Presidency University, Bangalore doesn’t seem to be a very good option for students, according to most reviews available on the internet. The points below are some key highlights that a candidate needs to know before opting for a degree from Presidency University.

• Presidency University is a private and autonomous institute, which runs on its own rules. There are some major problems that students have to face if they go out of track in the institute, including year lag in certain cases.
• There are some good faculties in the university, but the peers inside the class are not so good as to indulge in research-based or other value-added works. There is a strict rule of 75% attendance which creates a lot of heckling. Students failing to complete the attendance quota are given year lag or made to repeat semesters.
• There are a lot of strict rules in the university, like in schools. Some of them include no spending class hours in the canteen, no roaming around, ID is a must, only formals on weekdays, Rs. 1000 fine for the use of mobile phones, etc. The securities are pretty strict with these rules.
• The canteen is costly. Even students can’t leave the campus before the day ends, so no way to get good food. The hostel is also not satisfactory in terms of food and its strict rules. No music can be played after 10 PM.
• Due to the remote location of the university, there is no good place for food. The closest place is 6-8 km away from the campus. This makes the student's life uncomfortable.
• In terms of education, the institute has some excellent faculties, who help students in every aspect, from teaching to personal problems. They are quite friendly. But, even though having such good faculty, students first need to tolerate the strict rules and be genuinely interested in the subjects.
• The only good thing about the university is its infrastructure, which is excellent and quite fancy. It is like a deceptive appearance.
• The overall emphasis of the university is on 75% attendance and 5+CGPA, but not on good quality education and research which is actually necessary.

These are a few disadvantages to be very clear that a student faces after stepping into the campus of Presidency University, Bangalore, which makes it not a good choice for engineering.

One of my friends studying at CMR said it is better to opt for CMR University or Christ University, rather than Presidency University. Mainly due to the excessive strict rules of the latter. Being a student of the Presidency, let me share why it is not apt for you.

• At the Presidency, there are a lot of rules that students need to strictly follow. 
• There are no holidays for preparation before exams. The institute believes in classroom study only.
• Out of an entire batch of over 5000 students, hardly 50-60 students get the chance to participate in sports events.
• Fee submission is hectic. Only 2 or 3 counters are available. 
• Attendance should also be maintained.
• They have a strong and cooperative faculty.

Therefore, for normal category students, CMR University and Christ University are better choices. The Presidency has a decent educational background.

Yes, Presidency University Bangalore is approved by AICTE and UGC. It has also been accredited with grade A certification by NAAC. This college has also been awarded as the Best university of the year 2018-South by ASSOCHAM. The Presidency Group of Institutions have also been awarded as the Most promising Institute in South India by the British South India Council of Commerce and Business Meet.

Presidency Group of institutions consists of 7 schools and colleges. The college offers both undergraduate and postgraduate programs in the field of information technology, management, commerce, and journalism. The college is now offering testimony to students of classes K to 12 to higher education.

It is well-reputed among students because of its innovative research-oriented teaching techniques, industry-oriented curriculum, and state-of-the-art facilities.

Having friends studying in both colleges makes me able to answer your question. Both colleges have convincing reasons and have been in existence for the longest time. 

Christ University offers excellent engineering programs and a highly qualified faculty. They also have an excellent campus. However, based on their online reputation, students are dissatisfied with the programs. 

Presidency University, Bangalore, has an advantage in this regard. The former students have nothing but positive things to say about the faculty. They are cooperative and helpful. The curriculum is always completed on time, giving students enough time to prepare for exams and assignments. It also has some of the best classrooms in the country, all of which are equipped with digital technology for enhanced learning. 

Hence, Presidency University is superior to Christ University Faculty of Engineering for B.Tech.

In terms of percentile, you can surely score 99%+. There will always be a conventional topper from every batch even if everyone performs poorly in their academics.

• You will find many students securing a 10/10 CGPA from good institutes as they follow relative grading.
• If someone secures 60/150 while most of their classmates are struggling to score even 30, the professor could decide to give them an ‘A’ which is not even similar to scoring 100% marks.
• But, in absolute terms, no, you can’t imagine someone scoring about 95% in almost every semester they appeared as it will directly imply the college holds a very low bar for evaluation.

The Presidency University, Bangalore gives marks for showing up and just for filling up the pages in exams. Thus it is not such a big problem.

My friend and I studied at the Presidency University in Bangalore in 2018. It is a very good university for most of the programs. Of course, you'd find some negative criticism depending on subjective opinion, such as the few complaints about the strict management, however, it is a good thing if the management is a bit disciplined.

Some of its highlights are as follows-

• It has a huge campus of 64 acres and top-notch amenities with brilliant faculty. Most students tend to form a good opinion of it all.
• Another factor that helps the university to excel, is its placements. It has a 100% placement rate, and the placement director, Mr. Jasjit Singh Mahon is the bright star guiding the whole process.
• The university has collaborated with many experts from the industry, who visit as guest lecturers.
• The overall fees are quite affordable as well and include hostel charges too.

The general profile of the colleges and some faculty members might be a disappointment to some but that doesn't tarnish the reputation of the university.

No, Presidency University Bangalore is entirely different from Presidency University Kolkata. The key points of difference between the two institutes are stated below in the following points.

• The Presidency University at Bangalore is a private university, which was newly established in 2013. But, Presidency University, Kolkata is a 200-year old premier institute. 
• Presidency College became a university in 2010, even before Presidency Bangalore was established. It is now fully funded by the government of West Bengal.
• In Presidency University, Kolkata, many eminent personalities studied during their era. For example, Prof. S. N. Bose, Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose, Dr. Rajendra Prasad (India’s first president), Satyajit Ray, Prof. M. N. Saha, Dr. Amartya Sen (Nobel Laureate in economics), etc.
• The list of professors of Presidency University Kolkata has several pioneers including Sir J. C.

C. Mahalanabish (founder- Indian Statistical Institute), etc.

The lists of eminent personalities who have either studied at or lectured in Presidency University, Kolkata is endless. It is a heritage university, located in the heart of the city.

The answer is yes, Presidency University is an extremely good institute for MBA courses it offers. In fact, it is renowned for its MBA courses, as it is one of the most looked after courses in the city of Bangalore. Since it is a private university, the concerned authorities have the freedom and rights to base and form their curriculum and syllabus based on international pedagogy.
