JNU: Students' Opinion

AI-Generated Summary based on 242 Reviews

Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) offers diverse placement opportunities primarily for students of foreign languages, computer science, biotechnology, and economics, though the university is predominantly research-focused. Approximately 70-80% of students secure placements each year, with companies like Amazon, Google, and Facebook visiting the campus. The average package ranges from 6-12 lakh per annum, depending on the course and skill level, with the highest packages reaching up to 36 lakh per annum for BTech students.

Placement opportunities are more robust for language and technical courses, whereas students from humanities and social sciences often opt for higher studies. The placement cell at JNU facilitates campus recruitment, but many students prefer to pursue research or further education rather than immediate employment. Internships are available through university connections with government agencies and private companies.

Placement Experience:

There are campus placement but very less in frequency. The placements for a language course depends on market demand that fluctuates very often for French language. There is absolute placements for Japanese and Chinese language while Korean and French is in between. Well students getting placed after degree is not more than 40-50% but 100% students get work through freelancing. You can do work on 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 student, so graduates have plenty of opportunities in teaching. I will teach French in some college or Private school -pay scale is good for that ranging from 45000-70000.

What are the placements after an MA in economics from JNU?

Ujoini GhoseM.A. Economics, Jawaharlal Nehru University (2018)

Economics offers many career options. Having a master’s degree in Economics from JNU will offer you many placement opportunities. Here are some of the career paths that you can choose after the completion of your degree. 

  • Quite a few companies visit the JNU campus every year to recruit students in data analyst and research analyst profiles. The average package offered in the placement drive is 9 LPA. However, not all students get placement offers. So, you want to work in a data incentive profile, it’s better to go for institutes like DSE, ISI, IGIDR, etc.
  • Many students chose to pursue higher education. You can do M.Phil or integrated M.Phil-P.hD. JNU is a great option for pursuing higher studies in Economics. After completing your degree, you can teach and continue research.
  • You can appear for civil service examinations. 
  • If you want to work in research domain but are not necessarily willing to pursue a P.hD, you can join think tanks. But you should keep in mind that getting into credible think tanks is not easy. 
  • You also have the option to take examinations for RBI and EXIM Bank. A background in Economics is a must for these examinations. 

No matter what you choose to do, the competition is quite hard. So, you will have to work accordingly.

Sonal Vaid
Sekhar Junejalives in Hyderabad, Telangana, India

In US, Indian software engineers earn around $60k-$80k in entry-level jobs. After 3-5 years of work experience, the salary amount becomes $90k-$130k. For software engineering professionals with around 5-10 years of experience, the salary package is around $130-$200k.
