M.A. in International Relations and Area Studies - Batch of 2018
Offered by Jawaharlal Nehru University
4.4
2Placements5Infrastructure5Faculty5Crowd & Campus Life5Value for Money
JNU - Jawaharlal Nehru University is the best.
Placements: There is no working placement cell. The political parties are here for their own interests. There are some, but they work for only economics students. There is a need of placement cell. Students are capable of getting jobs in many sectors.
Infrastructure: The campus is very good. But there is a need to change in some of the areas, like the greenery. There is a need for some betterment in air-conditioner in classrooms. Everything is going to be good. It is highly recommended for students. Students are from a poor background, and they are satisfied with the present infrastructure.
Faculty: Every professor is highly qualified, and they know what to teach and what not. They use a projector for better understanding. The quality of teaching is very good. The faculty to student ratio is good. I didn't get industry exposure. Faculty members at JNU are the best.
