Remarks :
Good - ranked 14th (at my time) best engineering college in india under NIRF rankingsgood placement scenario with over 90% for most streams and companies ranging from google to amazon to tata recruit from final year ,rest students pursuing research.ample clubs from photography to chess to mountaineeringBad - lacks infrastructure and few extracurricular facilities compared to IIT s Admission Process - if your rank is good one needs to select preference of streams in WBJEE portal.After you are assigned a stream in JU there will be a final round for streams on campus (typically in july beginning) where you can change to a more preferred stream if theres a vacancyClasses commence from july end ,Keep checking JUMS official portalWebsites for selecting college - NIRF rankings ,Quora ,Career 360 ,Collegeduniya
