Best Literature Department in the country

JUDE gives an experience worth of a lifetime. It's the best college to be in. The infrastructure needs to be improved but the faculty and curriculum is top notch. Plus multiple optional courses, classes are available here itself.

The course curriculum is the best in the country. It's dynamic and includes all forms of literature including music, movies, theatre focusing on authors and writings that the dominant English canon often leaves behind. The exam structure is a normal 20 mark in internals and 30 mark in endsem. For the internal assessment there may be tests or term paper submissions.

The placement and job opportunities are not upto the mark.Placements are organised by the student body and although many renowned companies do come JUDE has mainly had its focus on research oriented scholarships so we see most students don't look for jobs and even if they do they find it outside the university.

Other than the many conferences and paper presentations that happen all year round, we have multiple clubs in the university that organises fests like dance fests, photo fests, music workshops and debate competitions. Other than that we have a month long extravaganza called "Sanskriti" that each department in the university celebrates for one week individually leading to a month long festive event with guest performances, inter college competitions etc. We also have sports club, NSS and NCC.

It is a centrally funded University and the fee structure is most affordable. A 3 year course in total will cost you 3.5k which is unbelievable. 1250 is the admission time charges and fee is paid yearly. 1250 for first year and 950 for the two subsequent years with 64 rs per semester as examination fee.

There are multiple scholarships and awards the college offers. The fee being absolutely nominal, no loan facility is there as per my knowledge. Detailed information regarding the scholarships is present in the college website.

Lab facilities are top notch with many clubs operating in the college like Photography club, dance society , debate club, mountaineering club. They organise workshops, events and seminars too. The students go for state level and national level events and intercollege competitions.

There are girls and boys hostel both with very cheap rates less than 5000 a month. Being very affordable the infrastructure is not too luxurious. The girls hostel is better equipped than the boys one but it is good enough to stay at.

The alumni network is very strong and is very helpful for the students. They are supported by alumni societies and fb pages and through the college union that keeps a track of them. They help in placements and other things.

An entrance exam was conducted and the merit list was based completely on the marks scored in the admission test. Students scoring above a certain benchmark in the 12th boards were only eligible for the entrance. That benchmark changes every year and is usually around 75%

The faculty is wonderful. Methods of teaching are best with frequent use of audio visual medium. The professors are very friendly, approachable, helpful and have immense knowledge in their field. Attending classes here has been a delight and having been in other eminent colleges in the city, I can safely say no one does it better. The learning experience is not classroom bound but real life adjusted.
