Jadavpur University
is one of the best Universities in India. In 2001
it earned many kudos, and distinguished itself in
India's higher educational map as one of the
premier institutions in India. Project Jadavpur
University is a series of articles dealing with
the unique characteristics of the institution, and
suggestions for improvements. The comments are
purely personal, and the suggestions have been
made with my personal experience as a student of
the same institution.
These articles are purely
personal and DOES NOT claim any authority or accuracy.
The motive of the articles is general awareness, and not
disparagement, as some might be led to believe. These
articles have been written with the objective of
providing some insights into various aspects of JU life
and culture, and to provide suggestions for improvements
wherever the university is found wanting. The comments
are made from direct experience of the university life
as a student of the English Department for many years.
Most of the comments would apply ideally to the English
Department only, and any extrapolation so as to apply to
the whole university in general is purely conjectural,
and hence, might be inaccurate.
