College Review

Jadavpur University is a world in itself. Believe me you can't find an University with this much diversity. Here you will be given full freedom to do whatever you like. From research to photography, entrepreneurship to mountaineering, Tech to Dance, Drama we have it all for you. You just have to choose the best for you. But a coin has two faces, so be aware where you are spending your time.

Overall course curriculum is pretty good. Syllabus is quite in depth. You will get support by the good faculty. Syllabus is pretty research oriented. There are two internals of 30 marks each followed by semester of 100 marks.

Placement entirely depends on your own quality and which department you are in. The placement scenario in CS/IT departments are extremely good, (nearly 100% placement with as high as agv package of 16 LPA)in the other hand core departments lags a little bit. Last year in my department nearly 85% got placed in core with avg ctc of 6 LPA.

In this section our college is best in my opinion. We have a lot of cultural, tech, games, entrepreneurship related festival are celebrated here. From 7 day long 'Sanskriti', Tech fest 'Srijan', fashion fest 'Ibtida' to games related fest 'U-Turn' the campus is always full of life. Other than this each department have their own tech fest and each faculty have their own cultural fest.

This is the cheapest university in the whole state. The total fees of 4 years is ? 10,000 including everything. The hostel charge is also low nearly ?3k a month(there are certain cliteria for getting hostel though). So if expenses are your concern, go for JU.

There are a lot of scholerships available both from the college or outside the college. Scholerships from Alumni association, Tution fee weaver scheme are provided by college also Vivekananda Scholership, JBNSTS, FFA are the Scholerships you can avail outside of college.

There is a playground in the college where er play football and cricket, also volleyball court, basketball court, free gym, a huge library enriched with lots of books is there. There are labs in each department in which you can do your project, research etc.

The hostel infrastructure is very good, food is also quite good.(if only you are not born with a silver spoon in your mouth). You also get a lot of friends there. A strong unity works between hostel guys, but cleanliness is a bit concern.

Alumni network is not that upto the mark. I don't see a lot of contribution of them rather than in financial help. But don't worry your seniors are very helpful and will guide you throughout the course. What you have to do is to make a good rapport with them.

A councelling will happen through which you will be alloted your preferred branch according to your WBJEE rank then varification of documents will happen followed by admission. Admission process is operated by college and done inside the college.

Faculty is very knowledgeable and supportive. They are very well qualified people. I am from Mechanical Engineering department. There are total 120 teachers in the department so you can see student to teacher ratio is pretty good.
