Jadavpur University Reviews on Placements, Faculty and Facilities

I have loved this subject history since my earlier days, and as I applied for this course which is very lengthy ofcourse and after studying it realising it is very hard to continue it till phd. But mostly I chose this because this subject will be very beneficial for me in the long run for the different civil services exam. The exams system is quite flexible, the pattern and timing depends on the dept and for to e difficulty level the professor try to set the questions covering all of the topics in a direct manner.

This course helps us to understand the society in depth. Past incidents and their impacts makes us realise how to deal with those kind of problems. In the first four semesters we had minor subjects along with major papers. We have two internal exams per paper and these internal exams are taken like class tests. On the other hand we have two semesters per year. Once we understand the topics the questions seems really easy. All the questions are analytical.

Everything is good. Before CBCS was started there was no concept of pass paper in Jadavpur University. Each semester students can choose their elective paper. So if a student chooses different subjects in his 4 semesters then he will not get any pass paper certificate that willl entitle him about some specific subject

I chose the subject as I was interested in learning history. The faculty members are all eminent scholars and hold PHD.degree and the quality of teaching is great. Every sem has various number of papers. For each core paper you have 2 internals of 10marks each and 30marks for sem. Questions are neither too easy nor too difficult to answer. Sometimes they are difficult to be honest, but if you study well then I dont think it would be difficult to pass. 80% of the class have pass marks in the exams.

Placement is mainly for Engg students.. placement take place on the 4th year.. Amazon, Google, FACEBOOK hire employees from here... Last year many students got 1cr package.. more than 95 students get placed

I chose to study History because I found the subject incredibly fun, moreover, it answers a lot of questions that we face on a daily basis today. Our Department had an average of around 60 students per batch in the Undergraduate and Masters classes while the number of M.Phil and Ph.D. Scholars depended on the availability of vacant seats. The teaching staff consists of 15 teachers in our department with at least 5 full-time professors and the rest assistant professors. Most of the faculty members are either Ivy League or JNU or Oxbridge educated, with professors from Presidency and other central universities as well.

The name is enough, Jadavpur University currently is a top ranked autonomous University In India and it's well known for it's alumni network. I was from humanities background and history was my thing and the history department in ju is fair.

It is the best ranked university in state and has great faculty.It gives scope for research in the future which is absent in most other universities and lastly it has a very healthy liberal environment

Our college is really a great place to build oneself. It provides wide range of things to every student. But one negative thing the internship and job opportunities should also be provided for arts students as well along with the engineering faculty.
