A glimpse to JNU - A HOME .

Faculty: Teachers are very well-qualified. They have done their Ph.D. and also have teaching experience. My course is very demanding in this era, and it makes it easier for foreign tourists to explore India. College exams are not difficult, but there are 4 exams in each semester.

If one has no option, then come to this college.

Faculty: Some teachers are very helpful but others are not. Teachers have very little experience but their qualifications are good, though not 100%. Semester exam level is normal and some teachers give questions directly from notes. Pass percentage is approximately 85.

One of the best universities of India, really appreciable.

Faculty: When it comes to faculty members, you don't need to worry. You will be taught by some of the best faculty members in India. They are highly qualified and dedicated to teaching you by any means. The course curriculum is a little old but good. JNU doesn't prepare you for industries, but they shape you into a better version. You need to maintain a CGPA of 4 out of 9 to pass.

The college provides excellent education and amazing quality education.

Faculty: The teachers are very qualified. Students most of the time study by themselves. The exam pattern was simple. The paper used to be 75 marks, and 25 marks were internal marks that the college used to give us by assessing our performance each semester. All the faculty members are the real gems of our department and will guide you in the best way possible.

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.

An average college for admission.

Faculty: Every student receives assistance and responsiveness from the professors. Since many of them are academics who are also conducting research in the field, they are highly qualified and have firsthand knowledge of the subjects. Good instruction that is appropriate for the pupils' level is provided. The course syllabus isn't quite as good as it could be, but improvements are being made. Students are prepared for the workforce via it.

JNU School of Engineering (SOE) is a good college.

Faculty: At JNU, we have highly qualified professors, some of whom have previously worked at NITs and IITs. They teach exceptionally well and actively help students by clarifying doubts, which is often less common in IITs and NITs. With their guidance, semester exams are manageable and not overly tough, falling at an average difficulty level. Students can write them with ease. The pass percentage at JNU is 50%.

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.

Absolutely satisfied with my decision of choosing this college.

Faculty: The curriculum here is interdisciplinary, allowing you to learn technical and personality skills simultaneously, boosting the students' communication skills and hence making them industry-ready. The faculty is very helpful and friendly; you can consult them anytime with your doubts, and they are ready to help. The semester exams are like those in any other engineering college, where you can get good grades if you study well or vice versa.

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.
