Absolutely Satisfied with Faculty and Good Placement.

Infrastructure: Wi-Fi speed is almost average. But here labs are below average as these are old. Classrooms are good. The library is also good, and there are facilities for a digital library. Hostels are older, so their condition is below average. Food quality is good for the mess as well as the canteen. There are lots of facilities for sports and games like football, cricket, volleyball, basketball, table tennis, carrom. Medical facilities are quite good.

Your perception wouldn't ever be the same if you visit the college once.

Infrastructure: We have free Wi-Fi across campus, along with departmental libraries that are stocked with relevant books, journals, and articles. We have a central library and two other common libraries, which total around 40 libraries. Our classrooms have AC with projectors and boards. Hostels are very much up and running, but since I have not availed of them, I cannot vouch for their quality. So far as the campus is concerned, canteen food is quite decent, and the market outside the gate is booming with food ...

A university where quality education meets low fees and excellent faculty.

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.

Jadavpur University where dream meets the reality.

Infrastructure: The campus is well-equipped with departmental libraries, Wi-Fi access in all corners, laboratories, air-conditioned classrooms, and projectors. There are three boys' hostels and two girls' hostels on campus, with affordable fees of INR 5,000 per month, including food. The quality of the food is moderately good. A playground, a basketball court, and proximity to KPC Hospital (1 km away) add to the convenience.

JU Mechanical Engineering course review.

Infrastructure: The rooms are equipped with projectors, campus-wide Wi-Fi is free and unlimited, and libraries are equipped with all necessary books. Laboratories are needed to be upgraded with modern infrastructures and in some cases, basic equipment. Some of the workshops are shut down due to lack of funds.

A brief review of Jadavpur University.

Infrastructure: The facilities and infrastructure at JU are also quite good. The classrooms and labs might feel a bit old-fashioned, but other facilities are good. There is wi-fi to which we have free access. The library has a huge amount of books, journals, magazines, research papers, etc. There is also a common reading room where we can study at pace. As I am not a president of the hostel, I cannot describe the hostel facilities. There are also facilities for sports and games. Competitions for cricket, footba...

Jadavpur, a legendary high ROI producing college.

Infrastructure: On campus, Wi-Fi is available 24/7. The labs are good, but many things are in damaged condition. The library is well maintained. In my hostel, I was allotted a single room from my first year. I stay in a boys' hostel, which is exceptionally good. The meal charges are reasonable, with two meals provided each day at around 22-23 INR. At 10 a.m., we get one piece of fish or a vegetarian item along with unlimited sabji, rice, and dal.

Small campus with mediocre infrastructure but amazing placements and education.

Infrastructure: Facilities are subpar but usable, mainly due to the college not having much funding. Classrooms and labs are fine; however, the bathrooms could use some work. The buildings have also seen a lot of wear and tear due to the college being very old and could use some renovation.

FULL REVIEW OF JU FROM STUDENT

Infrastructure: The labs and classrooms are of very high quality, and the library is fully equipped with all the required books. A digital library is also available for the students. What more can one expect for 10k for 4 years, considering such placements and infrastructure? It’s just one of the best in the country.
