Rittika Barua's Review on Jadavpur University, Calcutta

I did my summer internship in Bengal Beverage, a franchise of coca cola, but there was no provision of stipend. Placement not at all, especially if you're interested in the core sector.

There are separate hostels for girls and boys with very minimal hostel fee. There are PGs and messes available outside the college. The college has about 5 canteens with a diversified menu. The food is good and affordable. Each lab has proper equipment and materials. A central library is present as well a department library where all book requirements will be met.

You have to take the WBJEE entrance examinations for getting admission in JU. For a general candidate, you have to score a rank of around 1200 to take admission in FTBE.

The timetable is set in a precise manner with good timings. There is no doubt about the quality and method of teaching being one of the premier colleges of India. The overall experience can only be felt once you become a student at JU. It's not a university, but a home.

Trust me, studying from JU requires no money. You probably have to spend INR 120 per year, that too for examination. There are scholarships available for students.

There are lots of clubs and societies which a student can be part of like photography club, mountaineering club, music club, etc. Sanskriti is our cultural festival that is held every year with an amazing line up of artists.
