The course curriculum of Mechanical Engineering at Jadavpur University is unique. There is no common first-year programme that mechanical subjects are taught right from the first semester. However, the syllabus is just too long and irrelevant. Some subjects like Advanced algebra and advanced engineering mechanics are there which a student will need only if he/she opts for masters. There are just too many subjects in each semester. Faculties in the department are very experienced and professional. Exams are conducted on time. However, the results are not at all published timely. A major improvement is required. Students face serious problems in renewing their scholarships due to this sluggish examination system.
