Remarks
Other than the early morning classes I haven't come across any bad reviews about this college. It was and still is one of the oldest and prestigious colleges in Kolkata.
Course Curriculum Overview
JDC strictly follows the course curriculum provided by Calcutta University. This college has great professors for Physics faculty. JDC is also one of the few colleges that lets you choose Geology as a pass subject if you are opting for Physics(Hons). So, you have the choice to choose Geophysics for post-graduation which is a booming industry. There are on-campus drive every year which provides the students fair placements.
Placement Experience
Companies like TCS, TECHNO INDIA, Wipro visits in the on-campus drive. The recruitment process mainly consists of an interview. Students get placement mostly based on their academic records and their performance in the interview. Internship options are also available.
College Events
JDC celebrates many festivals like Saraswati Pujo and fests, fresher welcome. JDC organizes cultural programs, seminars and conferences. Back in my college days, we got to enjoy famous Bengali band performances. The campus life in this collage is good and 100% ragging free. There's also no hassles of unions and politics.
Fee Structure And Facilities
I wouldn't describe the fee structure as expensive, it's very much feasible. The payment process is totally transparent. There are no hidden charges or scams that you will come to regret later. You can make the payment also in installments if you have any prob making the payment in one go.
Fees and Financial Aid
Personally, I didn't opt for any scholarship. But for students of need, there are a few scholarships available. The college offers the benefit of free scholarship to meritorious students who come from an economically backward background or minority community.
Campus Life
JDC is an all-women college. The campus life this college has to offer is good hassle-free and there's a strict no ragging policy in place. The lab experience this collage offers is good in general but opt for extra classes if you want to learn more. There a few extracurricular in which the students can indulge themselves like there's a sports team and NCC.
Alumni/Alumna
The college boasts of a pretty impressive ex-student community which includes eminent academics and researchers. The alumni network is coordinated by Smt. Kanika Chatterjee.
Admission
I opted for this college because it provides a strong undergrad program on Physics. The laboratory experience which plays a crucial role in undergrad Physics(Hons) is good in this institute that's one of the main reasons why I opted for this college. JDC takes admission based on the student's 12th marks. The cutoff is usually higher than 60%. This institute usually does three to four lists for the purpose of admission. After completion of the first list, admission is strictly on a first come first serve basis.
Faculty
There are four lectures in a typical day including practical classes. Most of the professions have their doctorate in their specific fields and others are pursuing their Ph.D. The average age of the professors are 30 to 40. JDC also provides it's students with seminars and conferences.
