Experience at Amity University Kolkata

Placement could be improved. There could be more interactive sessions by placement department. As well as, college could try to host some campus drives. As well as, placement department should take some sessions on 'How to get hired?'.

Almost every course offers a foreign business language, behavioral science, and communication subject through out each semester. My course has a duration of 3 years, i.e, 6 semesters. Apart from these extra subjects, you get Summer Internship, Research Paper, and Major Project which have certain credits. We have subject related to programming languages which have a scope in IT industry. Speaking for exam structures, we have internal exams (mid-sem) and final exams at the end of every semester.

Regarding placements, it's not quite good. There are no campus visits by companies. Although there are some pool campus drives at other colleges. For current year, there have been around 10 campus drive in total which includes names such as LTI, TCS, Cognizant, Wipro, SAP Labs, Delta X, etc. The package that the companies offer is not quite good but also not below industry standards. Yes, college provides internship. But they expect you to try searching by yourself before depending on college. My internship was with Inland World Logistics as their Web Development Intern for 2 months. The stipend that I was offered was 4000/- month. I had a very great experience on my internship. The team that I worked with comprised of 5 other people from different colleges. We get to share our skills, learn from each other and give a boost to our teamwork skills.

We have Amiphoria, which is a 3 day annual fest of Amity University Kolkata. Amiphoria comprises of different competitions in various fields such as sports, music, fashion, academics, and e-sports. Bleed Code is one such event, which is a coding competition and the winner recieves a cash prize. Mahalaya, which marks the begining of Navratri is celebrated in Amity University Kolkata with a lot of joy. It is celebrated with dhunuchi naach (bengali tradition) and other such cultural events.Sangathan is an inter-department competition in Amity University Kolkata, where different departments compete in various sports such as Football, Cricket, Kabadi, Basketball, etc. Halloween, Makar Sankranti, Janamsthmi and other festivals are also celebrated in Amity by different departments with programs such as music, dance, and drama.

The fee structure is feasible and is not high compared to contemporaries. My fee structure is around 55,000/-semester, which is same or near to what other colleges charge. Amity University Noida, might be a tad bit expensive, but other campuses have a feasible fee structure.

There is a scholarship for students who have good marks. One of my friend when applying for BBA, received a scholarship due to their 12th marks. Other than that, I don't have any information of student loan or other scholarships.

We have good labs with high tech equipment. We have good playing courts for basketball. There is Sangathan as well as Amiphoria which encourages students to participate in those sports. There are different clubs such as IT Club, Sports Club, Photography club, etc.

No, I haven't opted for hostel. But what I hear from some of my batch mates who stay in hostel is good. The rooms are hygenic, clean, and comfortable. There is good security inside the campus. You can't get inside the hostel without activated i-cards.

Yes, they are helpful. They can offer you their experiences and information regarding Amity University, Kolkata. A wide number of alumni visit college in Amiphoria to be a part again of the fest. Seniors in college are very helpful and supportive.

Yes. The first step is to fill out a registration form for the respective campus. Amity offers campuses in various cities as well as nations. After registration, a date is assigned to you for entrance exam at the campus.

Post-interview, you get a confirmation mail regarding your selection. After you are selected, you have to submit the required documents along with affidavits and undertaking as well as you have to submit the fees. After successful document verification, you are officially a student in Amity University.

Faculties are well learned and very supportive with students. Some faculties even are available for doubt clearing over Phone/E-mail/Whatsapp before 10 pm, if required for students. They offer us guidance and are always there for us. Faculties and HOD/HOI have open door policy and they are always open to your problems that you are facing whether being academic or something else.
