Jadavpur University is a terrific institution with a high rating. It has a well-established engineering faculty. Although the standard of education is gradually losing its mark, you tend to learn more from the people you surround yourself with rather than the superlative courses.

If you are interested in CSE then it is suggested that you learn more about the faculty at Kalyani Government Engineering College. It is undoubtedly a good institute but rethink your enrollment here. KGEC will require you to make sacrifices and to sweat it out with concerted effort towards learning the subject in the classroom all by yourself.

If you are hesitant about CSE then opt for power plant engineering. If your indecisiveness is because of the famous university and CSE you should keep in mind that the name of the university matters only to a limited extent.

The general preference is that none of the two colleges is a feasible option for pursuing B.Sc (Chemistry). The reasons behind this are listed separately below for both the colleges:

• Xavier’s is not a good option for chemistry. The faculty is not equipped in teaching in-depth concepts. They do not provide the requisite exposure for broadening a student's knowledge base.
• A general tendency of faculties is that they don’t recommend books. A huge amount of knowledge is gained by using internet sources which in turn makes them dependent on electronic sources.
• Internal politics is also an inevitable element of the campus culture. A lot of distraction is inherent in the day-to-day activities.
• Jadavpur University also gives very less exposure in terms of the knowledge base.
• A large amount of attention is focused on internal politics which hampers the educational and professional growth of the candidates.

Both the colleges reflect quite a dismal picture for this particular course, but even if the choice has to be made it will shift towards Xavier’s Kolkata as in:

• It is the only NAAC Accredited A++ institute in West Bengal making your degree more reputed and acceptable. It will provide larger scope for better career options in the market.
• It allows individuals to look out to different personality domains of a candidate as it gives opportunity in the form of various cultural & social events.

Overall, Xavier’s is a better option than Jadavpur University in every aspect.

In general, IIEST accepts admissions based on the JEE Main only. It does not accept WBJEE entrance exam scores and rankings. However, Jadavpur University accepts the WBJEE exam. So, if you scored 3,300 WBJEE rank. Then, you can apply for Jadavpur University.

Jadavpur University offers several engineering courses under the UG level and the college accepts WBJEE scores for admission. However, IIEST accepts only based on the JEE Main.

The Political Science Department at both Ashoka University and Jadavpur University is quite good.

Ashoka University offers different branches of Political Science as honors courses. It has a wonderful group of faculty which include graduates or PhDs from ivy league colleges. The university also offers a choice to pursue a fourth year of undergraduate, which is a requirement for most of the good universities abroad.

Jadavpur University is an old well-reputed university and the department of international relations of JU is one of the best in the country. The infrastructure is quite good at JU. Apart from the departmental library, there is a central library which has over 4000 books. Seminars are conducted by guest lecturers from all over the country and the world. Graduates mostly go on to pursue higher studies from reputed universities in India and abroad.

The table below contains information about the Political Science programs offered by Ashoka University and Jadavpur University.

The answer to this depends on what your final goal is.

If you are interested in CSE and want to take up a job offering lucrative packages, CSE at IIEST is what you should opt for if you are not getting shortlisted for CSE at JU.

You will get better placements in CSE at IIEST than electrical engineering at JU.

But, if you are interested to go for further studies, JU seems to be a better choice because you have good records. There are chances of IIEST climbing up the ladder to be a much greater institution with the changes in it, however, it will definitely be a slow and steady movement and also, the outcome cannot be predicted. In addition to this, you must keep in mind that it is an integrated course which is of five years.

At the same time, even though JU does not have an INI status, it has a good brand value and is quite popular in foreign countries. This might help you in the long run if you are planning for higher studies abroad or getting settled down abroad.

Jadavpur University and IIT Bhubaneswar – both have their merits and demerit. The following factors may help you make a better decision. 

IIT Bhubaneswar, like other IITs, bears its brand image. Hence, it has the reliability of a well-connected social environment. The politics, suggested assumptions about substance abuse, etc have tarnished the reputation of JU a bit in recent times. 

IIT Bhubaneswar has the reputation of hiring and employing well-qualified professors. There are two professors, seven associate professors, and eighteen assistant professors in the Electrical Engineering Department of IIT Bhubaneswar. Jadavpur University carries a distinct reputation for Computer Science Engineering degree. The present intake capacity of JU is sixty-four for CSE. The faculty consists of eighteen professors, four associate professors, and five assistant professors.

For years IIT has attracted many major recruiters. Currently, IIT Bhubaneswar has a placement record of 100% for the CSE branch. The average salary package is around 11.44 lakhs per annum. But, Jadavpur University has an unbeatable placement record. According to last years placement highlight, all 60 students from CSE got placed. The average salary package offered was 19.96 lakhs per annum. 

IIT Bhubaneswar has an academic culture compiled of some of the top students of the country. These students come from a broad variety of background. Hence, you will have the opportunity to socialize with a colourful assemblage. JU is a state university, so it does not offer the same. Even so, Jadavpur University is in a metro-city and has better sex-ratio. This draws them distinct advantages. 

Jadavpur University offers hostels, guest house, library, daycare centre, health centre and JU employees’ coop credit society limited. There are ten laboratories and a library in the CSE department. Moreover, there are many recent infrastructural developments in JU. The infrastructure of IIT Bhubaneswar is slowly improving. The campus of IIT Bhubaneswar is spread across 936 acres of land. It has an academic area, residential area, training centres and Research Park. 

In conclusion, both colleges and their corresponding environment have benefits and limitations. So, make your choice as per your interests and preferences and the factors discussed above.
