Remarks

Compared to the education provided the fee structure is extremely reasonable: Rs1235 during admission and Rs 950 per year for re-admission. The admission process was completely based on class 12 marks in our time. Now the system has changed and one needs to sit for an entrance examination. Before joining the university I researched a lot about it on Quora and was highly convinced about it.

Course Curriculum Overview

4.5

I chose to pursue Economics Hons from Jadavpur University due to its extensive mathematical approach towards the subject. The course is well defined and one gets to know a lot beyond the scope of an undergraduate book. The faculty members are extremely knowledgeable and there are nearly 17-18 faculty members, each teaching a particular course. Weekly internals takes place in our department and thus there is a huge pressure to comprehend the subject and solve complex problems during the examination.

Class Size: 84Course Fees: INR 1235 per year

Placement Experience

3.5

There is campus placement after completion of Masters degree. Companies like HSBC, Citi, Genpact and many more come every year to select the best minds of our city. The highest package is usually Rs 11 LPA and the average package comes to be Rs5lpa with almost 60% of the students been placed.

Fees and Financial Aid

Admission fees are just Rs 1235 and re-admission fees is Rs 950 per year. The semester fees are also very nominal, ranging from Rs 45 to Rs 55. One may apply for financial aid if needed. The scholarship is provided only to students who have very low family income.

Campus Life

4.5

Being a public university it is often misunderstood that the class amenities will be poor. But the reality is not this since our department got air-conditioned rooms. We have a central library which is used by the students of the entire university and a departmental library for each department. There are plenty of clubs and societies: Painting club, Debating Society, Music club, Dancing club, Drama club, Photography club, Mountaineering club and many more. Events like MUN, Woman's Conclave, Youth Parliament and many more took place every year and you can get a lot of exposure by participating in the events.

It's a good college with well disciplined atmosphere.Due to comparatively higher fee structure and non availability of Masters program I left it.

My Experience at Jaipuria to summed it up.

Likes

Quality education and an academically enriching environment. Most importantly, well- versed professors.
Extra- curriculum activities, along with an active sports cell and NCC, and usually various opportunities to participate in Inter-College Competitions.
Well maintained gym with separate timings for girls and boys. The canteen offers a wide variety of foods at an affordable price.

Dislikes

For my department, there was no educational excursion.
Negligence internship opportunities are available for my course.
Only some placement opportunities are available, and companies like TCS and Wipro came up for campus placement.

Course Curriculum Overview:

My passion and a bit of curiosity in International Relations led me to choose this course. The curriculum, in fact, prepared me well for further academic pursuits. For improvement, educational excursions and internship opportunities should be made available. The exam is held twice a year on semester basis, with papers set at a moderate to difficult level.

A balanced view of campus life and learning

Likes

The English department has experienced and supportive teachers. Most professors explain concepts clearly and encourage discussions, close reading and critical thinking.
The course is very affordable, especially compared to private colleges. With scholarships, it becomes accessible for students from middle and lower income backgrounds.
The college has a friendly and diverse student crowd. The girls to boys ratio is balanced with slightly more female students, which creates a comfortable learning atmosphere.

Dislikes

The infrastructure needs improvement. Classrooms and common areas could be better maintained and modern facilities are limited.
There are very few placement opportunities for arts students.
Although some academic events take place, extracurricular activities and active student societies could be improved for better campus life.

Placement Experience:

There are limited on campus placement opportunities here, especially for Arts and Eng Hons students. Most students focus on higher studies, competitive exams or off campus opportunities after graduation. The college provides basic guidance through teachers but formal placement drives are rare.

Ramakrishna Mission Vidyamandira: A Life Changing Experience

The college has an ideal atmosphere for studying and the hostel accommodation allowed for close bonding with seniors who helped us out in studies as well as personal matters. The teachers are extremely talented and treated us with care and respect.
It is an all boys college and it is without any doubt a ragging-free campus. There is anti-ragging cell as well as student councelling cell available on the campus to help out with these issues.
The experience of hostel life and the close sense of community that is formed during my stay has been instrumental in my growth and the strict implementation of discipline in our daily lives enriched me and changed my life for the better.

Dislikes

The administration is not always the best. Applications, forms, seminars and event permits all required a long time to get approved by the authorities as most of the time it meant compromising our strict schedule as it is a residential college.
The average food quality in the mess could be better. Again it is not always the best but for the most part it is decent.

Course Curriculum Overview:

The curriculum provides a comprehensive retrospective of literature from the Old English period to Modern period, while also including English works by Indian authors to demonstrate the diversity and evolution of English literature over the years. The current curriculum I believe requires more seminars and lectures from guest faculties on contemporary research and topics.

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
