Jadavpur University Kolkata Campus: Photos, Virtual Tour

There are two campuses one is Salt Lake campus and another is main campus. I am not satisfied with infrastructure of Jadavpur University because of funding where IITs and nits get lot of funding, as blank cheques but this university doesn't get that much funding. I hope in the future, the infrastructure can be improved so that it can become best in all the aspects.

Salt lake campus is not at crowded with students. Now talking about main campus, it is very much crowded. You will definitely get exposure with every kind of people. Hence, campus life is good.Read Full Review

Campus is of basic structure, it can be compared with that of any decent small or private college. Our university has two campuses -Jadavpur and Salt lake. Jadavpur is one of the oldest in the country and consists of about 66 acres, salt lake one is considerably newer being built in the 90s. Library is there with a good collection of books, playground in Salt Lake campus is really big and good, being used by CAB, a number of really good canteens are there on and outside of the Jadavpur campus --MilanDar canteen and Ahar canteen are some very popular names. Transport facility is excellent as is throughout most of Kolkata if you know the right route. Inter campus bus facility is also there. Medical facilities are there, security is decent, various indoor and outdoor game facilities are there however the expectations regarding infrastructure and other facilities must be set bearing in mind the fact that JU is a state university and has been facing a shortage of funds since a long time. For me in my campus, My favorite spot is the lush green CAB ground.

Overall campus life is just above average at least for me. However if you are into things like drama, singing, dancing, debates, the campus welcomes you with all its strength, the culture is very encouraging towards these and our university perform really well in those areas. The fact that interdisciplinary studies are followed here and streams like Arts, Basic Sciences, Commerce, Pharmacy and Film Studies are also present besides engineering in the Jadavpur University; it is one of the sole reasons for such a multifaceted, vibrant and colorful culture at least for Jadavpur campus. The history of some great directors, musicians, economists, actors, actresses, politicians, etc. from our own university just adds the ultimate touch this lineage and university atmosphere. Several active clubs are there, presently for your interests; I am in Coding and finance clubs. But clubs like photography, Mechatronics, Film Studies, music; Debating, dancing, Singing, etc. also exist and are very active. Sanskriti and Srijan are two biggest fests out of several other fests that take place are in of their kind in entire eastern India. Academic pressure is comparatively less. The politics and ragging are not as much as the media hypes about regarding the same but we cannot completely ignore that thing though. After all, entering into university one needs to be mature enough regarding what one wants to do with their life, what should be spoken when and where and what circle they want to choose.Read Full Review

Infrastructure is quite good, but some buildings need repair work. All buildings are equipped with necessary amenities. Emergency services like Ambulance & First Aid are readily available in the campus premises. Labs & Workshop buildings are well equipped as per modern industry standards. TEQIP building is administrative office in the main campus. Almost all departments have their separate buildings & laboratories.

After IIT KGP, our university has best campus among all the institutes of Eastern India. Various Fests (like Tech Fest & Cultural Fest) and programs are organized by different clubs & societies regularly in the campus premises. Some of the clubs include Motorsport, Aerospace, Mechatronics, Chess, E-Sports, Debate and various societies include Maths, Science, Literary, Linguistic, Music, Dance, etc.Read Full Review
