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

Placement Experience:

JNU has enough scope for placement however most students often opt for research rather than getting an early job. Placement-related info has been mentioned earlier. I am planning to do a master's in sociology from jnu itself because lately, the subject has been exciting me.

Remarks:

After my 12th board exams, I applied to some colleges (the University of Delhi and Jawahar Lal Nehru University). The University of Delhi offered a variety of courses but gave admission based on board exams. I scored 92.2% on my boards and was getting into many colleges, but I opted for JNU which gave admission based on JNUEE (entrance exam held by JNU, now under CUET). In my, College Reservation is given based on central government rules. Apart from the normal reservation, JNU provides 6 marks for students from backward districts across India. The admission process is largely flexible and smooth. Seniors and student organizations are quite helpful while the admission process and throughout college life. I would surely recommend JNU to all the students.

Placement Experience:

Jawaharlal Nehru University is primarily a research-focused university, and placements are not a significant part of its academic activities. However, many students from JNU pursue higher studies or research, while some opt for careers in various fields. Though there are a few offers which students can grab at the university campus by taking part in activities related to Placements.

Remarks:

The admission process at JNU is a multi-step process that requires candidates to complete various formalities. Candidates need to keep a check on the official website of JNU for the latest updates on the admission process. However, the admission process has changed nowadays. Students need to pass the cuet examination and further qualify for the JNU cut-in off-score to get admission.

Placement Experience:

Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) is primarily a research-oriented university, and therefore, most of the students pursue higher studies or research after completing their programs. However, JNU has a placement cell that facilitates campus recruitment for students who wish to join the corporate sector.

Remarks:

the admission process at JNU is highly competitive, and candidates need to prepare well for the entrance examination to secure admission to their desired program. The admission process of JNU differs for each program, but there are some common steps that candidates need to follow: Registration: Candidates need to register themselves on the JNU admission portal by providing their basic details, including name, email ID, phone number, etc. Application Form: After registration, candidates need to fill out the application form by providing their educational details, personal details, and other relevant information. Uploading Documents: Candidates need to upload scanned copies of their photograph, signature, and other required documents, such as mark sheets, certificates, etc. Cut-offs vary course-wise and year-wise.

Course Curriculum Overview:

I am doing my graduation in the Spanish language. The reason for taking this course was basically the popularity of this language. The center currently has about 170 students in total with 6 professors to guide them. All of the professors hold the degree of Ph.D. in the language and have got a good amount of experience even in foreign universities. The term papers were kind of hectic ( uneven schedule due to covid) in the first two years. But now everything is proper. The difficulty was average.

Remarks:

The eligibility for the course is one should have passed the 10+2 exam. The application form came in the month of Feb and was valid till March. The fee was minimal ( about 250 rupees). The form was available on the official website as well as on different educational sites. The exam also follows the reservation terms which I availed i.e. category reservation (SC). The process was quite smooth.

Course Curriculum Overview:

In French, there are many career scopes. Faculty members are very helpful and intelligent and well taught. All faculty members have done their Ph.D. and their teaching methods are very interesting. I had 2 exams in each semester in each subject Mid sem and end sem.

Remarks:

Anyone can apply here after the 12th for bachelors from any background. It must be 45% marks in 12%. On the jnu site www.jnu.ac.in you can find the form. Application fees are varied for a course or subject wise it is according to cuet. Application dates are from the last week of February to the 30th of March. There are some reservations for sc, st, and obc and female candidates. I found the very easy and fast process for admission.

Remarks:

When I got admission to the JNU BA Japanese course, it was through the JNU entrance examination. Now it's through NTA computer-based. Though filling up the form was easy and cheaper earlier. Now you have to fill out multiple forms and it's expensive also

Course Curriculum Overview:

I always wanted to learn a foreign language and Russian specifically caught my attention because of its rich literature and culture also Russian is a difficult language to learn so I took it as a challenge The faculty consists of 7 members 4 professors and 3 PhD scholars the faculty is great, all the members have been and stayed in for a decent time also the professors are quite experienced and teach really well all 4 professors have done their master's and PhD from Moscow state university Russia, their teaching method is really simple and easy to understand, they respect the fact that the language is new to us and focus individually on each student of the class The faculty is also very supportive and actually put effort to make the students understand better As mentioned before Russian is a difficult language to learn so the exams are also difficult to pass there are generally 3 sessionals and an end sem examination per semester its easy to ace if you attend classes daily

Remarks:

The eligibility criteria are very basic like other universities you just need 60% to apply to any course There is no separate application form for jnu you need to apply through the common university entrance test (cuet) portal the last day to apply for cuet is 30th March 2023 and you must take English (as a language in cuet ) and general test the aggregate of these two would be considered for admission and the application fee is 750 (for general students) the reservation benefits are the same as other central universities I.e lower cutoffs and other benefits for- Scheduled tribes Scheduled castes Other backward castes Physically handicapped students Widows and wards of defence personnel Wards of jnu service mens the cutoffs are generally quite high, the safe score would be 410+ (gen test +eng lang)

Course Curriculum Overview:

Honestly, I chose a foreign language because I observed one could get a job immediately after graduation if you've learned well enough. That too is German because I feel it has the largest market in this sector and less supply. Center of German Studies (CGS) is one of the strictest centers in the School of Languages. The teachers are quite punctual and gritty. However, at the moment, due to a lack of professors, a lot of Ph.D. students teach BA students. The faculty is highly educated, be it the likes of Prof. Babu Thaliath, Prof. Shambhavi Prakash, Prof. Rosy, and so on. You can check out the JNU official page for further details. Different teaching methods are used to make topics interesting and engaging, even though the exams are not monotonous, they can be written, oral, speaking, or listening. The exams are not very difficult if you've paid attention to the classes. You're expected to commit mistakes.

Remarks:

I'm pursuing Bachelor in the German language at JNU. You can apply once your intermediate is completed, there is no minimum percentage requirement as such. You can check out the application dates online. It is generally rolled out in Aug-Sep every year, and the exam is conducted from Oct- Nov. Now we're having entrance via CUET. Back in 2020, we gave an entrance conducted by JNU itself. There is a different cutoff for different languages. If you're someone who comes from the General category and you score 75-80, there are high chances you'll get selected. You've to opt for 3 languages priority-wise. Besides, there are additional points if you're a girl Candidate (+5), if you come from backward districts as per the districts enlisted state-wise (+4/+6). In addition, if you are from the reserved category, your cutoff is lower w.r.t. the unreserved.

Course Curriculum Overview:

Language and literature have always intrigued me and Jawaharlal Nehru University seemed an appropriate place to learn languages as it is credited with NA++ also u get to learn other languages other than from your main course, The teaching method is intense, and the courses are deep and requires thorough knowledge of the language we are learning, also number of exams taken in any semester is quite high which demands rigorous practice and command of the language. There are about 6 main professors assigned to a strength of 40 students in each semester along with 6 subjects. Terms exams are held quite regularly and the last two semesters have been particularly problematic because of courses like translation and literature.

Remarks:

The eligibility for the course was 12 passes from any stream, application form could be easily found on University's official site, which comes around Feb - March every year, the fee for the OBC category was around 700 and the deadline was up to one month. I belong to the OBC category however I scored enough marks to get selected from the general category. I didn't find anything particularly problematic with the admission process.

Course Curriculum Overview:

I am studying Japanese at JNU which means that after doing this course you can go to a corporate and earn money easily. If you are not good in math and you wanted to work in corporate this is the easiest way to go. This is Central University which why student-faculty ratio is quite Good it's 20 students per teacher All the professors are Highly qualified They join the instruction after passing the NET exam and they completed her/his PhD JNU follow a sessional pattern no the term exam which means that you have to give 3 sessional exams that you have to pass 2 and then END term exam JNU offers world-class student that why it is very difficult to pass the exam if you cannot study 2-5 hours daily

Remarks:

If You are interested in taking admitted To JNU in Japanese studies You have to pass class12th exam with minimum 50%marks No matter whether you opted for which course in your 12 exam You can Apply for this course by CUET and the application fee is 500 after that you have to fill Form for JNU that is free of cost Application dates are yet to come for 2023 mostly probably in March 2023. The admission process for JNU is fine
