Entrance Preview

It was an internal exam during that time and since I did my +2 from the same institution, it was quite easy for me to get through however English Honours was one of the esteemed courses and I consider myself privileged.

Internships Opportunities

The college does provide internship and certain scholarships are available for the meritorious students as well but as a hosteller I am not much aware of the same.

Placement Experience

2.5

There is a Placement Officer under TPO who is responsible for organising job fairs and ensuring that the pass-out students can accordingly look for opportunities. Since I passed out a decade ago I have no idea about the current packages offered. Further details can be procured from PRO office.

College Events

4.5

We used to have a cultural fest for the Arts Faculty every year and apart from that the Founder's Day was also celebrated every year with zest. I have been an active member of the Literary society as well so I have participated in major events.

Fees and Financial Aid

There are various scholarships available which are on merit basis and sometimes on the basis of financial condition of the ward as well. One need to check the website and local admin dashboard to know about the same.

Campus Life

3.5

Campus life was good, we had around 30,000 students with around 10,000 female students during that time. Whatever you can imagine in co-curricular activities was performed there and it was one of the best campus globally. There was no issue of gender or religious bias and we had fun.

Alumni/Alumna

Sadly the alumni network is one of the biggest in the country and diverse as well but they have not taken much effort to ensure the development of the upcoming lot.

Exam Structure

We did not have much pressure as such. There were sessional exams in which you have to score marks and best of three used to be counted. The semester was usually 6 months period and we managed to score good marks due to regular classes. I am thankful to the diligence of the teachers as well.

Admission

The form can be procured from any city but the entrance exam takes place in the AMU campus only. First you have to come into the merit list and then intimation is sent via mail. You have to submit the duly filled form at the Administrative block to procure hall ticket for the written exam.

Great learning environment, experienced faculty, and value for money education.

Likes

The faculty members are very supportive, highly experienced, and always ready to help students with their queries.
The course fee is extremely affordable and provides great value for money for students in this region.
The campus has a peaceful learning environment with a good gender ratio of around 1:1 for boys and girls.

Dislikes

On-campus placement opportunities are limited, and students mostly need to look for off-campus jobs.
Campus infrastructure needs modernization, including better Wi-Fi access and updated lab equipment.
More practical exposure and industry-oriented training programs should be added to the curriculum.

Course Curriculum Overview:

I chose this course because it covers all essential topics required for higher studies. The curriculum is detailed and helps build strong subject basics. Teaching methods are traditional, so adding more interactive sessions and skill-based learning would be a great improvement. Exams take place every semester along with internal class tests, which helps in continuous evaluation without extra stress

A Balanced Review of My College Journey

Likes

The college regularly organizes seminars, cultural events, and technical activities, helping students improve their confidence and skills.
The library, computer labs, and classrooms are well-maintained, providing a good environment for learning.
The teachers are experienced and explain concepts clearly. They are approachable and supportive whenever students need guidance.

Dislikes

Some practical sessions need better equipment and more hands-on training to match industry needs.

Placement Experience:

Placements in our College are decent. Students become eligible from the 5th/6th semester, and companies from media, PR, and digital marketing fields visit for recruitment. The placement cell also provides training, internships, and guidance. After graduation, I plan to explore both campus and off-campus opportunities in media and communication fields.

Likes

The fees is affordable in comparison to Delhi University.
The scholarship scheme is definitely helpful for those who are economically weak.
The main campus has a central library so its quite helpful

Dislikes

The books in the central library are quite outdated
The lack of infrastructure in the affiliated colleges of AU
No merit based scholarship scheme available for the students.

Course Curriculum Overview:

I'm from humanities background so the course is quite relevant for me. The course is quite outdated however it's the same for most of the universities. the curriculum should be aligned with the competitive exams and the teaching methods should be more inclusive about the competitive exams so that the student can prepare well not only for the present course but also further upcoming exams.

A Glimpse of Life in Aligarh Muslim University

I chose this college mainly because of the less fees structure and the greenary campus , a good place to study.Moreover, I'm preparing for govt exams also, so the time needed during M.tech. is enough to focus on exams too. Also, I don't want any gap between the study and job as we have to justify later during interview (the year gaps , if any). Moreover , lot of opportunities are also possible in foreign countries too , and we are also eligible for Assistant professor post (if any). I applied for Jamia Millia Islamia too , but was in waiting list , so i decided to join Aligarh Muslim University and I'm grateful that i did so....Read More
