ACADEMICS & FACULTY

Usually, the classes start from around 11:00 am and continue till 4:00 pm. Internals are held every Monday and the final exams takes place at the end of each semester. Projects have to be done by 3rd year students which carry marks. Projects are based on some sort of field work. The teaching method is traditional. But what matters is the quality of teaching. The Professors are highly qualified and impart the students the latest knowledge and happenings of the subject. College atmosphere is very friendly and overall it has been a pleasant as well as a challenging experience.

CLUBS & ASSOCIATIONS

There are various student societies at JU. Some of them are the drama club, photography club, robotics club, mountaineering club, music club, debating society, quiz club, etc. The annual festival of our campus is called Sanskriti which takes place every year. Usually, life at Jadavpur University is quite happening and pleasant. The pressure of studies is moderately high. But still, you can enjoy the campus life to the fullest.
