What Resources Are Available for Current Students on Presidency University's Website?

Updated

Current students at Presidency University can access academic, library, research, and administrative resources through the Students section of presiuniv.ac.in, along with the Academic Calendar, Library Notices, and Notices areas. The site also links to external e-resources including the World e-Book Library, South Asia Archive, and the Turnitin plagiarism detection platform. Below is a breakdown of what each area offers and how to use it.

The Students Section

The Students link in the main navigation is the starting point for student-facing content. From there you can reach:

  • Academic resources — course and programme information, along with the academic calendar
  • Library resources — library notices, fine payment guidance, and e-resource access
  • Research resources — research-related pages for students engaged in projects or higher degrees
  • Alumni — for graduates, though current students may find networking or records information here

The exact layout of these sub-pages is not detailed in the available site content, so treat the Students link as the entry point and navigate from there.

Academic Calendar

The Academic Calendar is listed in the main navigation. It is the reference point for term dates, examination schedules, and other time-bound academic events. Check it before planning enrolment, submission, or exam-related tasks, since notices frequently reference session years (for example, 2026–2027).

Notices: Enrolment, Admission, and Certificates

The Notices area carries time-sensitive administrative announcements. Examples visible on the site include:

  • Notification for Casual Enrolment for the session 2026–2027
  • New Admission Notice for One Year (two semesters) Master Degree Courses (Home Quota), session 2026–2027
  • New PhD Admission 2026–2027 (Odd Cycle)
  • Online Application Form for Migration Certificate

If you need a migration certificate or are dealing with enrolment or admission paperwork, the Notices section is where the relevant forms and instructions appear. Because these are dated announcements, always confirm you are reading the notice for the correct session.

Library Resources and Notices

The Library Notices area covers both practical and access-related matters:

  • Guidelines for Payment of Article Publishing Charges (APC) under One Nation One Subscription (ONOS) — relevant if you are publishing and seeking APC support
  • One Nation One Subscription (ONOS) — the national subscription initiative providing access to scholarly content
  • Access to Turnitin Plagiarism Detection Platform — for checking written work before submission
  • Notice regarding Online Payment of Library Fine — how to settle fines
  • New access under RUSA fund — additional subscribed resources
  • E-access links — including the World e-Book Library and South Asia Archive (SAA)
  • Bibliography of Selected Books from the Old and Rare Section — a listing of holdings in the library's rare collection

These are the practical tools most students will use: Turnitin for plagiarism checks, ONOS for journal access, and the online fine payment route for clearing library dues.

Departmental Events and Colloquia

The site lists Departmental Events and All University Events, including public lectures and colloquia. Examples from the site include:

  • A colloquium at the School of Astrophysics (October 07, 2:45 PM, Astrophysics Classroom 1), with a talk on black holes and host galaxy properties
  • A Monthly Colloquium jointly organized by the RNA India Kolkata Chapter and the Institute of Health Sciences (October 7, 2026, 4:00–5:00 PM, T1-307, Institute of Health Sciences, NewTown Campus)
  • An ICSSR-sponsored international conference, "Archives as Living Memory in the Indian Knowledge Ecosystem," scheduled for 3rd–5th February 2027

These listings are useful for finding seminars, lectures, and conferences relevant to your department or research interests.

Quick Links and Other Navigation

The Quick Links area and main navigation also include Prospective Students, Giving to Presidency, Departments, Email, Research, Alumni, Advertisements, RTI, and Staff Login. For current students, the most relevant of these are Departments (for department-specific pages and contacts) and Email (for institutional mail access).

The site also references NIRF, IQAC, and NAAC — accreditation and ranking information that may be of interest if you are looking at institutional data rather than day-to-day student services.

How to Use These Resources

  1. Start at presiuniv.ac.in and open the Students section for academic, library, and research links.
  2. Check the Academic Calendar for term and exam dates.
  3. Monitor Notices for enrolment, admission, and certificate announcements — note the session year on each notice.
  4. Use Library Notices for Turnitin access, ONOS/APC guidance, e-resources, and fine payment.
  5. Watch Departmental Events for colloquia and conferences in your field.

Common Points to Watch

  • Notices are session-specific (for example, 2026–2027). Confirm the year before acting on any enrolment or admission notice.
  • Some resources, such as Turnitin and ONOS-linked content, are access-controlled — you will typically need institutional credentials. The site content does not specify login requirements for each resource, so check the individual notice.
  • Library fine payment and migration certificate applications are handled through online forms referenced in the notices; follow the linked instructions rather than assuming an in-person process.
