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.

Great campus life with excellent learning experience.

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.

Satisfied with infrastructure, facilities, and teaching approach.

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.

The course is well designed with 4 core subjects like grammar, phonetics, communication approach, and culture.

The strange face of JNU.

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.

Everything is not worth it in JNU, but majorly it is.

Faculty: These are true facts. Teachers in all the centers are excellent in their own domain, with nothing to complain about. In the Persian center, professors are very flexible according to students. There is no argument about anything, and attendance is not mandatory.

The old but vibrant campus of JNU may not offer placements, but the name JNU matters.

Faculty: Teachers here are highly qualified and knowledgeable. They teach you in a manner that only if you attend classes properly, you'll score good marks. The course curriculum is relevant and makes students to be industry-ready. The semester exams are easy to pass if you attend lectures regularly. 90-95% of students pass the semester exam.

JNU provides a satisfying environment.

Faculty: Faculty members are highly qualified and helpful. My course, Spanish, is really helpful as it opens wide job opportunities for me in the world. The semester exams are a bit difficult, but a regular learner will find them easy. A student requires a 3/9 CGPA to pass the semester.

My college life at JNU as a Bachelor of Arts (Honours) student.

Faculty: The staff and the curriculum for these students are really good and up to mark, as professors help students whenever needed. Even though the curriculum has now been extended, and so has the degree still, professors help in every possible and make it easy for students to learn things easily.

JNU- We study, we protest and that's why we are the best.

Faculty: Faculty members of JNU are very good. They are well-qualified and the best academicians. Their knowledge and their quality of teaching are very good. The course is related to the school of language, literature, and culture studies. They are mainly focused on foreign languages and their literature and their culture exams are very easy.

Good for exploration and college life but not so good for placements.

Faculty: Faculty members are quite good. All the teachers belong to well reputated college. There is no attendance policy in JNU so it is also one of the most important things. Semester exams are not quite difficult to qualify but for scoring high CGPA is difficult.

A glimpse to JNU - A HOME .

Faculty: Teachers are very well-qualified. They have done their Ph.D. and also have teaching experience. My course is very demanding in this era, and it makes it easier for foreign tourists to explore India. College exams are not difficult, but there are 4 exams in each semester.
