Jadavpur University Reviews on Placements, Faculty and Facilities

After the change made by NEP,the curriculum in my faculty has been little tough but as for my course it's really very interesting to learn and beneficial for my future career plans like it would be helpful for those who are preparing for civil services,phd etc. like I said the teachers are top notch but this does not apply to all the professors. There are few profs that needs to be changed because they are not punctual with their sessions and this sometimes leads to incomplete syllabus and then they hurry us with notes just 1week before the examination.

There is a cent percent placement in this course of my university, though there is no placement after ther end of the Bachelors Course. Students are considered eligible from the third semester of Masters course for campus placements. Renowned companies like TCS, Amazon, etc. have had made offers to our students. The highest being thirteen lakhs poer annum offered last year and the average being six lakhs per annum. Hundred percent of students sitting for the placement gets placed at the compaies. My plan afte completing the Bachelors is to continue my studiees further, and apply for the Masters degree from my very own university.

The curriculum is rigorous an all encompassing. Every Monday there is an Internal, there are 2 internals for every subject and a semester exam at the end of the semester. The course is again quite difficult and it is hard to score marks.

The curriculum is one of a kind. It is very rare to find a syllabus so unique as well as relevant to the topics that need the most attention. The frequency and the timing of the exams are well spaced.

It follows through the history of English literature but doesn't stop there- it extends beyond the modern, feminism, queer movement, delves even into physics and metaphysics, history, philosophy. It is truly interdisciplinary, and not at all about how well one can speak English . However the syllabus sometimes seems packed with material, we have to prioritise which one to study for exam and which to skip. But each class is worth attending. The exams are not difficult if one is well versed with the material and regularly attends classes. In exams, there is no way to cheat even if there isnt any invigilator because the questions are completely based off of our understanding and knowledge gathered from the recommended material and background resources. Reading out of the curriculum is the way to survive in this department enrichingly.

The course curriculum varies for different semester. But the one thing that remains constant is that it gives special attengion to critical thinking and creative writing. We have to look at texts and writings from an analytical point of view which in turn increases our thinking skills. It enables us to learn about the writing formats of emails, term papers, abstracts which are very helpful for future academic pursuations. Although the curriculum is an almost perfect one, there is a serious lack of female autors and poets in our syllabus. As a department which actively promotes feminism and equality, more inclusive texts would much more welcomed. The exams conducted are not that frequent and are easy. This is because as a department we believe exams are not a sure way to evaluating our levels. It forces upon us a certain performance and strata of achievement. Many, under that pressure, fails to give their best. This way of thinking is much appreciated amongst us.

Diverse course with inclusivity and encouragement towards modern methods of studying. Quite interdisciplinary and allowes exposure heightened experience and awareness. Audio amd visual approach to the study is encouraged allowing diversity and enhanced understanding of every course.

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.

The subject i opted for is english literature. As someone from. Science background in my higher secondary i naturally found it difficult, as i wasn't aware of most of the history but the teaches and my fellow students were more than happy to help me.

Mich better compared to contemporary colleges. This course actually imparts relevant skills such as creative writing, quick comprehension which I believe is lacking in a lot of colleges. Exams are moderate to hard and focuses on the creative side. Memorization based questions are not to be expected and one has to think out side the box in order to score good marks.
