The verdict
Good fit
This is a power-user’s degree, literally. If you care about grid infrastructure, energy security, and want PSU corridors open without drowning in fees, JU’s Power Engineering hits different. The 76% placement rate and recruiter list are solid, but the batch is tiny and the stream is niche. Best for students who know they want energy sector depth, not a generic IT fallback.
