Student Voices

Real students. Real outcomes.

Real stories from Presidency University students and alumni.

"Presidency University gave me more than a degree: it gave me a career launchpad. The faculty were always accessible, the labs were state-of-the-art, and the placement cell worked tirelessly to connect us with top recruiters from Bengaluru's IT corridor. On my very first day at work, I felt genuinely prepared. I was placed with a leading MNC within three months of graduating, and I credit the rigorous curriculum and the mentorship I received here for that outcome."

Kondeti Venkateswara Rao

Alumni · B.Tech Computer Science Engineering

"Choosing Presidency for my MBA was the best professional decision I have made. The programme blends theory with real-world application beautifully: we work on live case studies, collaborate with industry mentors, and present our findings to panels that include actual executives. The campus culture is diverse and energetic, and Bengaluru itself is an incredible city to be studying business in. I already feel my professional network expanding week by week."

Sufyan Ahmed

Current Student · MBA Business Administration

"When I enrolled in the B.Tech AIML programme, AI careers in India were just beginning to explode. Presidency was perfectly positioned: the curriculum was updated, the professors had industry research backgrounds, and the projects we built were genuinely challenging. I graduated with a portfolio of real ML models and a job offer already in hand. Today I work as an AI Engineer at a Bengaluru-based product company, and I regularly recommend Presidency to juniors looking to break into the field."

Ayesha Fathima

Alumni · B.Tech Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning

"The M.Tech Data Science programme exceeded every expectation I had when I joined. The depth of the coursework, from statistical modelling and big data engineering to NLP and business intelligence, is truly graduate-level. What impressed me most is how research-oriented everything is. My dissertation supervisor has published internationally, and working closely with her has shaped the way I think about data problems. I am already collaborating on a healthcare analytics project with a partner organisation."

Varsha B.

Current Student · M.Tech Data Science

"Presidency University shaped not just my academic understanding but my professional character. The B.Com Honours curriculum was thorough and practical: we covered everything from financial accounting and taxation to business law and strategic management. Extracurricular activities, guest lectures from industry leaders, and a genuinely supportive alumni network made the experience complete. I went on to clear my CA Foundation shortly after graduating, and I believe the strong fundamentals I built here made all the difference."
