However, the support services for students and their administration staff might not meet your standards. Also, the atmosphere here can be a bit too intense because of their reputation and constant efforts to maintain their standing.
Admission wise, being one of Canada's highest-ranking universities, the GPA and admission criteria is also very high. It has an acceptance rate of 41%, an articulate essay and strong recommendations are important. It’s located in Montreal which is a splendid city with great restaurants, nightclubs, and world-class museums a stone's throw from it.

Is it difficult to get admission in Amity University, Noida?
One of my seniors had been in your shoes a few years ago. This answer is based on his experience.
He enrolled at this university in 2012, for Engineering (B.Tech), after his higher secondary. Having failed to secure a decent rank in AIEEE, he was left with no choice but to pursue engineering from a private institution. These reasons were sufficient enough to make him appear in the entrance test for Amity University.
As is evident, Amity University conducts its entrance exam Amity JEE independently, for candidates seeking admission in its various graduate programs. After filling the enrollment form, he wrote the exam at its Lucknow Campus. He easily cracked the exam and was promoted to the interview round.
Unfortunately, he could not get through the interview. His nervousness and anxiety took a toll on him in his first-ever interview. Moreover, he had poor conversational skills, which could be another possible reason for his failure. On analyzing the results, he realized that it was the basic English communication skills that were put to test, in the interview.
Though he could not secure a seat in the B Tech. program at Amity, he enrolled for MTech in 2016 at Amity and easily sailed through the interview this time. Working upon his basic English conversational skills, during his undergrad days, fetched him success in his second attempt.
On the basis of his experience, it will be advisable that you keep your communication skills on par with a good command of English. This will easily help you get through the selection process of Amity University.
