Absolutely satisfied with the placement. Really good infrastructure.

Faculty: The teachers are very helpful. They would help you in cracking the GATE exam if you ask them to teach for the GATE exam. The course curriculum is relevant. It makes the student industry-ready. Semester exams are too easy. Pass percentage would be around 95 percent.

Academically enriching with excellent research culture and strong faculty reputation.

Faculty: Teachers are very helpful, very qualified, and knowledgeable. In fact, top lecturers, top writers, and professors like Ranabir Chakraborty and others often take classes. Teaching quality is fantastic. Yes, 90% of people pass, but exams are not too difficult if you understand the classes.

The Metallurgy side of Jadavpur University.

It is good for academics and research.

Faculty: Teachers are excellent, well-experienced, and qualified. Some of them are passouts from Cambridge. The course curriculum is the most radical in the entire country, and it prepares us for a research-based future. Semester exams are usually pretty hard, but we can score good grades if we study the course material. A lot of self-study is involved.

I had a 5-star experience at the cheapest college in India, Jadavpur University, for Civil Engineeri

Faculty: Professors expect results from students like an IIT student. They set the paper too hard, like the GATE exam, and that's why in the civil branch, a significant number of students had paper back in most subjects. All teachers are from IITs. The pass percentage in a semester is around 60 percent. Both theory and practical subjects make students industry-ready, such as transportation engineering, surveying, etc. Except that we can come to this university through the WBJEE exam.

Excellent college to experience true liberal college life along with proper academic progress.

Faculty: Course curriculum could be more relevant to modern times. Teachers and professors are good and helpful, but there is a lack of qualified professors. Faculty is decent. The pass percentage is 40 percent, and semester exams are fairly tough as per the studies. Attendance in classes is necessary, otherwise, examinations will be tough.

It has a green campus and open minds. Review of life at Jadavpur University.

Faculty: JU has some of the most cited researchers in India. In the Physics department, we will find professors who are collaborative with CERN, Fermilab, and top global institutes. Exams are comparatively tough. Getting more than 8.5 CGPA in JU is significantly harder than getting 9.5 in a private university. Questions are conceptual and not memory-based. We must possess a strong academic background.

It has low fees with an incredible placement record.

Faculty: We have to give two class tests per subject in one semester and a final semester paper, which tells how the competitive structure of the exam is held here. All professors are very good and friendly. Our university makes the question paper. There are many research opportunities for students.

Jadavpur University has a legacy of more than a century.

Faculty: Faculty members are a mixed bag. Some are fantastic, some are okay, and some are not very good. They are all highly qualified in their fields, with degrees from IITs, foreign universities, and most are Ph.D. holders with published research work. The course curriculum is almost as good as that of the older IITs, and I can vouch for that. You will gain the required knowledge and industry exposure when you actually work in the field. Semester exams can be rated as moderately difficult to difficult ...

College with the best return on investment.

Faculty: Faculty members are well qualified. Some of them have multiple PhDs. Teaching quality is fair enough, though it varies from teacher to teacher. The course curriculum is restructured starting from the 2025-2029 batch to meet the industry standards and make it relevant. The questions in semester exams are easier in comparison to IITs, but are much lengthier. Exams are of 100 marks with a time limit of 3 hours.
