Answered Questions
Jawaharlal Nehru University - [JNU]: 33 answered questions
Ques
Is it worth leaving a Master's in Public Policy at NLSIU to pursue an MA in Development and Labour Studies at JNU?
Ans
If you have been contemplating leaving your Master’s in Public Policy program at NLSIU Bangalore to pursue an MA in Development and Labour Studies at JNU, it is not worth it. Here's why:
Pursuing a Master’s in Public Policy from a reputed institute like NLSIU Bangalore opens doors to promising and lucrative career opportunities. In comparison, job prospects in Development and Labour Studies are relatively meager.
A Master’s in Public Policy program helps you develop a wholesome understanding and a holistic idea of Policy Making. It also allows you to understand the broader spectrum of key issues related to policy-making. In contrast, the MA program in Development and Labour Studies at JNU may not provide a 360º approach towards understanding public issues or cultivate a knack for Policy Making, as this course is primarily focused on issues related to Labour and Trade Unions.
There are several reputed Think Tanks in India that offer lucrative and respectful career opportunities to Public Policy Graduates. Some of them are - the Centre for Policy Research, NITI Aayog, Observer Research Foundation, Research Foundation for Governance in India, Institute of Peace and Conflict Studies, India Policy Foundation, Indian Institute for Advanced Studies, and so on.
In conclusion, if you are already selected for pursuing a Master’s in Public Policy at NLSIU Bangalore, it is not worth leaving it to pursue an MA in Development and Labour Studies at JNU. Pursuing Public Policy at a reputed institute like NLSIU Bangalore will open doors to lucrative career opportunities and help you develop a wholesome understanding and a holistic idea of Policy Making.

JNU placements for MCA are good. Some of the major recruiters for MCA are Google, Microsoft, Oracle, Adobe, etc. Students usually receive an average CTC of around INR 4-5 LPA. While the highest CTC goes up to INR 9-11 LPA.
But JNU is a research-oriented university. If you want excellent placement in the technical field, it will be better to join the top IIT or NIT. You will get better technological exposure at these institutes.
Ques
How do you prepare for the JNU entrance exam for BA hons in foreign languages?
Ans
One of my friends was selected for BA French at JNU a few years back and here are his tips on how to do well in the entrance exam.
G.K: You should incorporate every little detail from Arts, Literature, Drama, Culture, Dress, Cuisines, Geography, Nobel Laureates, and more to become familiar with the language you have pursued.
Reasoning Skills: You should be proficient in solving several coding-decoding problems, especially alphabetical orders, blood relations, syllogisms, direction, and ranking tests.
English: It is equally important to be as strong in English as you are in other subjects. Various course areas, like the Basic grammatical Rules, Vocabularies, Reading Comprehension, and Passages should be on the tip of your tongue. For best results, you should follow the editorial and articles published in “The Hindu.”
English includes a major marking scheme for all the other sections. Now, since an essay alone contains a scheme of about 20-30 marks, it is best that you practice writing ingeniously without using heavy vocabulary. JNU appreciates the artistry of innovation and it is best to keep their tastes intact. Simplicity is encouraged along the lines of critical thinking, at least more than sophisticated word formations.
It is best to keep your thoughts perfectly aligned with the subject area, and not outside of it.
Ques
How hard is it to get through JNU?
Ans
Comparably REVA University is better. Both of these universities are new, but REVA offers better academics, placement, and campus life. It has a brilliant faculty base. REVA University placements are decent as well. According to the placement highlights of recent years, around 83.5% of students get placed each year. The average CTC received by the students is around INR 3.5 - 5.5 LPA.
Ques
How do I get through the M A English JNU entrance examination?
Ans
JNU allows you to enroll in any liberal arts course if you pass the entrance exam, regardless of your background. Around 2000 people apply for 30 M.A. English seats, and then there are reservations, so competition is fierce. Because you will be competing against people with English Hons backgrounds, you will need to become acquainted with the history and movements of English Literature. It is about replicating the language and comprehending the concept.
Begin with a comprehensive history of English literature. Begin with Chaucer but don't spend too much time on him or the early Elizabethan period.
Read as many Shakespearean plays as you can and try to grasp what he is saying about how his works are relevant in terms of literary merit and philosophy.
Continue on to Renaissance, studying it not only as an English literary movement but also as a philosophical concept of humanism and its aesthetics.
Then go to the Jacobean period and Milton, and read what you can without wasting too much time. Examine the age of reason and the 18th century in a similar, albeit more detailed, manner.
Continue on to Romanticism and read as much as you can of Keats, Shelly, Coleridge, and others, as well as the history of the movement.
Apart from reading the history, you should look at the Victorian era and read some Tennyson and a Dickens novel or two.
Remember that as you approach modernism, postmodernism, and postcolonialism, your scrutiny of them should increase because the emphasis at JNU is on what is relevant, and postcolonial theories are very important in this context. You should be able to analyze a Shakespearean play from a postcolonial perspective.
A knowledge of English history after 1400 would also be beneficial. Then read some American literature. Spend some time reading Indian English Literature, and don't stop at the 1980s.
Essentially go to and read poetry at random. Read black American, Australian, and Indian poets, and you might get a read poem or an easier one. Write about how you feel about a specific piece of poetry to practice interpretation.
When it comes to books, simply read any good book that covers the history of EL from ancient times to the present.
Last but not least, be thorough with literary terms, history, and theory, at least on a factual level if not in detail.
The emphasis at JNU is always on how you can represent an idea in an original way while also possessing your own mind. Try to write to develop a love of the language, appreciate the works, and express yourself. Many questions are posed with the intention of eliciting your personal opinion on them. you should be interested in related topics such as politics and history.
