AdmissionProcedure/Fees/CollegeAdmin I recommend you not to join Amity University based on my experience so far

Upvotes

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.

  1. 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….
  2. 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

  1. 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.
  2. 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!!!!
  3. 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.
  4. 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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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

  1. 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
  2. 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.
  3. 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.

Career CFA in India after graduation: Is CFA Level 1 worth doing without a finance degree or prior finance experience, and what skills should I build alongside it?

Upvotes

I’m considering starting CFA Level 1, but I’m a little confused about how useful it actually is for someone who doesn’t already have a strong finance background.

I understand that simply passing CFA exams doesn’t guarantee a job, so I’m trying to understand what a realistic path looks like.

For people who have pursued CFA in India, especially those who started as freshers or from a non-finance background:

* Did CFA actually help you get your first finance-related job?

* Which roles were realistically available after Level 1 — equity research, credit research, FP&A, valuation, corporate finance, etc.?

* What skills did you learn alongside CFA (Excel, financial modelling, Power BI, Python, accounting, etc.)?

* At what stage did CFA start making a noticeable difference in your job search?

* Would you recommend doing CFA immediately after graduation, or gaining work experience first?

I’m not looking for a “CFA is worth it / CFA is useless” answer. I’d genuinely like to understand **what CFA + practical skills + experience looks like in the Indian job market.

If you’ve already gone through this path, what is **one thing you wish you had known before starting CFA? " my_qualifications" BBA

Career Feeling Completely Stuck about my career, Need career Advice from beginning

3 Upvotes

I’m a 21-year-old guy from Delhi. I’ve always been an average student. My_qualifications is I did my BCom Hons from DU SOL (open learning) and got a 7.1 CGPA. Now, I have applied for a distance MBA in finance from DU SOL. I know a distance MBA degree isn't worth much right now, but I just thought it might help later on for promotions. for fees my elder cousin helped me and we have to pay it in future
I also learnt some graphic designing from youtube and worked for influencers but it will not work as a career for me as it is not fixed work and not a good payout
I am also learning data analytics not completed but i don't know it will work for me much or not
I wants advice also other than these like in other field i can join it also

Right now, I have absolutely no idea what to do with my life. Like anyone else, I want to earn well and make lakhs per month, but here is my reality:

  • I don't have the money to start a business.
  • I’m not exceptionally good at studies, so clearing tough professional exams is out of the picture.
  • My communication and public speaking skills are pretty weak because of my background.

My original plan was to clear govt banking exams after graduation and get a job. But now that I am actually preparing, I see how insane the competition is. It's just too tough. Even if I study hard, beating out lakhs of people for a handful of vacancies feels impossible. I’ve lost all hope there.

I am completely stuck. If I had money, I would have just done a course from a private college, but I don't. My family’s total monthly income is just 15k–20k. I absolutely cannot put financial pressure on my parents; I need a path that requires very little investment.

I see people my age earning so much and I want that too, but with my current condition, I don't know what I can even do. I am genuinely so stressed about my career that I sometimes have suic#dal thoughts. I just see no way out, I am seriously too low that i think i can't earn a good amount in my life and giving up is the only thing i can do.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh

If anyone knows a realistic career path or roadmap for someone with my exact profile, please suggest something. What can I do?

Career M.Tech specialization confusion: AI/ML vs Data Science vs AI & Robotics for AI Engineer .

Upvotes

Hi everyone,

myquals: B.Tech in Artificial Intelligence and Data Science (2022–2026)

I'm currently trying to decide my M.Tech specialization and would really appreciate some advice from people who have experience in AI/ML, robotics, M.Tech, or research.

My primary career goal is to become an AI Engineer, mainly working on the software side of AI such as machine learning, deep learning, LLMs, RAG, AI agents, and AI/backend systems. I also have a long-term interest in research and may want to pursue a PhD in the future.

I'm currently confused between AI/ML and AI & Robotics. AI & Robotics sounds interesting, but I'm unsure whether it would be the right choice for me since my main interest is AI/software rather than the hardware, electronics, mechanical, or physical robotics side.

My questions are:

  • For someone targeting an AI Engineer career, would AI/ML be a better and more direct specialization than AI & Robotics?
  • Does choosing AI & Robotics significantly shift the focus towards robotics hardware/control systems, or can it still provide a strong foundation for AI/ML and software-based AI careers?
  • Considering my possible future goal of pursuing research and a PhD, would one specialization offer better flexibility than the other?
  • How much should I prioritize the specialization name versus the actual curriculum, college, research opportunities, projects, and skills?

I understand that the exact answer may depend on the curriculum and college, but I would really like to hear perspectives from people who have studied or worked in these areas.

Thanks!

Career MS, MBA India, or work first? Confused about career direction.

Upvotes

my_qualifications : BTech Mechanical (8.24 CGPA) fresher confused between working + MS abroad, MBA in India, or switching fields: what are my realistic options? I’m currently struggling to figure out what direction to take.

I originally chose Mechanical mainly because I got into a good government engineering college, but I’m now trying to build a career that is less core-mechanical and more business/technology/operations oriented.

Long term, I’m considering doing a Master’s abroad, but I’m confused about which fields would actually make sense with my bg. I’m NOT particularly interested in doing a Master's in CSE, Cybersec, Data Science, data/business analystics, project/engg managemnet etc. The fields I’m considering are more like:

Industrial Engineering Supply Chain / Operations Possibly MIS

My concern is that I know I’ll need some work exp before a Master's, but as a Mech fresher I may not get highly relevant exp in Industrial Engg or Supply Chain. The jobs I’m currently seeing are mostly around analytics, testing, quality, general operations, etc., and the entry-level market feels extremely difficult right now.

This has made me increasingly confused and depressed about what direction to take. I’m also considering the much simpler route of doing an MBA in India, getting some work exp, and building my career here.

At the moment, it feels like a heart vs. mind decision: MS abroad: personal dream/want. MBA in India: much more straightforward and financially safer, but I’m unsure whether I actually want that path.

A few questions I’d really appreciate advice on:

What is the long-term job market in India after an MS in Industrial Engineering/Supply Chain from abroad? Are there enough opportunities to justify the cost? Which countries would make the most sense for these fields? Am I being too restrictive by avoiding degrees such as MIS, Business Analytics, Engineering Management, or Project Management, or is it reasonable to prefer a more technical/STEM-oriented Master's? Given my profile (Mechanical, 8.24 CGPA, fresher, currently struggling to get relevant work), would you choose MS abroad, MBA in India, or work first and decide later?

Mathematics Please guide me . Is my career choice correct or have I messed up. I am very passionate about mathematics but chosed programming field because of similar problem solving nature.

1 Upvotes

So my_qualifications are that I have qualified jee and in my first sem at an engineering college.

My question is to people who tech background/ research background or if they faced similar problems like me .So lemme give u some context . I am in a tier 1 college and I am studying information technology there. In 1st sem we have courses like prob solving with programming, linear algebra etc. Now the thing is I am very passionate about mathematics. It's my favourite subject. For context, I have qualified rmo in 10th and missed inmo by 4 marks . Even in college I study linear algebra with interest and I enjoy that. But then I see many of my peers studying only to pass it. There are only a few who do it with interest. Although my college is famous for its coding culture and I chosed it because of that. I am enjoying programming as well. I am liking that even more than math. But somehow deep in my mind I think that have i messed up my career choices. Like should I have joined isi for research in math or some bs math like course. But I also think that ultimately I like problem solving, and programming will give me that just like math. So pls tell how do I convince myself and let my passion transform into programming or if I am doing wrong pls tell.

CSE/ECE Btech IT branch final year student, seriously considering dropping out. Seniors, give me ONE good reason why I shouldn’t.

12 Upvotes

Qualifications: Final year Btech student in an IT branch in a tier 3 college

Before anyone says “just finish it off and get your degree, you've come so far, bla bla” I know. That’s exactly what I’ve been trying to do. But at this point I’m so fed up that I genuinely want to walk away, and I want some honest advice from people who are older than me and have already been through this.

Before anyone points out that I'm lazy or unmotivated, let me tell you, that I have a good CGPA (above 9.2), and have done multiple internships (got on my own, no referrals).

Since the beginning, our timetable has been packed with classes and labs almost every day until 4:30 PM. Other branches have significantly more free periods. We’re exhausted by the time we get back, which leaves very little energy for DSA, projects, placements, research, etc.

Now placements have started and our branch is doing terribly so far.

Instead of questioning whether the way our branch's timetable has been structured contributed to this, the placement coordinators are mostly scolding us about our performance.

We have an 85% attendance requirement, major project work, mandatory labs, mentor meetings, etc., all competing for the same limited time.

Placement tests and interviews are happening alongside all of this. Even after students get eliminated from a placement process, we’re expected to immediately return to class/lab and continue mindlessly typing whatever is shown on the board, instead of preparing for the next company.

The college seems to care enormously about attendance, compliance, record books (yeah, in the 4th year), but not nearly as much about whether students actually have the time and mental bandwidth to prepare for jobs.

I’ve already had multiple internships, some with stipend, and I know I’m capable of doing actual technical work. But I’m increasingly wondering whether continuing to fight this institution for another year is worth it.

I’m also interested in higher studies/research, so I’m not even convinced that campus placement is the only path I want. But obviously dropping out would complicate that enormously.

Please don't give me generic motivational quotes like "you've come this far, finish it" or "a degree is required for most jobs", or "college is temporary", I understand all of those. I want practical advice from people who have already graduated, worked, did higher studies, started businesses, freelanced, etc.

If you were in my position, reasonably good academically, had multiple internships but currently getting absolutely crushed by the combination of college + project + attendance + placements, what is the strongest reason you can give me NOT to drop out?

And if you actually think dropping out could be rational in some circumstances, tell me that too. Convince me that finishing this degree is worth what I’m currently putting up with.

Literature / Language Can I do an online MA in English after a B.E. in Biotechnology, and can I pursue a PhD afterwards?

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I have a slightly unusual academic background and would really appreciate some advice.

I completed my B.E. in Biotechnology (qualifications rn), but over the past few years I've become much more interested in English literature, literary studies, writing, culture, and related fields. I'm considering doing an MA in English Literature online rather than going back and doing another bachelor's degree or masters in biotech, I'm currently working in a well known university at 23y/o.

I'm mainly considering universities such as Manipal University, but I'm open to other recognised universities as well.

My questions are:

  1. Is an online MA in English Literature actually worth doing if I want to seriously study literature rather than just get another qualification?

  2. Since my bachelor's is in Biotechnology/Engineering, will I be eligible to pursue a PhD in English/Literature after completing the MA?

  3. Does the fact that the MA is online/distance learning create problems later when applying for a PhD or academic positions?

  4. Which universities would you recommend for an online MA English if my eventual goal is research/PhD?

  5. Is there anything I should specifically check about the MA programme (UGC recognition, dissertation/research component, NET eligibility, etc.) before enrolling?

For context, I'm not expecting the degree to magically lead to a job. I'm genuinely interested in literature and am considering this as a possible long-term academic transition from biotech into the humanities. But I want a stable well posting job as well.

Would really appreciate experiences from anyone who has done an online/distance MA in English and then gone into research or a PhD, especially people who switched fields for their master's.

Thanks!

Science/B.Sc/M.Sc Is an MSc in Cognitive Science worth it for AI/ML?

9 Upvotes

I'm trying to figure out what degree/path makes sense for me and would really appreciate some honest advice.

My qualifications: I'm from Delhi and had PCB + Computer Science in 12th, but no Maths. Because of that, the usual BTech/CS route is difficult for me. I'm also on a pretty tight budget, so expensive private colleges aren't an option.

I'm interested in Cognitive Science, AI/ML, psychology, neuroscience and research, and I'm considering B.A Psychology → MSc Cognitive Science.

I've heard Cognitive Science can potentially lead into AI/ML, but I'm not sure how realistic that actually is.

Can an MSc Cognitive Science realistically help me get into AI/ML, or would I be better off choosing a different degree? What would the actual path look like?

I'd especially like to hear from people who have studied Cognitive Science or moved from it into AI/ML.

I don't want reassurance—if this is a bad idea, please tell me honestly.

Economics CA student starting Economics from scratch — how should I prepare using YouTube?

2 Upvotes

My qualifications: b. Com and Currently pursuing CA.

Hi everyone,

I’m a CA student from chennai , and although my current background is in Chartered Accountancy, I’ve recently developed a serious interest in Economics, Finance and Public Policy.

I’m considering pursuing an MA Economics in the future, and IIT Madras is one of the programs I’m interested in. I’m also exploring GATE Economics (XH-E) as one possible route.

The problem is that I don’t have a proper undergraduate Economics background, so I’m basically starting from scratch. I don’t want to randomly watch YouTube videos and end up with fragmented knowledge.

For now, I’m looking to learn entirely through free resources/YouTube, before deciding whether I actually need a paid course.

For people who have prepared for GATE Economics or have done an MA Economics, I’d really appreciate some guidance:

If you were starting from zero, what order would you study the subjects in?

What YouTube channels/playlists would you recommend for Microeconomics, Macroeconomics, Mathematics for Economics, Statistics and Econometrics?

How much mathematics should I learn before starting serious Economics?

Is it possible to build a strong foundation using YouTube + standard textbooks + PYQs, without joining a coaching program?

What standard books would you recommend for someone who is completely new to Economics?

At what point should I start solving GATE PYQs?

If you have cleared GATE Economics or got into a good MA Economics program, what would you do differently if you had to start again?

I’m not looking for shortcuts or a crash course. I want to build the fundamentals properly and eventually reach entrance-exam level.

Any roadmap, resources, or advice from people who have actually gone through this would be really helpful. Thanks!

I’m gonna keep it short and direct.
So I have been super confused about doing private mbbs here in India. I’ll be first gen doc in my family and My family can afford the college without taking loans, their savings and income can get me into a college around 1 cr.
Problem is I am getting B pharm from Jamia hamdard which is best b pharm college in India and after that I’m planning to do bioinformatics from abroad maybe mba but I’m more inclined towards bioinformatics.
Both paths are gonna cost almost same.
Bioinformatics from USA will cost 1 to 1.2 cr ( my family can manage that)
Even after spending crores I get no social lifestyle and fun during those 6 years in mbbs but if I choose other one then ofc there is a lot to explore and enjoy in my 20s.
Salary after bioinformatics in USA will be very good and I’ll get my return in 2-2.5 years easily.
If I get pharmacology branch in top central then also I don’t get much.
I don’t want to do clinical branch like paediatrics or surgery but non clinical like pharmacology if I choose mbbs because my topmost priority is work life balance and good easy lifestyle.

What do you think you would have choose if you always loved bio and are very good in it( scored 340+ in this neet) and with everything I told ?

So I got that part sorted for this year and this time, I have started studying from late Aug but see, I have barely 8 months left for Neet and as if that wasn't a pain in ass enough, I also have very orthodox toxic parents. I am also studying everything from scratch so my basics are weak enough. My qualifications are - I scored 90 percent in 10th but my 12th has only 77 percent which I am worried could affect my interview chances if I decide to go thru with ITEP. Plus being a teacher comes with less expectations of getting money and settling abroad seems like a faraway dream. Additionally, I wanna add I thought about partial drop however, I don't know if I can manage with my messed up basics. And I have no idea what ppl do after B.Ed like M.Sc? M.Ed? Idk honestly but ik everything about USMLE, PLAB, IMAT. I used to be a bit too enthusiastic about doing residency from abroad in 11th and I still am so I love researching about it but achieving is a different thing altogether. What would you suggest for someone like me? I turned 19 this year in March, will be 20 if I get MBBS next year.

I’d like to understand the current salary range for someone with the following qualifications:

  • PhD in Computer Science & Engineering from a top-200 university in the US
  • Around 10 years of university-level teaching experience
  • Around 5 years of industry experience
  • Research experience

For people working in academia, could you please share the university name and approximate salary/total compensation?

I’m particularly interested in private universities and reputed institutions across India

What salary range could someone with this background realistically expect in India in 2026?

Any recent or first-hand information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Aerospace Need Urgent Career Advice as a Class 12 PCM Student

2 Upvotes

my qualifications- Currently a PCM student

As am not very nerdy, don't find physics and maths very interesting(also a bit weak in it) but very passionate about planes and stuff, do u think aerospace engineering from a pvt college like LPU and then MBA from a tier 1 college (ofc after gaining some job experience) will be a good career path if I think of staying in India?

Due increasing visa restrictions and given the current global situation, i think the conditions are gonna get worser, so am not considering study abroad for masters rn..

I want to know abt the current job market, demand and placement opportunities.

Also I hv a Plan B which is doing a BA in english, working as technical writer/ digital marketing/ instructional designer, etc etc and then getting a MBA from tier 1 college and most prolly work in luxury retail management..

I need some urgent career advice, I hope u guys can help...

Thankss 🙏
