Sanjukta Chatterjee's Review On Jadavpur University - [JU], Kolkata

One of the best Universities offering specialization in International Relations at a very less amount with the best faculty members. Attendce is not compulsory- a benefit that allows many students to pursue internship alongside their regular course. I opted for the course especially to pursue my career either in Civil service or in the teaching profession. It's a course that has enabled me to understand more about the affairs of the international world. The tendency to continuously learn about what's going around us what's happening across the globe, to research and learn about diverse issues and their underlying core dimensions. The tendency to learn more and more about new issues and offering solutions to it. The journey of this 2year full time degree has been about researching on diverse topics, know the underlying root causes of the issues. International affairs has always been about challenging the world and this course has enabled me to understand these challenging concepts.

The course has always been an updated one. In fact our professors have time and again instructed us to keep a check on current affairs and include them as much as possible in the answers. Regular interactive sessions on current affair topics were a part of class discussions. We were provided enough industrial exposure to research on current topics and that has been immensely helpful. Faculties especially to name a few Prof Kakoli Sengupta, Prof Iman Kalyan Lahiri Prof Abdul Matin have always undertaken initiatives that provided enough exposure to us. They always directed their topics to relate those with current issues across the nation and the globe. They have been the best professors ever.

I was chosen for Gandhi Fellowship offered by Piramal Foundation but it has laid back due to the current Corona situation.

Mostly Ngos to name a few -Pradhan, and Media based internships like Zee networks amd Gandhi Fellowship offered by Piramal Foundation etc have visited University campus for conducting placements. 4-5 people are chosen per internship because the selections process is very tough. alumni networks and the placement department works closely to ensure a smooth process of the interview and the whole process.

As far as Extracurriculars are concerned My university is quite ahead for it organizes biggest fests ever to name a few - One of our departmental Conference is International Relations Scholastic Conclave (IRSC) which takes place every year calling various university students to participate in various sub events in it be it debate or paper presentation. Another huge fest organized by the university Engineering faculty is Sanskriti calling various dikebsios-Danxe Music, debate, paper presentation so on and so forth.

Campus infrastructure pertaining to library includes 2 libraries One is the Departmental Library the other is the Central library -Both libraries are huge spacious and air conditioned with access to updated books, magazines, journals, e-books, e-journals with access to wifi. As far as Sports event are concerned the university keeps all kinds of sports tournaments for it's students.
