Jadavpur University Jadavpur University Economics department

Positive remark- The overall environment is great, we have experienced faculty, helpful seniors and talented peers. Negative remark- There is no placement cell after graduation in the College. Place cell is active only for post graduation students.

The course curriculum is comprehensive. In the first year, we focus on Introductory Micco and Macro economics, mathematics, basics of statistics. English and EVS are the pass subjects. In the Second and Third year, we focus on advanced statistics, intermediate macro and micro economics, as well as Econometrics. Students can also opt for computer language training courses.

No, the College does not provide any internship during graduation, but the students themselves find them. Many of them work as a research intern in their 3rd year. College provides internship during the postgraduation. Students intern in start-ups and big companies like American Express, PWC etc. The average? stipend is 2k- 15k. The training sessions are important as it gives practical exposure of the corporate sector.

There are various events celebrated in JU annually, like the following:- 1. Ibtida (dance, drama, singing etc) 2. Young student Economics meet (YESM) 3. JU Model United Nations 4. Elixir (poetry and story writing competition)

Since JU is a government institution, the fees is feasible. We had to give Rs 1200 for each year. While registering for the semester exams, the students have to pay exam fee of RS 60/- for all the papers. The tuition, library, lab fees are included in the admission fee itself. The students do not have to pay anything extra.

Since it is a government institution, the fees is very less and hence College does not provide any scholarship to Indian students. But it does provides scholarships to international students. The College also provides railway concession amount for students whose permanent address is outside kolkata.

The College has various extracurriculars club like :- Dance club Drama club Singing club Debate and MUN'S club Mountaineering and hiking club Coding club Photography Club The labs are well maintained. There are various sports like Cricket Football College also has separate male and female cricket teams.

The hostel infrastructure is good. It has all the basic facilities. Usually 3 students share a room. The rooms are big and airy. The fees is mere Rs 40/- for a month. The students have to pay extra for food. There are many Paying Guest houses available around the College campus. The rent ranges from 1k-6k a month. All the basic necessary things are available in and around the College campus.

The alumni network is great. Prof Amartya Seen, the Bharat Ratna and Nobel Prize winner was the first Dean of Jadavpur University. Recently in a college event he was invited as a chief guest to address the students. Many of the seniors works in different MNC's. They are appraochable and friendly. The seniors try their best to help in Juniors in studies as well as extra curricular activities.

There are two semesters in each year. Exams are held at the end of each semester. Internals and class tests are also held at certain intervals. Generally, the internals are of 20 marks and the semester exams are of 30 marks for each paper. Grade cards are given at the end of each semester.

I got admission in this college by applying online. You should have minimum of 75% marks in mathematics for applying. The cut-off changes every year. The merit list would be based on class 12th marks and there is no admission test or interview. You will be marked upon 400. Your marks would be generated as follows:- (2*marks in mathematics+ marks obtained in other two subjects) For general category ICSE and CBSE students, anything more than 95% would be sufficient for getting your name in the first merit list. After releasing the first merit list you would be called for admission procedure. The second merit list would be generated on the admission day itself. The second merit list is usually generated to fill up the vacant seats after the result of the first merit list. Since it is a government institution the cut off is low for OBC,SC,ST and PWD students. You will need to carry your school marksheet of class 10 and 12 and money receipt that you got while applying online, on the day of the admission. From the year 2018 Jadavpur University provides integrated BA and MA course in Economics, but the student can opt out of the university after graduation if he or she wishes to do so.

The faculty is nice and friendly. All of them hold a doctorate degree in various fields and are highly experienced in their respective fields. They encourage students to ask questions and also provides extra classes in their office hours. Corrections are linient. Scoring marks is easy with little efforts.
