There are three boys' hostels and two girls' hostels on campus, with affordable fees of INR 5,000 per month, including food. The quality of the food is moderately good. A playground, a basketball court, and proximity to KPC Hospital (1 km away) add to the convenience.
    Faculty: Each semester consists of four papers, each worth 50 marks. Internal assessments contribute 20 marks, while 30 marks are for the main semester exam.

    Jadavpur University Review.
    Placements: While Jadavpur University offers a highly active placement cell for its engineering faculty. The same cannot be said for its arts faculty, where the placement cell seems less active and attracts visits from only a few media companies. As a student with a keen interest in academics, I choose to pursue higher studies elsewhere, benefiting greatly from the training provided by Jadavpur University. Although I am not familiar with the employment outcomes for students who secure jobs or internships through university placement. The success of the engineering faculty at Jadavpur University speaks volumes about its strong placement records.
    Infrastructure: As a publicly funded academic institution, Jadavpur University excels at providing its students with top-notch infrastructure. The campus has well-equipped classrooms, and comprehensive medical facilities. Sports amenities like basketball courts and football grounds, a centrally located library, and specialized departmental libraries tailored to students' diverse academic interests. Canteens serve good-quality food. The hostel accommodations are satisfactory. The expansive campus is adorned with ample greenery and water bodies, offering not just visual appeal but also fresh air. It's important to note that, being a public institution subsidized by the government. Students enjoy these facilities at the minimum tuition rate.
    Faculty: While I can't speak for Jadavpur University as a whole. I can vouch for the professors in my department, History, who are not only highly supportive and qualified but also foster an environment of cooperation. Our classes comprise both lectures and interactive sessions. They encouraging students to pursue their passions. Jadavpur instills in students a sense of rationality, empowering them to challenge conformity and injustice. However, frequent state intervention occasionally impacts the academic atmosphere and curriculum, albeit mainly in administrative areas, which directly affect students.

    Jadavpur University is good for education and freedom.
    Placements: If you are an engineering student, you will get a job after completing your study. But for Arts students, the situation is much more difficult. No other company except some print media house will going to offer you something. You have to depend on yourself.
    Infrastructure: Overall infrastructure and atmosphere are excellent at Jadavpur University. It is a five-star university according to infrastructure. So, you will be able to do classes in an air-conditioned classroom. Hostels are also good. You will find a good atmosphere there.
    Faculty: There has a huge number of faculty members for every department, and they are highly qualified. The syllabus of courses is excellent, and it will help you to crack your upcoming examinations. There has a semester system examination, and you will be able to appear easily.
    Other: There are several reasons for obtaining this course. First of all, I like literature since my childhood more than other subjects, and I found it more suitable for me. Although our department is good enough, it still needs some more faculty. Nothing more to say about the campus. The most powerful things it has that its freedom and free atmosphere. There has a union for students. They will help you in every way. There have several festivals like fests, cultural events, and drama, and the campus has a vast green playground. You will be able to improve your game skill easily.
