Remarks

Jadavpur University is popular as one of the most elite institutions of India. It is well-eqipped with all kinds of facilities such as libraries, digital modes of classroom, wifi, seminars, exchange programs, extracurricular activities etc. The economics department boasts of a fucultu of around 15 full-time teaching professionals. The fee structure is also quite suitable. Jadavpur University suited all the criteria I was looking for in a college, and I got the subject of my choice, so there was no looking at any other college.

Course Curriculum Overview

5

Curriculum - up-to-date with all India syllabus well-developed, thoughtfully designed, quite rigorous. Faculty - there are 15-17 full time professors and associate professors. Their teaching assistants also take tutorial classes. The quality of profesors are mostly average, with few amazing and few below average ones. Student ratio - 1:80 Teaching method is mostly dependent on classroom training with periodic hw and exams. A few professors tend to complete the syllabus late or ask questions too difficult for undergraduate students. The term exams were timely but the schedule for the same were distributed late, around 1 week before the exam starts. It also takes around 8 months to declare the results. The exams were moderately difficult. Passing won't be too hard for an average student, but scoring high is definitely a challenge.

Placement Experience

3

For Economics the companies come for placements only after completing post-graduation. There are no on-campus placements after graduation. After PG 7-10 companies come for placement in the 2nd semester of PG1 and median package is INR 10 lacs per annum.

College Events

3.5

Annual Fest - Sanskriti (November) Departmental fresher's (August) There is a central library along with departmental libraries. Each library is well-equipped with books, journals, research papers, etc. Many of the classrooms are air-conditioned and spacious. Use of smart-boards for teaching are also supported in most. There are a number of groups, clubs, activities and events available in the campus. They are quite inclusive and have produced nationally-renowned members. It's certain that everyone will find something they like to do a a community of people with common interests in JU.

Fee Structure And Facilities

JU being a public university has very low course fees, with world-class facilities. The admission fees for 1 year in INR 1250 including monthly fees of INR 75. Other than that financial assistance and scholarships are available for needy students. In the arts faculty campus placements are mostly available in the PG level, with 100% internship and job placements.

Hostel Facilities

3

I travel from my house itself, but hostel facilities and a number of renting facilities are available around the campus. The campus hostel is extremely affordable. The PG around the capmus have rents starting from 5000 per room.

Admission

Written test on higher secondary level mathematics. It consisted of 50 mcqs for 1 hr. Topics involved general logic and aptitude, calculus and arithmatic. Preparing for any competitive exams with maths as subject would suffice for preparing for the entrance.

Course Curriculum Overview:

Course subjects are overall good for all branch. But, if a student is interested in giving competitive exams like GATE, then he must be facing problems as the semester course is more theoretical related and boring, the same old style education system.

Course Curriculum Overview:

The structure of curriculum is not so great. Definitely there is a scope for improvement . We are under MAKAUT university and through job readiness perspective the structure of curriculum is below average. Lots of inclusion of different subjects are needed along with the exclusion of lengthy monotonous subjects which doesn't yield any result.
