Course Curriculum Overview

4.5

I have chosen this course because I have an interest in historical studies and also graduated in history Hons. Here we have imparted research oriented studies. The faculties take care of every individual student. The medium of instruction and exam is only English. There is a tutorial method for the overall development of students. There is a 10:1 ratio of students and teachers. The Faculties here are very supportive and are mostly senior professors. The University is very strict with its academic calendar. There is very much academic pressure and not any substitute for study.

Fees and Financial Aid

JNU is one of those universities that provided education very low cost. The study here is very affordable. In my course fees for per sem is 268. After this you have to pay mess bill that is around 3000 per month. There is provision of MCM scholarship for the economically weaker students. The scholarship varies from 2000 to 2500 rs pr month. Besids this you can apply for national scholarship.

Campus Life

5

There are many seminars were held on campus. And there celebrated many national and international Festivals. JNU has a very big library almost all books and journals are available here. Besides this, there are online libraries also. The classrooms are very fancy and it has smart boards and projectors. There is a stadium on the campus for sports and large opportunities for extracurricular activities.

Hostel Facilities

3.5

The Hostels of JNU are not in good condition. There are two bedrooms in which you have provided a fan, table chair, Almira and an electricity board. There are boys' hostels, girls' hostels and co-aid hostels. Girls are allowed in the boys' hostel but boys are allowed in the girls' hostel only to the mess, not in the room. In co-aid hostels there are a common mess and boys are not allowed in the girls' wing but girls are. There is three meal in a day. You will get here a variety of dishes and very tasty food. After that, you have to register for a hostel. The fees for a hostel are very nominal.

Admission

I have been admitted to this course through the CUET PG entrance exam. You have to have a graduation degree from any course for admission. NTA conducts the entrance exam every year. It will release the application in the last week of March and the exam will be held in June. Fees for the CUET PG exam will be 600 and after clearing the CUET exam you have to register for the university to where you want to take admitted, the fees for the registration depend on the university like in JNU it is 250. I have got benefits of OBC reservation in admission and for allotment of the hostel. NTA should improve the quality of the question paper for the entrance exam.

Course Curriculum Overview:

I have always held that the training I recieved during my masters programme prepared the grounds for my future development. The teaching pedagogy was centres around participation and a two way dialogue. I am not in the capacity to be suggesting improvements in curriculum as my stint in the university was almost perfect- more than I could have ever asked for.

Course Curriculum Overview:

The course curriculum is well designed by the renowned professors and faculty members from different universities in India and from abroad as well. The content was choosen keeping in mind to cover all the aspects of the specific subject for a pg student. As I mentioned before, the quality of study material was very good and helpful and very enough. But the pg thesis is missing from our course, due to which we were not able to do a research project. It appears to me after the completion of my first year that we can do our research under our given faculty but it wasn't mentioned in the course structure as it is mainly upto our faculties.

Course Curriculum Overview:

For the course i must say that this is something everyone needs to study about even if it's for just a part. We have ethics, moral, cultural relativism and etc. In our syllabus and it all really help to make our thinking rational, to see World from that point of view from where one can see the clarity. It's really necessary for improvement in personality and making good decision. I think there's need for making this course more practical like teaching, we can teach students about essentials of philosophy for there betterment of decision making from an early age.
