Course Curriculum Overview :
I chose this course because of the prestigious image of the university and also the fees for the 4 years of study were very economical and I could afford it. The faculty: student ratio is 1:40. The faculty is highly qualified with most of the faculty members being Ph.D. holders. In one semester, there were two exams -mid-semester (25 marks) and end semester(60 marks) with 15 marks for assignments and other stuff. The semester was of 4 months almost and with exams being after 2 months. The exams were easy to moderately tough.
Internships Opportunities :
Since I am in the second year of my college, I still have not got any internship opportunities from the college as yet. but my seniors are doing decent internships with most of them associated with a startup company. The college is not very active in taking steps to provide internship opportunities to students. so students have to put in personal efforts to get good internships.
Placement Experience :
Students become eligible for campus placements from the 6th semester onwards. Last year the major companies that came to recruit for campus placements were Amazon, L&T, Accenture, Samsung, TCS, Wipro, PayPal, MATLAB, etc. The highest CTC of 31 LPA was offered by amazon to two students. The average package offered was around 5.5lpa. Around 75%(final year students) got placed. My plan is to start my own company or to get a good-paying job in a big multinational company.
Loan/ Scholarship Provisions :
Fees for 1st year=20440/-, fees for 2nd,3rd and 4th year=5500/-, hostel fees=2000/- per year. since Aligarh Muslim university is a central university, students could apply for nsp(national scholarship portal) scholarship and avail of it. I am currently in 2nd year so I still haven't got any job opportunities as yet.
Campus Life :
Every year, an annual fest by the name of 'zarf' is conducted. All books are mostly available in the AMU library(AMU library is the largest library in Asia). The classrooms are very good with very good infrastructure and smart appliances available. The college has very good sports facilities with many grounds available for each sport and they are also kept in very condition. There are many groups and clubs run by students like SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers), ROBOCLUB, IEEE, etc.
Hostel Facilities :
The rooms provided are very average since the infrastructure is very old. Most of the rooms are two-seaters. In each room, there are usually two cupboards and one window. two table chairs are also provided. The meals provided are of decent quality. The registration process for a hostel is during admission counseling only. The hostels are very much affordable since it is available at a very affordable price.
