Amity University from the eyes of a regular student.

I think the curriculum and the topics we were taught in the computer science field were quite important for the course and all the necessary topics that would be needed for jobs were taught. I chose this course because of its vast opportunities in the job sector, there are one too many options for a cse student to go for in the industry field. Some improvements in the teachings method would be to teach with reference to some good books because we only get taught by some ppt that the faculties have so it's tough to follow the topics from a reference book that you purchased. The time between minor and major exams are enough to prepare for the exams but I believe there should be at least a week of preparatory leave before the exams and also maybe after the mid term exam give some days of rest for the students.

There are some good companies to get internship in but most of the internships are the ones in which you need to pay for the training... Getting an internship which pays you is actually very tough here.

The number of placements are high but the avg packages grabbed by the students isn't so high, it does show that mostly the mass recruiters come to the clg like CTS, infosys or cognizant etc... though some good level companies also come like HCL, TCS, Wipro and TATA consultancy. I believe there were about 1000 recruiters that came last year and about 11,000 placements were offered and the highest LPA was around 61 lakh rs. The percentage of students getting placed were around 90%.

Total fees of Btech CSE in Amity University is INR 16,00,000+ for the full course over 4 years. Year wise it's around INR 4,00,000+. I didn't enrolled for hostel but I do know it costs around INR 12000+ per month. There can be other travelling expenses if you are day scholar like me, It takes me around INR 3,000+ per month for travelling to college. I travel in a car pool, we divide the expense of fuel in 4 people. There are other minimal charges for purchasing some extra mandatory courses like NPTEL which clg forces you to take it costs INR 1,000 but it's a one time thing and there can be some charges for lab work things like lab files, folders, printouts etc which is needed every semester. Doesn't matter if you are hosteller or not you do not get any type of lunch service included in the hostel fees, so you need to buy food every day from the canteen if you are hosteller. Then There's the scholarship, you can get upto 100% scholarship based on your JEE merits. But to maintain the scholarship every year you need to maintain cgpa of 9+. So this is the overall fees structure and I think that it is increasing slightly every semester...

The infrastructure and campus is really good and there are a lot of greenery in the campus as well so its good. There are a lot of events happening around every festival and there is the biggest event which is AYF (Amity Youth Fest) in which some big celebs has come to the clg and there were concerts and performances as well. AYF is usually held around march. About the library, there are a good amount of books available that you can take for free you just need to get it registered every once in a month or you'll be fined about 5 rupees every day you keep the book without getting it registered every once in a month. Within the classrooms there are projectors and within the labs there are desktops but a lot of times the desktops or the projectors do not work properly so we need to call the staff to get it fixed, it doesn't take a lot of time to get fixed but still. The extracurricular activities are a ton here every year there's a big sports event as well which is called Sangathan in which every department competes against each other in a tournament for almost every sport. All the sports can be played by anyone for free but to get selected for teams you'll need to pass some tests. There are tons of clubs to get enrolled in, acting, dancing, singing, sports, tech, etc... they offer great exposure and get you to engage in group projects and help you build your resume.

Before Amity I actually enrolled in Bennett University of greator Noida, the reason I left Bennett was because of two reasons, one being that Amity's infrastructure was slightly better than benett, and other was that Bennett was way too far from my home and as I was a day scholar It was very expensive and time consuming for me to go to Bennett everyday. So I transferred to Amity University of Noida. Amity usually have an entrance exam which I didn't had to give because of my good merits in 10th and 12th cbse board exams but I've heard form people who give the entrance exam they say it's very well balanced with tough and easy questions so it's fair. The minimum criteria is around 70% in the 12th board exam. Now if I compare my clg with others I would say it fares pretty well in terms of the exposure, infrastructure and quality of education and opportunities provided. But it still it does lacks in the terms of the avg packages that students grab. Even though the job placements is high the package isn't so.

As I said before the faculties are alright in terms of their competency but not so much for their forgiving nature on the attendance thing. About exam things, there are two types of exams, minors and majors, minors are the exams which are basically the mid terms then the majors are end semester exams. Minor exams are usually 20-30 marks depending on the subject, majors are almost all 100 marks exams including the internal marks which are given by the faculties on the basis of factors like behaviour, file completion, marks obtained in class tests and attendance. Yes attendance have marks here, if you have 95%+ attendance then you get 5 marks, if from 90-95% then 4, 85-90% you get 3, for 80-85% you get 2, for 75-80% you get just 1 and then if you get less than 75% you need to give the B-cap exam, and if less than 70% you don't even get to give the B-cap you are straight up debarred and then you can give that exam in the next odd/even semester depending on which semesters that exam was in. All exams are on the average level of difficulty and most of the students were able to clear them. Though I would say not every subject we were taught were of use to us, because students of computer science were taught history, chemistry, biology and other useless subjects in some semesters of the college. The facilities are quite approachable but a few faculties only allow CRs to communicate with them at anytime (by anytime I mean anytime from 9-5, because after these hours they don't pickup calls or respond to texts). I liked Dr Nisha mam who was communication skills teacher, I liked her because she taught some very valuable lessons on personality development that I needed a good lot. She was also very lenient and very helpful in a lot of situations and treated every student with respect. I didn't liked my DBMS faculty, Dr Anil Sharma because he was quite strict with everything. He wouldn't let you even enter the class of you were just 10 minutes late.
