With some extremely intorellent faculty members they just destroys your mental health making you feel like dumb not helping you at all to grow up

Course Curriculum Overview

4.5

Wide range of fields. Can be practical in our daily life. Teach us about how important our mental physical and social life is. As psychology is subject that deals with humans mind it is very easy to appoint yourself as a counselor helping other members as well.

Class Size: 27Course Fees: INR 9700 per year

Fees and Financial Aid

Tution fees was of 9700 of first year. After taking admission the fee structure is very low like only about 4300. As mt campus is quit far so I travel through autos which sometimes is heavy to pay but transport facility is provided after every 6 months we need to pay rupees 2000 for it. Scholarship are of almost no use they are only 10 percent of the total money spend.

Campus Life

4.5

Sir Syed week is celebrated in October. There is dinner hosted for students by the faculty members 2 times in a session. Various events and fests are being organised. Wide range of books are available but all are of extremely old version. Horse riding,eco-friendly clubs, basketball,swimming pool, skating, hockey, football, badminton etc trainers are also provided. And other clubs like singing drama film making event planning are also there . There are also short term and long term skill development course providing a handful amount of money to the students.

Admission

You need to be 17+. Should have passed with good marks Must qualify the entrance examination. www.amuexamcontroller.com ? website Reservation is there . 5 to 10 Grace marks are given toh them . 2 hours long entrance examination which is sometimes quiet tough. Min marks required to qualify is 55/100

Faculty

There are professor assistant professor PhD holders research scholars appointed for better understanding every topic have a teacher appointed for it. Some teach you morals as well to go along in your life some just complete it as a burden on them.

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
