A honest review for Amity Ranchi

There are mid-semester exams in the middle of every semester and an end-sem at the end of it. There are a total of 8 semesters. The course curriculum is of mid-difficulty. Anyone who attends and listens to classes can pass them with flying colours. Curriculum is designed as per UGC standards. They also teach subjects to meet the industry demands. Foreign language such as French is compulsory. Overall the curriculum is good.

Students who secure their position in the top 5% of the class get a scholarship of upto 100%. Also, during admission, if you score more than 85%, the college provides scholarship upto 50% during admission for the 1st semester.

At my time the Campus was very small, but it was well equipped with air conditioners. Now they have their own campus which is quite spacious and advanced. There's an annual fest called Amiphoria which is the main event. There's also a sports fest called Sangathan. Extracurricular activities such as dance, singing, etc are promoted during various events. The library is overall good. You can read subscription journals when connected to library's wifi. They have good books as well.

I didn't apply for other colleges. This was nearby my house and almost the best private college among others. The admission process is very easy. There's an entrance test followed by an interview. For B.Tech in Biotechnology, you just need to have more than 60% in the PCBE. The entrance exam is also very easy.

I had a mixed experience with the faculties at Amity Ranchi. While some professors were highly knowledgeable and supportive while others were inexperienced and very unprofessional. The greatest faculty in the biotechnology department is Dr. Kunal Kumar who has an in-depth knowledge of the subject and explains very concept very well. He also explains lab procedure in a good and easy way. However, there are some professors like Dr. Sumira Malik who only exploits students to write papers for them and omits their names very often. She shows very unprofessional behaviours such as having lunch in the laboratory, missing classes oftentimes and completing coursework just by handing over her presentations (she also involves students to make her teaching presentations). When some students acheive notable academic success, some faculty members display bizzare behaviour, making it clear that they feel threatened by some sort.

The basic eligibility requirement for my course was 60% in the 12th standard. Then there's an entrance test which asks simple multiple choice questions similar to NEET but the difficulty level was very easy. Anyone with basic knowledge of the subjects can crack it. Then it is followed by an interview where they ask simple questions like why do want to choose this course and university.

My favourite place to hangout was the lab. Although the library is good as well. Now the campus as cafeteria, large ground, seminar halls and many more.. However there's no gym facility provided by the university. There are separate hostels for boys and girls. The college timings are from 9.15am-5.30pm.
