How is Presidency University, Bangalore?
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.
Which companies hire HRM people from XLRI? Is it true that HR professionals have less workload and their job is a bit relaxed than other roles?
Any professional who is from HR understands exactly what a business requires and manages the whole process from hiring an employee to their exit with talent management & development, compliance, engagement, etc.
Setting up organizational design and development for organizations are also covered by HR professionals. The employees are just a small aspect of the bigger picture.
- My friend worked at the corporate compensation team and he used to simply work on his PC all the time. Getting into HR was because of the simple fact that he was good with numbers.
- MBA programs that offer specialization in HRM, such as XLRI PGDHRM cover all the topics mentioned above in their course work. This is why people for HR roles are taken from XLRI.
- According to the recent statistics, the major companies coming to the campus for recruiting HR students are McKinsey, BCG, Bain, etc.
Traveling isn't vital for HR professionals unlike what a consultant or salesman would do, the workload is, however, very similar. At the end of the day, that aspect falls on the employer culture rather than the department itself.
