JNU students, colleagues were delightfully receptive to new ideas: Jagadesh Kumar
University Grants Commission chairman and outgoing Jawaharlal Nehru University Vice-Chancellor M Jagadesh Kumar said that the students and colleagues at the varsity were ''delightfully receptive'' to new ideas and changes introduced by the administration in the functioning of the institution. While recalling his appointment as the Vice-Chancellor of JNU, he said he did not know anyone in the university when he assumed office in 2016.
"When I entered my office on 27 January 2016, I did not know anyone in the JNU. But now in 2022, my wife and I can very fondly say that we met incredible people at the JNU and enjoyed very pleasant interactions with you and your families. It was only because of this that we had a joyful stay on the campus," he said.
"Students and colleagues were delightfully receptive to many new ideas and changes that we introduced in the academic and administrative functioning of the university. I tried always to be available to all the stakeholders - students, staff and faculty members. We used to have weekly afternoons exclusively reserved for such interactions," he said.
Q: What is JNU famous for?
Q: Is MBA from JNU a good option?
A:
Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) offers a two-year full-time MBA course at the postgraduate level. It is offered by the university through the Atal Bihari Vajpayee School of Management & Entrepreneurship. JNU was ranked 2nd position in the University category by the National Institutional Ranking Framework (NIRF) 2024. Talking about JNU placements, the median package offered during JNU PG 2-year placements in 2023 stood at INR 9.5 LPA. So, yes JNU is a decent option to pursue an MBA degree.
Q: Is JNU MCA entrance tough?
A:
JNU MCA admission is based on a valid Central University Entrance Test (Postgraduate) CUET-PG score. CUET PG is an all-India-level entrance exam conducted by the National Testing Agency (NTA). According to test-takers, the General Test was easy and the Domain Knowledge section was moderate to tough. Although the questions were on the expected lines and within the CUET PG syllabus but according to some students, a few questions were out of the syllabus and tricky. So, the JNU MCA entrance is not very tough but can be tricky.
He said it was a great honor to be at the helm of affairs of the JNU and its "transformative growth". He also thanked his team members at the university for being "incredibly dedicated".
"Opening of new Schools and Centres, starting of new academic programmes, and making the admission and administrative processes efficient could be realized only because my colleagues had the commitment and conviction to remain focused on the priorities that would enable our university to turn into one of the finest," he said. He said he received constructive feedback and suggestions from students that helped in the resolution of issues.
On Monday, Santishree Dhulipudi Pandit was appointed as the first woman Vice-Chancellor of the Jawaharlal Nehru University with the Ministry of Education (MoE).
