Remarks

I went for Jadavpur University because of its high rank, it's exposure to different things, the faculty and also because it doesn't have strict regulations. JU gives one a wide range of exposure on many grounds, actively takes part in inter college fests and promotes extra curricular actives. Professors share a good and healthy relationship with their students and no form of bullying is promoted.

Course Curriculum Overview

I personally feel that the management should go for changes in the course curriculum. There are a few professors who fail to complete the most important portions of the syllabus. For eg- we haven't been taught Parsons in our 1st year and haven't been taught Foucault properly. That's a very unfortunate thing because these are are the crux of sociology and are v v important topics. Our professors usually have a very casual approach towards our curriculam and there's no system of extra classes at all. There are students who literally strive to struggle to get good marks but fail to do so, professors never show us our internal papers or tell us where are we going wrong so we really don't have any idea of where we lost marks and what exactly is expected from us by the teachers.

Class Size: 48Course Fees: INR 850 per year

Internships Opportunities

I interned in IIT Kharagpur. However it wasn't provided to me from college. There was no stipend. It was a research based work.

I am not aware of any company visiting our college for recruitment in the department of Sociology, ju.

College Events

Campus Life has been a ride of memories - our university takes part in a lot of activities, sports and indulges in all forms of creative art. Sanskriti and Ibtida are the two most eye catching yearly occassions and attracts huge crowds. 1-2 thousand people are present in these events. Participation is good too, participants from all over the city and even pass outs are allowed to take part.

Campus Life

Infrastructure of our college is mediocre. We have a departmental as well as main library. I don't know much about the labs because I don't have much idea about science and engineering students. For the arts students, administration is poor.

NOT RECOMMENDED

Likes

Campus is nice. There's greenery and all
SOME of the faculties are really good and those said teachers will actually look out for you and care
Mentors are appointed for each students who are responsible for their final year project, publications and LORs. If you are lucky, you'll get a good mentor.

Dislikes

Classrooms are less compared to the number of students. Students have to wander around the building after each classes to find seats. Classrooms are very dirty
There's literally NOTHING in the labs. Experiments take way long to prepare and perform because reagents and equipments are never available.
Hardly a 2 week summer break (because of MAKAUT). Students cannot even apply to good internships because no lab would take in external students in july or august.

Placement Experience:

People who major in my department usually opt for masters over placement not because of this college but because overall industrial or academic opportunities are better with a pg degree. Masters from this college is not recommended as i have heard so from my seniors. Some of my seniors managed to crack competitives and secure MSc seats at great places. Training and Placement cell had a good coordinator previously but now its almost non existent. Companies do come and hire Bpharm, Mpharm and MSc candidates. Packages are below average. Only Nestle pays well. But if you do well you'll eventually climb up the corportate ladder. From the time i am here i have not heard of any BSc candidate getting placed. Most go for higher studies.

Campus life: Hype vs Truth

Likes

The discipline is followed very strictly.Also you have access to library which is good,teachers are helpful and no ragging policy which is strictly followed and has a decent environment.
Thery conduct seminars which encourages students.Many faculty members are knowledgeable experienced in their respective subjects and helpful willing to solve doubts beyond the classroom also.
The college has decent infrastucture including classrooms,labs and library .

Dislikes

While the curriculum is decent ,it lacks sufficeint practical implementation.More hands on projects,real world application and industry exposure would improve learning significantly.
Campus life can sometimes fell limited in terms of active student interaction.Opportunites for clubs,networking and collaborative activities could be improved.
The college comes under St tHomas School so the campus is not great it is compact and has a canteen.

Placement Experience:

I heard it from seniors that before lockdown it was pretty decent but after lockdown the company visits are not that much comapred to before lockdown.Cognizent, Accenture, Mindtree, PQ360 which is a startup company of our senior alumni etc. visits.

Likes

Here effective teaching methods and are always available for guidance.
The campus environment is student-friendly, with healthy academic atmosphere.
Buliding a strong Foundation for higher studies and PSC preparation

Dislikes

Classrooms are sometimes overcrowded, the library has limited updated resources.
Placement support is minimal for courses like History.
There is limited digital access - poor wi-fi Connectivity and lack of e-library facilities.

Course Curriculum Overview:

The curriculum is relevant and theory-rich, ideal for further academic pursuits like UPSC and PSC. I chose History Honours for its analytical depth. Exams are semester-based, moderate tough. Teaching can improve with more discussions and digital learning tools.

The Pros and Cons of Joining Jadavpur University Masters of Arts in Economics

1) I applied for Delhi School of Economics, however couldn't manage an admission due to the extreme cutoff on CUET exam for the same. I had confirmed admission from North Bengal University, however it was not feasible since I had a choice in Jadavpur University. Jadavpur University has the best rank among all other colleges I had a confirmed admission to, so I chose this University. 2) I wanted to study in Delhi School of Economics, but couldn't make it there due to the extensive cutoff in CUET which I unfortunately couldn't clear. 3) Jadavpur University conducts its own internal exam for admission into its esteemed Masters of Arts [M.A.] programme. However one can get through by CUET exams as well, however that needs a decent score. The cutoff in the internal exam is around 70% for General Category and for CUET, the cutoff varies yearly....Read More
