I have a few friends who attended Presidency College, Chennai. According to them, the Mathematics department is great. It has a great faculty base. The professors are well-qualified and knowledgeable. The departmental building is located near Merina beach. It offers a wonderful environment for studies. Many alumni of the department have pursued higher studies and research, in past.
It depends on your expectation. You can’t expect great infrastructure, since it is one of the oldest institutes in the country. But it has been renovated recently. The faculty base is decent. However, many professors teach in Tamil, since most of the students are from Tamil medium. The college starts at 8:30 am and end at 1 pm. So, you will get plenty of free time to do what you want. If you utilize your time well, it is definitely worth joining the college.
The History department of Presidency College, Chennai is one of the oldest departments of the institute. The faculties are well-qualified. The departmental library has a good collection of books.
