Course Curriculum Overview

I chose to study History because I found the subject incredibly fun, moreover, it answers a lot of questions that we face on a daily basis today. Our Department had an average of around 60 students per batch in the Undergraduate and Masters classes while the number of M.Phil and Ph.D. Scholars depended on the availability of vacant seats. The teaching staff consists of 15 teachers in our department with at least 5 full-time professors and the rest assistant professors. Most of the faculty members are either Ivy League or JNU or Oxbridge educated, with professors from Presidency and other central universities as well.

Class Size: 65Course Fees: INR 1270 per year

Fees and Financial Aid

This University is a state-funded government university so the education fees are highly subsidized to around Rs. 75 per month for Arts Faculty and a little higher for Engineering faculty. There are scholarships available for the economically weaker section for which one needs to get in touch with University authorities.

Campus Life

4.5

Jadavpur University has a huge campus. There is an annual fest called Sanskriti which takes place in 3 segments, each hosted by one of the three faculties, Arts, Science, and Humanities. The campus engages the students to think freely and encourages students to question everything from academics to philosophies to politics and society. Jadavpur University has 22 Departmental Libraries and 1 Central Library which is one of the best-stocked libraries in the country. Jadavpur also has various extremely active sports teams like Cricket, Football, Hockey, Rock Climbing, etc, with Numerous clubs to choose from

Admission

The College application process was fairly simple and done online. There was no entrance exam for my particular department, and admission was done based on marks, with different weightage given to different boards. The ones who qualified for the cut-off were called for admission. However, there was a second round of admission to fill the vacant seats among the waitlisted candidates. The application form is on the Jadavpur University website itself, with a very minimum application fee. The dates for admission are decided from year to year based on the dates of board exam results.

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
