The college has very good infrastructure and facilities.
Placements: About 8-9 years ago, the rate of campusing was extremely good, but nowadays it is below average. Last year 40-45% of the students got placed after M.Sc in geology. The highest salary package offered was 8 LPA. Companies like Vedanta, Jindal, etc., recruit students from our course. Last year 30% of the students got an internship from our course.
Infrastructure: Labs, classrooms and library are good at our university. Hostels are also good, and there are hostels for girls, boys and physically handicapped. There are several blocks in our hostel. Canteen and medical facilities are available on our campus. We have a big playground, and students play various types of games.
Faculty: Teachers are very helpful, and each department has well-qualified professors. They have extreme knowledge, and we are satisfied. Some of them are eminent scientists and writers of India. They are very cooperative, and their teaching quality is extremely good.

Review of Jadavpur University.
Placements: Placements provided by the college are not good. Only one company visits the campus, i.e., Vedanta (HZL), and it recruits only 6 students. The package offered to the students was 7 LPA. One of the disadvantages is, if you fail in any exam in your entire course, you will not be allowed to sit for placements even if you clear that exam later.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure of the college is moderate. All the classrooms are air-conditioned. Projectors and green board are available in the classrooms. As this department is a centre of advanced study, the laboratories and the library are quite rich. The department has all kinds of geological instruments necessary for advanced research. There are 6 to 7 canteens present in the college.
Faculty: The department is one of the best earth science departments in the country. The faculty are the best. Students can get a thorough knowledge of the subject. Field-work is done for 2 weeks, and it is the best training which helps the students immensely, to get practical experience. It also gives fun.
Other: Jadavpur University has the cheapest fee structure and also provides the world-class education. The fee structure of the Science department is approximately Rs. 1500 per year.

Awesome campus life and awesome teaching system. But, we want some placements.
Placements: There is no placement option after completing B.Sc course. No one is placed after B.Sc in the science stream. After M.Sc, some companies recruited us like Vedanta who gives 7.95 Lacs salary. 6 out of 31 students were placed in this company. There is no arrangement for the internship.
Infrastructure: No Wi-Fi facility is available. The labs are awesome. The classrooms are also good and air-conditioned. The library is good. Sports arrangements are not good. The canteen food is very bad. The hostel rooms are not cleaned. Overall, the infrastructure well. But, we want some fresh and high qualities.
Faculty: The teachers are very helpful, qualified and knowledgeable. The teaching quality was moderate. The boy: girl ratio was about 1:2 In M.Sc. We got industry exposure. The course curriculum was not useful, it should be changed. The faculty are awesome.

East and west, JU Geology is the best.
Placements: Every year, about 8-9 students get placed out of 30. But in the pandemic, the situation only 1 student got placement. The average offered package is about 5 Lacs/ year. HZL, VEDANTA, are the main recruiters. Roles offered for geologist, assistant geologist, petrophysicist, etc.
Infrastructure: JU Wi-Fi is provided for all JU students. Lasbs and classrooms are well maintained but not in good numbers for 50 students (admitted in B.Sc). Classrooms have an air conditioner. Though it is a state university but this department is also sponsored by DST, that's why it is well furnished. Department has a lift also.
Faculty: Every teacher has a PhD degree. Their teaching quality is wonderful. Every student pass within three years. No one has a year lag. Teachers have an average of 15 years of teaching experience.
