It is the best university for the M.Sc. in Physics course.
Placements: Our college has excellent placement statistics and about 90-95% of students get placed. The maximum salary package ranges from 15-30 LPA, and the minimum package ranges from 2-7 LPA. The average salary usually ranges between 11-20 LPA. Top recruiting companies for our course include ISRO, BARC, TIFR, etc. About 85% of students got internships. Roles offered include research scientist, data scientist, etc.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure and facilities provided by the college are very good. Each student gets a Wi-Fi limit of 10 GB per day and in the computer science room, it is unlimited. Labs and classrooms are large and well-maintained. Every student is assigned a senior mentor who helps them with any problems during the first year. Hostel food quality is really terrible.
Faculty: Teachers are well-qualified, knowledgeable, and supportive. The teaching style could be a bit better. Studies are conducted with careful consideration of appropriateness. The content taught in courses involves a technical concept. Testing is easy, and just relevant knowledge from the text is required. The pass percentage is more than 70%.

Teachers are friendly and supportive.
Placements: Placement at JNU College is good. Companies like D. E. Shaw, Deloitte USI, Ernst & Young, McKinsey & Company, Boston Consulting Group, Accenture, Genpact Risk Consulting LLP, Brain Capability Network, and TriVista, but also forged new relations with companies like Bank of America, Sattva Consulting, and Mother Dairy, have visited 135+ companies and offered an average of INR 6.02 LPA. Placement session 2020–21 was a great success. During this session, a total of 131 students from diverse academic backgrounds were placed via cell. Roughly 5–7% of students get placement. I plan to prepare for the civil service exam.
Infrastructure: For the new students, you will first receive DORMATIORY from the university administration. And after some months, you will receive hostels according to your rank. In your room, you will receive a bed, a chair and a table, which are basic needs for a student. The availability of electricity and water is 24 hours a day, and a water cooler is available in all hostels and in winter for hot water. All hostels have their own mess with a fresh meal and at the end of every month, you will also receive a special dinner. The quality of the food is very good. Every day you will be served a new meal and every month the menu of the mess is changed and you will enjoy a good and healthy meal daily. The mess bill for every month is between INR 2,000 and INR 3,000. And about the hostel, in one room, two students can live easily. It is a very decent room. If we go outside the university area, the cost of a room is INR 8,000–10,000 per month in Munirka and Buddha Vihar. And the hostel fee is nominal—120 rupees per year.
Faculty: The teachers were very helpful. They provided us with great lessons and the practical classes were very helpful. I want solid-state physics here and hope to be a teacher in the near future. There are two special streams for masters in physics: astrophysics and solid-state physics. I opted for the second one. I hope I can be a good teacher in the near future with all the experience I gathered from my college days.

Review of Jawaharlal Nehru University.
Placements: Our college provides placements in very few companies. A large number of students want to pursue Ph.D. or go for a job and some like to join the industry. Remaining students prepare for UPSC. Alumni of our university are doing well across the globe.
Infrastructure: Buildings are good, but the hostel condition is slightly bad. It must be repair or rebuilt. Free Wi-Fi is provided with a good network speed. There are two types of libraries, school library and central library. Some reading rooms are open 24x7. Lab equipment quality is the best.
Faculty: The course curriculum is good but could be better with some industrial exposure.
Other: Our university is one of the top-ranked universities. Faculty members are the best with good education and great standard. Students can learn and explore many things beyond their studies. The faculty members are very helpful and encouraging.

Very much satisfied with the environment of our university and facilities.
Placements: The college is great. One of my close friends got a job in KV in Delhi, and the starting salary is 60,000 per month, which is pretty good. It will increase with time. The highest package offered is around 1.2 lacs per month. The average salary is 50,000-70,000 per month.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure is one of the best. A library, reading hall, hostels and mess facilities are good. Unlike most of the university hostels, the food in our mess is pretty good. Wi-Fi service is good but can't be said uninterrupted. Labs are remarkable.
Faculty: The teachers are well qualified and very helpful with the research work and personal issues that students face in the beginning phase of hostel life (homesickness) etc. The curriculum in this course can be said a little outdated, but I think the basics are the same. The exams aren't very easy and can be said to be on the difficult side if you haven't studied properly.

The college provides opportunities for students, and the campus is lush green.
Placements: The placement cell organises many interview sessions for students in all Branches. Few students from M.Sc. department pursue PhD while a few students join private sectors. But the placement percentage is low. A few students also get an internship opportunity. The stipend offered to students is Rs. 7,000 per month.
Infrastructure: The campus life is awesome. The academic environment helps students excel in their studies and extracurricular activities. Due to recent fund-cut, the classrooms and labs are not well-equipped. The campus is Wi-Fi enabled. Medical Facilities are available for free, but many doctors available are not well practised for the job. The library has peaceful reading halls. Hostel facility is good, and the food served in the hostel is also good.
Faculty: Professors in our college are very helpful and student-friendly. All are PhD holders from top national and international universities. They are highly-skilled in their research work. A few professors are not skilled, though. But the overall impression of faculty is great. The student to faculty ratio is 10:1.
Other: Many seminars are conducted regularly. The institute conduct of activities and one can call JNU as Mini India.
