I appreciated the importance of education that Jadavpur University always emphasized upon. The faculty and the teaching, the courses have helped me practice my research skills.

Dislikes

The syllabus for Comparative Literature could use some changes, with respect to including newer aspects of literature, moving away from few of the classically foregrounded courseworks.

Fees and Financial Aid:

Jadavpur University's fee structure, yearly for MA Comparative Literature, is INR 980. At the time of registration and admission, we had to pay INR 1250, which included registration fees, library fees, maintenance fees and overall tuition fees. Over the duration of the course, we did not have to essentially pay any amount, given that the university encourages almost minimal expenditure on education and upholds its values of providing almost free education. It is established that decent scholarships for underprivileged students and students from diverse marginalised backgrounds. It emphasised equal access to education; therefore, students in categories such as disabled and multiple reservation categories can opt for scholarships based on their merit. These scholarships range from partial to fully funded, but are only based on merit with regard to entrance exam scores. The Government Scholarships provided by the West Bengal Government are one such renowned scholarship, availed by students from the reservation categories. Students often avail Financial Need-Based scholarships as well, which mostly exempts their tuition fees.
