Presidency University

In Kolkata’s College Street, there is a public state university called Presidency University. When the institute was a part of the CU, it was one of the top universities in the nation. After serving as a constituent college of the CU, the institution was granted university status in 2010. It still holds a top spot among Indian universities nowadays.

Further, a very special and extensive collection of books, journals, and manuscripts as well as multimedia resources was amassed by the Presidency University Library over the course of about 200 years. This comprises thousands of significant books and journals, as well as some of the rarest reference resources. Also, the Arts Library, the Science Library, and the departmental libraries make up the University Library’s two main divisions. Moreover, Plans for additional infrastructure development and expansion are in the works. It is because of the enormous stock of rare and antiquarian books as well as the rising maintenance needs.

At the former Presidency College, the spirit of research has always been accorded high emphasis in all academic endeavors. The founding principle of education, “Not to accept any doctrine without questioning,” epitomizes the crucial role that research activity plays in this institution’s teaching and learning. The Presidency University conducts research that advances both our understanding of socially significant issues and the fundamentals of many different sciences. Furthermore, the main focus of the study reflects both theoretical and real-world, applied components in the sciences that are problem-oriented. Also, with textual, sociological, and economic studies, data surveys, and critical evaluations of literary and historical features, the humanities and social sciences continue to share comparable goals.
