Presidency University's Independent Admission Process
Presidency University opened its admission portal on May 19, and the university is conducting its own admission process after a gap of ten years. The university has 17 departments offering undergraduate courses. Among these, six departments — Chemistry, Statistics, Life Sciences, Economics, History, and Political Science — will admit students based on entrance tests. The remaining 11 departments will admit students based on a formula that considers the marks obtained in Class 10 and Class 12 board examinations.
The entrance tests for the six subjects will be held between June 12 and 14. Candidates are advised to check the university's official website for detailed schedules and guidelines.
