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.

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.

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.

One of the best universities of India, really appreciable.

Faculty: When it comes to faculty members, you don't need to worry. You will be taught by some of the best faculty members in India. They are highly qualified and dedicated to teaching you by any means. The course curriculum is a little old but good. JNU doesn't prepare you for industries, but they shape you into a better version. You need to maintain a CGPA of 4 out of 9 to pass.

The college provides excellent education and amazing quality education.

Faculty: The teachers are very qualified. Students most of the time study by themselves. The exam pattern was simple. The paper used to be 75 marks, and 25 marks were internal marks that the college used to give us by assessing our performance each semester. All the faculty members are the real gems of our department and will guide you in the best way possible.
