The library is quite good, and the study material is updated with time.

Placements: After B2 level, that is after B.A. 3rd year, a student of the German language becomes eligible for a job in MNCs. There are opportunities in special agencies, embassies, and also you can teach in schools and colleges after B2. If you've done C2, then you can apply anywhere. There's no open placement facility on our campus.

Infrastructure: There are so many festivals like Holi, Deepawali, Durga Puja, Janmashtami, Saraswati Pooja etc. That we celebrate in JNU. Saraswati Puja is celebrated in January, Holi in March, Deepawali in October, November, and Janmashtami in August and September. There's a wider range of books in our library. The Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) library has over 500,000 books, plus audiovisual items and over 10,000 sprint journals. The library also offers online access to more than 20,000 journals. The library adds about 10,000 books each year based on suggestions from students and faculty. It also subscribes to around 1,000 journals and 1,000 serials that people often use to play in the sports complex of JNU. There are AC rooms, and we'll electrify the rooms. Fans, ventilation, and for presentations, there is well-availability of the equipment in every classroom.

Faculty: The ratio of faculty to students is approximately 1:30. Every batch gets quality education. There are also many exchange programs. One can go to another country by applying for scholarships. Then, the exam is conducted, and the students get funds from the same company. The faculty guides students with their best efforts. They teach us with their whole heart and knowledge. We can interact with the faculty whenever we have genuine issues or queries regarding the syllabus.

You can get a lot of career and personality development opportunities.

Placements: There were many companies offering internships in marketing and finance, as well as other streams. The average stipend from each company was 20,000 per month. Most of the companies were located outside our state. I completed my project report on the stock market in India with the full support and guidance of our faculty.

Infrastructure: Many festivals representing different religions, states, and cultures are held at JNU. The campus life is vibrant, offering experiences like camping, marathons, quizzes, drama, dance, singing, skating, sports, and many others. JNU boasts India's biggest library, the Dr. B.R. Ambedkar Library. Some centers have better classrooms than others. Many students run singing, dancing, and skating clubs.

Faculty: The faculty-to-student ratio is one mentor for every 30 students. I really liked Dr. Anjana; she was very polite and her helpful nature attracted me. The best faculty member was Dr. Anjana. There was also a teacher named Anubhav, whose nature was arrogant, which I didn’t like, but he left the college after some time. Mid-term exams and weekly tests were conducted before the semester exams, with 35% of students failing to clear them. The course curriculum was fully relevant.

India's lowest price MCA offline course.

Placements: The last year batch, approx. 50% of students were placed in the on-campus placement season. The remaining 20% are also placed off campus. The average salary is 4-5 lpa, the lowest is 3 lpa and the highest is 12 lpa. Top recruiting companies are Optum, Ciena, Efiya, and Desicions. Internships can only get through off-campus.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure of our school is not as attractive as that of other schools, and the hostel infrastructure is not very attractive either. However, the pricing is very affordable. The hostel food is better than many hostels and there are canteens at every road on campus. The medical facilities are great, and sports and games facilities are available in each hostel.

Faculty: The teachers are very helpful and have excellent knowledge in their fields. The semester exams are not that difficult, and if we study properly in class, we can get good marks. The pass percentage is 100%, so no student fails here. The course curriculum is relevant, but they start with so many basic subjects that we have already studied in the BCA course. Then, in the next semester, they suddenly shift to hard subjects. But overall, the course curriculum is fine.

Other: I was always interested in choosing this course from this university. So, I worked hard to crack the cue and get admitted. However, I wish the infrastructure could be improved, and the teachers could be more helpful in placing students.

The college has a large campus for their students.

Placements: In fact, this college provides better placement for the students, but the more hard work a student puts in, the higher placements they can get, and all those placements are being provided on behalf of foreign companies, with approximately more than INR 15–25 lacs. Students can get that opportunity, which can build their lives. If they see that, because there are various opportunities for the job, one can get a good placement with a better performance in this course. If someone is unable to get a placement, then they can start their own business with the intense ability to make apps, website and so on.

Infrastructure: The size of the rooms is average with the basic necessities provided in them, i.e., a bed, a cupboard, a fan, a table, and a chair. Each hostel has its own mess with a menu that is very diverse. The quality of the food is ever-changing. One can avail of hostel facilities at a cheap rate of about INR 3000 a year. If one wants to rent a room, the nearest places are Munirka and Vasant Kunj. Hostel Fee: INR 3000 per year.

Faculty: I graduated with a BCA so I am doing a masters in computer application. The JNU School of System Science faculty is good and the MCA course has 58 students. The ratio between teacher and students is 12:58. The teaching methods of our teachers are the best; they are teaching us like Ph.D. holders. There are four semesters in the MCA course and it's not difficult to pass the exam. Class size: 66 The course costs INR 4000 per year.

Review of Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU).

Placements: Most of the students get placed. The average package offered is 7 LPA. The highest package offered is 14 LPA. The lowest package is about 3 LPA. Top recruiting companies are Optum, Effia Technologies, and Nagarro. Most of the students get internships too. If one is interested in doing projects under any professor, he can do. Nagarro came for internships too. Most of the companies came for the SDE role.

Infrastructure: I belong to Mahi Hostel. Wi-Fi available in the hostel is good. The condition of the rooms is okay. You have to arrange your own mattress. The quality of mess food is good. There are water issues in the hostel sometimes. The mess fee is around 3,000-3,400. The room rent is Rs. 60 per semester.

Faculty: The teachers in our college are very helpful. They are always ready to solve our doubts. Some professors are from IITs. The teaching quality is very good. Some of the subjects are not relevant. You have to focus mostly on DSA for companies. Semester exams are not very difficult. Most of the students get 7+ CGPA (out of 9). Attendance is not mandatory.

Other: This is one of the best institutes for doing MCA in India. The fee structure is affordable, and the teachers are good. Financially weaker students get 2000 rupees per month as a scholarship. Courses related to web-development should be introduced to our curriculum. There are many cultural events held in our university.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is JNU MCA entrance tough?

ShikshaGPT says

JNU MCA admission is based on a valid Central University Entrance Test (Postgraduate) CUET-PG score. CUET PG is an all-India-level entrance exam conducted by the National Testing Agency (NTA). According to test-takers, the General Test was easy and the Domain Knowledge section was moderate to tough. Although the questions were on the expected lines and within the CUET PG syllabus but according to some students, a few questions were out of the syllabus and tricky. So, the JNU MCA entrance is not very tough but can be tricky.
