Absolutely satisfied because of faculty, good placements in 2025, and good infrastructure.

Faculty: Teachers are really very supportive. They have very good knowledge of their subjects. Even our teachers are capable of teaching multiple subjects but due to this sometimes they struggle to make us understand but their knowledge and qualifications are amazing. This course is curriculum relevant and it makes us industry-ready. There are many subjects, which are different from our industry but they serve as a backup plan. Semester exams have their own hardness and easyness aswell. Exams are really ...

I am satisfied with my college, and students with a poor economic background can study here.

Faculty: Professors take the course exam very seriously, as students are given an exam of UPSC. There is no scope for cheating in Korean courses. But there is some leniency in optional courses. Answersheets are checked thoroughly. Nobody can claim that I have given fewer marks. All students are satisfied with their grades if they study hard. In this course, professors also teach students about placements and guide them properly.

A really warm and welcoming college.

Faculty: Teachers are motivating and always open to help. They tried different methods of teaching to engage students, but some skipped classes all semester. Some teachers made the subject more difficult to understand because they are not good at teaching. The best thing about this center is that it feels like home because professors are very kind. The course curriculum is good. Professors also provide us with supplementary books. Exams are neither easy nor difficult. The pass percentage is 98 percent if...

B.A. in Korean Studies at JNU.

Faculty: Teachers are exceptional. They are very friendly and helpful. They all have experience in Korea, so they are almost equivalent to native speakers. The curriculum is good. You will have ample time for your self-studies. Regarding exams, we have 2 sessionals in which you have to pass at least 1 and then the end semester.

Very good placement for the current year (2025–2026). Cultural events happen almost every week.

Faculty: Teachers in my course are really helpful and highly qualified. I would say the teaching quality is excellent. The course curriculum is strictly followed by teachers as well as by students. Coming to semester exams, I would say exams are pretty difficult, not too much, but you have to study daily to get good grades. There are 4 exams in one semester (2 quizzes, mid-semester, and end-semester).

Decent enough college (according to the fee and all).

Faculty: Faculty are like children, they will teach you everything if they like, or they will leave everything if they are not willing to. Some are like they are said to teach on gunpoint, and some are like they just read the topic yesterday and are teaching us today.

A college that is full of natural and intellectual beauty.

Faculty: All the facilities are knowledgeable and well-qualified. Teaching standards are also very good. Standard books are followed as part of the curriculum. We are encouraged to work in teams on real-world projects. So it is making us industry-ready. Exams are, as usual, in engineering colleges, I will regard them as average, neither very tough nor easy.

Our college is overall nice, and it's improving every year.

Faculty: Teachers are nice, and they are well-qualified. Some of them are also very chill and not the typical university professor. Our curriculum is similar to that of IIT Delhi, and it includes everything that the present industry requires. Semester exams are not very difficult, but they are also not very easy, and there is relatively marking in exams.

Good faculty members, not good placements.

Faculty: You'll have top-notch faculty, no doubt about that. You will have faculty who genuinely want to teach. You'll have teachers who have taught in foreign universities and are holding Ph.Ds from IITs. So that's quite good. The curriculum is updated so that it won't be an issue. I don't have an idea about ECE labs, though.

Best college possible in a short fee range in Delhi.

Faculty: Faculty members are very good, but the exams are a bit difficult. In the first semester, students have to work hard to get good grades. Passing is based on relative grading, while Computer Programming follows absolute grading, requiring 50% aggregate marks to pass.

Jawaharlal Nehru University from my view.

Faculty: It is up to the line in my batch, there are few foreign nationals from Korea and Japan, you can get an idea of quality of education. Some professors are also inclined towards a specific political ideology so if you want good grades then stay away from politics.

Highly satisfied to be part of JNU. Highly recommended.

Faculty: Faculty members are very student-friendly, and students can approach them easily. The curriculum is flexible, with two exams—one mid-semester and the other at the end of the semester. Students are also required to present their papers. The teachers are highly qualified, including names like Nivedita Menon and Rajesh Rajgopalan, among others.
