Question 8

Which is better Calcutta university or Presidency university for a PG course in economics?

Accepted Answer

Between Calcutta University and Presidency University for a PG, you should opt for Presidency University. Having studied in Calcutta University, I suggest you go for Presidency instead. Calcutta University is known to provide low marks to students. The teachers are part of the board or question setter which doesnt give good marks and a student has to study under them. Apart from this, there are certain colleges that, to improve their grades, give good marks to the students. Both of these cases are not good. Along with this, the marks get worse as the answer sheets are not checked by the college faculty and are instead checked by someone else. The Presidency won over these things. A student scores good marks in Presidency. The teachers are not that strict and they only check the answers sheets. As its only the college teachers who do the questions and answers work in the exam, once getting familiar with them will help a student score well. Therefore, its better to opt for Presidency University. Due to its better faculty, facilities and overall experience.

Question 9

Can I take admission to Presidency University, Kolkata (through PUBDET) if I get admitted under Calcutta University in the first year?

Accepted Answer

You certainly can. If the registration process is completed by you already, make sure you take your TC and mark sheet from there. Your mark sheet should have an "admission canceled" stamp to it otherwise it would not be approved. You may also be required to write a letter sent to the authorities. It will cost you a sum of ?1000-1500 which would have to be deposited as a TC fee. In case you have missed your registration, make sure you get in touch with the staff of the office. They will help you get your admission canceled. Although this is a rare situation, in case you are lucky, they may give back your admission fee too.

Question 10

Do we have uniforms in Presidency University?

Accepted Answer

No, there is no uniform at Presidency University. Being a student at Presidency University, I can assure you that there are no strict rules considering clothes. In University your nature matters more than what you wear. Decent clothing at the campus is expected and how you carry it. At Presidency University nobody wears a uniform as told by the authority and it is expected to continue further too. Therefore, there is no uniform at Presidency University. Students are free to wear whatever they want. But to maintain decency at the university campus by wearing decent clothes.

Question 11

Question 13

Which University is better for English Honors at Undergraduate level, Jadavpur or Presidency University, Kolkata, and why?

Accepted Answer

Well, both the colleges hold their own places in English Honors at the Undergraduate level. But, this is the tough one as you won&rsquo;t really get a definite answer. Jadavpur students will claim their institute is better and so will the Presidency students. Moreover, both the universities are undoubtedly the best for any stream in Humanities. I know people from both the institutes and based on the interactions I had with them I will suggest you go for JU. It will offer you better exposure, academics, faculty, ambiance. JU&rsquo;s entrance examination is also more competitive. Few of my friends appeared for both the exams. And only the best managed to get into JU. While quite a few cracked Presidency University. As Presidency University looks at your current skills, on the other hand, Jadavhpur wants you to not only focus on writers&rsquo; current and past but also on different aspects like theatre as well.

The Dept. of Economics in Presidency is highly sought after by aspirants because of the top-notch faculty & an illustrious history of creating world-renowned economists.
