Great campus life with excellent learning experience.
Placements: Its a foreign language course, and one can not have many expectations regarding jobs. But one thing is for sure if one knows how to have a conversation in a language. He can become an interpreter. There are also jobs regarding translation as tour guides. Freelancing can be a good option. One can expect a maximum of 4 LPA- 5 LPA. Minimum 2 LPA-3 LPA are offered. There is no official data so I can't provide exact data.
Infrastructure: There are 18 hostels, all equipped with mess facility bills ranging Rs. 2500 to Rs. 3500. Classrooms are in good condition some have ACs most don't. There are also gyms in many hostels. There is a stadium. There is a fully equipped health center all for free. Canteens are there in every building with nominal prices.
Faculty: Professors are qualified and friendly. The teaching quality is excellent. There are 2 semesters, monsoon and winter, with 2 or 3 sessional exams and end sem. Course curriculum is up to date. There are many interactive sessions with Russian teachers and authors. Semester exams maintain a good level, pass percentage is better as the sessional passes by.
Other: This course is a good option if one is thinking of doing something different. I mean learning a language while in college will help you later get a job, which sounds good. If you get languages like Japanese, Korean, or Chinese packages are good, between 10 LPA-15 LPA. Some things can be improved like having more modern equipment for learning a language like language labs which are there in some languages not in most. All year many events happen that keep students engaged. The campus crowd is excellent everyone is interesting. Campus is in South Delhi good for connectivity. The campus is lush green with nilgais.

B.A. (Hons.) in French - Batch of 2028

3Placements4Infrastructure5Faculty5Crowd & Campus Life5Value for Money
Satisfied with infrastructure, facilities, and teaching approach.
Placements: Placements rate is often too low for French hons course. The French is widely spoken around the world so there are not adequate amount of opportunities. Although, there are jobs of translation and interpretation often paying around 5 LPA-6 LPA. The best is to continue in French till Ph.D. and to be a professor at some university that's the best career option for Indian students.
Infrastructure: There are three buildings only for cultural and linguistic studies. Classrooms are big enough with comfortable benches and air-conditioners, campus has 24/7 Wi-Fi facility, 24/7 library, and reading rooms. There are language labs where students can translate real-time video and listen to real-time communication. Hostels also have 24/7 Wi-Fi facility, tasty food, and good infrastructure at their price. As the fee is only Rs. 268 so for that price the hostels and their facilities are excellent. There is a separate mess bill that amounts to around Rs. 3000 per month, it justifies its cost by taste.
Faculty: All the teachers here are Ph.D. scholars, they've been to foreign universities for their linguistic studies which makes them very skilled in their professions. They are very helpful, they keep an eye on every student, record performances, and schedule classes accordingly. The course is well designed with 4 core subjects like grammar, phonetics, communication approach, and culture. Teachers give a deep understanding of these subjects that makes students work ready for their respective country. Semester exams are medium to hard level, questions are from the syllabus only and there are grades system. C- is the minimum to pass in any subject.
Other: I wanted to learn French and make a career in this only. So I joined this university, the best in India for linguistic studies. There is a good environment for learning on campus. Enthusiastic students to share knowledge and fun with. There is a political environment too in campus, the whole year is happening. There are political events or college fests like Kallol that are ultimate fun.

If one has no option, then come to this college.
Placements: It is my first year but I know seniors who got placements last year with salary package of 10 LPA. The highest salary package offered is 33 LPA, but it was an off-campus placement. I also know a second-year student who is doing an internship at MNIT Jaipur and has received offers for an internship from IIT Delhi.
Infrastructure: The course and hostel infrastructure available here are very bad because there is no building for classes on this campus. We have been living in a dormitory for four months and have not been assigned a hostel. New hostels and buildings for engineering students are under construction.
Faculty: Some teachers are very helpful but others are not. Teachers have very little experience but their qualifications are good, though not 100%. Semester exam level is normal and some teachers give questions directly from notes. Pass percentage is approximately 85.
Other: I want to share that if one really wants to do computer science, try not to come to this college. If one has no option, then one can come.

The strange face of JNU.
Placements: Mostly 21 students are placed in some high MNCs after completing their masters degree. The average amount which mostly get is around 5 LPA - 6 LPA. Most of the students in their 3rd year get paid internships for the role of interpreter or translator before their degree.
Infrastructure: The living quality is okay compared to what we pay for but sometimes we don't have water in our dormitory and sometimes even Wi-Fi doesn't work. But the medical facility is good and free of any cost for students which is quite good. If you consider this is a government college.
Faculty: Teachers are very interactive, kind, and good. But few are not apart from the indefinite exam pattern, and nothing else disturbs. The exams are quite easy to pass if you attend classes and participate in class activities. It helps to learn language in more practical way.
Other: I would say that the students host intra-hostel, inter-school types of competition in sports from time to time. Also, there are freshers and farewell at each center so it's quite enjoyable to attend those.

I think JNU is the best university in India.
Placements: Placements in JNU are quite good as it is one of the best universities in India. The highest package for bachelor degrees last year was around 14 lakhs with the average package of 6 lakhs. We also have a placement cell on campus, Around 60% of students get internships in MNCs.
Infrastructure: The facilities are good for all students studying at JNU. We have a library, wifi on the whole campus, smart classroom. The quality of mess food is average and very affordable, with free medical facilities for all students as well as sports facilities and a stadium on campus.
Faculty: Professors at JNU are highly qualified and knowledgeable. They put a lot of effort into teaching. The curriculum is also relevant and makes the students industry-ready. Semester exams are moderately difficult and the passing percentage is around 85-90%.
Other: JNU is the best college for students who want the best education at the cheapest price. College life is amazing here the crowd is very progressive and friendly and it's a very happening place

The course of ECE is not good but very beautiful campus with a great engaging and good campus life.
Placements: For the B.Tech in ECE course, our school never provided any placements. A few ECE batch students were placed as Software Engineers, which they did by themselves. The highest package offered in our batch was 6.5 LPA. Amdocs took most of students from the School of Engineering, while other companies rarely placed anyone in the ECE batch. Very rarely any ECE students did any internships, and those who did were usually software engineering interns, they went out off-campus for that. For our course, no roles were offered. Most of students went For GATE/NET or government job preparations.
Infrastructure: We had a building in tin shade, where classes used to be run. A new building is now under construction for the School of Engineering. Classrooms were beautiful and well prepared with all facilities, from AC to microphones and projectors, etc. Hostels were very old, a few were clean and good and a few were very dirty with broken furniture and windows. The food quality was normal, neither very good nor very bad you can eat. The canteen and medical facilities were quite good, the canteen was up to 3 a.m., in the morning and free medicine and sports facilities were also good, and one student recently played in the Paralympics in Paris.
Faculty: A few faculty members were very highly knowledgeable, while others were very poor. All they could do was read PPTs in class and were unable to answer questions in class put up by students. I would rate the teaching 3.5–4/5. The course was totally relevant, except we never got industry experience in the school. Exams were moderately tough, except for exams of professors like Rakesh Patney, who used to fail 80–90% of students in his class. In other subjects, 80–85% of passed exams.
Other: I chose this course because I came from a poor family, and my parents were unable to afford high-fee institutions. JNU provided a fee rebate based on financial standards, and besides that, JNU is a brand in itself. The best thing about the ECE course was that it gave me a lot of free time, so can do things of my interest, prepare for exams, or build skills. plus, the JNU campus gives very good exposure to Indian politics. I wished faculty members had been more helpful and kind toward students, as they were very rude. Fests, events, and extracurricular activities were happening at that time.
