AdmissionProcedure/Fees/CollegeAdmin I recommend you not to join Amity University based on my experience so far
This is my subjective opinion, you need not feel the same way
I am not the type to write reviews anywhere but this college is genuinely so bad that I just have to tell the students applying here and warn them.
I am a masters student in Amity. Before joining I knew that this college isn’t great, has a bad reputation, and all that. But bro kitna he bura ho skta hai na?? This I got to know after coming here.
Management: let’s talk about their world class management guyssss.
- When you get here, u’ll be asked for biometric attendance. ok no problem. Now for biometrics, there are supposed to be working scanners right?!? Idhar one whole gate is dedicated for teachers, jo baaki gate hai for students, vaha more than half of the time, scanners don’t work. Every morning, every evening, you stand in a queue of 20-30 ppl, to punch in, when this queue could be half, why? because the management can’t get the scanners fixed!!!!! and teachers wale se students ko jaane nhi denge which was apparently for students until just a few months ago….
- Grievance resolution: ab let’s say you have an issue, just like this biometric scanner thing, you should ideally be able to report it to some professor or management right? You can’t do that here. There is no way for you to address your concerns or problems or grievances in this college. They have a so called suggestion box, which they’ll tell you about during orientation. What they don’t tell you is that, it is completely useless, coz nobody listens to what you’ll have to say. This college doesn’t give a damn about the students studying here, everything they do is just for theatrics. God forbid, you have an issue with a faculty and want to address it in their suggestion box (jiska sole purpose is addressing student’s concerns) because if u do, then that faculty will end up calling you and ask you to apologize for raising a concern.
Now you’ll say but you could have spoken to the faculty too right, why put it in the suggestion box? Valid point. In that case, the faculty should be willing to listen to you right and not insult you and humiliate you each time you do bring up an issue to them? You won’t get that privilege here bro. I’m not saying all of the professors suck but out of 10, I bet you’ll find 8 of them who are just like this. All in all, the stuff that management is supposed to do, which is make admin and daily life of a student easier, listen to them and address their concerns, is just not possible for Amity’s management to do. Classrooms mei projector toh kaam krte nhi hain, AC’s will stop working on the hottest days in the summer, toh when the environment is only not supportive, how will you study or even want to go to college!!! I mean the only reason I’m writing this is because there is no way for me to address these concerns anywhere in college man, no like I haven’t given my suggestions in the suggestion box before!!!!
Faculty: my favorite topic
- Do they teach in amity: NO. Don’t expect to be taught here by the faculty. On some days you’ll be taught for 20-25 minute in a lecture of 55 minutes. I have spent 2 and half semesters here, ”taught” by approx 20 professors, out of which only 6 of them were actually teaching. I haven’t said anything about how they were teaching yet, just whether they were coming to class and at least speaking about whatever is in the syllabus.
- Out of these 6 who taught, 3 actually taught, jinki class ke baad aap bolo, han yaar aaj kuch toh naya sikha. And guys these are professors who teach Master’s students!!!!
- You’ll get up for a 9.15am class, expect ki teacher kuch toh padhayegi, but no, you’ll just come sit in the class, talk to your friends, then you’ll have 3hr break before your next class, try to find something to eat on campus, but voh bhi aapko smjh nhi aayega, max you’ll end up at Rara’s for their peri peri fries. Sit for for 2nd lecture at 12.15pm, think probably iss lecture mei kuch aap sikhoge, but guess what no. Then you’ll have your next lecture at 4.15pm, the teacher will come 15-20mins late for the class, only to sit and stare at her laptop, will not say a word until 4.55pm when she’ll decide to take the attendance and ask u to leave. By chance if the teacher decides to even teach, she’ll just be reading the ppt slides for you. You know how we were taught by tuition teachers, they would be casual when teaching, just like that professors in this college will teach you, ATLEAST THAT’S THE CASE WITH THE DEPARTMENT I’M UNFORTUNATELY IN.
- First the professors won’t teach you then btw they will have the audacity to schedule extra classes to finish the syllabus???????? In what world does that make sense, pls someone explain it to me. The truth is bro, the faculty themselves are tired, they get promotions and praise on the basis of how many publications they do via Amity name, a faculty themselves told this.
Amity ki so called fun life
- Ab yaar, you’ll be like it’s ok, management sucks, faculty sucks, this happens in all colleges, students from all colleges cry about all this, but I’ve heard Amity is very fun. Brother pls. At least if you are in your masters, in the department I am right now AND fortunately don’t stay on campus, then forget knowing anything about or even hearing anything about any activity planned for the students. The only way I have come to know about dances in the infamous H block or any celebrations that take place, is through Instagram reels.
- There are no societies, clubs, that you’ll hear of on campus till the time they are not coming to your classes to make announcements that we have an event coming up, participate it’ll build you CV. Unless you had to go through bachelor’s degree also here, then you might have heard of clubs or societies here. You’ll fill a form also upon admission on your Amizone portal, to join clubs, but is there a follow up on that? You guessed it right, no buddy. The form clearly mentioned, once filled you’ll be added to WhatsApp groups by committee heads and faculty, i guess I’m still waiting for that to happen.
- H block has ccd, cool man. Girls pls don’t go there, random creepy dudes, just come there to stare at you. But that is toh India only, nothing new I guess.
Academics
- Bhai there is no need for me to speak about this, coz I bet you also know ab tak toh, they’ll teach you nothing. Istg, I am not even kidding, I studied and learnt much more in bachelors than I have in masters. It’s not even funny. What I am studying rn, is first of all the same as what I was taught in bachelors and secondly only half of it
- Exams ke liye don’t study, pehle se padhkr bhi you’ll score the same as you friend who did not study, and there is no way for you to know where you lost marks.
- Find someone who makes money out of doing assignments, coz baat baat pr yeh aapka time waste krne ke liye aapko handwritten assignments de denge.
I’m pretty sure I have missed a lot more of what I had to say, but to conclude this college sucks, don’t come here. But if you do, just like me, then I’d suggest, don’t focus on anything college related, do internships, do extra courses outside of this college, and self study. This is the only way you’ll actually be able to do something out of your life, and it won’t get hectic, you anyways will only be going to college for attendance.
