Remarks
JNU is a premier institute in India. It is one of the best universities to pursue research in the country in both sciences and social sciences. The admission process is smooth and hassle-free. Hostel allotment takes time though.
Course Curriculum Overview
It is easy to pass at JNU but it is tough to score good grades. Term exams are on time and the course is structured in a systematic manner with several assignments around the year. A student gets assessed accordingly at different levels.
Internships Opportunities
There are several IT companies that come to the campus. In both sciences and social sciences several projects under CSIR and ICSSR respectively are conducted by the professors. These projects regularly come under the JNU notice board in which interested students can participate.
Placement Experience
Masters students of subjects such as economics, and computers get placed along with the engineering and management students. There are several internship opportunities inside as well as outside the university.
Fees and Financial Aid
UGC NET JRF is the scholarship that I have applied for. However, this is a scholarship from the central government and not from the institute. The institute provides merit cum means scholarships to students from weaker economic backgrounds.
Campus Life
There are several student clubs, sports clubs as well as student political associations in the university. Dance clubs, art clubs, NSS and many more. Students can affiliate himself or themselves with any club of their choice.
Hostel Facilities
JNU has several hostels. The hostels that have been constructed recently have better infrastructure than the older ones. Food quality however is really very good. The food menu is decided to keep in mind the various geographical regions from which students come here from across the country.
Interview Experience
There was an online entrance test based on the subject. Next, there was an interview related to the research proposal submitted for a PhD. I had to study extensively and prepare all the topics given for the entrance syllabus.
