Where should one pursue economics, Jadavpur University or Lady Brabourne College?
My sister studied economics at Lady Brabourne College for 3 years and from that experience, she came to realize that Jadavpur University would've been the better option.
The subjects taught at Lady Brabourne College were very hectic and lengthy answers were asked in exams and even then you will be given low marks.
Whereas in Jadavpur university, the faculty number is vast and they are all very well read and experts in their fields. Amartya Sen is one of the JU professors. You will find that the semesters are well spaced too so that even if you study all year long, it won't feel like a burden. Economics has not only a very advanced syllabus but also a very brilliant faculty who focus on the development of students and remain unaffected by university politics.
One thing is for sure, that as a JU student you will not require tuition fees because the faculty will always be ready to solve all your doubts and answer each query.
Which is better, IIEST Shibpur or Jadavpur University?
To decide which college is better than the other, here are some things that you should consider. These parameters include the following.
- Ranking: If you check the latest NIRF ranking, IIEST Shibpur ranks at 43rd position while Jadavpur University ranks in 12th position among the other institutes.
- Top University: Jadavpur University has got the tag of “University” but IIEST Shibpur does not have any tag as of now.
- Curriculum / Culture: Coming on to the important parameter, Jadavpur University has a very rich coding culture. This has helped in brushing up the skills of students up to a greater extent.
- Placements: Jadavpur University has a very strong placement cell and this is the reason for their outstanding placement stats year after year. On the other hand, IIEST Shibpur has an average placement stat.
- Accommodation Facilities: IIEST Shibpur provides you with better facilities. There are separate hostels for separate batches and from 3rd year onwards, you can choose a single room. At Jadavpur University you might need to compromise because all the batches get the same hostel.
- Changing Branch: One of the demerits of studying at Jadavpur University is that if you haven’t got your favorite branch after 1st year, after 3 WBJEE Counselling, spot round occurs depending on your WBJEE rank and that is the last chance to change your stream. Changing streams at IIEST Shibpur is a much easier procedure.
Both the institutes are the two legacies of this state and they both have produced extremely talented alumni. Though IIEST Shibpur does not have high placement records as of now one cannot predict what will happen after 4 years. So, don’t choose an institute solely based on the brand value. Just see if you are able to find the relevant stream or not. To get into one of these institutes, you really need a good score in WBJEE.

Does ragging happen in Jadavpur University?
One of my friends is a senior studying in the third year of university. As per his experience, the university has no ragging culture. The seniors are considered elder brothers. They are helpful and guide you in all possible ways. They are far more reliable than the professors of the university.
There is a certainty that no one gets involved in the crime of ragging. The university is the safest and feels like home. In the end, when your seniors graduate, it feels like an emotional farewell. But they remain with you as your family.

What should I choose. 1. CSE Jadavpur University 2. B.Tech + M.Tech dual degree CSE @ IIEST, Shibpur 3. CSE @ NIT Durgapur?
First of all, never compare Jadavpur University with NIT Durgapur for the Engineering stream.

The reason for this is dual degree programs are not valuable in industry or research.

Among the given options, CSE at Jadavpur University is the best option to opt for. You will enjoy your studies here. You will have a good range of research projects. You will get abundant internship opportunities from here. Although placements at JU are not as great as compared to IITs, NITs, BITS, and IIITs.

Which should I choose between Jadavpur Univerity and IIEST Shibpur?
Here is some information on both these colleges. At the end, the choice is yours to make-
- Academics- The curriculum, faculty and labs for EE are good at both the colleges. But for CSE and ECE, JU is a far better choice.
- Teaching Quality- Even if some faculty members aren't up to the INI standards, they can’t be replaced as IIEST is a government college. Because of this, JU has a far better quality of teaching.
- Library- The reading room at IIEST is far better. It is huge with lots of databases and ample reading space. But JU has a far better digital library system.
- Infrastructure- The infrastructure at IIEST Shibpur is being developed at a good rate. Its hostels desperately need improvement and expansion.
- Placements- JU consistently outperforms IIEST in placements.
- Campus Life- IIEST Shibpur does not have a campus life, and senior-junior interaction is negligible. The campus is lifeless in this sense. JU has a vibrant campus life, but with so much happening on campus, you’ll need to draw your limits and not get diverted.
Both the colleges are good, but JU is the better choice.
