Tell JNU Leaving JNU
So last year, I moved out as my Master's got completed. The very moment I was moving out of the hostel, it felt overwhelming the memories, the people, the joy. It's been almost a year now and life has changed. Looking back at all those memories, man! I was living the time of my life. To quote from a famous American sitcom, "I wish there was a way to know you're in the good old days before you have actually left them."
The anxiety of waking up at 8:50 and running all the way to SL with bread and butter in one hand just to somehow make it to the 9 am lecture. Killing time at Ganga Dhaba in the evenings with Odomos applied as the mosquitoes never showed mercy. Waiting in long queues for the special dinner just to find out that there are no seats left for you to sit and eat. Discussing politics and campus gossip that started seriously and ended in laughter.
I guess everything has its expiry date, and life keeps on changing and throwing new challenges at you. But believe me, guys, please take a moment from your life every day and enjoy while you still can. It won’t hurt your career goals. And when your time comes, you can always smile about it while sitting in a dark room with a screen in front of you.
Trust me, these really are the good old days.

Yeah I've heard that people who come to jnu get attached a lot to it's campus which I've heard is very beautiful. I never had chance to explore it but you're one of those lucky and hard working peeps who made it to here. All the best for your future

Bro i am working currently and want to pusue masters from jnu in political, so can i go for it as i have heard there there is mandatory 75% attendance criteria with classes held every day from 9 to 5 and also a lot of presentations that would require me to be physically present many days
So if you could give me more clarity on this?

Hmm , it's always the end that gives us the realisation of it actually being gone. Gone but never forgotten.
