    Good for exploration and college life but not so good for placements.
    Placements: Since engineering started in JNU in 2018, there was something problem with placements. The first batch passed in 2023 and their record was the highest 33 LPA off-campus and 16 LPA on-campus. The average package is 12 LPA. Placement percentage is 70% and top companies are Infosys, etc.
    Infrastructure: Hostel is quite good and free of cost. But since engineering started in 2018 there has been no permanent building of school of engineering. But government approved making new buildings and construction of new buildings is well ongoing and expected date for opening new buildings is January 2026.
    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.
    Other: I chose JNU because my rank in JEE was 34k and I wanted CSE as per my rank. This is the best college because it gives high networking from people and exploration.

    Not good for students who are seeking campus placement opportunities.
    Placements: The highest salary package offered is about 12 LPA. There's no need to worry too much about placement, it depends on students. It's more about students rather than a college or university. Around 20% of students got hired.
    Infrastructure: Whole campus is Wi-fi enabled, but the speed is quite poor. Campus has a great network overall, so we can access the internet on mobile phones. There are no fees for a hostel and dorms are provided for those students who are unable to get a hostel room from the institute.
    Faculty: Faculty members are not good. New staff lacks teaching experience and are unable to teach us without using PPT or handbook notes. Faculty members need to understand that skilled and qualified teachers are required for teaching.
    Other: If one wants to enjoy college life, this is the best college. There is no need to worry about anything, as there is a freedom for both boys and girls.

    Absolutely satisfied with my decision of choosing this college.
    Placements: The School of Engineering at JNU was established in 2018, and hence its first batch passed out very recently, with an average package of around 11 LPA, the highest being 16 LPA on campus and 33 LPA off-campus. Many big companies like Byju's, Amdocs, Wipro, and IBM visited the campus during the placement season. The placement scenario is expected to improve as more batches pass out.
    Infrastructure: Currently, we have two buildings for SOE—one is for administrative purposes and computer labs, and the other is the Engineering Lecture Complex (ELC) where classes take place. Wi-Fi is available 24/7. There are multiple canteens on the JNU campus with decent food quality. There is an entire sports complex in the JNU premises, offering one the opportunity to explore different sports. In fact, a new building for the engineering division is under construction, which is expected to be fully constructed by 2026.
    Faculty: The curriculum here is interdisciplinary, allowing you to learn technical and personality skills simultaneously, boosting the students' communication skills and hence making them industry-ready. The faculty is very helpful and friendly; you can consult them anytime with your doubts, and they are ready to help. The semester exams are like those in any other engineering college, where you can get good grades if you study well or vice versa.
    Other: I have always wanted to do engineering, and studying at a prestigious university like JNU is itself a big opportunity. Our college hosts all sorts of fests, including technical fests like EngQuest, HackJNU, etc., and cultural fests like Udbhav, and so on. The college also offers financial concessions to students in certain income brackets. JNU has a lot to offer, and at the end of the day, one will never regret the choice of being a JNUite, as it boosts one's personality on so many levels.

    I am very proud of my college and university and would love to see JNU achieve its lost glory again.
    Placements: The placements are pretty average but we have seen growth in recent times. The alumni network of the SCSS school, which provides one of the best MCA courses in the whole of India, is pretty strong and helps us BTech students too. Along with that, the supporting seniors are great and the environment is great to explore different fields, especially with the 0 attendance policy.
    Infrastructure: We still don't have our building made and are working on the building of SCSS but the construction work has started and we hope to see growth soon. The labs are quite good and the hostel provides the best they can at the boarding charges of 10 rupees per month.
    Faculty: The faculty is top-notch, thanks to the brand name of JNU and are very supportive. The 0 attendance policy is a big positive and we as students are allowed to explore different fields, along with optional ones from different schools like international relations and languages.

    Big campus, vibrant life, and great exposure from Jawaharlal Nehru University.
    Placements: Almost 75% of students got placed last year. In them, one person got 33 lakh per annum, and some of the guys got 16 LPA. Top recruiting companies like Infosys ,TCS ,Amazon , etc. Almost 95%of the students got internships last year because most of the people belong to ECE and CSE.
    Infrastructure: Hostel facilities are too good because in every hostel they will provide balconies,mess food is too good, and coming to infrastructure, it is quite good, not bad because it was an old campus, right. And coming to sports facilities, too many sports will be available; whatever you want, you can choose.
    Faculty: On coming to teachers, excellent staff because they are highly educated from top universities, NITs , IIITs, so we can get a lot of knowledge from them. Coming to the course curriculum, it was also nice because they are providing only CSE and ECE, so placements will be good. Coming to the difficulty of exams, it is not much difficult, and the pass percentage is 35%.
    Other: Choosing this college is only because of the branch, that is, ECE, because it has a lot of scope in the future. After our graduation, we can choose what side we want, whether software or hardware. Coming to fests, it is too good and there are too many fests. Scholarships are also provided.

    Placements: Around 56% of students were placed in the corporate sector from the last passout batch, as around 29% opted for higher studies, 11% went for the government sector and the rest for start-ups. The average package is 11 LPA, the highest on-campus is 16 LPA, and the highest off-campus is 33 LPA.
    Infrastructure: 24x7 wifi is available everywhere on the campus. Labs are good. Classrooms are spacious and are air conditioned. The library is one of the best. The hostel fee is very low. The rooms are decent, food is average, canteens are good, and medical and sports are some of the best.
    Faculty: Yes, the professors are really very helpful; the majority of them have their PhDs from reputed institutes. There are frequent industry visits and the course curriculum is frequently updated. The semester exams are not that tough; only 4 to 5 % fail in those.
    Other: Well, at my rank, I wasn't getting EC in any NIT, so I thought, why not JNU? It has the best campus life. It has almost everything I can dream of, or one aspires to from a college, from freedom to a large campus to diversity and closeness to nature. JNU doesn't have fests, but there are events regularly organized by student unions or political organizations.

This was for the General category under the All India quota. Unless the candidate belongs to some other category or domicile, one cannot afford to score less than this. With this rank, there is a probability of getting admission however since, the cut-offs keep changing year on year, it is advisable to try to score better ranks to increase your chances of getting admission to Jawaharlal Nehru University.
