A university where quality education meets low fees and excellent faculty.
Placements: You can sit for placements only after completing a Master's from this department. The highest placement this year was 16.45 lacs, and the average was 10.4 lacs. Many renowned companies hire directly from this department, like Deloitte, HSBC, Citibank, KPMG, and TCS.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure is not that good compared to private universities. But keeping in mind the fees you pay, it's average. The toilets remain mostly unclean, and the Wi-Fi is inconsistent. The classrooms in our department are good, with air conditioning. There are two computer labs and a departmental library.
Faculty: The faculty is excellent; each member is renowned and the best in their respective field. They are very helpful, and the Ph.D. scholars also help when you face difficulties. The course is rigorous but the best in the whole state. You need to sit for a 10-mark exam every Monday, and there are two semester exams conducted every year.

Our college is satisfactory and has a rigorous curriculum.
Placements: The economics course at Jadavpur University has the highest returns for placements. After BA, students pursue higher studies, but if they want a job, the course equips them with all skills that may be needed. For the MA economics, the highest salary package offered is 12 LPA, and the average salary package offered is 7 LPA, which is pretty decent for West Bengal. Top recruiters are Citi Bank and HSBC. Students have a great academic record and even got placed in top universities such as DSE, ISI, IGIDR, IIM, LSE, etc.
Infrastructure: The department is equipped with a resourceful departmental library, and the classrooms are large, airy and air-conditioned. Wi-Fi is available on the entire campus. There are several canteens, which have a variety of food available at reasonable prices. I didn't stay in the hostel, but I heard that it is pretty decent compared to the fee charged, i.e., Rs. 500 per month only.
Faculty: All professors are esteemed and known personalities in economics. The teaching quality varies with professors, ranging from poor to great. Internal and semester exams are undoubtedly the toughest among all comparable courses, and the pass percentage is about 60%. The course curriculum is more inclined towards theory and research than the technological aspects.
Other: Jadavpur University offers the best campus life and exposure. Students here explore different opportunities apart from academics. The college administration is very lagged and needs immediate improvement.
