Bachelor of Language at JNU

Likes

The infrastructure of the University is excellent.
The course structure and way teaching is superb.
The students and the whole environment of university is very harmonious and perfect to learn and explore.

Dislikes

Sometime students indulge in heinous activities over political differences

Internships Opportunities:

There are internships but I'm not completely aware about them because again the frequency is too low, there is plenty of scholarships in Japanese and Chinese language. For French there are mostly Financial companies which looks for the students. The main work is interpretation or translation.

The best campus

Likes

Good campus life. We having freedom to rome all around the campus 24*7.
The behaviour and cooperation of my seniors are so good.
In my centre the number of girls are doubled to boys.

Dislikes

The buildings are very far, so we have to walk very much.

Internships Opportunities:

The internship provided by some of the parties inside the campus and also the centre itself but it is not the major source of internship. The major source of internship is the illumina in network of the university and the seniors with provided on the basis of contact and the good relationship. I walked with dirty international project which in collaborate with IIT Delhi.

a review over jawaharlal nehru university delhi

Likes

the first thing that i like about this college is that the college does not have forest rather the forest has this college in it which provide a fresh air in this polluted city delhi with an aqi of more than 250.
second thing is that , that the stuents here are very much free to take entry and exit to college .it is nit like other colleges which have restriction even on entry and exit
third thing is that , that environment of jnu is very much safe for not only boys but fro girls as well and also the campus has a health center which have 2 ambulances active 24*7 for service even in a headache ,so the health facilities are good here

Dislikes

the infrastructure of some hostels is very poor and even the walls of some hostels can collapse any time and the irony is that the administratioin is not even paying attention on that
i agree that jnu is 2nd top university of india according to nirf but the some students here are not even serious for environment ,they threw garbages here and this thing i hate the most and also admin have not installed dustbin in many places
the food taste here is not very much good and the hostels and dhabas here required a lot of improvement to fix the taste of food

Internships Opportunities:

i am naive in this college so i dont not much about the internship opportunities but i have heard that on the recommendation of professors we can get an internship in some well establish ferms and also sometimes companies offers internship to students directly thorugh webinars and wrokshops

the life of student in JNU

Likes

here i like the fee structure that obviously attract students belonging to lower sections of society and the infra inside campus acedemic buildings is quite good
the dhabas present inside the campus are also very economical and one can easily live here and they should try to improve the taste and also the kind of interaction we get on dhabas is incredible here we get to talk with our senoirs
the scenery inside jnu is aslo very beautiful and is very less polluted and have fresh air compairing to delhi outside jnu

Dislikes

the food provided in hostel mess is not very teasty and sometimes it feels like i can't even take a single bite of that food . here i feel that the mess food is just for survival only not to satiate the appetite
the drainage system here is not that much developed and sometimes passing nearby it can cause you vomit
my hostel lohit is currently facing water scarcity and the water for bathing also sometime smells and even cause to hairfall also

Internships Opportunities:

the college have a group where the senoirs inform about internship and also we can get an opportunity to study abroad on the recommendation of professors and even we can find opportunities by ourselves with the help of senoirs
