Course Curriculum Overview

3

I was driven towards this monument by speculation based on previous alumni and an enormous amount of civil servants because our university is popularly known as the " homeland of civil servants". Although these things have become platitudes to this day. The ratio of student-faculty ratio is overwhelming as there are a lot of students and fewer faculty staff recruited. As per the norms it has to be 1:25 but in AU, it is around 1: 50. The qualification of faculty members are sufficient for teaching but they all lack teaching experience. one more thing Is that they have been doctrine within the same University and teaching in the same which promotes "academic inbreeding". The fresh viewpoints are lost. The condition of examinations is another problem for AU due to the overwhelming number of students. So the dates usually increase

Fees and Financial Aid

From my perspective, the fee hike is an obvious thing to do since the university is in a lot of debt already and it's not like the fee hike is absurd totally it is an essential and payable amount. Unfortunately, campus job hiring is not available due to the lack of academic courses.

Campus Life

3.5

You can find each type of group in this universe from political to studious, everything is available here. Although the hesitation in conversation and lack of confidence is there in a substantial amount nevertheless the environment here is nice and devoted towards what you want to do. The library in AU contains an enormous amount of knowledge although it is quite outdated but still one of the best things here. The promotion of extracurricular activities lacks here as it has fewer social groups with low number of interested students since majority of the students here are devoted to their studies.

Admission

I would say the exam was somewhere in the middle when it comes to difficulty. It wasn't so difficult as per my perspective the eligibility was for BA, BFA & BPA, students must have appeared or passed the 12th or equivalent exam in any stream from U.P Board/ CBSE/ ISC or an examination equivalent. I do belong to the EWS category so the 10% reservation was available for me as a matter of fact it didn't help that much I would say. But did help those students who in a real sense were needy. The changes or improvements are a must required thing for AU right now because it didn't manage to keep up pace with other universities. So to rejuvenate, there have to be fundamental changes required. First of all, the separation of study from politics, and the annual system of examination ought to be replaced by the semester system of examination. and try to promote merit

There is not a single reason to justify this question i would say. First of all the low standards and the prestige has become platitude to this day since there is no more environment left for study due to the paradigm shift of student culture. Too much in

I have interest in psychology that's why I adapt this course. got to know so many things about psychology and which help me to know people better really help me in my day today life. But the professor need to explain more and do not give illusionary examples. Did they have to try to explain in real world scenario. The courses is difficult and the paper is so lengthy give three hours to write and the people is so many that the time is insufficient they need to give more time if they expect to fill 24 pages of answer sheet.

Course Curriculum Overview:

The curriculum at Amity University is a well rounded blend of theortical principles and practical relevance that shaped my future career. There are modules like microeconomics, macroeconomics, econometrics and statistics that provide a strong formation for any future career opportunities in economics or finance. Additionally the presence of specialise subject like health economics, developmental economics, international trade, public policy and behavioural economics very highly appealing and something you would not find in other universities or/and government university. The inclusion of such modules got my attention because it promised to go beyond traditional economic subjects and focusing on the practical subjects that are also industry specific level of domain of economics. They were also research projects, data analysis classes, case studies throughout the three year course which allows students to apply and test their knoweldge that further enhance the value of the degree. There were also subjects like environmental sciences, psychology, communicative English which was made mandatory for students that help them shape their personality and adapt more to a corporate setting. The examination system is designed to assess the viability of skills and critically but the difficulty of exam especially towards the end of semester can create unnecessary pressure for students. There will be time that there will be last minute syllabus changes or additional chapters to be considered and there is no structured format of what you can expect in the written exam however there is a fair grading system though some students feel that instead of the exams there can be more emphasis on analytical side rather than modules that require rote learning.

Overall curriculum was good that they make proper schedules of classes and all but there was something lacking is that sometimes the professor was absent and we wasn't aware about that and sitting in that class without knowing they should inform us or make a proper arrangement for replacing of class with other teacher and also there was lacking of technology in studies I didn't remember how many times they used the projector for proper teaching.
