Remarks

I had applied to Symbiosis International (Deemed to be University). I didn't attend because I didn't clear the interview round. I had applied to St. Xavier's University, Kolkata. I chose not to attend because my current college is far better in terms of the quality of the curriculum, campus placement and faculty, comparison. No, I didn't avail any kind of quota. Normally, an interview is conducted, where the student has to answer the questions asked by the interviewers and if the interview goes well the candidate is selected. But since in the year 2020 the situation was different they had asked students to record videos answering the questions ranked, it was all done through their microsite. Also, students securing an aggregate of 80% in class 12th get direct admission. They are admitted only on the basis of their application and good grades. The admission process was pretty smooth. The questions asked were relevant to the course that ii had applied for and therefore, I could answer.

Course Curriculum Overview

4.5

I chose the course firstly because I had an interest in it. Secondly, I got a full scholarship for my first year. Currently, there are 6000 students and 100+ faculty members. The faculty members are highly qualified with degrees like B.Ed, M.Phil, M.sc. and B.sc. The teaching methods are very student-friendly and have a holistic approach. There are two semesters in each year with two-term papers every 5 months. The difficulty level of the term paper is moderate

Internships Opportunities

4

Internship of companies like BYJU'S, NDTV, Zomato is provided by our university. Research opportunities with professors are also provided. Certificate and letter of recommendations are provided as an outcome of the internship.

Placement Experience

4

From the 4th semester, the college starts preparing students for campus placement and they become eligible in the 5th semester. Some of the companies that visit for campus placement are Amazon, Cognizant, Deloitte, KPMG, ITC, Indigo, Swiggy etc. The highest package was 28lac in the year 2020 offered by Amazon. 90% of the students get placed every year. I plan on doing either master's in economics or an MBA.

Fees and Financial Aid

The total cost to study (3 years) is 4lac. The name of the scholarship is Admission merit scholarship. For 100% scholarship, the student should score 93% aggregate (excluding PE, fine arts etc) and above in their 12th board, for 50% the student should score 88% aggregate and above in 12the board and for 25% the student should score 80% aggregate and above in 12th board. Recently it provided financial assistance to students in actual need. The university waved off full fees for those students whose parents died due to COVID - 19. I didn't get any job on campus.

Campus Life

4.5

The annual fest is called Amiphoria, it is conducted in the month of March. Due to the pandemic, I didn't get the opportunity to visit the campus library but Amity provides an E-library where the pdf of course-related books are available. All basic amenities like clean desks and chairs, projectors relevant equipment if required for the course are available in the classrooms. My college conducted a sports meet every year in the month of September and it is called Sangathan. Many sports are encouraged on campus, some of them are basketball, volleyball, swimming, cricket, etc. There are plenty of clubs here. It is kind of mandatory for students to join one club at least. some of the clubs are event clud, E-cell, Music club, AZMIE, ALFAZ. There are publication committees as well.
