Presi Goes Wi-fi

Presidency University is now providing free wireless internet access to its students and staff from July 2013. Presidency is among the very few universities in the region to provide free wi-fi to students. The initial stage of the wi-fi access will cover all the departments, offices and libraries. However, the total wi-fi coverage of the university has been planned for the future.

The wi-fi access involves separate SSIDs for students, research scholars , faculty, and the administration and is operated via an authentication server using the RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial In User Service) protocol. All students in the university will be given access for as long as they are enrolled in the university. Students are requested to obtain their IT clearance in order to avail the wireless internet.
