Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham

Curriculum is vast and provides a decent idea of how the aerospace industry will be and what does it demand of an engineer. The curriculum is revised every 4 years and upgraded to suit the industrial requirement and advancement in the technology. Aerospace is a multidisciplinary field being an amalgamation of mechanical, civil, electrical, electronics, computer science etc. so you need to be strong at the basics

I have had opportunities at organisations like HAL, NAL, ISRO, DRDO some of my friends also did their internships at Skyroot, Bellatrix etc. only thing is that you'll have to reach out to the organizations on your own. Professors do help but you gotta be really good in order to get the professors to help you with it. Also one can carry out projects at IITs too.

50% of the students don't sit for placements, those who do leave their jobs after a year or so and opt for higher studies or change their stream of work. The IT jobs are plenty but are not very fulfilling and have little scope of growth. You become eligible in 6th semester I guess I remember my friends from CSE got job after 6th semester. There are a lot of good companies offering packages as high as 24 lacs, 50 lacs, 60 lacs and such. I think last year Amazon offered the highest package. My plan had always been to go for master's since Aerospace requires specialization and a lot of study to work in a renowned organization in or outside India.

The basic for my batch was INR 25000/yr which has now been increased to INR 350000/yr. However, if you perform good in AEEE then it can be brought down. There are basically 4 slabs with slab 1 being the lowest possible and slab 4 being the basic i.e. 350000. Apart from that there are no other scholarships offered by the university.

They're all inactive at the moment, but one can revive them with time and effort. Involvement of professor will go a long way and it is required for the club to breathe. Only club that is actively operating is SAE which is partially funded by students. There are a lot of other activities going on in the university though like gokulashtmi, diwali, onam, Pongal, amritosavam, anokha etc. which in my opinion is more than enough to celebrate cultture. There is annual sports meet and Amrita sends their teams for footballz basketball, swimming in other competitions as well.

One of the cleanest campuses in india, cleanest water in india too. I have no bad things to say about the hygiene or infrastructure tbh, just that the walls could have been thicker (sound travels really smooth). Food is also manageable (believe me if a guy from north whose mom cooks the best food says this then it is really manageable). No power cuts, water shortage might happen though (it's all political).

Why I chose Amrita? Well it wasn't my first choice to be honest. Since I couldn't get a decent score in my JEE Advanced and didn't want to sit in for another year I had to look for Backups. I always wanted to pursue my bachelor's in aerospace at PEC, Chandigarh but I couldn't get a rank good enough for it. And the colleges I was getting through my Mains score were obviously NITs and they didn't offer aerospace so you see how Amrita became a choice automatically. But there hasn't been a day when I regretted coming to Amrita. NIRF rankings, campus, infrastructure, curriculum.

Amrita's aerospace department, although well established, had been having a few rough years due to teachers reaching their retirement age and, inability of the management to keep the newly appointed professors happy enough to keep them motivated. The question papers are not set to torture students at Amrita, it's the assignments, exams are the easier part of the academics, Class notes are really important and most of the stuff asked in exams will have answers in class notes itself.

No nightlife whatsoever outside the hostel but inside the hostel? It's Las Vegas kinda fun going on, Maggi at 3 am, movies to pull all nighters, ghost stories etc. it's really fun if you have the right people to enjoy with. Hostel doors open at 5 am and close by 10:30 pm. Famous hangout places? Um main canteen, main playground, music room, other places here and there youllfind on your own. Outside campus, I'm not sure cuz I had my weekends in Kerala mostly
