JNU Placements 2025

JNU Placement Report 2025 has not been released yet. As per the JNU NIRF Overall Report 2025, 30 students and 17 students were placed from the 3Year UG Program and 4Year UG Program, respectively, in 2024. From the 2-Year PG program, a total of 188 students were placed. Some of the top recruiters are Amazon, Accenture, Google, NIIT, McKinsey & Company, Ramco, and Infosys.

An anonymous reviewer on our website, who is a BA Hons French student here, says that JNU Placements do exist but very less in frequency. The placements for a language course depends on market demand that fluctuates very often for French language. There are absolute placements for Japanese and Chinese language while Korean and French are in between. Well students getting placed after degree is not more than 40-50% but 100% students get work through freelancing. You can work as a freelancer, tourist guide or choose the ultimate path - do your masters, PhD and become a professor. This is the ultimate placement and nowadays private schools teach another language to students, so graduates have plenty of opportunities in teaching.

JNU FAQs

Ques. What is it like to study at JNU Delhi?

Ans. As per students and alumni, studying at JNU can be liberating and scary at the same time. If you've been in the Indian education system all your life, you're probably used to being spoon-fed and not having any room for your own thinking. Once in JNU, this completely changes. Nobody is here to tell you what to study, how to study, when to study. There's no minimum attendance requirement so no pressure on that front. There's loads of work pressure in the form of homework, assignments, presentations, etc at the BA/MA level, yet your time is your own so you have to decide when to work and draw your own lines. At the MPhil/PhD level, there's an exciting research atmosphere, and you can really feel that you're among people who are here to do genuine research. But again, you have to draw the lines and make sure you don't lose focus. Campus life is also so liberating that the above is a bigger challenge than it might seem. Women feel safer on campus than anywhere else in the country, so there is freer interaction across gender boundaries. There's also a late night culture, which means you can be up till 3 in the morning and still run into lots of people at the dhabas. There are movie screenings, political activities such as protests and hunger strikes, you can hear some of the greatest minds in the country give public lectures. If you're receptive to it, JNU will change your life, expand your horizons, and challenge your comfortable ways of thinking. You're treated like an adult so you have to learn to be one quickly.

Ques. Is it worth taking admission to JNU for Masters?

Ans. As per our research, if you want to pursue MA in one of the streams offered at JNU, then it’s totally worth it. JNU has been consistently ranked as the second-best university in India by NIRF. It offers such a great environment for research, and being a central university it is also quite affordable. In the end, it all depends on your aims and objectives. If you really want to go for a Master’s degree then JNU is undoubtedly the best.

Ques. Which is better, JNU or Delhi University?

Ans. Students and alumni report that if you are in the top 10 colleges of Delhi University, then the Bachelors programme is great. There is a lot of exposure in terms of meeting people and the extra curricular activities are amazing. However, there is a serious issue with hostels, the examination process is outdated and the university is not very student friendly (especially when compared to JNU). Most people get bored by the time their 3rd year ends.

Students pursuing Masters and MPhil at JNU say it is a lot tougher to get through in most ways because no one can predict what the university really is looking for. JNU has a lot of problems but it is in most ways an extremely accepting environment. It really does depend on what you do with your time in JNU. If you are motivated, you can achieve absolutely anything. There is a general culture of debate in the university which makes it so much more student friendly. It is an extremely cheap university and most departments are rewarding, in terms of faculty. It is difficult to leave JNU once you are in. It does promote a certain feeling of lethargy though if you are lazy because it expects you to push yourself especially at higher levels of study.

The BA courses at DU are of much higher standards in most respects (mostly because JNU barely offers any BA courses). That being said, DU has draconian rules and lifestyle. In the end, one should choose a university that they can make the most out of.

the life of student in JNU


Academic structure and curriculum in the campus

i choose this course because to acquire a skill but now i find if we are here to acquire just a skill then i would suggest it's not a wise decision to choose this course and even it became defficult for me to pass the exam .... the course is quite interesting as we get to learn a new language but the way the professors are using to teach is not that much good i think their is a need to change the teaching style.. total 3 sessional and 1 end sem exam held in a semester and the difficulty increases accordingly

What are the internship opportunities in the campus?

the college have a group where the senoirs inform about internship and also we can get an opportunity to study abroad on the recommendation of professors and even we can find opportunities by ourselves with the help of senoirs

What are the placement opportunities in the college and highest package?

at present i dont have any idea about placement but i have heared that japaneese have got highest placement till now which was around 30,00000 and about russian language we have average 8,00000 package .

Yearly fees of the course and scholarship

as the data says jnu is very economical for student doing higher studies and the fee of jnu fulfil that fact by charging just 268 ruppee per year and not only the fee this university also accomodate students here in 18 hostel and for the mess charges the government is providing 2000/month to students who's criteria is mentioned in the form and the scholarship is known as MCM.

Students views about the campus life

the overall experience was good and it fulfiled almost my all expectation which i had in my mind and explorinf the campus is quite satisfying because the campus itself in a forest like area so it continoulsy attach us with nature and also the political parties present here are very active and 5 days a week we have a kind of talking session with eminent persons coming here from different places of india and also we have certain clubs here but only few of them are active not all the clubs are active

What are facilities available in the college hostel?

the fees of hostel is low but the infrastructure is also very poor and the drinking water facility is not that much good and the toilets are also very poor .. but each hostel are facilitated with internet which is 24*7 accessible .. the rent is also low but at the time of registration apart from the fee we need to pay an amount ranging 1,000-15,00 and the food quality is also very low in hostel mess

Faculty and examination pattern of the college

im persuing BA in Russian Studies and and here we have very wise and helpful professor and the ratio of professor to students is 1:10. at present i like german faculty the most coz they are more friendly towards the students comparing to russian faculty .... russian faculty is also good and helpful but my friends always praise about german faculty and also i don't like persian faculty because most of the times they cancelled the classes so i feels like they are less concerned about the students ... the russian faculty held 3 sessional exam in a semester and a end sem exam at the end of semster and the level of exam increases and the number of students passing the exam decreases

What is the admission process of the campus?

i choose this college because the fess was very niminal and living in delhi with such low fees is the main attracting factor for me .. i have applied for this collge only this time but last year i was in DU and the infrastructure there was quite better then JNU... the admission process here is very easy because when we came here for physical verifcation we get our seniors ready to help and the process is also not very complex

Night Life

perticullarly the night life of JNU is very exciting and productive . Here we have certain dhabas which remain open late night and the students gather there for cup of tea or any another activity and they discuss something over cup of tea and the jnu become more beautiful in night and students roam here and there in nights and their is no restriction as well on students and they can enter and exit campus whenever they want and also the girls safety if also there . Campus have around 150 security gaurds at a time

Admission:

I applied in Delhi University for Bachelor of Management studies got Aryabhatta college as it was mistakenly my first preference, I had enough marks to get admission into a better college compared to Aryabhatta college for BMS, So I left that. Than I applied in Jawaharlal Nehru University for BA Hons French as it seemed very interesting course. And compared to Aryabhatta college, JNU was very cheap, had hostel and very other facilities like 24*7 library, college life. The fee for Aryabhatta college was 27000 I guess and 268 for JNU. I aplied in these two universities only , luckily scored good so I didn't have to wait for second list. The admission for JNU was also very smooth, You have to fill the application form online after cuet result(Generally 85-90% is safe score), it cost around 250 rupees, then after result , you have to visit university with your documents like 10th,12th marksheet, Aadhar card, migration certificate, character certificate and within one day you will get your admission process done. You'll be allocated with your hostel and ID card, library slip then and there.

JNU: 10 Answered Questions

Which is India's top university, Delhi University or JNU?

Apoorva Bali
Gaurav SinghUndergrad student is at University

There is a stark difference between both universities in terms of culture as well as fees. JNU or Jawaharlal Nehru University is mostly about expression, literature, culture, research, and building intellectual facilities whereas DU is all about glamor, fashion, fests, high cutoffs, and placements.

In financial terms, JNU is much more affordable than DU. Be it course fees or hostel fees, JNU cuts down on expenses a lot.

JNU is learning for life, whereas DU focuses on learning the bare essentials and getting placed in a reputed firm.

One more significant difference to consider is that JNU is more about post-graduation whereas DU focuses more on graduation. The difference in intellectual level stems from the same reason.

If you are still confused between the two, spend equal time on both campuses and you will get the answer soon.

I want to pursue an M.A. in geography at JNU next year. How can I crack its entrance exam?

Sugandhi Sood
Damini Guptastudied Geography at Delhi School of Economics (2019)

If you are interested in Geography and have basic knowledge, it is not difficult to get admission at JNU. The syllabus for the entrance test is the same as that of undergraduate (Hons) in Geography. You can go through the syllabus on the website along with the question papers from the previous years too. It will help you understand how to prepare for the entrance test. 

The entrance test consists of 100 marks with objective multiple-choice questions (MCQs). Do not try to attempt all questions. Rather focus on accuracy. Take a calculated risk and try to attempt 80-88% of questions correctly. 

You can get an idea about the question asked in the entrance from previous year’s question papers and paper 2 and 3 of NET-JRF Geography.

Sabeer Chalana
Deepika Sinhastudied at Jawaharlal Nehru University

The life of a civil service aspirant at JNU is worthwhile and interesting. It is a little bit tougher to stay focused and determined on campus. But many students with strong determination and motivation reached their goal. The life of a civil service aspirant is detailed below

  • They work very hard with a consistent study routine. They are stiff-minded and most of them wake up early in the morning and start their preparation
  • Books are their best companion, and rooms are filled with splendid books. They are quick-witted
  • They mugged up each and every topic that came under the background of humanities, arts, and science.  JNU has a vast library with a rich book collection starting at the 9th-grade level, and you can also make use of the bookshop available nearby the campus. This institution also has the advantage of a huge collection of online academic resources
  • The renewal of our registration every semester never lets us stay away from our goal. There are distractions on campus due to varied reasons, like politics. But a civil service aspirant should never fall for entertainment
  • JNU is gifted with experienced scholars, and they give full support to the students, especially civil service aspirants. You can contact any of the faculty to clear your doubts without any hesitation

Are JNU admissions tough?

Sabeer Chalana
Himanshu Yadav

JNU admissions are quite competitive due to its high reputation in India and across the world. Students from Delhi and outside of Delhi compete for admission to various JNU courses. The university accepts CUET for admission to its undergraduate and postgraduate programs. When the CUET results are declared, JNU releases its cutoff scores and merit list accordingly. 

Candidates who have a CUET score that is at least equal to the cutoff scores will be called for the counseling session and will be allotted seats in their preferred institutions. Since a large number of applicants apply for JNU admissions, candidates must aim for a high percentile and a high CUET score. Good marks can ensure admission to JNU if not any other parameter.
