Abhisek Dutta's Review On Jadavpur University - [JU], Kolkata

It's a premium institute in India and very reputed in the field of Science and Technology. Being a science student, it was the best institute to get admitted. The teachers are very good and department has a lot of facilities to explore. Number of professors are quite large and they belong to versatile fields, so you'll get a lot scope to choose your field of studies during your master's or Doctorate.

The course structure is well up to the mark. The syllabus structure was very nice and we'll divided in each semesters. It had a great deal of studying different fields as your special papers including a dissertation research scheme in the final semester. The department has more than 40 teachers in Physics and they belong to versatile fields. Hence you'll get a lot of options for your advanced studies or dissertation work.

Two libraries were accessible for the students - departmental and Central Library. Both are enriched with huge number of books.The environment was really well, the seniors are quite helpful in a lot of ways.

The job opportunities are quite high. Different institutions, MNCs are always there for Placement. Mostly the placements are found in academics and other related fields.
