Jadavpur University is also a reputed institute. With time the quality of education at JU is also improving. So, I will suggest you do your own research and choose an institute that works best for you.
You should go for BITS Pilani, Jadavpur University is also a good choice but it entirely depends on your preference of environment and culture.
Following are some facts about BITS Pilani and why it will be a good choice.
BITS Pilani has higher fees, the quality of education they provide is remarkable. As for fees, they provide a scholarship program called MCN, which is fairly easy to receive, and requires a family income of below 8 lakh. They also have a merit scholarship for this with an extremely good CGPA (above 9.5).
Jadavpur University is definitely better than IEM. It is ahead In terms of placement, academics, and research. In the 2021 NIRF Rankings, JU ranked 17th for B.Tech. It has outranked a few of the IITs. Whereas, IEM is ranked 191 for B.Tech by NIRF 2021.
In the 2021 placement drive, the placement average for IEM was around 75%. For JU, the placement rate was 100% while the average CTC offered was 19 LPA.
If you have a specific branch in mind you can go for IEM. Otherwise, choosing JU will be better. The preference of choice should be like the following.
JU (CSE/ECE/ME/EE/Chemical/IEE)> IEM CSE> JU (Civil/Production)> All branches of IEM> Rest of the branches of JU.
Many of my friends attended Jadavpur University. Here is their advice for you.
These are some of the things that you need to know if you are thinking of joining Jadavpur University.
I have friends from Jadavpur University and according to them, the department of architecture does not have a good placement record. But, here are some major pointers as to why the course at Jadavpur University is still renowned,
Number of companies participated | 80+ |
Highest salary package | INR 42 LPA |
Average salary package | INR 19.96 LPA |
Percentage of Placed Students | 100% |
Only a limited number of students secure placement offers while pursuing the course concerning Architecture. But, if you have the skills and a good academic record, then you are more likely to secure a better placement than others.
Jadavpur University is renowned for its educational quality and is recognized worldwide. It is a member of AIU and NAAC accredited.
As per one of the alumni’s experiences, Sanskriti is the coolest thing about the university.
The best part is that no money gets out of the pockets of students. The university bears all expenses. Overall, there are many things to list, but the campus festivals are the best way to unite.
CGPA, or SGPA (Semester Grade Point Average) in Jadavpur University is estimated using several weighted means. Every course of the institute has credit points equal to the respective weights. The SGPA is equal to [summation(f *x)/summation(f)], where “f” denotes credit points, while “x” denotes the absolute grade point in a subject.
The summation, in a way, is supposed to be taken over in the courses per semester.
Here is how the administration signifies the absolute grade points,
Unlike the grading system followed in IITs, Jadavpur University typically follows an absolute grading system. NITs, quite similarly, use the highest grade point as 85–90, while the second highest is 75–85. Thus, the GPA would supposedly be less, as opposed to either NITs or IITs. For example, a 9 pointer is supposed to gain a percentage between the range of 75 to 85. But, in JU, a percentage of 78% will be a close GPA of around 8.3.
Jadavpur University offers admission to many faculties. Here are the admission criteria for the different faculties at the university.
Engineering Faculty: This faculty offer Bachelor’s in Engineering and Architecture. You will need a good WBJEE rank in order to get admission to the Engineering branches.
Science Faculty: JU offers bachelors in many Science subjects. Admission to these branches is based on merit. The university declares cutoff after the result publication of popular boards in West Bengal.
Arts Faculty: Most Art faculty branches conduct entrance examinations. Admission is based on merit in 10+2 and the entrance test.
There is also admission via sports quota for all departments. The cutoff for sports quota is a little less.
Well, both the colleges hold their own places in English Honors at the Undergraduate level. But, this is the tough one as you won’t really get a definite answer. Jadavpur students will claim their institute is better and so will the Presidency students.
Moreover, both the universities are undoubtedly the best for any stream in Humanities. I know people from both the institutes and based on the interactions I had with them I will suggest you go for JU. It will offer you better exposure, academics, faculty, ambiance. JU’s entrance examination is also more competitive.
Few of my friends appeared for both the exams. And only the best managed to get into JU. While quite a few cracked Presidency University. As Presidency University looks at your current skills, on the other hand, Jadavhpur wants you to not only focus on writers’ current and past but also on different aspects like theatre as well.
Choosing the college depends upon personal preference. If you have any skill for either of the subjects, go for it irrespective of the institute. Both of the institutes are good and will provide you with tremendous opportunities.
