An Honest review of Jadavpur University

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.

Dislikes

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.

Student Snaps:

Fees and Financial Aid:

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.

How My Journey Continuing In Jadavpur University

Compared to other collages in pan India JU's fees is much lower than any of well known NIT or IIT's. While admission we paid only 5000 for seat reservation and for collage it just a little bit more than 200 rupees. While I was in 3rd year There is a readmission process where for last two years ww neeed to pay 2400 rupees. Including everything the complete couse fees is 10,000 for 4 years UG Degree in Mechnical Engineering. For semester fees it is always under 100 for mechanical depertment and for supple exams this fees doesn't increase that much alays under 100 rupees. There is many scholership schemes are there in JU. Though my family income isnot more than 2 lack per year and no gov. employ is present in our family I recieved SVMCM every year which provides 60,000. Also some of my friends recievs ONGC, Siemens Scholerships and also our university provides Alumni and Freeships scholerships.

Jadavpur University - through the lens of souranil

It's famous for its return of investment. Actually people says Jadavpur has better ROI than many IITs. You can grab great placement though giving just 12k fees.

Jadavpur University is a state funded university, so it's fees is barely negligible. Our four years engineering course overall costs around 12k. Actually we got Jadavpur University through WBJEE exam and it's the top college of wbjee. Also it has a huge amount of home state quota as it's funded by state government. Though the fee is bare minimum our university and govt provides different type of scholarship also. Whose family income is less than 2.5lakhs per annum they get a scholarship named SVMCM of 60k per year. And I don't think there are any case of caste grading for fees due to it's negligible amount. Also our alumni base funds scholarship for needy and meritorious students.

Amazing college!!

The year wise fees are extremely low and affordable which makes this college a standout place to further your education. The fees are less than 99% of colleges in the country. For an engineering btech degree it is about 10000 per year.

Jadavpur University: The Confluence of Creativity and Academic Excellence

The curriculum is always regularly updated to keep pace with industry changes and global perspectives.

The yearly fees is Rs 2500 to be precise. However, they take 5000 during the admission itself. At the commencement of 3rd year they charge Rs2750 and again the same amount at the beginning of 4th year. The caution deposit is 500Rs. The registration fees is 1800. The tuition fees is monthly 500. The lab fees breakup is uneven (different for each semester) However, one can roughly take it as 50 per month. No development fee is charged to the best of my knowledge. This fee structure is valid for general students like me. For quota students, it is the same but the catch is that they receive scholarship of Rs 10000 per year provided by the Alumni Association of the University. Besides students with less than 2.5 lakh annual income can apply for SVMCM scholarship provided by the State Government.No merit certificate is required for any of these as the students have already cleared WBJEE.

Jadavpur University Insights

Specifically in my department there several practical aspects like workshops, laboratories, etc.
I love this university very much. In the university there are a huge. number of opportunities if one can complete their course properly.

Lastly infrastructure. As the annual fee is very low, the infrastructures are a bit unorganized.

Tuition fees are very low here. Students with lower financial background can easily pursue engineering here. For IT Department the yearly fees are approximately 26000 rupees and for any other department it is only approximately 2600 rupees. You can get many scholarship opportunities such as SVMCM. Currently I am in first year so I don’t know much about placements and internships.But from my seniors I hear that there are numerous Job offers and internships.
