Jawaharlal Nehru University from my view.
Placements: There is no campus placement but seniors and professors have some contacts through which you can get placed but don't completely rely on that also. There are various student exchange programs so from that you can get a chance to visit the country of your subject language and get to know the culture and people.
Infrastructure: Campus size is 1,100 acres full of forest vibes and full of animals and beautiful birds. Infrastructure is decent as it is 60 years old in a polluted city like Delhi we are literally living in a paradise. But also due to many posters of political parties sticking everywhere, it feels kind of ugly.
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.
Other: It is the best college for foreign language enthusiasts in India.

Highly satisfied to be part of JNU. Highly recommended.
Placements: I have been part of the JNU Placement Cell, and they have helped students secure positions at Sushma Swaraj Institute of Foreign Services, NITI Aayog, and other think tanks, with competitive salaries and prestigious roles. Not only that, but companies also visit for hiring HR and other administrative staff roles.
Infrastructure: There is a 24/7 library where you can study, along with access to round-the-clock Wi-Fi. The classrooms are world-class, providing exposure to top-notch facilities at every corner. The hostel mess offers quality food at very affordable prices, and there is a health center where you can get medical attention at no cost.
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.
Other: You are regularly updated about events, festivals, and other activities.

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.

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.

The old but vibrant campus of JNU may not offer placements, but the name JNU matters.
Placements: There is no any specific placement cell at Jawaharlal Nehru University. Students have to look for job opportunities on their own. If you are the top 10 students in the class, you can earn around Rs. 50,000 per month through freelancing and teaching. If you complete your Master's and Ph.D. in the same language from Jawaharlal Nehru University, you can join many universities as an assistant professor. If you clear the A2 level of Spanish and IELTS, you can go to Spain through the Language Immersion programme for 9 months and work there as a part-time English teacher.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure of JNU is great, but the vibrant campus makes up for it. Wi-Fi facility is available everywhere on the campus. Classrooms are not that great, but the fantastic professors make up for it. The library is open 24/7 with great facilities. The mess food and canteen food are both healthy, tasty, and budget-friendly. Free medical help is available at the JNU health center. A proper gym and sports ground are available.
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.
Other: I chose this course as I want to explore something new and the JNU tag obviously. The foreign exchange programme is about to start in our course, if it have been implemented earlier, it would have been a great help for students. When it comes to events, there are always some public talks going on campus. The campus crowd is amazing, and everyone is eager to help one another. There is an MCM Merit-cum-Means scholarship, under which, if your family income is less than Rs. 2,00,000 per year, you'll get Rs. 2,000 per month. But no organized events happen on the campus.
