I am satisfied with our college atmosphere.

Infrastructure: Jawaharlal Nehru University has one of the good hostels. The hostel facilities were good and had a good atmosphere. The food served in the hostel was good. The hostel was comfortable for all students.

Faculty: Teachers were well-qualified, more experienced, and knowledgeable. Their teaching methods were good.

Other: I opted for this course because I like teaching and want to improve my speaking skills and confidence. After completion of the course, every student will get a good job. The hostel is a little far from the town, so the disturbing sounds from the traffic are minimum. The campus provides students with enough freedom.

JNU: it's features and benefits. Source of satisfactory .

Placements: About 20 percent of students were placed in my course M.A. in English . The highest the lowest and average package was 8LPA, 3LPA and 5 LPA. Top recruiting companies for my course would be media or publishing companies. About 40 or 50 percent students got self source internships. Top roles offered in my course were editor, writers, management etc.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure at JNU is excellent, Wi-Fi enabled, which is great for students. For M.A. English Central Library is the best facility; it has a massive collection of books and reading halls that stay open late. Classrooms are spacious and decent. JNU is a residential campus, and hostels are extremely affordable. The rooms are usually shared but comfortable. The mess food is hygienic and very cheap. However, there are famous dhabas (canteens) on campus open 24/7 for good food. We also have a Health Centre for medical needs and a large stadium with a gym and grounds for cricket and football.

Faculty: The faculty at JNU is world-class and highly qualified. Teachers are very approachable and encourage critical thinking and debates rather than just memorizing notes. The course curriculum is relevant and regularly updated to include modern literary theories. Semester exams are moderate difficult and test your analytical skills, but if you attend classes, you will score well.

Other: I chose JNU primarily for its affordable education and the vibrant intellectual environment. The best thing about this course is the exposure you get to diverse perspectives and the freedom to express your opinion. The campus crowd is very diverse, with students coming from all over India, which makes the environment very inclusive. Campus life is amazing with 24/7 open dhabas, regular cultural events, and debates. One thing I wish could be improved is the maintenance of some holder hostel buildings. Scholarships like MCM are available for students who need financial aid.
