Campus

Campuses
The university is semi-residential and operates two urban campuses. The Jadavpur Campus is the main campus. It is bordered by the Raja S. C. Mullick Road, Kolkata Suburban Rail, South Line and the Central Glass and Ceramic Research Institute. The other campus of the university located at Salt Lake City is a newer campus set up to alleviate the space constraints of the main campus. It is surrounded by educational institutes like National Institute of Fashion Technology, West Bengal National University of Juridical Sciences, and Government College of Engineering and Leather Technology. The campus houses hostels for out-station students, an administrative block (KMR), and a library. It often hosts several inter- and intra-state cricket matches.
International Collaborations
JU has international collaborations with several universities in Europe and USA. It has formed associations with educational institutes such as Shastri Indo-Canadian Institute, University of Newcastle upon Tyne, Staffordshire University, International Centre for Theoretical Physics, Free University of Bozen-Bolzano, Leeds Metropolitan University and the University of California. These collaborations facilitate internship opportunities for students to pursue research at international institutes. Students of JU belonging to Engineering and Science streams can avail the ERASMUS and DAAD fellowships for research in Europe.

It has around 600,000 books, more than 80,000 journals, 37,000 non-book materials, and 13,000 theses and dissertations.

It has around 60 nodes from where students can access digital data on the web and from the university’s internal database.
Accommodation

Accommodation is generally reserved for financially weak or out-of-state students. A few Masters and Research scholars are accommodated on the main campus hostel. The boy's hostel is situated near the Jadavpur Police Station and is at a walking distance from the university. The girl's hostel is located on the main campus itself.
