What students say about Jawaharlal Nehru University - [JNU]


Likes

  • I chose this course because I want to be a scientist, and Jawaharlal Nehru University is one of the best platforms for that.
  • Make a chart of tourist places in Delhi and read their history as well as information about the places in the language you are learning at university. It will have a positive impact on your work.
  • Every year, the university has a placement cell that invites top companies like IBM, WIPRO, HP, DELL, etc., for job opportunities.
  • The cost of the 1-year fee is Rs. 106, which is very affordable and extremely good.
  • Jawaharlal Nehru University is one of the most prestigious universities in India; therefore, the campus life is awesome.
  • The best part of staying in a hostel is that you get to stay with your friends and you dont have any time limit to come in or out of the university or hostel.
  • This is the best university in India, and it has very talented professors and a beautiful campus as well.

Dislike

  • They said income increases with an increase in qualification, but its not the case for a sociologist.
  • I did not get a chance to venture into the placement cell and explore other job opportunities during my time in JNU for the reasons mentioned above.
  • India has the lowest cost of studying at JNU, where the fees are only 200 rupees per semester. Additionally, there are only monthly mess charges of 2800 rupees.
  • When a student gets admission to JNU, they are not sufficient. He/she has to spend a few months in the dormitory, and the condition of the hostel is also not good; it needs urgent repairing

Course Curriculum Overview:

I have chosen this course because I have an interest in historical studies and also graduated in history Hons. Here we have imparted research oriented studies. The faculties take care of every individual student. The medium of instruction and exam is only English. There is a tutorial method for the overall development of students. There is a 10:1 ratio of students and teachers. The Faculties here are very supportive and are mostly senior professors. The University is very strict with its academic calendar. There is very much academic pressure and not any substitute for study.

Remarks:

I have been admitted to this course through the CUET PG entrance exam. You have to have a graduation degree from any course for admission. NTA conducts the entrance exam every year. It will release the application in the last week of March and the exam will be held in June. Fees for the CUET PG exam will be 600 and after clearing the CUET exam you have to register for the university to where you want to take admitted, the fees for the registration depend on the university like in JNU it is 250. I have got benefits of OBC reservation in admission and for allotment of the hostel. NTA should improve the quality of the question paper for the entrance exam.

Placement Experience:

Since JNU is essentially a research institute, a majority of the students here pursue higher studies in academia rather than looking out for jobs. Still, that doesn't mean absolutely zero placement interests or opportunities. One can apply through the placement cell of the university and can grab a job offering a decent package. Talking about myself, I am a UPSC aspirant and belong to the other major lot of students from JNU, apart from those who pursue academics.

Remarks:

Talking about the eligibility for the course, a candidate must have passed a Bachelor's degree in the 10+2+3 pattern, in any discipline with at least 50% marks. Now that the University takes its postgraduate admissions through the Common University Entrance Test (CUET) for PG admissions; one can easily find the direct link to the application form on the official website of NTA, as and when the forms are out. The fee for filling out the application form for CUET- PG is 600/- (this is valid for opting for any 3 papers that one might wish to sit for). One would have to pay an additional fee while applying for every extra paper after having applied for 3 papers already (this is regarding the CUET application form). Keep your original documents ready to avoid any unnecessary hustle during the document verification process at the time of admission.

Course Curriculum Overview:

The course I am studying is Spanish language and literature. They teach us about the Cultures of Spain and Latin America as well. We get to know about the language. They teach it all like oral, listening and writing as well. Overall the teachers are highly qualified and well student-friendly. They cooperate with students in every situation not only in their studies but in other fields also.

Remarks:

I qualified JNUEE for taking admission here. For that, I read reasoning, maths and English as well. One can find its application form on jnu.ac.in. It was really fruitful for me to come here and have an opportunity to study in one of the premium institutes of India. JNU provides the best platform for everyone in every field. JNU gives the environment for studies here one can easily find a group of people talking about the current National and international events at Dhabas. So yes, JNU provides an overall development and a way of thinking to everyone which helps an individual to nourish himself or herself.

Course Curriculum Overview:

I was interested in knowing more about the politics of the country, additionally, it was going to help me out with my UPSC optional. Though the faculty-student ratio has increased now, still professors are easily accessible to discuss. One can approach their chambers, also each student gets an academic advisor allotted. The faculty here is one of the best in the country, even overseas. That is the foremost reason why students want to be here. The teaching method is very impersonal, where Faculty itself has the power to design the syllabus and assess them as they want. The course is not easy, and rigorous and one should engage properly in the readings to write good answers and develop a deep understanding. Centre for political studies (CPS) takes two mid-semester exams and one end-semester exam in a semester.

Remarks:

When I applied for my master's in pol sc from JNU, it was NTA who was the conducting authority. There were 100 questions from core political science for the course POLM, in which the cut-off was around 75 for general. Mention, the entrance is one of the toughest as the number of aspirants is quite high. However, there was no negative marking back then. One should score at least 55% in their bachelor's to be eligible. All the information regarding the entrance exam, be it the application form, application fees, and application dates is easily available on NTA official website. Reservation at the entrance gets applied as per the UGC guidelines, but to highlight, JNU also offers additional deprivation points to girls and persons from marginal backgrounds. It ranges from 2 to 12, depending upon gender and quartile district lists. The admission process was smooth, but now the pattern changed after CUET arrived.

I chose this course because it is a very popular language and faculties are very supportive as well. They help you every time and if you get stuck then they make things easier for you. Each and every faculty is well qualified.

Remarks:

I got admission here by JNUEE in 2018 with B.A. Right now I am pursuing a Master's in the Spanish language. Here you get 6 marks for the quartile district and reservation can also be availed. Each and every year now CUET is organized through which you can take admission here now.

Course Curriculum Overview:

CHS is the best department for doing master's and PhD in history in India. Historians like Bipin Chandra, Romila Thapar, and Aditya Mukherjee have been faculty members here so did a master's here has always been my dream. There is 1 professor for every 7-10 students in master's. there are two tutorial+discussions instead of term papers which accumulate 50 marks and one end sem exam takes place for every course for 50 marks.

Remarks:

Eligibility is graduation in any subject Admission was through JNUEE Cut off was 69 for OBC MA medieval history Deprivation points for various districts. The application fee for BPL was 110rs it varies from Category wise.

Course Curriculum Overview:

Department of sociology is named as Centre for the study of the social system i.e. CSSS. As the name suggests it is the centre for the study which means both students and Teachers will learn. CSSS is counted in the top 50 departments of sociology in the world. We have superb faculty including Prof. Surinder Singh Jodhka, professor Abhijit Pathak, Prof. V Sujata, and some foreign-trained Professors like Ratheesh Sir and Divya mam. We have almost 15-20 professors and all are well-trained in their discipline. Most of them have completed their degree from CSSS. As the course has 4 semesters, you have to appear for the end-semester exam. To be eligible for the end-semester exam, you have to submit some term papers and presentations. But it's not "halwa" at all. You have to work hard, attend classes, and submit term papers and other formalities. You have to read articles and explore books. Unless and until you will not submit the assignment you can't sit for the end semester exam.

Remarks:

From last year i.e. 2022, you have to apply for CUET (Central University entrance test). This test is for all universities like DU, JNU, and others. Eligibility:- you must have a bachelor's degree, irrespective of subject and stream. Admission process:- apply for CUET. It is conducted by NTA. Every University will release its specific cut-offs. You have to check about this regularly. Application fees are nearly 500-1000. Applications mostly release in May-June but due to COVID, in 2021 and 2022 applications started in July- August. The exam happened from September - October. The exam will be conducted in CBT mode as usual. If you will clear the exam. Then for JNU, you have to pay the fees on the same portal, and they will give you some tasks like attaching some affidavit and certificate. You have to attach them and then the university will call you for physical verification. Here you are done. reservation is the same as other exams. But 5 deprivation points are given to all girls.
