Sanat's Review On Amity College Of Commerce & Finance - [ACCF], Noida

Given no admission test to enter into my college just given 12th CBSE board examinations from commerce field. Yes, their was an interview for admission, taken by the college in which my hobbies, likes dislikes and favourite subject was asked and some question related to my favourite subject.

Course include lots of subject close 11-12 subjects in each semester including foreign business language (french, german, etc.), behavorial science, english language and some core subjects like accountancy, economics, taxation, financial services and moreover some open electives like cricket, Military Training Camp, etc. There are also some Non-Teaching credit courses which are concluded by submitting report and viva.

Not really, internships are not paid by the college. But they make compulsory for every student to take internship before 5th semester and their are marks for it as well. Internships should be at least 2 months.

Placements are more for marketing in companies like zomato with average package of 3 lacs per annum. Their also companies like Citi bank, some commerce companies like Ernst & Young which gives package of around 2.85 lacs per annum with buying of around 10 students last year.

The cultural events include Holi, Independence day, rakhi, diwali, etc. All the cultural events are celebrated by students in the campus but faculty is not involved. Their are several weeks that are celebrated like entrepreneurship week, finance week. These week includes lectures and games related to topic & certificates are provided. Teacher's Day is also celebrated by cutting of Cake by faculty head.

Fees is very high in Amity University. For commerce it starts with rs 70000 for 1st and 2nd semester, Rs 73500 for 3rd & 4th semester and Rs 77500 for 5th & 6th semester(this structure is for students taken admission in 2015). Current fees structure for commerce starts around 80000 to 87500.

Scholarships are given on Merit basis above 88% aggregate in 12th 30% scholarship, 50% scholarship 90-92% aggregate, 100% scholarship above 92% aggregate. For other persons who are not scholars have to be in top 3 of CGPA to get scholarship 30%. For scholars they have to sustain CGPA above 8 to retain their scholarships.

Gender Ratio depends upon the course chosen, for example boys will be more in engineering, but girls will be more in commerce. Lots of diversity in the college, students from different places of India takes admission having different languages and religions. They are also some Africans in the campus.

Hostel costs above 100000 per annum with AC with individual room but common bathroom (4people sharing). Rs 70000 for Non AC (all hostel facilities doesn't include mess fees). Mess food is average but there are Domino's, Cafe Coffee Day, Subway, Mamma Mia in the campus which gives enough variety to students. PG & Flats near Campus costs around Rs 11000 per student with extra for AC and no food included in it.

Exam structure is kind of hectic and long lasting. On the average semester exams takes about 20-25 days which becomes boring and frustrating for students. There may be 2 exams on the same day which brings pressure & diverted focus on the subjects. Their might be continuous examination as well for internal assessment and for semester's externals.

Faculty is very competent and understanding. There are no Professor in the Department currently. There is frequent change in faculty and lots of visiting Faculty coming from different university as well. There is lots of guest lectures from expert in industries which gives insight into practical scenarios in the current economic period.
