My Amazing College

I have mentioned enough positive things about my University, and it is very clear how much I love my college. Teachers, students, seniors, libraries, classrooms, campus, everything is so so great. But to be honest, the discipline factor is a negativity of my institution. Also the entry of anyone and everyone in the campus premises.

The course curriculum had been updated just during my admission year, and quite happy with the new structure. Yes there's a lot of pressure having internals on almost every Monday, but I'm enjoying college. Exams are held on a semester basis. But the Monday internals are important as they carry 40% overall weightage.

Yes it is a very known fact that jadavpur does provide placements. As I am from the arts department (Economics in JU is considered an arts stream though), we're provided job only after the post graduation and not on graduation level. So if you ask my personal experience, obviously I don't know because haven't faced one. And yes a good package is given.

Well jadavpur University is very rich in culture ( if you are from Kolkata, you definitely know this)lots of cultural events are held. The fresher events (FETSU, SFSU, AFSU) and the annual event SANSKRITI are well known. Apart from that there is SRIJAN again very well known, it's an engineering fest(kind of a tech fest) , IBTIDA the cultural fest, INDAK a dance festival and many more. (The list will never finish) It also organizes MUN, Model of United Nations. Also literary events from every department are organized every year. My department (Economics) organizes the YESM, Young Economists Society Meet, which is very useful for us as well as others. It's a 3 day long event followed by many events like debates, quiz, paper trial, etc.

Being a government institution, fees is very much feasible. Even the engineering fee is much feasible (subsidized). We basically have to pay an admission fees in the beginning and the tuition fee and exam fee yearly. Infact we get to interact with students of all backgrounds in this way.

There is a scholarship for backward classes (SC/ST/OBC) which I've heard is a very good grant. I'm sorry I am not aware of the details, because I never required that. There is nothing I can say worth 200 characters. Sorry but needed to fill up the space.

There is exposure to a lot of extra curriculars. There is the Dance club, Music club, Photography club, Mountaineering club, painting club, drama club, Debating society, Football teams, cricket teams, and many more. There is a basketball and golf court in the campus where we can just go and play. There is also a table tennis room. There are labs mostly required by the science/engineering students. We only require the computer lab.(being Economics student).

The alumni association is good. And yes our seniors are very helpful. As I've mentioned earlier that we actually do not have any other exposure like tuitions, it's our seniors and professors upon whom we rely.

On the basis of merit list rank I was called. As one after other students were being called, we were asked to show all our documents including 10th and 12th results, character certificates, admit cards, etc. Also a copy of proof for previous admission (if any) to any other college. On all verification and payment of a certain fee, we were admitted.

Very very good faculty, we've had some of the best professors. They are very considerate, not just a academics but for other things as well. Well beyond the college hours too, they've never hesitated to help us in any which way. As for JU students, we literally have no other support like private tutors, because mostly our course structure is very different from that of CU. So we very much depend on our professors for everything.
