One of my friends studied at Assam University. According to him, the freshman year was a bit challenging. You would have to adapt yourself to new surroundings and a very different environment. Getting used to the hostel rooms, peers, food, etc. 

• The seniors here are very cooperative and helpful. 
• Although ragging is strictly prohibited, some seniors sometimes might behave mischievously.
• The faculty is well experienced and qualified but never punctual. 
• The academics are terrific and well known for the same.
• The second-year students are expected to organize events such as TechFest without any support from the faculty members. 
• The students put their best in these fests but do not receive any benefits in return.
• The programming culture is absent in the university. 
• The practical classes are covered for formality purposes so as to conduct examinations. The students majorly manage their curriculum on their own.
• Third-year was situated in a central university. 
• The students explore the opportunity to witness open election campaigns for the student council. 

Coming to the positive side of the university, the workload after classes is minimal and you are left with enough time to acquire new skills in coding, gaming, etc. The internet speed is very high and it works to your advantage. You would certainly make friends with amazing people with whom you would make memories to cherish forever.

If you’ll go out to top-notch research institutions and just shout out loud that I am from Jadavpur, you will get to see how many people come to meet you. And alternatively, if you’ll shout out loud something bad then see what happens. Just the same way, go to all IITs and do the same, you will find many students from Jadavpur University. Not only in the colleges, if you’ll go to some reputed organizations also, but you’ll also be able to find students from JU. 

In fact, a very reputed Bhabha Atomic Research Center also has some scientists who are from Jadavpur University. Not only in the scientific field, but students from Jadavpur University are scattered in various other sectors also like literature, politics, businesses, and all around the world. It is really a pity if someone talks about the recognition of the university just because they have a lack of knowledge.
