College Infrastructure

College infrastructure is not upto mark as compared to central universities like IITs , NITs etc. Being a state run public university, it lacks funding to improve their infrastructure development but we call it average. There are sufficient lab equipments and facilities which helps the students to understand practical things. The living spaces are clean and hygienic, there are numerous dustbin in the campus which are provided solely that the campus must be garbage free.

College Infrastructure

Infrastructure is not that brilliant but all the basic requirements are fulfilled here. As fees is very low here only about 12K of the whole course, the infrastructure does not matter that much. Seminar rooms and libraries are however air conditioned.

Hii.. iam sc from West Bengal can I get jadavpur university core branch at 3000 rank??

Jadavpur University is one of the best engineering colleges in west bengal better than nits.It has 16 Departments in the Engineering Department (FET).Rank wise, A rank within 200 for CSE, within 500 for ETCE or IT, within 1000 for Electrical or IEE is enough to get admission here for general category candidates.

a WBJEE rank of less than 2000 is enough to get you into JU.being from a sc category you must get advantage of reservation quota and it is likely that you may get core branch.lets hope for the best.

Best of luck with your future endeavors!
