Which University is better for English Honors at Undergraduate level, Jadavpur or Presidency University, Kolkata, and why?

TB
Tuhin Banerjee Posted On : June 22nd, 2021
B.A History, Jadavpur University

Well, both the colleges hold their own places in English Honors at the Undergraduate level. But, this is the tough one as you won’t really get a definite answer. Jadavpur students will claim their institute is better and so will the Presidency students.

Moreover, both the universities are undoubtedly the best for any stream in Humanities. I know people from both the institutes and based on the interactions I had with them I will suggest you go for JU. It will offer you better exposure, academics, faculty, ambiance. JU’s entrance examination is also more competitive.

Few of my friends appeared for both the exams. And only the best managed to get into JU. While quite a few cracked Presidency University. As Presidency University looks at your current skills, on the other hand, Jadavhpur wants you to not only focus on writers’ current and past but also on different aspects like theatre as well.

I have completed high school and want to pursue a CSE Degree. Which one should I choose amongst Jadavpur University, IIIT-Delhi, and IIEST (formerly Bengal Science and Engineering College)?

AR
Arnav Roy Posted On : October 7th, 2023

JU is the best option among IIIT Delhi and IIEST for CSE. Although JU is way better than IIEST in CSE placements, it is slightly behind IIIT Delhi. IIIT-D has slightly better CSE placements. But JU offers an excellent ROI which makes it the most favourable option among these colleges. Moreover, its faculty is highly experienced and learned with many Ph.D. holders in just a single department. Here are some other reasons why you should consider joining JU

  • It's the only University or Institute in India to host an international cricket team.
  • The institute has excellent sports facilities including a swimming pool, a tennis court, and an artificial wall for mountaineering and hiking.
  • The institute has an active club culture with many academically and athletically oriented clubs. Some of the unique clubs are the Science Club, Mountaineering and Hiking Club, Photography, Debate Society, and many more.
  • It was the first institute to receive TEQIP funding from the World Bank in India
  • It is an Innovation University and so is eligible for more monetary grants. 
  • 6. It has more centers of excellence in research than the number of UG branches offered at IIIT-D or IIEST.
  • It's expected to become the center of research in Eastern India
  • The ROI offered is high. Its fees are as low as INR 10,000 for the first year, while the highest package offered last year was INR 1.8 CPA.

All these points sum up the fact that JU is an excellent choice for a CSE degree.

Which is better if one is planning to apply for an MBA/PGDM from IIMs after graduation: ECE and/or CSE at NIT Durgapur, or IT at Jadavpur University? Why?

TA
Tithi Aggrawal Posted On : September 8th, 2023
Lives in New Delhi

Let me share with you some important details about these courses/institutes-

  1. NIT Durgapur is a residential campus so you’ll get ample exposure during your undergraduate studies. On the other hand, JU doesn’t even offer IT on its main campus.
  2. NIT DGP is an Institute of National Importance. This makes it more significant on a national level.
  3. NIT Durgapur is seeing a growing number of recruitments in its CSE branch. Startups visit the campus with interesting offers for CSE students.
  4. The student community of NIT Durgapur is more diverse.
  5. NIT DGP has no political interference. JU, on the other hand, is heavily influenced by state politics.
  6. In terms of extracurricular activities, JU is a better choice.
  7. The CSE/ECE departments of NIT DGP lack good infrastructure, have inconsistent course structure and content, and have a low teacher-student ratio. These departments lack quality research work.
  8. Phd.s in the CSE department of NIT Dgp are low in number.
  9. But NIT DGP carries the much-valued ‘NIT’ tag.

That being said, I feel you are at a very early stage of narrowing down your goals and aspirations to this extent. Enter your UG with an open mind, and an aim for self-discovery. Right now, you have a picture in mind of doing an MBA. But I don’t think you have a proper idea of the different specializations in this degree. 

You should have made a clear decision by the end of your 3rd year. Before that, pursue internships and discover your field of interest. Right now, look for the institute that will offer you the best technical education and the best future prospects.

Which college should I choose: Jadavpur University CSE or NIT Trichy CSE in terms of placements?

AB
Aditi Banerjee Posted On : July 26th, 2023
Lives in Bangalore

Both institutions offer great research and placement opportunities in the CSE branch. NIT Trichy gets you an INI Tag and the hostel-life over there is great. On the other hand, the fees at Jadavpur University are incredibly low. Also, Jadavpur University allows you to experience University culture. 

I personally know alumni from JU and NIT Trichy CSE and all of them are doing well in their careers. I would suggest you talk to the recently graduated alumni from both institutions to get a closer look at the present-day ground reality.

According to me, whether you choose CSE at NIT Trichy or Jadavpur University, you will not regret your choice. Also, consider other grounds like location before arriving at the final decision.

Which one would be better: production in Jadavpur university, power in Jadavpur university, mechanical in Jalpaiguri, or government engineering or mechanical in Kalyani govt. engineering?

MB
Madhurima Banerjee Posted On : October 22nd, 2021
B.E Chemical Engineering, Jadavpur University (2021)

Choose the course that interests you, college is a secondary thing. Here are some of the facts that may help you in choosing the right branch for you.

  • If you want to work in PSUs or Govt. sectors, it’s better to not choose Production Engineering as there are fewer recruiters.
  • Jadavpur is the best college you can get through WBJEE. If you choose Production or Power in JU, you will have good on-campus job opportunities.
  • Production Engineering is a branch of Mechanical Engineering itself. The syllabus will be more or less the same. 
  • Mechanical at Kalyani University will be slightly better than Jalpaiguri. You may not get lucrative job packages at on-campus placement from Kalyani University but in the long run, you will have a much better hold with your Mechanical degree. You can expect well-paid jobs in the future. 

Your future will depend on the branch you are choosing so choose according to your interest. All these Universities will offer you enough opportunities and resources to prosper. It’s up to you to use that well.

Which one should I choose between IIIT Allahabad IT and Jadavpur University CSE if I am interested in coding and research in computer science?

AR
Aditi Roy Posted On : June 7th, 2023
lives in Gwalior, Madhya Pradesh, India

Both JU and IIIT-A have their own set of strengths and weaknesses. Here are a few strengths of each to help you determine which institution to finally opt for

  1. IIIT-A:
    • IIIT-A is better than JU when it comes to coding. The students at IIIT-A are into coding all year round. Labs are open 24*7 and students are allocated a personal desktop with internet facilities for 4 years, 24*7 basis
    • Core courses are introduced at IIIT-A in the first sem. This gives students extra time to prepare for GATE and placements
    • Research facility at IIIT A is good enough. The professors are helpful and supportive towards the students who wish to engage in research work
    • IIIT-A has a much better infrastructure than JU. It has world-class labs and all the facilities are top-notch
    • The faculty at IIIT-A is very helpful and supportive 
    • In terms of placements, IIIT-A is the winner, with placements increasing exponentially each year
    • Hostel facilities are excellent. It has a strong alumni base 
  2. JU:
    • JU provides the students with the freedom and the right mix of interdisciplinary research opportunities
    • The faculty at JU is also very cooperative and supportive. The Research students are supported in every possible manner
    • JU ranks at the 11th position in the NIRF India Rankings 2022: Engineering
    • Being a public state university, the course fee at JU for a four-year B.E. CSE program is only 10,000 INR/year

Thus, both JU and IIIT-A are good options for you to consider. 

B.E. CSE program at JU can be compared with B.Tech IT program at IIIT-A to reach the conclusion.

Where should one pursue economics, Jadavpur University or Lady Brabourne College?

BS
Bhaawna Sommeya Posted On : July 7th, 2021
BA Economics, Lady Brabourne College (2018)

My sister studied economics at Lady Brabourne College for 3 years and from that experience, she came to realize that Jadavpur University would've been the better option.

The subjects taught at Lady Brabourne College were very hectic and lengthy answers were asked in exams and even then you will be given low marks.

Whereas in Jadavpur university, the faculty number is vast and they are all very well read and experts in their fields. Amartya Sen is one of the JU professors. You will find that the semesters are well spaced too so that even if you study all year long, it won't feel like a burden. Economics has not only a very advanced syllabus but also a very brilliant faculty who focus on the development of students and remain unaffected by university politics.

One thing is for sure, that as a JU student you will not require tuition fees because the faculty will always be ready to solve all your doubts and answer each query.
