What Students Say

Likes

The faculty is supportive and helped me a lot.

Course Curriculum Overview

I chose Bachelor's in English since I wanted to pursue my career in research studies in literature. The overall faculty is good and all are dedicated to shaping the students' life. Since the faculty was dedicated it wasn't difficult to pass the exam.

Class Size: 80Course Fees: INR 8000 per year

Fees and Financial Aid

The course fee was budget-friendly. It was around INR 8,000; however, it might change. I didn't apply for a scholarship or financial assistance. However, there was no provision for job placement or internship opportunities back then.

Campus Life

2.5

The campus life was fun. We had an annual sports day and fest as well. The library is well-equipped with all the necessary books. We had different seminar rooms where seminars regarding different fields were conducted.

Admission

The admission process was conducted based on merit marks. The course eligibility is a minimum of 90% in class 10+2. With regard to the application form, the college website released an advertisement where all the related details were mentioned and the application was released on the college website.

nothing much. Everything was good overall. If only the college could guide a bit about the placement program then it could be better.

Course Curriculum Overview:

The curriculum is comprehensive and relevant covering literary theory, diverse texts and critical analysis. It prepares students for research and teaching. Exams are moderately challenging and well scheduled throughout the semester.

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

Likes

Lush green and lovely campus, gives a perfect city vibes as well as greenery around
Huge social influence, and good knowledgable people around who are ready to discuss on any intellectual topics.
Expert faculty with proper emphasis on lecture quality, delivery, etc. Every faculty has a phD in their respective field.

Dislikes

Hectic lifestyle, there is a bit of pressure on syllabus completion
Exams conducted are a bit difficult with a higher frequency on conducting
Lack of Funding for campus development and deployment of proper infrastructure.

Placement Experience:

Students are eligible for applying for internships after the 3rd semester, and students can apply for placements only after 4th semester. Companies like Ericsson, Ernst and Young, JPMG makes visits our department for mostly analyst roles for economic and fundamental trading decisions. The highest offer made was 45LPA while the average is 7.5LPA. The median pakage is 8LPA. Almost 90% students secure placements after completing their degree since the Training and placement cell is pretty proactive in securing good company visits. I plan for investing and analyst roles in banking companies. I would sit for placements hoping for the same.

However, by that time I had already secured admission to Jogomaya Devi College....Read More
