I had a very good experience at Jadavpur University, where I pursued my post-graduation.
Placements: Placements are quite good in our college if you consider the entire institute. It is one of the most reputed institutions in the country, and it produces some of the best talented students nationally. As far as our course is concerned, we got decent internships and placement opportunities.
Infrastructure: Even though I do not stay in the hostel, I am sure that the hostel here is one of the best. The fee is extremely less, and the hostel is near to the main campus.
Faculty: Our course, i.e., masters in economics, is a very comprehensive and specialised course for any student aspires to complete their post-graduation in economics. Faculty members for MA in economics at Jadavpur University are one of the finest. You get to learn very much from them not just from an academic perspective, but also our daily life lessons. The course curriculum is also top-notch, and the scope for econometrics which our course provides is one of the best in the country.
