It is a very good college, and I am satisfied with it.
Placements: The passing percentage is above 90%. I don't know exactly but most of the students went opted for the Ph.D. course. Students got internships in many companies like NHRC, DRDO, etc. I don't know exactly.
Infrastructure: Our college provides facilities like Wi-Fi, labs, and very good and comfortable classrooms. The hostel facility and food are affordable. Its charges are around Rs. 3,000-3,500 to live at the campus. The library, hostels, mess facility, events, political participation, etc., are very good and enjoyable. Our college provides good infrastructure and facilities like a medical room, an indoor game room, sports, classrooms, a library, etc.
Faculty: Teachers are too helpful and qualified form top universities across world. Course curriculum is very good and gives a chance to pursue higher education in abroad. Course is moderate to tough but easily learnable and understandable, so overall it is too good.
Other: Students get a chance to study at higher platforms.

A University where everything is FREE.
Placements: Most students do not wish to be placed as JNU itself is a life time placement. There is complete freedom to do anything. One can eat anything, drink anything smoke anything. In fact it is so free that everything is paid by people of India. Infrastructure, rooms etc. Its like 5 star property with just 10 rs a month. Food electricity every thing is Free. In fact you get paid for just passing time and enjoying discussing high level issues like How we can divide India in smaller states.
Infrastructure: Superb it is a five star property. Rooms are big with attached Bathrooms. And complete furniture. You to pay a lot for this which is approximately INR 10 per month. Of course after paying so much they provide free Food, Water, Electricity, Wi-Fi, and medical facilities. One has to spend lot of time at variuos Adds where we are tuaght to shout slogans and protest.
Faculty: Teachers and professors are from Left and have been trained to save themselves from the highly intellectual students of JNU. Most students stay in the state of Nirvana. The discussions are encouraged with slogan shouting protests and even Police can not do anything to the students.
Other: Just to enjoy in JNU and have freedom of expression.
