is it a glitch or what?

Obc Ncl 287 marks

Okay, so as I have an extremely solid foundation and interest in linguistics, I plan on getting into research in NLPs or mathematical linguistics later, going abroad for master's. And I had planned on BA French at JNU. My plan was to get a degree in French, master's in linguistics and then continue from there. However my dad suggested that I check out EFLU BA English (hons. research), because Hyderabad is nearer to home and he heard really good reviews of EFLU from his friends. So I checked out the website and I felt the curriculum and structure suit my plans better (because I think EFLU does let you pick more scientifically oriented linguistics courses as electives, and then for research).

However I've read many negative reviews of EFLU on the internet so I'm genuinely confused. I mean I know JNU has a hella good reputation. And while I have heard EFLU has a great reputation and opportunities too, I've read too many people saying it's declining. And now I'm also questioning how suitable the JNU BA French path would be for my aspirations.

Any insights would be really appreciated ! Especially in terms of opportunities, atmosphere, academics, and exposure.

I have my ews certificate, and everything in the proper format according to annexure 1 but the problem is it's in Hindi so is it still valid for eflu ?

same as above,will try to help you all out with whatever knowledge i have,Please dont ask for cutoffs cause it will vary on the people who register so i cant guarantee you exactly.

294/500 obc ncl , for foreign language courses

Inspired by a recent post here. Before any of you come at me, lemme make it clear that I already graduated a year back, so I genuinely don't care, but I care enough about the students who have a flowery image of eflu and I feel it's necessary to give them a reality check.

The crisis I'm talking about is a major one. It's about the hostel capacity. EFLU, in terms of area, is the smallest central university in India. Average colleges are bigger than EFLU. There are 5 hostels, out of which, 3 are for Indian students (1 for men, 1 for women, and 1 exclusively for female PhD scholars). The other two are fine foreigners. EFLU was never meant for housing over 1500 students, but at present, the strength is already over 2000, and with the introduction of new courses every year, and no new hostels being constructed (there is no space at all), EFLU ran into a housing crisis last year itself. They somehow managed, with accomodating students in the staff quarters, however, this year, the strength is expected to increase to around 2400 at least, and multiple students will be left without hostel accommodation. The prospectus itself states that EFLU is not a fully residential campus, and they don't guarantee accommodation. And before any of you start thinking about renting a place nearby, lemme tell you, there is nothing affordable around eflu.

Let's not get started about academics. Literature is shit at EFLU. Point blank period. Except for maybe 2 professors, everyone else is pathetic. Linguistics was good, and still is, but Utpal retired this year, so did Hemalata, expect for Shurui Sircar, who is really left now? ELE is fine ig? Not so sure. All other departments are either mediocre or just straight up horrible and messy.

Not to mention, eflu has a history of housing creepy professors, even after evidence being out in the open. Links:

Y'all still have time. Make a wise decision, especially if it involves travelling all the way to Hyderabad.

Peace.

It was supposed to be today, but I think that has been advanced? Thanks in advance
