What Students Say

Likes

I liked campus and the environment. It's history.
I liked the Library facilities. AMU holds one of the biggest university library in India.
I like the culture of AMU and it's various sports facilities

Dislikes

One thing I disliked is though the campus is open but the society is very closed. Boys and girls do not really interact with each other as compared to others.
I disliked the politics that is being played at AMU. AMU is too much politicised. There are even instances of gun firing and gang fighting.
Though the teachers are too experienced,but few teachers really do not want to teach. They are only concerned about completing the syllabus rather on the quality of teaching.

Course Curriculum Overview

3.5

The course curriculum is designed in keeping the UGC NET JRF exam in mind. The faculties are experienced, they have atleast teaching experiences of atleast 20 years. All are top notch faculties, but some teachers are lazy too.

Class Size: 40Course Fees: INR 12000 per year

Fees and Financial Aid

If you are applying for masters in arts, then you'll just have to pay 12000rs. This includes your hostel fee too. So the fee is negligible. And you have to pay 1500 a month for food. Also you can apply for national and state scholarships while studying. In short, AMU is too cheap.

Campus Life

The AMU has cultural heritage infrastructure. It is one of the biggest university in India. More than 60 percent of the area is green. The atmosphere is really mesmerizing. The students are friendly and helping. AMU has lots of clubs and sports facilities. Students run various social groups like SFI , ABVP and many other.

Admission

I qualified AMU entrance exam for Masters and got admission. The entrance test was moderate. The questions were asked from the syllabus and were more based on facts. I belong to General category, but AMU provides good facilities for disabled and blinds. I hope this benifits you. Yes i would recommend that AMU should release their cut-off marks which are not released. They directly provides rank to the applicants and the admission is done accordingly

Sharda University in GIST

Placement Experience:

The placement here at Sharda was too good. Students start attending the Placement interviews and calls from the last semester. I was personally made into 4 companies and 4 offer letters were offered to me. The average package is 3.8 lakhs per annum and highest was about 11 lakhs. There is 100% placement in every dept. but it depends on students if they want to attend or not. After getting the degree i studied for my PhD entrace and now i am working.

Life at JT Girls Degree College

Course Curriculum Overview:

Since I wanted to become an English Professor, the course really helped me a lot in getting an insight into English Literature. The professors are very encouraging. The curriculum not only relies on the traditional method of teaching but also various co curricular activities are conducted to prepare the students for the real world. Each student is given an opportunity to prove herself. As the exams are conducted annually we get a lot of time to prepare accordingly.

Experience of college life

Remarks:

Overall, I can say that my experience of the college for postgraduate degree is good as of now. Although the course is good, but, I would want more focus to be put on practical learning because after all, it is a practical subject. Other than that, I am content with the facilities provided by the college. I was very interested in the subject and love it personally, so it is a great experience for me.

Cheap And Best Education

Remarks:

In my opinion Aligarh Muslim University is best for all students, there are many rumors about the university but believe me they all are just fake, there is complete unity in students and no any case of racism, sexism and any discrimination.

AMU Good But Not Good

I applied to a few other universities along with Aligarh Muslim University (AMU), but AMU was my first preference due to its strong academic reputation, affordable fees, and well-structured curriculum. Compared to other colleges, AMU offers better faculty quality and campus facilities at a much lower cost.
