 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. |
 | Change the UG syllabus |
| Buy books for students |
| Provide faculty-authored materials |
| Change the question pattern in exams |
| Introduce 'projects' as part of the syllabi |
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.
