Overall: JNU is one of the best universities in India, especially if you’re into social sciences, languages, or research. It’s known for its strong academics, amazing faculty, and a campus culture that encourages debate and discussion. Plus, the fees are super low, making quality education accessible to everyone. But it’s not perfect. Politics is a huge part of campus life, which can be great for discussions but sometimes leads to protests that disrupt classes. The administration can also be slow, and getting a hostel room is tough because there aren’t enough. Since the campus is huge, some areas don’t feel very safe at night. Overall, JNU isn’t just a place to study—it’s a place that shapes how you think. If you love learning, questioning things, and being in an intellectually active environment, you’d probably love it. But if you just want a quiet place to get a degree, the activism and protests might feel overwhelming
Faculty: JNU’s faculty is one of its biggest strengths. The professors really know their stuff, and many have studied or done research at top universities in India and abroad. They don’t just teach from textbooks—they encourage discussions, debates, and critical thinking. Most of them are approachable, and the classroom environment is interactive rather than just one-way lectures. If you're studying social sciences, international relations, or languages, you’ll find some of the best professors in the country here. Of course, like anywhere else, some teachers are more engaging than others. But overall, if you’re someone who enjoys learning through deep discussions rather than just memorizing facts, JNU’s faculty won’t disappoint.
Overall: Many fests, hostel nights, and cultural nights are organised on campus. You will get the good exposure here, and enjoy your study with good environments.
