Jadvapur Univesity | Best Return on Investment | Great Placements | Best Campus Life

I was always interested in the field of Computer Science and also had the subject in my Higher Secondary. The faculty: student ratio is about 1:90 for theory classes and 1:30 for laboratory classes. The faculty members are highly educated, having PhDs from coveted universities. The term exams are regularly conducted though it ends a little late according to the academic schedule. It is not so difficult to pass but it is rather difficult to score very high marks as the checking is quite strict.

Several companies like Google, DE Shaw, Salesforce, Deutsche Bank, Wells Fargo, Texas Instruments, Morgan Stanley, Samsung etc visit the campus for internship drives. DE Shaw provides a stipend of 1.5 lakhs per month for various roles like data analysts, web development, etc. Morgan Stanley (Rs 87000 per month) and Deutsche Bank(Rs 75000 per month) primarily hire for the technical analyst roles. Google (1.1 lakhs per month) hired for the software development role.

Students are eligible for campus placements from the 7th semester. Students can sit for internships from the 5th semester. Companies like Google, Amazon, DE Shaw, Deutche Bank, Slice, Wells Fargo, Morgan Stanley, Accenture, PwC, ITC, Samsung, Salesforce, Razorpay, Flipkart, Atlassian, etc. are prominent recruiters. More than 150 companies came for placements and more than 1450 offers were made. The highest CTC was 1.8crPA by Meta for the role of SDE and the average package was 12.8 LPA. More than 90% of students who registered for placements got placed. I plan to have a job after getting my degree and maybe pursue higher education later on.

The annual fee is Rs 2450. Additionally, we have to give exam fees per semester which usually is around Rs 60-70. The university could do with a pay hike as the lab equipment is in need of an upgrade. The return on investment is also very high. There are multiple scholarship schemes that you can apply for. I am an upcoming summer intern at Morgan Stanley with a stipend of Rs 87000.

The social life in Jadavpur University is very special and exciting. The cultural diversity is immense. In February 2023, the Arts Department organised Sanskriti which is a 6-day long students' fest. The fest saw many prominent singers taking the stage. There are plenty of books and journals available in the library. We have a central library as well as departmental libraries. The classrooms have air conditioners as well as projectors. Sports and extra-curricular activities like hiking, mountaineering, debates, etc are an intergal part of student life. We have a lot of clubs like Science Club, Coding Club, Hiking & Mountaineering Club, etc.

Candidates should have qualified for their Higher Secondary examinations from a recognised board with a minimum of 60% in Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry or Biology or Biotechnology. The application details can be found at www.wbjee.nic.in. The counselling is very smooth and efficient though it can be conducted earlier.
