You can expect your internal exams within one month after you semester begins. Typically your semester continues for 5 months and then after one week of study leave you can expect your external exams.

Internships Opportunities

4

Since I am a student of Arts and I come from an English background, I didn't have the opportunity to enroll myself in an internship. Although in my final year I was given a dissertation to write, for which I had to travel and enroll myself into different seminars of different Universities.

Placement Experience

3.5

Typically students in their final year, i.e., 5th and 7th semester sit for campusing. Renowned companies like TATA, AUDI, CADBURY, etc, recruit their employees from here. I remember a student from CSE secured a package of 36LPA. I didn't sit for campusing because I wanted to go for higher education.

Campus Life

5

Throughout the year there are several fest and programs held in Amity University, Kolkata. Since the campus is in Kolkata, and Durga Puja being one of the most widely loved and famous festival in the city, the campus echoes with the sound of Dhak and dresses itself with Kashphool in Mahalaya. The students also perform a ritualistic dance Dhunochi Naach. Several other feats like Welcoming Freshers, Winter Fest, Cake Mixing, etc, along with Amiphoria- the 3-day annual fest is conducted in Febraury. The annual sports event named Sangathan is held typically in September or October. There are also various clubs, like literary club , dance club, sports club, etc, available for you to enroll into.

Admission

I personally didn't apply for any other Colleges or Universities. Knowing the fact that the classes will be conducted in an online mood, since there was an outbreak during 2020, I opted for the best University in the town. The admission process is very smooth but as mentioned earlier the aftermath is tiresome, you have to go through a lot of paperwork. The minimum eligibility criteria for any course is 60 percent.

Faculty

4.5

Throughout your course at Amity, each semester you will be allocated a different mentor. Your mentor tries to help you in whatever ways possible while staying within the guidelines. For example for me, my mentor Prof. Dr. Madhurima Mukhopadhyay helped me prepare for my entrance exams like CUET(PG), Aliah University entrance exam, Jadavpur University entrance exam, etc. Thankfully with God's grace and Madhurima Ma'am's suggestions, I cracked all of them. The maximum class strength you can expect is 60. Amity allows you freedom to rate and write a feedback for your faculty with full honesty because the feedback form comes with an anonymity. You can expect a duration of 5 months for each semesters. After every even semester you will get a long holiday of 2 months. If you follow your classes regularly you can easily get 60 percent.
