What is the fee structure of Jadavpur University B Tech?

Pursuing a course at Jadavpur University is quite affordable, as opposed to other universities. It is incredible to believe that a university that ranks among the top 15 engineering colleges of India, costs less than most universities around the nation. Here is a brief highlight of different fees in JU. Tuition fees: Rs. 2400 per year Refundable Caution Deposit: Rs 2500 (One time) Hostel fees: Rs. 1000 per month (It includes different kinds of vegetarian and non-vegetarian meals as well) Examination fees: Rs. 60 to Rs. 70 per semester Library Fine (if a book is submitted late): 6 Paisa per day for some books and 50 Paisa per day for others. This was the typical fee structure followed a few years back. Recently, there can be a 5% - 10% increment regarding the same. As per the recent update, the 1st year course fee for B.Tech at JU is 2,400. You can evaluate the expenditure to be around 1 lakh for the entire B.Tech course, incorporating the tuition fees, study materials, hostel fees, mess fees, alongside other miscellaneous expenses. On the other hand, JU has a great placement record. A typical student from the CSE department can receive an average salary package of about INR 19 LPA, while it is INR 8 LPA for departments of ECE, EEE, and IT. Lastly, the average salary package is INR 6 LPA for departments concerning Mechanical, Civil, Chemical, Metallurgy, Construction, and Production.

Which is better between IIT Patna and Jadavpur University for an equivalent branch?

I have seen many students prefer JU to new IITs because of the experience and legacy it holds in contrast to recently established IITs. None of these students regret their decision of choosing JU over IIT. JU has the upper hand in terms of both placements and the quality of research work here. In fact, top NITs, BITS, JU, DTU, NSIT, IIITs, and such institutes are all better options than most of the newer IITs. These institutes have good credibility owing to their strong alumni network thus providing better opportunities. Those who prefer to stay on the safe side give more preference to these institutes than newer IITs. The new IITs are expected to reach heights in the future and only then will you be able to benefit from their IIT tag. As of now, they lack credibility and opportunities. Ultimately, it’s your call to make because you can even avail the best opportunities through minimal resources.

Which is better for competitive programming: Jadavpur University or IIEST, Shibpur?

Any college can be good for competitive programming. It all relies on you to educate yourself, to learn new strategies, and to spend hours coding. Anudeep Nekkanti is one such example. He was recruited by Google and qualified for ACM ICPC world finals. If you look at the name of his college, it's not one of those elite ones. There was no competitive programming pattern in BESU/IIEST until recently. But many students have taken competitive programming platforms such as Codechef and HackerRank over the last few years. You can search the Codechef Rating System site to verify it for yourself. You get a college-wise database of the number of students actively engaged in competitive coding and their results using this platform. Lastly, don't support the myth that the only way to prove yourself as a coder is competitive programming. There are other coding fields as well. In this sense, do not consider that there was no "real coder" in IIEST because there was no competitive coding pattern previously in IIEST (BESU back then). Some of the alumni of the institute are working in top companies in India and overseas and have never been interested in competitive coding.

Great Internship Opportunities

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.

An Honest review of Jadavpur University

Likes

Highest Return of Investment: As I mentioned it has nearly 10000 fees for the whole course, the placement is not cheap like that. The placement ratio is quite good in every branch rather than only for CSE and IT branches.

Course Curriculum: Like the other engineering colleges of India, JU has also a little bit old syllabus. There should be some modern technological subjects in the curriculum for the industry ready engineers.

The fees for the B.E courses are very less as compared to other government engineering colleges. The yearly fees is just ?2400 only which includes tution fees, library fee, devlopment fee,lab fee,and others also. This fee is same for all the categories students. The fees is not increasing for too long till now. Inspite of such less fees , the college provides Freeship facility for the eligible students who got fully fees refunded making the cost free education for the needy.

Jadavpur University: Your place to shine

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.
