and experienced in their own particular sub-disciplines. All our professors have done their Ph.D. from great universities in our country and outside (US, Korea, Japan, etc.) Their teaching method is very research-oriented and proper guidance is provided by our professors at every step of our course. Exams involve mid sem & endsem per sem

Many lab internships could be applied for in several other universities or institutes. Internships can also be applied under any professor at our university as well. Research projects and internships help to develop lab skills and strengthen the resume.

The cost of the study is minimal since it's a government college. The fee per semester is 4500 rupees, which is the minimal cost one could expect. This makes the ROI (return on investment) high. Scholarships include those offered by the West Bengal govt (svmcm, kanyashree, etc) and those by the Central govt(INSPIRE).

There are several fests that occur throughout the year(including the biggest fest Milieu and followed by Ispat, Icon, etc.) There are 2 library buildings (Science Library and Central Library). The libraries are very well equipped with books and journals and are quite spacious for spending time studying or any other academic work. Our lecture theatres are huge and are very well equipped with projectors and huge whiteboards. Some of our lecture theatres have Smart Board too. There are several sports which take place in our huge ground. Several indoor sports like chess, table tennis, etc are also available. Societies include debate, quizzes, and drama. All of our clubs or societies are run by students since these activities are controlled by the student union.

There was no admission exam for Presidency University in our year 2022-'23 but generally, PUBDET and PUMDET exams take place for undergraduate and postgraduate course admission in other years. Boards percentage was important for our admission including board results of both 10th and 12th and the total marks obtained in the particular subject in which we are applying for admission. No particular cutoff was announced but generally, students getting above 90% are selected (general category). Reservation benefits are available as per the West Bengal govt. norms. Application forms and details are available on the Presidency University website (presiuniv.ac.in). It would have been better if an entrance exam was conducted, which will resume in 2023 as is the news.
