Other: I was interested in economies along with something related to trade. Hence I chose this course which provides a specialisation in trade. There should be more of coding assignments which would help the students. The campus crowd is superb. Connectivity is also good, and it takes just 15 minutes to drive to the campus from Hauz Khas metro station.

Jawaharlal Nehru University.
Placements: The placement cell is very good in the campus. Many companies come every year. Placements takes place at different schools and departments like economics, computer Science etc. When we talk about economics department, the average package is around 10 lpa. Also there is a central placement cell which was started in 2017.
Infrastructure: Jawaharlal Nehru University was established in 1969. So the campus completes 50 year this year. The greenery, buildings, deers etc. Makes the campus worth studying. Hostels are also old at the same time neat and clean. As I said the buildings are 50 years old. So they won't look good, still they are clean.
Faculty: One of the best faculty members in India. Almost all the faculty members did their Ph.D. from foreign universities like harvard, MIT, California university, Oxford etc. Course is very tough. But teacher student interactions makes the campus the best. Recently jawaharlal Nehru University was ranked 2 in National institute ranking frame (nirf).
