It is a good university.

Placements: I'm a student of international relations at the university, so the department provides an excellent exposure and brilliant offerings of educational culture. There are no such typical placements. As a student of arts and international relations, there are no such placements.

Infrastructure: As a state public university, there is no high-tech or luxury infrastructure, but a sustainable one, with high-quality academics and quality and vintage classrooms. There is a free Wi-Fi facility all over campus. We get an average food quality in the canteen. Sports and games are diverse. The library contains the best materials.

Faculty: Jadavpur University comprises an excellent quality of educators and professors. All of them are excellently qualified. They are the educators of this prestigious institution. Semester exams contain quality, and the faculty provides an overview of all theories and critical thinking.

Other: This course is a very famous course all over the country, so I chose it. Jadavpur University is the oldest institution in India to provide courses in international relations, and this course provides a diverse political knowledge and knowledge in international relations and world politics. So this is one of the best courses for humanities students. Jadavpur University is the best institution that provides this course at the bachelor's level. The annual fest of Sanskriti is the largest college fest in West Bengal.

Review of Jadavpur University.

Placements: Packages offered for engineering students are top-notch, but for the B.A. students, packages are not quite sure. Internships are best. As far as I know, the highest package in our university is 10 crore per annum. At least 80% of students will get guaranteed internships.

Infrastructure: For the infrastructure, I would rate 7 out of 10. We do have libraries and Wi-Fi. We even have digital libraries and separate departmental libraries.

Faculty: Exams are held semester-wise. It makes students ready for exams. After the new NEP policy, it has become tough for students to gain great marks but good enough. The highest pass percentage is 8 CGPA. I would recommend students join this university as it is the best at least in my state. Professors are good, but most of them teach in the vernacular, so it might be tough for non-Bengal students.

Other: Jadavpur University is basically free so students who cannot afford tuition can join this university. Fests are held for a month. We have a lot of fests and extracurricular activities.

I am dissatisfied with the administration, especially the controller of the examinations office.

Placements: The percentage of students placed ranges from 12% to 15% since the placement cell of the English Department, in terms of undergraduate courses, is defunct. Course packages are not specific due to the lack of placement opportunities. The top recruiting company for our course is TCS, in the Human Resources department. The top roles and the percentage of students who get assured internships are unclear due to the lack of information regarding the same.

Infrastructure: Course facilities and infrastructure include an audio-visual room, internship opportunities under professors (with vague details available), and internship opportunities in the JU PRESS. Our departmental library has an incredible collection of literature across all spheres of English Literary studies. Hostel facilities are more or less abysmal. The quality of food available is borderline poor, as most canteens offer the same dishes every day, and sometimes the food is undercooked. Medical facilities are almost nonexistent, but facilities for disabled persons are being gradually built. Sports and games are mostly available to men.

Faculty: The professors of the English Department are extremely accomplished individuals with a diverse array of knowledge in intersectional studies. They are helpful and considerate, although sometimes they tend to ignore major issues in the department. The course curriculum is relevant in terms of academia, especially for those who want to pursue Literature for higher studies. This course has a syllabus different from most college curriculums in India, as it focuses more on intersectionality than on the objective evaluation of a text, which is the rising trend of new criticism across all spheres of academia. Semester exams are extremely difficult, and the pass percentage is 35%.

Other: I choose this course because the department is one of the best in the world, and the outlook they have collectively adopted towards literature is unmatched and eternal. Improvement in the course could include better placement opportunities. There are huge events in JU, ranging from cultural events to literary fests to debate competitions. JU tends to excel in most. The campus environment and crowd are very laid-back in a way. The administration is slow in their work and maintenance of university grounds, but the campus environment is charged with freedom and its risks.

A university where quality education meets low fees and excellent faculty.

Placements: You can sit for placements only after completing a Master's from this department. The highest placement this year was 16.45 lacs, and the average was 10.4 lacs. Many renowned companies hire directly from this department, like Deloitte, HSBC, Citibank, KPMG, and TCS.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure is not that good compared to private universities. But keeping in mind the fees you pay, it's average. The toilets remain mostly unclean, and the Wi-Fi is inconsistent. The classrooms in our department are good, with air conditioning. There are two computer labs and a departmental library.

Faculty: The faculty is excellent; each member is renowned and the best in their respective field. They are very helpful, and the Ph.D. scholars also help when you face difficulties. The course is rigorous but the best in the whole state. You need to sit for a 10-mark exam every Monday, and there are two semester exams conducted every year.

Exploring Jadavpur University, A blend of thinking.

Placements: On average 90% of students get placements. About 18 LPA is the highest paid and 2.4 LPA is the lowest paid. Many companies come here to hire students. Many students got intern about 90% of students get internships. WBCS officer is the most common role in our department.

Infrastructure: There are free Wi-Fi for students. The hostel in the main campus is too good but the main hostel is a little problematic due to ragging. But the campus is eco-friendly and helpful. The classrooms and library are awesome. Every department has its library also there is a Central Library.

Faculty: Courses are really good for thinking and personal development and also societal development. Of course, the courses are curriculum relevant. Students learn here a lot. Semester exams are quite difficult but if you research properly and study you will get it.

Your perception wouldn't ever be the same if you visit the college once.

Placements: The English department doesn't provide placements; rather, we can get recommended by professors, which might take us a long way. Being aware of the lack of it, the students are proactive in their approach—always seeking out opportunities and internships; the interdisciplinary nature of the department allows students to pan out in areas of filmography, journalism, curation, art, philosophy, writers, teachers, critics, even in mathematics if they choose to, founders of organizations, and much more. Our curriculum makes us very vocal and aware of some key factors for leadership and heading on in life.

Infrastructure: We have free Wi-Fi across campus, along with departmental libraries that are stocked with relevant books, journals, and articles. We have a central library and two other common libraries, which total around 40 libraries. Our classrooms have AC with projectors and boards. Hostels are very much up and running, but since I have not availed of them, I cannot vouch for their quality. So far as the campus is concerned, canteen food is quite decent, and the market outside the gate is booming with food stalls and other daily essentials. Sports is well practiced here, as our university actively ventures out to represent in many areas like chess, football, mountaineering, and hiking.

Faculty: The professors are extremely qualified and passionate about what they teach and are very expensive in their lives. This course curriculum is as relevant as it can get, being the first curriculum in post-independence India to have a post-structuralist and anti-establishment syllabus critical for coping with the current capitalistic and branching world so that we can have our own stand with valid philosophy. This approach is crucial for the "industry," as progressive and youth-led organizations, which are the future of this industry, are nourished by these qualities. The semester exams are very tricky, and it's difficult depending on how regularly one has attended classes, read the recommended material, and gone beyond the curriculum.

Other: I chose this course to be a professor in this field, and it was the right choice because of the unconventional and progressive curriculum topped with excellent professors. Interacting even with peers can provide a lot of connections and networking, as no one is sitting still and is active well outside the curriculum and campus. Same goes for professors. We have seminars, displays, debates, dramas, festivals, and calls from other institutions to perform all the time. Apart from that, we have our annual fest Sanskriti three times a year, along with some other fests held by the engineering faculty members.
