Question 1

What is it like to study at JNU Delhi?

Accepted Answer

As per students and alumni, studying at JNU can be liberating and scary at the same time. If you've been in the Indian education system all your life, you're probably used to being spoon-fed and not having any room for your own thinking. Once in JNU, this completely changes. Nobody is here to tell you what to study, how to study, when to study. There's no minimum attendance requirement so no pressure on that front. There's loads of work pressure in the form of homework, assignments, presentations, etc at the BA/MA level, yet your time is your own so you have to decide when to work and draw your own lines. At the MPhil/PhD level, there's an exciting research atmosphere, and you can really feel that you're among people who are here to do genuine research. But again, you have to draw the lines and make sure you don't lose focus. Campus life is also so liberating that the above is a bigger challenge than it might seem. Women feel safer on campus than anywhere else in the country, so there is freer interaction across gender boundaries. There's also a late night culture, which means you can be up till 3 in the morning and still run into lots of people at the dhabas. There are movie screenings, political activities such as protests and hunger strikes, you can hear some of the greatest minds in the country give public lectures. If you're receptive to it, JNU will change your life, expand your horizons, and challenge your comfortable ways of thinking. You're treated like an adult so you have to learn to be one quickly.

Question 2

Is it worth taking admission to JNU for Masters?

Accepted Answer

As per our research, if you want to pursue MA in one of the streams offered at JNU, then its totally worth it. JNU has been consistently ranked as the second-best university in India by NIRF. It offers such a great environment for research, and being a central university it is also quite affordable. In the end, it all depends on your aims and objectives. If you really want to go for a Masters degree then JNU is undoubtedly the best.

Question 3

Which is better, JNU or Delhi University?

Accepted Answer

Students and alumni report that if you are in the top 10 colleges of Delhi University, then the Bachelors programme is great. There is a lot of exposure in terms of meeting people and the extra curricular activities are amazing. However, there is a serious issue with hostels, the examination process is outdated and the university is not very student friendly (especially when compared to JNU). Most people get bored by the time their 3rd year ends.Students pursuing Masters and MPhil at JNU say it is a lot tougher to get through in most ways because no one can predict what the university really is looking for. JNU has a lot of problems but it is in most ways an extremely accepting environment. It really does depend on what you do with your time in JNU. If you are motivated, you can achieve absolutely anything. There is a general culture of debate in the university which makes it so much more student friendly. It is an extremely cheap university and most departments are rewarding, in terms of faculty. It is difficult to leave JNU once you are in. It does promote a certain feeling of lethargy though if you are lazy because it expects you to push yourself especially at higher levels of study.The BA courses at DU are of much higher standards in most respects (mostly because JNU barely offers any BA courses). That being said, DU has draconian rules and lifestyle. In the end, one should choose a university that they can make the most out of.

Question 4

How are the placements for Engineering at JNU?

Accepted Answer

As per our research, JNU Placements are average. A good package depends on your skillset and the campus-visiting companies. A very few good companies visit JNU and you need to be good at your subjects to get a job. The JNU administration is putting out funds for placement improvement. But currently, placements are very less here. Not even 50% of the total students got placed. This is because some didn't have the required knowledge and partially because not many companies visited.

Question 5

What are placements like for MA Economics graduates from JNU?

Accepted Answer

Both the centres for economics in JNU- CITD{SIS} & CESP{SSS} have their own placement cells. Usually both these placement cells work together and invite companies over for hiring. Companies like PwC, HSBC, Dunnhumby, Infosys, EXL, Nomura and many more visit the campus for hiring. If one wishes to pursue a career in research, then they can apply directly to any of the organisations. Your seniors and faculty can be of great help here.
