What is JMU good for?

Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) is one of India's best universities. Known famously for its strength in the humanities and social sciences and infamously as a hotbed of left-wing politics, JNU is more than a sum of both. It is evident that JNU's lesser known science departments do quite well in terms of research.
