BA from Aligarh Muslim University

I also applied for Jamia Millia Islamia BA economics entrance but was unable to take admission due to fewer marks in the entrance exam. The admission criteria for my program are done through an all-India entrance conducted in many parts of the country at different centers. The minimum marks required for admission for an external student are approximately 45 and for an internal student, it is around 35. The counseling was pretty good and simple, the counselors were pretty supportive and motivated a lot for the upcoming college life.

I chose this course because I have a keen interest in all the subjects of arts like history, geography, economics, etc. The faculty-to-student ratio will be about 25:1. The staff of our college is highly qualified and are very good at explaining things. Most of the professors are postgraduate and even have completed their Ph.D. The term exams are not hard to pass, for me I would say they are very easy to pass. It's not time that you will have to study a lot day and night to pass the internal exams. But yes the final exams are pretty tough and average to pass.

Many companies provide internships for students with an average monthly stipend of 15000 to 30000. The task and roles of the internship are not very tough, it's easy to blend in with the environment of the company if you are really willing to do work for that company in the future. Overall the internships are good and many students get into them to gain knowledge and experience of those companies.

Students become eligible for placements in the final year of the course. Many companies come for campus placement in the final year. Approximately, 30 to 40% of students get campus placements based on their skills and knowledge. The average annual package would lie somewhere around 3 lacs. The placements in our college mostly depend on the knowledge of current market trends in the economic world. Communication skills play a very important role in the placement.

The fees for my course are very low in comparison with the private colleges outside. My yearly fee is just 6500. The fees for all the graduation courses in the university are almost the same. The scholarships we applied for were almost all provided by the central government or by different private organizations. There are also few scholarships provided by the University.

The life on the campus is very awesome and enjoyable, it may take time for some people to mix up with the environment of the university but once they start liking it they won't think about quitting it or moving to some other University. The infrastructure of the university is very good and well maintained, there is everything provided by the university for the students. There is almost every amenity required by the student, including Wi-Fi, access to the library, etc. Almost every book is available in the university library that is required by the students. The classrooms are pretty spacious and clean and almost every amenity is provided. There are a lot of extracurricular activities and sports activities on campus. There's a sports tournament almost every week, and also there are many cultural festivals throughout the year. There are many clubs and groups in the university that make these extracurricular activities possible.

Almost every facility is provided in the hostel. The food is good, the dining halls are pretty big, the WiFi is fast, room cleaning is also provided. The food is pretty good according to the dining charges we pay, there is almost everything new on the menu every day. Registration for the hostel is done just after admission to the college, the fees for the college are also very low.
