Manish Chandila's Review on Pt. Jawahar Lal Nehru Government College

There are only educational courses in the college and no technical courses, so there is no placement directly from campus.

No hostel in the college. PGs are also not easily available and if available it is very costly (4000-5000 monthly) and far from college. There is no canteen or any cafeteria in the college. The building of the campus is very old and is in very bad condition and the classes are also very dull and dirty. The classes lack proper lighting and fans, the desk's also are scrambled or destroyed. Labs are also in the same condition, even there is a lack of chemicals and equipment in the labs. No Wi-Fi on the college campus. The sanitation facilities are in worst conditions. There is no cleanliness in toilets and washrooms. Proper drainage and sanitation fitting are absent.

No entrance exam for admissions. Admissions are done on the basis of merit list based on marks or percentage of the student in the latest qualifying exam ( high school ) or graduation depending upon the course you choose. For admissions in Undergraduate courses the individual must have passed high school (12 class) with more than 60% marks to participate in the counselling. The typical cutoff for B.Sc Biotech is 78% marks in higher secondary exams.

All the teachers are highly qualified and experienced. Quality of teachers is very good. The duration of one lecture is 45 minutes. College timings are from 9:00 a.m to 3:00 p.m. Lab or practical classes are of 2 hours only twice a week. Internal exams or tests are also taken on a weekly basis by the teachers. And the college follows semester system of exams.

The course fee for B.Sc Biotech is INR 4000 per year, and that too decreases from 1 to 3 years respectively. The scholarship is available for all students belonging to SC/ST category and OBC also. For SC/ST category INR 14000 per annum scholarships is provided and for OBC category INR 6000 per annum is provided. Fee for all the courses is very low so there is no need of loans to pay the fee.

Not even a single club is associated with the campus. There are no such festivals in the college, student life is very boring. Not even a single source of entertainment in the college. Only a talent hunt program is held at the beginning of every session. That is organised without proper facilities in the so-called canteen area where there is nothing in the name of a canteen.
