    Presidency University Self-Study RepoRt For Submission to the National Assessment and Accreditation Council Presidency University Kolkata 2016 (www.presiuniv.ac.in) Volume-1 Self-Study Report (Volume-1) Institutional Data Analysis 1 Presidency University 2 Self-Study Report (Volume-1) Self-Study RepoRt For Submission to the National Assessment and Accreditation Council Presidency University Kolkata 2016 (www.presiuniv.ac.in) Volume-1 (Institutional Data Analysis) Foreword I am delighted to present the Self-Study Report of Presidency University for the first cycle of accreditation by the National Assessment and Accreditation Council. We were upgraded from Presidency College to Presidency University in 2010. The First Vice-Chancellor was appointed in 2011. The faculty were subsequently recruited from mid-2012. Our Statutes were published on July 7th 2014. The first batch of undergraduate students were admitted in July 2011 and they graduated in June 2014. The first batch of postgraduate students graduated in June 2013. We began our PhD programme in 2015. As Presidency College, we received a NAAC accreditation at the A+ level with an institutional score of 90.95. The history of our glorious institution extends from 1817 when we started as the Hindoo College. It has been a challenge, where we believe, we have succeeded in upgrading our infrastructure, facilities and curriculum for transforming this prestigious undergraduate college to a modern university at par with the best in the country within a short span of five years. While upgrading our teaching and research programmes to those of a modern university, we have incorporated the liberal arts and sciences in choice-based GenEd courses.

  • Title Preface
    ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DEPARTMENT OF HIGHER EDUCATION 2010-2011 FOREWORD Poised on the threshold of technological growth and all-round initiatives for expansion in the sector of higher education, a dedicated team of the Higher Education Department has brought out this edition of the Annual Report for the year 2010-2011. In view of the fact that we have entered into the modern era of information systems and improved global networking, the process of improvement of quality and access to the higher education system has taken up a significant and substantial step ahead. In spite of the limitations of man-power and resources, conscious measures have been taken to uplift the status of technical education in the State. During 2010-2011, provisions were made for construction of buildings of West Bengal State University, Barasat. All construction work regarding Guest House Buildings and Girls’ Hostel Buildings were complete. Foundation work for the main building, Boys’ Hostel Building and Electrical Sub- Station Buildings were also complete. Infrastructural development of Presidency University was taken up in right earnest. The First Vice-Chancellor was appointed. During that year, a substantial fund to the tune of rupees crore were provided for construction of buildings of Gour Banga University, Malda. The structural work of the university building (Administrative and Science Buildings) was complete. Acquisition of land and construction of buildings of “Sidho Kanho Birsa University” in the Districts of Bankura and Purulia were made. The First Vice Chancellor was appointed.
