Course Curriculum Overview

4.5

Literature is only effectively talked about in 2nd year, poetry is not touched upon until 3rd year. Japanese folk tales begin in 2nd year until you are able to understand longers stories and also able to express your impressions in Japanese. Grammar is worked upon and you also learn to flout the rules that are meant to be flouted in the long run. Kaiwa (conversation) classes focus on fluency, pronunciation, accuracy, and propriety. There is a tad bit of a lack regarding how much the teachers encourage content outside of textbooks, but it's there. Presentations are definitely used. Periodic tests take place to keep you on your toes but it may get overwhelming after a point, at which point you need to take a break before joining the grind again.

Placement Experience

4

Great placements to Oracle, Amazon, Accenture and such. Around 9 people from BA-3 and MA-2 got Accenture job this year. 14 Lakh package is probably the highest, keep in mind you barely spend anything on the fee and the income return is very big in comparison.

Fees and Financial Aid

The tuition fee is negligible, barely 130 or so per semester. MCM merit cum means a scholarship is available for those who need it. Shinnyoen scholarship is also available. Study in Japan scholarships are hard to get but still are very much available in JNU compared to other institutions. These include Heiwa Nakajima Scholarship, Osaka University scholarships (varies year to year) and the ministry scholarship (MEXT). Master's students get TUFS scholarship, and Maple amongst others. Job placements are great, assuming you have at least JLPT N3. N2 is even better and N1 is great. Of course, your interview proficiency also matters.

Campus Life

3

Club activities are very less but you get many, many movie screenings. It's more study centric so there's not much extracurricular. Drama and nukkad natak is there. Political debates are common. Badminton, music and dance is there but it really depends on your company.

Admission

Very difficult but only because I was in P2 category. Cutoffs soar, Japanese is hard to get. JNU provides deprivation points, only institution to give those. If you study for 1-2 months it's very possible to get in, provided you really want to do it. JNUEE is no longer administered, now you have CUET UG, so only General Test and English, no Japan relevant test.

Faculty

2.5

Extremely helpful and qualified professors, at least most of them. Some of them have double master's, and almost all of them have studied extensively in Japan. Literature is respected and we are taught how to appreciate them.

Course Curriculum Overview:

Too vague to understand, feels extra burden of unnecessary irrelevant topics , extra papers like SEC/VAC simply add to the burden while barely providing with any skills and values as their name suggests . Studying them and preparing for exams add extra stress and unnecessary burden on them , diverting their focus from their core papers , which are already too huge and they study materials or readings simply fail to assist . Areas for improvement would be - proper structured study materials , also proper structured practical subjects / papers for students where they can actually learn or gain knowledge/skills which will be advantageous in their future .

I would say the placement opportunities are more available for science , commerce background students in the college there are rarely any placement opportunities for humanities background students . Mostly students starts engaging in placement in the fifth semester .severky companies visited campus every year including Deloitte , EY.TCS etc . Around 40 - 50 percent students from professional courses get the placement annually .even for the students not opting for placement the exposure n the strong alumni network of college help them secure good opportunities outside campus
