Great Internship Opportunities

Fees and Financial Aid:

The Fees of Jadavpur University is too low that any one can afford it but all it requires a good rank in WBJEE Examination. The Tution Fees for B.Tech. in Computer Science Engineering is Rs.4000 per year, and for the complete course of 4 years, the fees is Rs.16000. It includes all kinds of fees except hostel charges. I think it is the best college because it matches the level of placement given by Top IITs. For other low categories and tution waivers the fees goes till Rs.10000 of the complete course. This is the university of West Bengal, so students get scholarships like Aikyashree and SVMC of 20000 per year. Thank you.

Jadavpur University: Your place to shine

Dislikes

The courses might be considered difficult if you are to target more than 9 CGPA.
The overall infrastructure not up to the mark, mostly because of its low fees.

I paid 2500 Rs. per year for the course. It is extremely cheap when you compare it to other universities today. There are different scholarships for which you have to apply to the university, the details can be found after joining, but most don't need a scholarship due to the low fees.

Jadavpur University : A nexus of excellence and cultural vibrancy

Likes

The thing that I like the most is the return on investment (ROI) which is Highest in India and my dept. is CSE which holds the best ROI among all branches.

After clearing WBJEE, we generally get Jadavpur University (JU), for the counseling we need to pay Rs500 which we pay to WBJEE Board , then the seat Acceptance fee is Rs5000 , this covers the two years fees. When we are taking the final admission then we need to pay Rs710 for all branches expect Information Technology which is nearly Rs25000. In 3rd , 4th year we need to pay tution fees of 2400 and that's it ... it's the same for all students SC,ST and there's no management quota. Jadavpur University provides various scholarships, but as the fees are minimal those are generally hidden ... but scholarship such as SVMCM ,OASIS are few of them ... JU also providee need and merit based scholarships to students.

JU for LIFE

Flexibility to choose exam dates yes semester date as well as we like . So we cab have 2-3 days break per semester exam , so there will not be situation to wake up nights on coffee

The tuition fee is much less, it is negligible thanks to the student union for it, I mean 2500 per year except IT department, where fees are 30,000 per year, Scholarships are provided, and the SVMCM scholarship is available, 60000 per year.

All you need to know about Jadavpur University

For the first two years the fee is taken during admission. For the next two years i.e. 5th to 8th semester you have to pay the fees which is around 6k for the remaining 4 semesters. There are plenty of scholarships available for students who are not able to pay the fees. The college even promotes other scholarships to aid the students

My Childhood Dream Jadavpur University

There are separate buildings for separate engineering courses and you get many advantages of that.

So first of all you have to give 5000 rupees to lock your seat and then at the admission process you have to give only 700 rupees. And it is the total fees of 2 years. After 4th semester you have to pay around 5000 rupees for next two years . Also if you came form a poor family and get good rank in Wbjee , there is a system of TFW for you. In this you have to pay 0 rupees and you get education in free. Basically I came form a middle class family and my father do government job so I can't get scholarship scholarship. But I know that there is a scholarship where in every month you can get 5000 rupees . I am in 1st year so I don't know very deeply about job roles , responsibility etc.

The Pros and Cons of Jadavpur University.

The Affordability of this course, making income not a factor to pursue your education

The cost of studying here is EXTREMELY low and this University has the BEST return on investment among all engineering colleges of India. Only 12k fees for 4 years (for non-IT courses) makes this course accessible for everyone where other institutions take lakhs and lakhs of fees.
