Jadavpur University - [JU], BE, Chemical Engineering

Reviewed on Jul 5, 2020

Remarks

Jadavpur University made me understand what a human should be entitled to. Freedom of thought, freedom of speech and right to life. Also, apart from chemical Engineering or the course you are enrolled in, you grow matured and emerge a better human being.

Course Curriculum Overview

Course Curriculum, when we graduated, was a bit backdated. However, the same has been revised the next year and the same has been upgraded. We did not have MATLAB or AUTOCAD and had to learn and do design and drawing all manual. This seemed odd. Exams are oldschool, with little or no involvement of digitalization.

Class Size: 80Course Fees: INR 2500 per year

Placement Experience

4.5

The placements are pretty good. All major companies like Adobe, Microsoft, Goldman Sacchs etc visit the campus. For Chemical engineering, companies like Deloitte, Honeywell UOP, Reliance, Bechtel, Vedanta etc allow students to sit for their placements. I got selected into ZS Associates through campus placement. Internships also happen. Sessions on Group Discussion, etc are also conducted.

College Events

Cultural fest - Sanskriti. Photography Fest - Montage. Tech Fest- Srijan. Freshers- U-turn. Reunion -Chembridge. And there are several department specific fests as well. Sanskriti is the leading fest of the city and it happens separately for three faculties- 7 days for engineering, 3 days each for science and arts.

Fee Structure And Facilities

The cheapest engineering college in Asia I think. The fees were 200 rupees per month when I studied. Add to it, were exam fees, which were somewhere around 150 rupees annually. The college basically runs on various grants from the Government and believes in education for all.

Fees and Financial Aid

I have not opted for any scholarships or education low as you see, the fees are extremely low. However, for economically less privileged students, several scholarships are there for grabs to pay for the already minuscule college fees

Campus Life

3.5

Engineering has a skewed gender ratio towards more male, while it is not so In science and arts faculties. The campus life is excellent. It teaches you life. All students are aware of politics. There are all types of societies for extracurricular like photography, mountaineering, debating, robotics etc.

Hostel Facilities

No. I have not opted for hostel and was a day scholar. The hostels were okay as I visited only once or twice to meet friends staying in there and to group study. The rental for hostels are also very low.

External Expense: Rs.2000 - Rs.4000

Alumni/Alumna

Alumni network is extremely strong. Good Placements are a result of the same. Cultural fests are largely funded by the alumni.

Admission

I had written WBJEE, got a rank of 524 and through online counseling, chose Chemical engineering. After online counseling, admission process happened where I had to produce the documents and got myself admitted with the enrolment number. WBJEE was basically a MCQ exam of maths, physics and chemistry of 12th standard.

Faculty

3.5

Almost all the faculties are highly qualified with pHD and post-docs from globally reputed institutes. The teaching,I must say, is good. Of course, how much you can take in, depends on you. Many professors have moved from blackboard to projector teaching.

A decent private engineering college to pursue B.Tech

Course Curriculum Overview:

I chose this course for my interest in computer science. It more or less helps in real world applications or further academic pursuits. The syllabus must be reconstructed and many useless topics and subjects can be avoided in our course.

Placement Experience:

Despite the low fee structure, my college provides a good placements. Almost every student of CSE Dept who sit for placement, gets the placement between 4lpa - 6lpa. Last year the highest package was ?12 lpa. ECE department has the lowest percentage of placements. And other engineering departments have between 60-70% placement. All the mentioned above is the description of in campus placement. Not many students of my college opt for out campus. But if they do, they get good placements as per the reports. In 2021 a student secured the job in Microsoft, with the placement of ?45 lpa (out campus).

Homebound Forward with Jadavpur University

I have always wanted to study in Jadavpur University in one of their literature departments since I was a kid. This was a way of achieving a tiny dream of mine. Moreover, the Comparative Literature Department is the best in all entire Asia and the first one in the country. I wanted to experience the greatness of this course and how the canons of this literature were formed here. It is also the topmost State Public University and 9th in NIRF I wanted to be a part of an institution that could be great to this extent. The admission took place on the basis of a merit-based entrance examination. The seats are limited; therefore, only the top 15 students out of almost 800-1000 who appeared for the exam were selected. This was one of my top priorities, defeating all the other options I had....Read More

The Pros and Cons of Joining Jadavpur University Masters of Arts in Economics

1) I applied for Delhi School of Economics, however couldn't manage an admission due to the extreme cutoff on CUET exam for the same. I had confirmed admission from North Bengal University, however it was not feasible since I had a choice in Jadavpur University. Jadavpur University has the best rank among all other colleges I had a confirmed admission to, so I chose this University. 2) I wanted to study in Delhi School of Economics, but couldn't make it there due to the extensive cutoff in CUET which I unfortunately couldn't clear. 3) Jadavpur University conducts its own internal exam for admission into its esteemed Masters of Arts [M.A.] programme. However one can get through by CUET exams as well, however that needs a decent score. The cutoff in the internal exam is around 70% for General Category and for CUET, the cutoff varies yearly....Read More
