Dislikes
- On the flip side, I felt that there must be an improvement in the infrastructure particularly the labs and the library space.
- The placement facility and internships chances are not really adequate. While the placement cell tried their best , the success for internships and placements was limited.
- Sports and others activities are not given chances. The curriculum felt outdated and lacked new innovations and activities that would allow students to engage in other than academics
Course Curriculum Overview
I would rate the course curriculum in terms of relevance as moderately relevant.My decision to choose this course was primarily influenced by its research learning facility and practical based learning.The curriculum helps each individual to prepare for further comepetitive exams and expanding their jobs option with full and profound knowledge of data based works and computer skills.To enhance the course curriculum and teaching methods , I would suggests dedicating deep learning with lots of real life examples, updating the syllabus to recent advancements Providing recorded lectures would be of so much help and providing more opportunities for students to present their work giving them detailed feedback would improve the skills and learning capacity of the students.

The ICON fest is organized by different companies and sponsored by various alumnis. While the MILEU fest in a small cultural fest within the campus.

Admission
I had applied to Delhi Universities, Lady Brabourne, Jadavpur University, Visva Bharati University and Presidency University. I got selected in all the given universities except Delhi Universities. I chose Presidency University amongst all of the colleges due to its prestige alumni and reputaution . Due to top cutoffs , I could not pass the Delhi University entrance exam.The admission process of my college is thorugh merit and entrance exams based.
Faculty
The faculty to student ratio is 20:1. In my experience, the faculty members approchablity varied. Some of them were really interactive and were always there for help . They encouraged and guided all the students thorughout the course. I particularly appreciated professor P.Thapa who taught Indian Economics and S.Das who was incharge of Game Theory. Both of these mentors really have unique style of teaching and it was always a quick and interesting class with them. Their illustrations and way of explanation is of top notch. The concepts taught by them are so easy and simple to comprehend. There were some instaces where I felt that the Macroeconomic and Econometrics faculty members teaching was not really cleara and conductive to understanding. These were the most complex subjects and were taught with just limited theory paper and some examples.The academic curriculum covered 2 exams each for all the semester. First exam was the internal assessment and was of 30 marks and the final exams was of 70 marks. The internal assessment was of moderate level but the final exam was really lenghty and complex. The exams are generally difficult , given this there were 3-5 students who could not clear the exams.
Night Life
Kolkata"The city of joy" as said, truly comes alive at night and yes this is for the night life of university campus. The cafeterias operates from 9am to 10pm serving perfect meals.The library opens from 9am and closes at 5pm.The most lively part about campus is the campus ground at night which is beamy with all the lights aroud it .The hostel curfew is usually at 8pm but during fests its flexible and extends till 10.
