A University where everything is FREE.
Placements: Most students do not wish to be placed as JNU itself is a life time placement. There is complete freedom to do anything. One can eat anything, drink anything smoke anything. In fact it is so free that everything is paid by people of India. Infrastructure, rooms etc. Its like 5 star property with just 10 rs a month. Food electricity every thing is Free. In fact you get paid for just passing time and enjoying discussing high level issues like How we can divide India in smaller states.
Infrastructure: Superb it is a five star property. Rooms are big with attached Bathrooms. And complete furniture. You to pay a lot for this which is approximately INR 10 per month. Of course after paying so much they provide free Food, Water, Electricity, Wi-Fi, and medical facilities. One has to spend lot of time at variuos Adds where we are tuaght to shout slogans and protest.
Faculty: Teachers and professors are from Left and have been trained to save themselves from the highly intellectual students of JNU. Most students stay in the state of Nirvana. The discussions are encouraged with slogan shouting protests and even Police can not do anything to the students.
Other: Just to enjoy in JNU and have freedom of expression.
