Want to become a development extensionist.
Placements: From the batch that passed out in 2022, almost 60% of students were placed. Top recruiting companies were Bachpan Bachao Andolan, Kailash Satyarthi Children Foundation, and Etasha Society. Every student is placed by the department for fieldwork in the 2nd year in different NGOs.
Infrastructure: Basic facilities provided by the department are free Wi-Fi, an in-built library, a purified water facility, spacious classrooms, a garden, and corridors. Hostel is pretty good. Food available in the canteen is also nice. All students of Jamia get free medical services.
Faculty: Faculty members are very helpful, highly qualified, and knowledgeable. Teaching quality is good, and every concept is taught in a very simple, easy-to-understand language. Course curriculum is highly relevant to the development area and prepares students to be industry-ready. Semester exams are of moderate difficulty, with a pass percentage of 98%-100%.
Other: I chose this course because it provides on-ground fieldwork, allowing students to understand the real-life challenges of society. I received a position scholarship from Jamia Millia Islamia.

Highly supportive faculty members, hands-on experience in the NGO sector and a peaceful campus.
Placements: There are no placements for my course in JMI. But the students usually find some fellowships or jobs with the help of the department and some of the students are interested in pursuing a Ph.D. also. They also look for jobs in allied sectors such as public policy and sustainability.
Infrastructure: There are Wi-Fi and lab facilities in the department. However, the facilities in the lab and the course teaching method are obsolete. The hostel is so nice with a vibrant academic community and reading halls. The rooms are big, neat and tidy. The food is also better than PGs.
Faculty: The teachers were helpful, especially if you want to go to the research/NGO field. The course curriculum is relevant but the method of teaching does not comply with modern technologies. The teachers are still following the obsolete way of teaching, which is boring.
Other: The course is good if you want to get employed in an NGO or to get into a Ph.D. in similar disciplines.

Development extension - Professional course.
Placements: Only 30% of students got placed in that year. The highest package was 5 LPA, and the lowest was 2 LPA. Mostly students got placed in NGOs such as Bachpan Bachao Andolan, Kailash Satyarthi Children Foundation, and Hope Ngo. All the students of 2nd year were placed in NGOs for the internships. The top roles offered were assistant project officer and HR Recruiter.
Infrastructure: All the students had access to Wi-Fi and library. Library at Jamia was very good, and the classrooms of the department were average. The hostel was very good. The quality of food was also good.
Faculty: Teachers were very helpful and knowledgeable. Teachers taught very well according to the curriculum. The course curriculum was good but not so good. Somehow, students face difficulties in getting placed and being industry-ready. The semester exams were easy, and mostly every student pass the exams. Faculty members were good. Some teachers taught very well, and some were average.
Other: I chose this course as it was similar to social work, and also they placed students in various NGOs for field work. I want they could let the students choose a dissertation for masters.
