If you are into academia, then Jawaharlal Nehru University s a good-to-go.

Faculty: Course outline is amazing. Don't expect every teacher to be exceptionally well. But most of the teachers are good enough. Curriculum is not that hard. If you study consistently, there is nothing to worry. The course is less hectic compared to the course outline of Centre for Political Studies.

Not good for students who are seeking campus placement opportunities.

Faculty: Faculty members are not good. New staff lacks teaching experience and are unable to teach us without using PPT or handbook notes. Faculty members need to understand that skilled and qualified teachers are required for teaching.

The library is quite good, and the study material is updated with time.

Faculty: The ratio of faculty to students is approximately 1:30. Every batch gets quality education. There are also many exchange programs. One can go to another country by applying for scholarships. Then, the exam is conducted, and the students get funds from the same company. The faculty guides students with their best efforts. They teach us with their whole heart and knowledge. We can interact with the faculty whenever we have genuine issues or queries regarding the syllabus.

Good environment, but lacks in infrastructure, and placements.

Faculty: Many faculty members lack teaching skills; many start telling their own stories; many are self-centric; and only a few of them are really interested in teaching the subject allotted to them. This is the area in which the university needs to work the most.

India's lowest price MCA offline course.

Faculty: The teachers are very helpful and have excellent knowledge in their fields. The semester exams are not that difficult, and if we study properly in class, we can get good marks. The pass percentage is 100%, so no student fails here. The course curriculum is relevant, but they start with so many basic subjects that we have already studied in the BCA course. Then, in the next semester, they suddenly shift to hard subjects. But overall, the course curriculum is fine.

Big campus, vibrant life, and great exposure from Jawaharlal Nehru University.

Faculty: On coming to teachers, excellent staff because they are highly educated from top universities, NITs , IIITs, so we can get a lot of knowledge from them. Coming to the course curriculum, it was also nice because they are providing only CSE and ECE, so placements will be good. Coming to the difficulty of exams, it is not much difficult, and the pass percentage is 35%.

You can get a lot of career and personality development opportunities.

Faculty: The faculty-to-student ratio is one mentor for every 30 students. I really liked Dr. Anjana; she was very polite and her helpful nature attracted me. The best faculty member was Dr. Anjana. There was also a teacher named Anubhav, whose nature was arrogant, which I didn’t like, but he left the college after some time. Mid-term exams and weekly tests were conducted before the semester exams, with 35% of students failing to clear them. The course curriculum was fully relevant.

My experience so far has been quite enriching.

Faculty: Teachers are very helpful and they are highly knowledgeable. Teaching approaches are more towards critical thinking over rote memorization. Emphasis on reading research articles and critically analyzing those articles is emphasised mostly. Friendly and approachable teacher-student relationships.
