Placement Experience:

Students can apply for on-campus internships from the 5th semester and for placements from the 7th semester. Many companies from Google, Amazon, and apple to Deloitte, Razorpay, slice, grab more than 150 companies visit campus and make offers of more than 1.9k Last year's highest package was 1.8 cr per annum from google London for the SDE role. Around 80-90% of students get placed in JU and ETCE has a 100% placement record. Though college offers great placements, I'm willing to do an MBA after my graduation.

Remarks:

You have to pass West Bengal Joint Entrance Examination for admission to JU. But a special quota is here in engineering admissions for Kashmiri students who can get admission only based on JEE mains score. The application form is available in the month of December. For verification and spot Counselling, the student has to go to the college physically. It would be better if the whole admission process would be online

Placement Experience:

The placements in JU are very good. It happens throughout the whole year and you can sit for it if you have the required skills or experience. And if you didn't get placed on-campus you can always opt for off-campus and prepare yourself for further education which is also a very good option. Students can sit from the 6th semester for the pre-placements. And the percentage of students getting placed is like 95/100.

Remarks:

The admission process is being done by giving the WBJEE exam or also by JEE and you must get a good rank to get into Jadavpur University. You can find the application form online through Jadavpur University's website. Not sure about the reservation benefits.

Placement Experience:

Students are eligible for campus placements from the 7th semester. Students can sit for internships from the 5th semester. Companies like Google, Amazon, DE Shaw, Deutche Bank, Slice, Wells Fargo, Morgan Stanley, Accenture, PwC, ITC, Samsung, Salesforce, Razorpay, Flipkart, Atlassian, etc. are prominent recruiters. More than 150 companies came for placements and more than 1450 offers were made. The highest CTC was 1.8crPA by Meta for the role of SDE and the average package was 12.8 LPA. More than 90% of students who registered for placements got placed. I plan to have a job after getting my degree and maybe pursue higher education later on.

Remarks:

Candidates should have qualified for their Higher Secondary examinations from a recognised board with a minimum of 60% in Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry or Biology or Biotechnology. The application details can be found at www.wbjee.nic.in. The counselling is very smooth and efficient though it can be conducted earlier.

Course Curriculum Overview:

The faculty is very good. The faculty members and course curriculum are very good and it is known not only in west Bengal but also in India. There are almost 40 teaching members. They are all well qualified. There are internal exams as well as semester exams. If one attends the classes, it is easy to pass the exam.

Remarks:

The admission process is based on 12th-class marks in physics, chemistry, and mathematics. In the case of the absence of chemistry, it is based on the marks of computer science. Marks are counted in this way (2×physics marks + chemistry + maths). Out of 400, for the general category cut-off marks are more than 390 and for the reserved category, it is more than 380 according to the previous year.

Course Curriculum Overview:

I have taken the Information Technology branch as I was interested in coding domain. The faculty:student ratio is about 1:10. The teachers are very friendly , well qualified and knowledgeable. The teaching style of every teacher is not so good. You will have to study of your own some of the things. There are class tests, sesional disclosive and semester exams , viva for practicals. The semester exams are moderate , you can score a good marks by preparing 15 days prior to examination. But to score above very much marks you have to study hard. The course is very flexible , you will get enough time to explore new things and follow your passion.

Remarks:

There is an entrance exam through which you can get seat in Jadavpur University, the exam is WBJEE. The notice for the exam comes nearly in the end of december or in early january. Registration process also start nearly from january. The exam happend in the end of april generally. There are two papers one is of maths contain 100 marks and another paper of physics & chemistry combined 100 marks. Questions are very much similar to the PYQs of WBJEE JEE mains and advance. There is about 90% reservation for West Bengal domicile students and all other caste reservation are there. After the result is out you can get admission through WEJEEB councilling.

Placement Experience:

For master's, campus placement is less compared to bachelor's courses, Company visited less in numbers, but still, 30 - 40 percent of students get placed, some went for Ph.D. in IIT, and some got placed off campus. On-campus placement average package is around 4 lacs.

Remarks:

For admission to a master's in technology, you need to qualify GATE exam, based on the gate score you can apply to your respective colleges. For Jadavpur University, I applied online, the application fee was 500, then after 1 week, they called us into the college physically for document verification, and after 10 days they shortlisted Students for admission. The admission process was very smooth.

Ques

Currently, is IIEST Shibpur, formerly BESU, better than Jadhavpur University?

● Top Answer By Sourav Roy on 20 Mar 21

Ans
IIEST Shibpur offers integrated MTech for engineering streams. So, first, be clear if you want to pursue MTech from an institute that does not have a record of producing post-grads like IITs or other universities abroad.  Comparison: In academics, there is not much difference between JU CS and BESU CS. In fact in the present scenario, JU CS has better placement statisticsas compared to BESU CS.For this reason, sometimes BESU CS/IT graduates join IITs after the completion of their course and often end up in the same firms their fellow JU mates are working in for 2 years.  BESU got updated to the status of IIEST quite recently. It will take some time for the institute to improve its infrastructure and academics. Being an institute of national importance, the institute is attracting good facilities and campus recruits.  The bottom line is if you are sure that you want to pursue integrated MTech, IIEST CS is not a bad option. Be it JU or BESU, the institute does not matter that much. If you are hard-working, you will excel.

What is the current placement and package scenario in Jadavpur University for B.Tech courses?

● Top Answer By Nitin Kumar on 04 Oct 21

Ans
Jadavpur University has managed to survive the recession to give its student a handsome placement package. My friend is currently studying there and their placement happens all around the years, unlike IITs where placement happens for two weeks or so. Like most engineering colleges, CSE as usual tops the placement with their highest packages. The most popular recruiters include Amazon, Microsoft, Adobe, Goldman Sachs, etc. Almost 100% of students are placed in all the branches. Here are some branch-wise placement statistics for the year 2020. Departments Average Package Highest Package CSE 20.6 LPA 58 LPA (Google) IT 15 LPA 51 LPA (Shopee Singapore) EE 9.73 LPA 65 LPA (Atlassian) Mechanical Engineering 8 LPA 17.6 LPA (GAIL) Chemical Engineering 6 LPA 16.8 LPA (AB InBev) Production 7.2 LPA 22 LPA (Goldman Sachs) Another good thing at Jadavpur University is that most of the big IT/ Analytics firms do not discriminate between the branches and allow them to sit for their placements. This way, you can grab a job in any field that you would like if you develop an interest in it in your college tenure.

Ques

How is IEM Kolkata? Which is better, CS at IEM Kolkata or civil/IT at Jadavpur?

● Top Answer By Harsh Ragav on 07 Sept 22

Ans
IEM Kolkata is a reputed technical college in the region. But given a choice, you should take Civil/IT at Jadavpur University. JU ranks among the top engineering colleges in the country. It is well ahead of IEM, in terms of placement and opportunities.  Many core companies visit JU to recruit Civil Engineering students. The IT placement is excellent. Companies such as Microsoft, Google, etc. take part in Jadavpur University placements. During the 2022 placement drive, Facebook offered the highest CTC of INR 1.8 Crore per annum. The second highest CTC was INR 1.4 CPA, by Google.

Ques

Which is better, NIT Trichy CSE or Jadavpur University CSE?

● Top Answer By Sangeeta Bhattacharyya on 02 Sept 21

Ans
As per the reports of last year, NIT Trichy is deemed better than Jadavpur University. Thus, you must not leave any chance to get into NIT Trichy.  As per the NIRF 2020 ranking, NIT Trichy is ranked 9th for B.Tech.  NIT Trichy has a stupendous entrepreneurial culture, with a broad alumni network spread across India and overseas. The alumni network is over 30,000, including CEOs of top firms listed in Fortune India 500 and Forbes Global 2000.  Jadavpur University is ranked 17th for B.Tech by NIRF 2020.  Going by the recent rankings and alumni networks it is safe to say that NIT Trichy is ahead of Jadavpur. However, you should do your own research and make a decision based on that.

Ques

Can Jadavpur University ever be good enough to compete with the top IITs If not why?

● Top Answer By Shreya Pandey on 04 Oct 21

Ans
Having some friends at Jadavpur University, I can list some problems that students usually face: As Jadavpur University is a regional university, it lacks the exposure what central institutes usually attract. For the same reason, the administration is a little lazy and students enjoy too much freedom.  Most of the professors are quite qualified and experienced, you can find a lot of them who aren’t up to the mark. Here, it becomes quite difficult to compete with the level of IIT and NIT professors. Students at Jadavpur are not creative and do not think out of the box. They usually like to go with the flow and simply follow the syllabus for good placement.  The placement scenario of the CSE department might be at a height but sometimes, other departments suffer and couldn't get as great opportunities. The UG research quality in JU is not up to the mark. Although many students indulge in research and projects, the publication quality is not at par. They just make some small change in an algorithm and produce two/three papers but are not recognized very kindly by foreign universities. All in all, JU needs improvements with the serious involvement of all the students, teachers, staff, alumni of JU. By tackling all the problem areas together, it can shine like IITs and NITs in the near future.

Ques

Is NIT Durgapur better than Jadavpur University?

● Top Answer By Sreejita Gupta on 14 Sept 22

Ans
Jadavpur University is better than NIT Durgapur. In spite of being an NIT, NIT D fails to offer many basic facilities. The undergraduate laboratories are not well-maintained. The campus doesn’t have an active research interface for undergraduate degrees.  Jadavpur University students receive way better learning resources and guidance for higher studies. Located at the heart of Kolkata, there is better availability of coaching for competitive examinations. It offers better placements as well. More than 100 recruiting companies took part in Jadavpur University placements of 2022. The highest CTC offered this year was INR 1.8 CPA. Industry giants such as Apple, Facebook, Google, Amazon, etc. took part in the placement drive.

Ques

Currently is IIEST Shibpur formerly BESU better than Jadavpur University?

● Top Answer By Shreya Sethiya on 05 Oct 21

Ans
IIEST Shibpur has begun offering an integrated M.Tech for every engineering stream. So, first, it is best to decide whether or not you want to pursue your course at an institute that doesn’t have a long-standing record of producing postgraduates unlike IITs or other reputed engineering institutes.  Now, from the academic point of view, there is no such difference between Jadavpur University (CSE) and BESU (CSE).  However, the placement reports of Jadavpur University (CS) are currently higher than BESU (now, IIEST) CS. In the last placement drive, the highest CTC offered at JU was 42 LPA. This has been one substantial reason behind why students of IIEST prepare thoroughly for GATE and later opt for IITs. BESU, only recently, has seen a typical upgrade to the status of IIEST, but things still have not drastically altered. The infrastructure of the institute is still undergoing enhancements which still might take a few years from now. It can take a substantial amount of time to improve the academic overview of IIEST. In future, it will definitely attract major recruiters owing to its status as an institute with major national importance.  It does not really make a difference which institute you are opting for, JU or IIEST. If you are dedicated, you can secure good opportunities from both of these two institutes.

Ans
The eligibility for lateral entry at Jadavpur University is 50% in diploma. If you have the required percentage you can sit for JELET. A valid rank will be considered for admission.  The number of seats for lateral entry at Jadavpur University is limited. So, in order to get selected, you will need to score higher ranks. Otherwise, you will have to go to the Govt. colleges like JGEC, or KGEC.

Ques

Which is better CSE at Jadavpur University or CSE at IIT ISM Dhanbad?

● Top Answer By Saurav Bhaskar on 04 Oct 21

Ans
I have a few friends who have completed their B.tech from IIT (ISM) Dhanbad and Jadavpur University. Here are some crucial factors you must take into account to understand the difference. Legacy: IIT(ISM), Dhanbad is an IIT which is a central level engineering institute and also one of the oldest colleges in the country. On the other hand, JU still remains a state-level university. Infrastructure: If you have visited both campuses, you can clearly see that the infrastructure at JU is crumbling as compared to that of IIT(ISM). JU has a campus the size of IIT(ISM), Dhanbad's lower ground. Rankings: Although most rankings are biased and paid, JU is always ranked below IIT(ISM) Dhanbad except in the NIRF Rankings. Placement packages: The tougher JEE Advanced criteria ensures the quality of students IIT (ISM) Dhanbad. All branches perform quite well. For example - The highest salary offered in CSE in the year 2017 was 1.05 crore By no means a state-level university can outstand a national-level Institute. IIT (ISM) Dhanbad has an edge over JU in almost all aspects. If you score well enough for IIT (ISM) Dhanbad, there’s no point in thinking about Jadavpur University.
