What Students Say
Likes
- It's cheap in terms of fee, it's in South Delhi locality, it's a central university, world class infrastructure for sports, mak pataudi stadium is great, with good amenities, hostel fee is very nominal and locality is students' budget friendly.
- Provides multicultural interactions as it's an University, it's an connected University like you can walk into other departments, medical facility for students is also good, not very advanced but basic services are good.
- It's an central university so the exposure due to the name is good, if you're interested in upsc prep, Jamia has one of the best residential programme for it, and for nearly free of cost, beautiful campus, good infrastructure and space in the south.
Dislikes
- Not so clean surroundings, the staff doesn't want to do it's work, if you have a back in any sem, good luck clearing it out with coe, the amenities are available for a very limited time in a day, the gym is only for players and wards of faculty
- Discrimination and politics are at peak here, they would hold a grudge against you, or even bad you could come between the politics of 2 professors and get yourselves harmed without knowing, the study system is very low grade too.
- No ACs in classroom, some of them have it but they don't work, labs are well equipped to say but you won't use any of it, as they won't let you, they don't either cause they don't know how to, very sub par staff, no good security staff.
Course Curriculum Overview
Curriculum is on point, but just on paper, not in reality, they just teach you old old things and effect to get a job in this competitive field, so it's won't be wrong to say, curriculum is useless, yes there's one benefit, you can get good grades just by studying one or two nights before the exam, need not to study the whole sem, I've done it easy, some profs have good methods of teaching but some don't even care what they're teaching, if you're getting it or not, they just complete their so called syllabus and move on, some of them don't even know what they're teaching, so not very good at this front too.
Placement Experience
The placement scenario at my college is disappointing. Few companies visit, and those that do often offer low salaries. The placement cell isn't very effective, lacking the necessary connections and strategies to attract better opportunities. Many students feel disheartened and worry about their future prospects. Despite having talented and hardworking students, the support and opportunities we receive do not reflect our potential. This situation urgently needs improvement to ensure better career outcomes for everyone.
Fees and Financial Aid
This is the point where Jamia shines, the yearly fee in my course is 15000rs, yes, a bit unbelievable but it's true, everything included, perks of a central university. Lots and lots of scholarships are available, just have to avail. Campus employment opportunities are mid, companies do come, there's a placement cell too, but not the big names, small companies come, but they all give useless CTCs, you cannot even survive in that amount, so not so good on the placement front.
Campus Life
Our campus life has its perks. The campus itself is spacious and green, offering a pleasant environment to roam around. Being in Delhi adds to the fun, with plenty of affordable activities to enjoy. The library is big and well-equipped, a great resource for students. We have sports tournaments like football and cricket, adding to the excitement. There are various societies, though they could be more engaging. Overall, despite its flaws, the campus offers a lively and enjoyable experience.
Hostel Facilities
The hostel room has three beds and houses three roommates. It only has fans, with no cooler or AC ducts. While the menu looks good on paper, the food quality is mediocre in reality. However, it is affordable and includes non-veg meals at the same price. The locality is decent and inexpensive, but cleanliness is a concern. Despite these drawbacks, the overall living conditions are manageable.
Admission
You have to appear for jee mains exam, they consider the mains score for admission, application form is available at jmi site, and has a nominal fee around 300, and further discount for girls but not sure, but the main flaw of the process is that it's not digital, they publish a list, then give time to students to take admission and the process is offline, then they publish next list of the remaining seats and the process go on, it's a very useless, inefficient process, it can take upto 3 months. The lists just keep coming till very late.
Faculty
Some of the faculty is good, friendly and know their stuff but mostly they don't, they don't know their subject, again here comes the politics, teachers those who try to work are forced to not do the work otherwise everybody would have to work na, you cannot complain about them to anyone as they all are somehow connected, some of them are friends from bachelor's, some of them are alumnis of Jamia, nobody would take any action, some profs holds grudges against you and carry with it till the last sem, they're even rude many times, they won't listen to you, they won't help you, even they don't know what's the procedure of things, they would keep telling you to go here and there, and at last you'll lose your will and give up. But not everyone is like that but ya many are.
