Presidency University Bangalore Karnataka-PGCET cutoff 2023 (Out): Check Karnataka-PGCET Round Wise Cutoffs

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.

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. Bose (father of the modern semiconductor radio), Henry Derozio (Bengal Renaissance pioneer), Prof. P. C. Roy (Chemist), Prof. A. K. Roychoudhury (invented the Roychoudhury’s equation for GTR), Dr. P. 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.
