Great campus life with excellent learning experience.
Placements: Its a foreign language course, and one can not have many expectations regarding jobs. But one thing is for sure if one knows how to have a conversation in a language. He can become an interpreter. There are also jobs regarding translation as tour guides. Freelancing can be a good option. One can expect a maximum of 4 LPA- 5 LPA. Minimum 2 LPA-3 LPA are offered. There is no official data so I can't provide exact data.
Infrastructure: There are 18 hostels, all equipped with mess facility bills ranging Rs. 2500 to Rs. 3500. Classrooms are in good condition some have ACs most don't. There are also gyms in many hostels. There is a stadium. There is a fully equipped health center all for free. Canteens are there in every building with nominal prices.
Faculty: Professors are qualified and friendly. The teaching quality is excellent. There are 2 semesters, monsoon and winter, with 2 or 3 sessional exams and end sem. Course curriculum is up to date. There are many interactive sessions with Russian teachers and authors. Semester exams maintain a good level, pass percentage is better as the sessional passes by.
Other: This course is a good option if one is thinking of doing something different. I mean learning a language while in college will help you later get a job, which sounds good. If you get languages like Japanese, Korean, or Chinese packages are good, between 10 LPA-15 LPA. Some things can be improved like having more modern equipment for learning a language like language labs which are there in some languages not in most. All year many events happen that keep students engaged. The campus crowd is excellent everyone is interesting. Campus is in South Delhi good for connectivity. The campus is lush green with nilgais.

A glimpse to JNU - A HOME .
Placements: In 2023, the average package offered to UG graduates was Rs. 8 LPA, and to PG graduates, it was Rs. 9.50 to Rs. 10 LPA. Top recruiters included Cradlepoint, Optum, and Salesforce. There are a lot of internships for students provided by the Russian embassy and ambassador managers.
Infrastructure: Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) in New Delhi, India, has many facilities and infrastructure, including a central library. It is a nine-story building with a carpet area of 100,000 square feet. It has a collection of books, periodicals, journals, newspapers, and e-books. There are several hostels and residential quarters for students, faculty, and non-teaching staff.
Faculty: Teachers are very well-qualified. They have done their Ph.D. and also have teaching experience. My course is very demanding in this era, and it makes it easier for foreign tourists to explore India. College exams are not difficult, but there are 4 exams in each semester.
Other: The reason to choose this course is that JNU offers only foreign languages in its undergraduate program, and I chose the Russian language because of my affection towards it. Students with low family income (less than 2.5 Lacs) are given a scholarship of 2000 per month.

Best and honest review of Jawaharlal Nehru University.
Placements: Most of the students get placements in the final year of the degree. The average salary package offered was 6 LPA. MNCs and embassies offer jobs in my course. If we go for Master's studies, then we get the opportunity to study in foreign universities.
Infrastructure: Infrastructure is very good. Hostel food is very good and the menu is decided by the students. There is a health center for students, free of charge. There is also a stadium for every game. Every hostel has a separate badminton court.
Faculty: Faculty members are helpful, qualified, and knowledgeable. Quality of teaching is excellent. Curriculum is relevant. If regularly attend the classes, the exam is not tough. Pass percentage of every semester is 4 CGPA. This is the best university according to NAAC ranking.
Other: I am interested in languages, so I chose this course. Foreign teachers also come to teach us. Students should communicate with each other in their course language. There is no fest in JNU, but cultural nights of each state take place.

Review of Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi.
Placements: There is a placement cell in the university. We receive placements from companies after completing our degree. The highest salary package offered was 7 LPA. Most of the students work in the government sector. Almost 90% of students from my college get jobs.
Infrastructure: We get 24/7 free Wi-Fi in the college and hostel as well. Labs are not in very good condition, some computers are not working properly. Classrooms are in very good condition and are clean. Library consists of 10 floors with an uncountable number of books. Quality of food in the mess and canteen is also good.
Faculty: Faculty members are very helpful and highly qualified. This course helps students improve their communication skills and prepares them to work in any foreign industry or country. Semester exams are difficult. Passing CGPA is 4.
Other: I love to learn foreign languages and work abroad, so I chose this course. There are proper events held for many things. For each state, there are organised events. Campus is very large and green. There are many options for extracurricular activities, such as the dance club, drama club, debating club, etc. Monthly scholarship is also given to all students.

Q:   Which courses of JNU are under CUET?
ShikshaGPT says
A: 

Admission to Jawaharlal Nehru University BA (Hons) in Foreign Languages, BSc-MSc Integrated Programme in Ayurveda Biology and Certificate of Proficiencey (COP) courses is through CUET (UG).

Q:   I have scored less than 50% in 12th boards. Can I get admission in regular college for B.Tech?
ShikshaGPT says
A: 

For most colleges, the basic eligibility criteria for admission in the BTech programme requires the applicants to score a minimum aggregate of 45-75% in Class 12 or its equivalent, depending on the course, specialisations, and college selected by the students. However, the selection for BTech courses in a majority of colleges, including JNU is done on the basis of valid score obtained by the students in the entrance exams such as JEE Main, MHT CET, etc. Hence, it can not be said surely if one can secure their admission in a regular college if they have scored less than 50% in their Class 12 boards. In case a student is unable to get admission in regular college, they can check out Online BTech courses offered by colleges.
