Ahmedabad University: A hub for Innovation and Culture

I just wrote my whole curriculum in the last answer. I chose this college because it has foreign credit based system, which lets students take any course they want to study outside their majors( The GER courses that I mentioned in last answer). I have done courses in psychology, philosophy, design, arts, languages, economics and finance even though my major is Computer Science. These courses are the options every student has in order to gain knowledge from every field and not be limited to their major overall. So yeah the curriculum makes us ready for any real world aspects. Course curriculum for Btech students can be improve in the number of courses they need to complete each semeseter. It is insane to handle 7 course in one semester, I am in my college from 9:30 AM to 7:00 PM its like whole day. These are just class timings, after college hours we have to go home and work assignments, vivas, quizzes, exams,etc. There are three semester in one year Monsoon semester( Jan - April ), Summer semester(May -Aug) and Winter Semester( Aug - December). Summer semester is optional. The mid semester exams are in Feb and October. End semesters are in April and Decemeber

Summer Internships opportunities are available companies like IG Drones, Quicko, Smytten, etc gives 25k stipend for internships. I did internship under professor who offered 10k stipend and I worked on an advance deep learning research project where we had to develop a deep learning model for Identification of Mugger crocodiles.

I applied to many colleges in ahmedabad, rajasthan and mharashtra. I applied to Nirma, Daiict, LNMIT. I was rejected from Nirma and Daiict because their cut off was high and my jee rank was around 20,000. I didn't went to LNMIT because their fees is very high and it was far from my hometown in different state. So I finally went with Ahmedabad University they approached me. The admission process was nothing then becasue it was COVID 19 time so all I had to do was I that make sure I clear jee cutoff which was 92 percentile at that time and my score was 97 percentile. Eligibility criteria currently is based on GUJCAT and JEE mains score

The faculties are nice, polite and helping. They are all approachable and gives suggestions, solves problem for studdents. Many of the faculties have their own research going on in their fields and AU has a research center in all domains. I did a great project in deep learning course so professor Mehul Raval offered me a summer internship under him where I worked on an advance research project which is one of the key achievements of mine in my academic journey. Some faculties I liked are Kuntal patel, Mehul Raval, Shefali Naik, Souvik Roy, Aditi Deo. I like these faculties because they are all masters in their fields and they showcase their expertise during the classes which inspires us to became like them and take guidance from them, also they help us in each and every way possible.
