Course Curriculum Overview

3.5

AMU is a really reputed university and is ranked #9 on nirf. Many reputed people have graduated from AMU and it has been childhood dream to study humanities from there. You really get a great exposure and experience studying there. There are various forums, clubs and unions students could join and competitions and extra curricular activities are always happening through out the year . In vacations there camps and the university also provides side courses to help us to be financially stable. Overall it is a good university. The entrance examination are difficult but not that much but most people don't get selected because of the availability of seats which leads to high cutoff. So I would suggest that if you are trying to apply in AMU you should prepare for the entrance examination

Class Size: 50Course Fees: INR 10000 per year

Fees and Financial Aid

All courses in the university is of affordable rate and already at subsidy prices but still the university grants various scholarships and assistance to economically weaker students by conducting various interviews for interested students

Campus Life

There are lots of clubs available in which you can register yourself like music club, drama club, horse riding club, etc. there are lots of sport events on independence day, republic day, founder's day like kabbadi, badminton, basketball, table tennis etc there are lots of singing, dancing, mono act , cooking competition etc. AMU has Asia largest university library and has wide range of books from every genre and academic books.

Hostel Facilities

2.5

The facilities are good in the hostels, wifi is available for the students in the hostel canpus, clean water coolers and sport articles to practice and a councellor is available for the students but the rooms could be modified and make them spacious because students have problem adjusting things in small space. Quality of food is good but not that nice. Menu is same for most of the days but it can be understood because the amount we pay is very cheap compared to market value

Hostel Fee: INR 17450 per year

Admission

The admission in AMU is really simple. You have to fill out registration form and on the given date give entrance exam. Approximately after a month the results will be out. They don't reveal the cutoff, only the selected list is revealed. The paper difficulty level depends upon the course you are opting for. There are reservation for the sc/st/obc and distant state categories, there is also reservation for NRI and foreign students.

Perspective as a VCW student

Likes

Facility and infrastructure is really good . In facility we get good internet connection e.g , talking about labs too , we get well equipped class and materials needed for the test , sometimes it may be bit defective aur old.
Teachers are the best things about this college. Course curriculum are designed in the way that you cover everything about the topic infact , sec , aec courses are also designed in students favour only .
The campus area and environment is good too , you may find the campus area small but it's really beautiful and peaceful , there is gym , canteen , ground with basketball and badminton court . You may not get the top notch facility but its not worse.

Dislikes

The first thing could be interior and mangement of washrooms. Canteen could be more better and provide more options . In summer , other than library we get no other sitting area , except the open classroom which are in tolerable in heat.
The bus management is worse too, I left the bus service because of their management.
The fests are not worse but could be organized in more better way .

Course Curriculum Overview:

I personally find the curriculum to be well made and in favour wit the students. In teaching methods , the subjects that demand practical exposure should be given tasks to be conducted on the real life situation, like the opportunity we get during internship . They should provide task like that .

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

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
