B.Tech Mechanical Engineering Jamia Millia Islamia, New Delhi

I would like to share my experience being a mechanical graduate from this university. My review will be solely based on experience by me and my peer group, but strictly for my department only, not for other streams. I would cateogerize my experiences in the form of pros and cons but they may differ from person to person. Pros 1. Central university, placed in delhi, thus accessability to all the resources apart from what college provides. 2. Very less fees, i did my btech in 30 grands, so you can judge yourself how cheap it is. 3. Infrastructure wise i would say above average for some departments and not so for others. Like we had a decent classroom but didnt have an Ac in it while almost all the other branches were having that. But classrooms had a projector that actually worked (cheers). 4. Apart from classroom building infra was average from outside and dull from inside. 5. Had a decent lawn in main building for some chitchat and lunch break and yes offcourse the biryani was good in canteen. 6. Had a big jungle inside campus where we could roam and talk freely. 7. Crowd was mostly decent except a few people from jamia school (internal people ) who created havoc inside classes.. And yes professors are mostly muslim and half of the crowd too, but they are just normal guys just like u n me, no need to worry( no need to take this statement so seriously, just for clarifications of some cliche in our ill society) Now comes the CONS 1. The main issue is about the course content and the professors. 2.Right from the day one you are forced to solve some foreign authors book( which they brag about later saying the same thing is adopted by iits) without even explain the concepts and facts to us. 3. Teaching methodoly is the same boring as you would have expected from a private institute. 4. No cultural activities, no initiatives and even if you participate u get to know the whole fest was scrapped and you are screwed. 5. Some professors would actually give you some freedom but mostly and i mean more than 90% are too rigid about their course, rather attendance that they even brag about killing your four years. 6. Passing the exams is not that difficult though, just need to be attentive and just write whatever the shit they write in the board. 7. No internships, no help in competitions, pretty bad placement scenario is all i have to say about this department. I may sound a bit mean but thats the hard bound truth. Thats all i have to say, but i would advise you not to waste time being a mechanical engineer in jamia, rather do some bsc from du if you get the chance or take some other department. I have just not mentioned the professors coz that would be too partial for a review, rest is uoon you to decide.

It was an excellent experience & feel to be blessed to have studied in an institution having roots in our freedom struggle and still making us sustain that with dignity & class modern education with deep cultural values and protecting the pluralism of our beautiful piece of land called India.
