Jamia Meri Jaan

I have applied To AMU as well but I didn't like the environment there and also there's not much exposure. So I chose JMI. I got admitted to JMI through the NRI quota and that is why my fees were more than the general students (i.e. $2000). The eligibility criteria for Bcom in JMI is 10+2 (min. 55% in any discipline). Although general students are supposed to give an entrance exam to get admission. NRI students were admitted on a merit basis. To get admission to JMI, I filled up the NRI Admission form and provided all the details required. Then I waited for the results which were based on merit and then my name appeared on the list. I was given a time period in which I was supposed to get my documents verified in the department office and then I was provided with my fees slip which I paid in the given period. I started attending the classes the very same day. IMPORTANT: Now, to get admission to JMI through the NRI quota, one has to give an entrance exam (NRI entrance).

Being a student of commerce stream, I had the option to choose between Bcom Bba and BA Hons and I filled the form for the same and my name appeared for Bcom. The faculty of commerce and business studies of jmi is one of the top management departments and the Management department of JMI ranks 36th all over India. Student intake varies from course to course and 15% of seats are reserved for NRI and 15% for foreign students. Traditional teaching methods are used ( lectures, assignments, ppts). There are 2 semesters in a year and each semester exam was of 30+70 marks. If one studies properly and concentrates in class, it's very easy to not just pass but score good grades.

The last year students are eligible for campus placement and it is then when the placement takes place. Good companies like Deloitte, Microsoft, Wipro, Mahindra, Vedanta etc come for campus placement and the highest package is 41 LPA. The percentage of placement differs from department to department. Some have 100% placement, some as high package placements.

Since I was admitted through the NRI quota, I paid $2000 every year (includes all the study cost). There's no on campus jobs available here. Good placement opportunities but I did not avail any. Only 2 students were placed from my batch (1 from BBA and 1 from BCom).

There's a completely new world on Campus and you'll feel at home. There is fest going on almost whole year .. there ar departmental fests and various other fests such as TEDx jmi, spark, talimi Mela etc. and in each fest you'll find various activities games shows and other stage performances, at times there is a special guest who may be celebrities or politicians. You can join various clubs based on your need, be it dance club, singing club, NSS, NCC, Business Club, etc which organises various activities from time to time. The university also organises sports day where people compete between departments or faculties. Anyone can take part based on their skills.

The hostels provided by JMI is better than any other hostel. One of the drawbacks of the hostel is there is no AC room in the option for general students. Also, there are no coolers for Non AC rooms. Hostel Mess is good and huge and the quality of food differs from time to time but it is adjustable. For girls, there are hostels outside the campus which is known as Old Hall of Girls Residence. There is a separate campus and it has 4 hostels in it. There are also 2-3 new hostels inside the campus as well.
