How is life at JNU for MA students? Is it only hectic or do students have fun too?
Whether your life at JNU is hectic or not, depends mainly on your course. It’s you who has to find the balance between career, friends, fun and yourself.
JNU is exceptionally safe for girls and girls can enjoy their college life by roaming around at night. Some other fun activities at JNU are:
-
DJ parties for freshers almost every weekend
-
During the winter semester you get hostel nights every weekend. It's a 2 day event celebrated by each hostel. First day is a cultural program, students irrespective of their hostel can take part in singing, dancing, music, band and drama to be performed on the same stage and get facilitated. On the second day the hostel throws a dinner party followed by a DJ.
-
JNU facilities extracurricular toba great extent. Clubs like dance, drama, painting, music, mountaineering, photography and other sports make the experience a thrill.
-
The campus is surrounded by many eateries, especially dhabas that provide the best food.
The best part of the university has to be its no minimum attendance rule. You are assessed on the basis of your performance only. So life at JNU can be both hectic and fun depending on how you balance it.
Which is India's top university, Delhi University or JNU?
There is a stark difference between both universities in terms of culture as well as fees. JNU or Jawaharlal Nehru University is mostly about expression, literature, culture, research, and building intellectual facilities whereas DU is all about glamor, fashion, fests, high cutoffs, and placements.
In financial terms, JNU is much more affordable than DU. Be it course fees or hostel fees, JNU cuts down on expenses a lot.
JNU is learning for life, whereas DU focuses on learning the bare essentials and getting placed in a reputed firm.
One more significant difference to consider is that JNU is more about post-graduation whereas DU focuses more on graduation. The difference in intellectual level stems from the same reason.
If you are still confused between the two, spend equal time on both campuses and you will get the answer soon.
Which is better for M.Sc in environmental science DU or JNU?
Both Delhi University and Jawahar Lal Nehru University offer Master's degrees in Environmental Sciences. However, there is a difference in the degree offered, which is primarily due to the approach to the subject. Candidates will be enrolled in the Masters of Environmental Studies programme at Delhi University, while the Environmental Sciences programme at JNU.
The distinction is due to the approach taken in developing the curriculum. Students at Delhi University are taught the socio-economical aspects of environmental sciences in addition to developing an understanding of the subject in the context of physicochemical and biological aspects of the environment (and their interactions). Subjects taught include "social perspectives of environmental studies" and "environmental economics." There is also a Masters in Arts (MA) programme for students with a background in the humanities.
The emphasis at Delhi University is on environmental ecology, pollution sciences, and biotechnology. Remote sensing, conservation sciences, statistics, geology, and environmental impact assessment are among the subjects taught. I believe the emphasis at JNU is more on the scientific aspect of the subject (which somehow seems legitimate since the degree is being offered for Masters in Science). Furthermore, 70-80% of the curriculum is shared by both universities. Though the JNU syllabus is extensive in terms of subjects such as hydrology and the fundamental principles/technical aspects of water and pollution movement.
