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.

Satisfied with the scope that the college provides.
Placements: The placements in our batch were a little over 55% but in the senior batch almost everyone got placed. The highest salary package offered is 7.5 LPA whereas the lowest offered salary package is 5 LPA. The roles assigned were mostly in the fields of data analytics.
Infrastructure: There is Wi-Fi facility in the campus but the quality is poor. The new building classrooms are cleaned on a regular basis. The library and the labs have AC and they are well maintained. The medical facility is also well stocked. There are many canteens in the campus and all of them provide proper food.
Faculty: The teachers are all well qualified and knowledgeable but the teaching qualities varies from one teacher to the other. There is not much industry exposure the present curriculum and also the scope of the curriculum has very less practical applications.

Best choice in West Bengal.
Placements: 1. Out of 25 people who sat for on campus placement, 7 didn't get placed. 2. The highest package was 11 lpa, the lowest was 4.5 lpa, average package was 7.3 lpa. 3. The companies that recruited from our course according to the package offered are CITI Corporate Services, HSBC, WNS, Genpact, KPMG and Bridge i2i. 4. 100% students got internship. Companies that they interned at were Genpact, RBI, SBI Bengal Chamber of commerce and industry, M76, Tomorrow's foundation. 5. Top roles offered were that of data analyst and business analyst.
Infrastructure: 1. Our library is really good and contains all the reference books prescribed by our professors and beyond. We have a central library and a departmental library, both of which we can access. Classes are big enough to fit in 60 people and are air conditioned with a projector and a blackboard. Computer lab has recently been upgraded. There's Wi-Fi in the lab. 2. Quality of food is good at a cheap rate. Everything is subsidised here. You can have a hearty meal within Rs.40. We have a TT room where most of our time after class is spent.
Faculty: 1. Our professors are really qualified and we continuously learn from them, both inside and outside our classroom. They're friendly and always open to discussion and debates. You can any time approach any teacher in their room regarding a doubt and they will explain it to you without a second thought. 2. It's more relevant for Ph.D. not as much for corporate sector I feel. The only programming language were taught is STATA.
