A place where all identities can come together and explore!
Placements: We really don't have placements for Undergraduate students rather teaching and other research-related placements are offered during Masters, where a better understanding of the subject knowledge is completed by the individual. Also, I don't know much about the companies, but many students usually pursue a civil service career or as a researcher since the subject of sociology is theoretical more.
Infrastructure: I would say the quality of the facilities is really good. We have air-conditioning classrooms, reading rooms, library, and conference halls. The classrooms are well furnished and I would rather mention that they are very modern. Also the hostel quality is good at the cheapest cost, since its a government University. The food offered to students is very good. Sports facilities are provided.
Faculty: The teachers for the sociology department is quite less but knowledgeable. Many scholars and guest lecturers take our classes who are updated and guide the students in both bilingual, English and other languages (mainly Bengal). Also the course which is provided, is eqaul to the syllabus of UGC NET sociology, one that can prepare for NET/JRF exam for further Ph.D. The semester exams are conducted in a very good format I would say. Unlike other universities, I don't know about other departments, but here in sociology, the question pattern is very good. Only 2 questions are provided from each module, which scores 15 marks each. And therefore a student only need to answer one, (eg. Module 1- 15+ Module 2- 15 = 30). Internals are also conducted accordingly with students convenience. Also the overall marks provided are very well with prestigable sgpa.
Other: I chose Sociology as my major for my personal reasons. Like, Sociology is a subject where one gets to everything happening within the society: it can psychologically individualistic or socially, geographical, economically, historically, or collective. It's like two pieces of bread of a sandwich, where the sandwich is all those subjects that one understands. Also I want to be a social activist and researcher, therefore I pursue this subject. The things which I wish to improve is to engage students with more field work experiences and international national conferences or seminars. The events are marvellous. One dreams to get admission in JU because of the environment. It's safe, it's very friendly to different sexual identities, differently able persons and many more.

Jadavpur University is the best place to learn and explore so many good things.

If a person studies passionately can surely achieve whatever he/she wants in life because placement is provided here it depends on people how can perform.
Infrastructure: All kind of facilities is good. Students do not face any problems. There is free Wi-Fi within the campus students can do any kind of work there. Labs and classrooms are well maintained. The hostel is very good and safe for girls. Good quality food is provided here.
Faculty: Professors are very helpful and good. Exams are taken on time. The faculty is very good here. The teachers are very qualified they did Ph.D. from abroad and have published their books. The semesters are easy because of the way the professors teach us it becomes easy to face the semesters.
Other: I chose this course because I want to become a professor in Sociology.
