Here are some key points about both colleges which will help you in your decision-making-
According to me, a CSE from Jadavpur University is a better option.
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.
I have seen many students prefer JU to new IITs because of the experience and legacy it holds in contrast to recently established IITs. None of these students regret their decision of choosing JU over IIT.
JU has the upper hand in terms of both placements and the quality of research work here. In fact, top NITs, BITS, JU, DTU, NSIT, IIITs, and such institutes are all better options than most of the newer IITs. These institutes have good credibility owing to their strong alumni network thus providing better opportunities. Those who prefer to stay on the safe side give more preference to these institutes than newer IITs.
The new IITs are expected to reach heights in the future and only then will you be able to benefit from their IIT tag. As of now, they lack credibility and opportunities.
Ultimately, it’s your call to make because you can even avail the best opportunities through minimal resources.

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.
JU is the best option among IIIT Delhi and IIEST for CSE. Although JU is way better than IIEST in CSE placements, it is slightly behind IIIT Delhi. IIIT-D has slightly better CSE placements. But JU offers an excellent ROI which makes it the most favourable option among these colleges. Moreover, its faculty is highly experienced and learned with many Ph.D. holders in just a single department. Here are some other reasons why you should consider joining JU
All these points sum up the fact that JU is an excellent choice for a CSE degree.
