FAQs on Jai Narain Vyas University ME Digital Communications
Straight answers to what students ask before they decide.
Is ME Digital Communications at JNVU worth the fee?▾
Yes, for most students who get placed. The full fee without hostel is INR 1.17 Lakhs and the published average pay is INR 4.5 LPA, so the fee is low against pay. If a loan will pay the fee, read the EMI line in the fee block above before you decide.
Should I take this seat if my rank is just above the closing rank?▾
Not on last year's number alone. The General Open seat seat closed at rank 12,400 in final list and it got tougher three years in a row, so a rank that just cleared last year may miss this year. Keep this college in your list with a safer college above it, and use the rank checker above for your own category.
What job will I get after this course?▾
Most students look for telecom, electronics and public sector roles after this course. The latest published batch averaged INR 4.5 LPA, the median was INR 4 LPA and 45% placement rate is the published working figure. If you want a only coding work, this branch is not the right pick.
Who should not take this course here?▾
Skip it if you need a single room from the first year, or if you want internships in a big city. First-years share three to a room and single rooms open only from first year. The campus is in a Jodhpur campus, so the placement cell brings most internships and few come on their own. If either of these matters more than the placement figures, pick a different college.
Is this course good for higher studies and research?▾
Yes, if you plan for it from first year. The course has no minor and no specialisation before first year, but the electives in semester 3 and 4 cover digital signal processing and wireless networks, and the final project can lead to a research paper. Talk to the department in first year about a project with a faculty member, because that is what a good master's application needs.
Should I wait a year and try for a better rank?▾
Only if you can raise your score by a lot, not a little. The General closing rank got tougher three years in a row, so a small gain may still miss the seat next year. If you already clear this year's cutoff, take the seat now and try a course change after first semester if you want a sibling branch.
Will I get placed if I am in the bottom half of the batch?▾
Most likely yes, but later and at a lower package. 45% of the last batch was placed, and the median of INR 4 LPA is lower than the average of INR 4.5 LPA because the last students take the smaller offers. Keep your CGPA above the cutoff the companies set, usually 7, and join the placement training the cell holds in first year.
Is this branch better than ECE at this college for me?▾
Pick Digital Communications if you want a communication systems job and ECE if you want a electronics and communication work. Digital Communications places a bigger share of its batch with product companies, and its closing rank is the tougher of the two. If you get ECE now and want Digital Communications, the course change after first semester needs a top CGPA, so do not count on it.
How do I get admission to this course?▾
Take the GATE or merit exam and fill this college in your JNVU Admission Cell choice list. A seat comes in the round your score clears, and you must accept it and pay the seat fee within the days JNVU Admission Cell gives. Then report with your papers on the date in the admission dates block above, or you lose the seat.
What is the full fee for the course?▾
The full 2-year fee is INR 1.17 Lakhs without hostel. With hostel and mess it comes to INR 1.89 Lakhs. Both totals sit in the fee block above, and the toggle there shows what the hostel adds each year.
Can I pay the fee in parts?▾
Yes. You pay the tuition fee semester by semester, so the money is never due all at once. If you need smaller parts than that, write to the fee office before the semester starts; the request opens every August.
Do I get the fee back if I drop the seat?▾
It depends on when you leave. If you leave before the counselling body's exit date, most of the fee comes back. If you leave after it, the college keeps a part, so read the refund table in the fee block before you pay.
