What Students Say

Likes

Friendly faculty and calm atmosphere to study
Canteen food is nice and we also have a printout and photocopy shop in the college itself

Dislikes

Not every room is air conditioner. It's unbearable during summer
Not enough books in library to go through

Course Curriculum Overview

I opted for Masters in English because I have an imaginative mind and i don't see myself doing any other thing. There are around 60 seats for doing masters in Women's College. The faculty are pretty good. Some have done their PHD and it's truly delightful to attend their classes. We have semester based exams which were generally conducted on time. As per the CU Guidelines. It's not difficult to pass if one studies well and shows originality of work and not mug up the answers from their tution teachers also the pass marks is 20 out of 50 per paper.

Class Size: 60Course Fees: INR 18000 per year

Fees and Financial Aid

The fees is 9000 per semester which I think is pretty alright considering it's semi- government. The college itself doesn't provide any scholarship but I did get Kanyashree K3 scholarship which is a scheme under the state government.

Campus Life

We do have an annual fest and picnic sort of recreation. There are pretty good number of books available in library. I must say it's not enough but one can get a bit of assistance from them. There are some literary groups which are run by students themselves.

Admission

Eligibility for general students is 50 percent in BA and there was no entrance exam as such. I got admitted through the CU counselling process. Yes, there is benefits for reservation category students.

Likes

classes, concept clearing process, teachers with friendly behaviour

Dislikes

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.

The behavior of the college staff is very good along with the teachers.
The campus is huge, along with a lot of amenities such as AC & smart classrooms, playgrounds, library, auditorium etc.
The college provides a great learning opportunity by internship opportunities at various companies.

There is a reason to worry as there are a lot of thieves around that area.
The nearby places of the college are not very safe, especially for women to travel at night.
The admissions criteria of this college are very tough. A student has to be highly qualified.

Course Curriculum Overview:

I chose this course because I had a keen interest in this subject. The faculty was very good, including the staff members and the academic teachers as well. The teachers were highly qualified and helped a lot in their studies. The exams were held timely under the supervision of the college staff members.
