What Students Say
Likes
- The environment of the campus is around 500 acers, so there are a lot of places to explore inside the university itself. There are parks, open gyms and many more places to spend a good time.
- There are a lot animals in the campus, like peacocks, also there is a lot of greenry inside the campus. There is a temperature difference of about 5 degrees inside the campus when compared to the outside Temperature.
- The location of the university is good enough. All the essentials are accessible and there is a market for food just outside the gate, so there won't be any issues regarding good food outside the university.
Dislikes
- The hostels are not upto the mark they are very old and there are also no air conditioners, which is very disheartening in the summers, the hostels need to be improved.
- The classrooms are also not upto the mark, no airconditioners as well, old buildings with no proper equipment, though the teachers are good enough and helping in nature
- The mess food and the quality of the canteens can be improved, the chapatis are hard and uncooked, same goes with rice. The canteens too are very untidy and don't offer good food
Course Curriculum Overview
The course was a five year integrated course which means bsc+msc, so it was very beneficial for me to choose this as I would get a master's degree directly. The curriculum of the course was also not very hectic. Yes, but the classrooms can be an area of improvement
Internships Opportunities
There are not many intership opportunities neither are the students provided with good stipend, the stipend is also very limited...., if you're too good at your academics you might expect placements and internships but an average student must not expect much form the placement department of the university..
Placement Experience
Talking about the placements, don't expect that you will get a very good placement form the university itself. The placement cell is kind of weak, but yaa you can get good placements outside the campus. Of course placements are only for professional courses...., and I'm not doing a professional course, so my plan is to presue Phd. After completing my masters...
Fees and Financial Aid
The university is not so expensive when compared to other private universities, yes but it is quite expensive when compared to other government Universities. Guru nanak dev University is a public university, which is neither too cheap nor too expensive. The hostel fees for a year is around 20000 rupees and the mess fees per diet is 32 rupees which is quite reasonable, also the education fees(total fees for one year) is around 50000 rupees, which is also very reasonable. So yes it is a budget friendly please to presue your academics..
Campus Life
The overall life in the campus is top notch, you have various tourist spots near the university such as golden temple, jallianwala bhag, wagha border and many more, so yes you won't get bored of this place too soon, yaa but the climatic conditions might be a challenge, the yearly festival named as JASHAN is also very good and many students participate in that too, there are many social groups, social tours and many fun activities...
Hostel Facilities
The hostels are really not upto the mark, you won't be satisfied by the hostels, but when you see the price at which you are getting a hostel you really can't complain, but yes there is a chance of improvement in the hostels as well as the food quality. Air conditioners are also a must in a hot and humid area like Amritsar. Students also prefer PG's but they are also not a whole different world, yaa they might be better but a lot more expensive..
Admission
The eligibility of the course I opted for was through an exam, not any competitive exam but an exam conducted by the university itself, it's not very difficult as such, but yes you need your basics to be crystal clear. There is no negative marking which means that the exam is not very hard. Everything can be found on the official Website of the university, yes there are reservation benifits. All such things can be found out on the official Website
Faculty
The faculty is good and experienced. The professors are highly qualified and are very good at teaching, but the problem is the scholars, the first year students are taught by scholars who are persuing their Phd. In the same university and they are not very good at teaching though they also have very vast knowledge of things. We can interact with teachers quite often, as they are always available in the official timings of the university, some are even available after the class goes off. In the nutshell, it is a nice place in terms of academics if left the scholars aside.
