There is a huge talent pool in this country, and I want the youth of the country to think ahead, dream big, give shape to their desires, and never give up in the face of adversity.
– Dr. Nissar Ahmed, Chancellor, Presidency University
A desire to provide students with quality education that would equip them to forge ahead in their chosen professions with the right mix of knowledge, skills and attitude at a time when there was a dearth of good schools to cater to the needs of the growing student population of this country drew Dr. Nissar Ahmed to the cause of education. Along with his uncle, Dr. Nissar Ahmed began this epoch-making journey and started a school in 1976 in the city of Bengaluru with just eight students.
‘Great oaks from little acorns grow.' Today, the Presidency Group of Institutions has under its umbrella eight schools (four affiliated with ICSE and four affiliated with CBSE), four Colleges and a University across the southern state of Karnataka, catering to about 30,000 students who are from all over the country and the world. Around 3000 teaching and non-teaching professionals ensure that the high standards set by the group are met, producing a large pool of confident young adults ready to take on the challenges of life year after year.
The hugely talented staff—both teaching and non-teaching—remains the core strength of Presidency University as they explore new frontiers and navigate through uncharted territories to bring a world-class education right here in India. The University is equipped with the latest in technology and leaves no stone unturned to provide the students with the best in their chosen disciplines.
The vast pool of graduates passing out with flying colors each year from Presidency University attracts industry experts who are constantly scouting for employable youth who are industry ready. The University works in tandem with the industry and that is reflected in the innovative courses designed in the curriculum, which ensure that students can step into their workplaces ready to take flight. Projects, innovations and internships hone the skills of the students, and they are exposed to the requirements of the industry as part of the academic rigor right from the time they step into the University.
The University and the various institutions under the PGI umbrella stand testimony to the far-sighted vision of a committed few who have made quality education available to thousands of aspiring citizens of this country.
Presidency University is dedicated to shaping its students into well-rounded individuals who not only excel academically but also possess strong character and a sense of responsibility towards society. The University's focus on holistic development enables its students to confidently embark on their journey into the world beyond campus. The dedicated staff, both teaching and non-teaching, strive tirelessly towards making Presidency University a world-class institution that garners international recognition.
With five decades of experience in the field of education, we understand that providing the best education in an environment that fosters excellence is crucial to bringing out the best in its students. As a temple of learning, Presidency University aims to empower society with competent and responsible professionals. The campus is equipped with an unmatched infrastructure, state-of-the-art technology, a comprehensive curriculum, and the guidance of renowned academic and industry experts.
Welcome to Presidency University. I promise it will be a fulfilling journey. You will cherish your time here as we are committed to continuous improvement, which will ensure that the University becomes a global reference in academia and industry in the years to come.
