Remarks:

Jamia Millia Islamia is a central university and there is a very competitive test to get admission in the University. There are total 2 batches each consisting of 60 students which makes a total of 120 students. There is a test in which around 15,000 students appear to get admission in 120 seats. So it can be concluded that the admission process is quite tough. The reason for me to choose this college is because of its legacy and the opportunities that it provides. Being located in Delhi it provides access to the courts ranging from District courts to the Supreme Court and other exposures as well. The location of Jamia is a plus point as it provides with various exposures and opens doors to n number of opportunities.

Jamia is one of the best colleges in delhi for architecture and also the most affordable because usually architecture has very high fees and also additional expenditure for stationary is also there so it was the best for me as its also nearer to my home so it was the best option for me for the admissions we have to give nata and based in the cutoff we get admission usually there are 4 rounds and one spot round at the time of admissions and there are fair reservations at the college like every other college

I got selected in JMI through PMSSS and there are also other selection process are there such as JEE MAINS,Jmi entrance exam and other scholarship opportunities. The factor I like about my college is ROI. Think about it you are giving 64k to your college for you engineering compared to other clgs that are charging 2 lakh per annum and you can get an avg package of 5.5 lpa . So yaa that was like a good point and also there are some professors that are well qualified and in the top researchers list. The bad aspect of my college is lack of fests and other cultural activities.Also I will say that canteen food is also not so good especially for vegetarian people. No GD/PI is conducted for the admission.

The main factors that made me choose Jamia Millia Islamia are, it's a central university, ranked 3rd in NIRF ranking this year, and has very highly qualified faculties. The good aspects of Jamia are that there no ragging policies, supportive seniors, motivating faculties most of them. The bad aspects are hectic and time-consuming official processes and non-cooperative HOD. To take admission in Jamia you should have cleared JEE MAINS and scored at least 92 percentiles and 75% in your class 12 or equivalent. There are no interview rounds.
