Placement Experience:
It's been 1.5 years of my college yet and I haven't heard of placement l. So I would not recommend coming into this college specially for placements. However, many assistantships are offered in college itself.
Azim Premji University offers a socially committed learning environment focusing on equity, sustainability and social justice creating a meaningful and unique and meaningful academic journey
The university attracta a diverse student body fostering enriching social interactions and diverse perspective
Faculty members are highly qualified and supportive ensuring collaborative learning and personalised mentorship for students growth
Dislikes
The placement focus is strong in education and development sectors but lacks broader opportunities in corporate or other diverse field
While functional, the campus infrastructure could benefit from more recreational and social spaces to enhance the overall student experience
The university's alumni network network is developing but could be more robust in offering mentorship and connections for career growth across varied sectors
Student Snaps:
Placement Experience:
Azim Premji University emphasizes careers in social impact. Placement begins in final year. Top recruiter include NGOs, research institutions and policy firms.
Average package ?5-7 LPA, highest is ?10 LPA. About 80% relevant jobs. My plan is to work in research or grassroots development.
The quality of teaching for my course - BA Economics (Hons) is exceptional. The professors give quality time with each student to ensure concepts are clear and go beyond the surface level teaching of all concepts.
Every student gets their own mentor, who is a professor within the University who will help you guide yourself through everything, ranging from academic difficulties to personal grievances. There are regular sessions scheduled with these mentors..
There is plenty of freedom in the university. Unlike other university's there is no strict dress code or unreasonable rules for the students to follow. The campus allows each indivitual to be true to themselves.
Dislikes
The campus is very far from the city, making it difficult to have any sort of weekend get aways to the city tiresome. There are very few places around the campus that will let you experience city life.
The university does not encourage competitive spirit festivals like youth festivals apart from sports. Hence narrowing down the avenues where students can get certificates for extra curriculars to add on to your CVs
Academic rigor can get too overwhelming sometimes and one may not get time to study for other parallel exams for masters like GMAT, CAT, GRE etc. Finding time for extra curriculars may also get difficult.
Placement Experience:
The university does have a placement team which faculy and student led. Studnets become eligible for placements towards the end of their fourth year - last semeter. Approximately 100-150 NGO's come to campus for recruiting. The university does not promote private firms for placement but students can apply indivitually. The average pay is 20 Lakh per year. Many students after undergraduation opt for higher studies, so is my plan. But most of the master's students opt for placement and 98% - 99% get placed into NGO in top positions.
I plan to pursure a masters degree after my undergraduation, preferably in economics.
University does have a Placement Cell that actively engages in activities to promote student placement. Over the last couple of years, more than 200 students have been placed in over 300 organizations in the social sector.
You must have completed 10+2 (or equivalent) from a recognised board with a minimum aggregate of 50%. You will be required to take the college's entrance exam; if you pass the exam, you will be invited for a personal interview.
One of my graduation seniors was studying Azim Premji University and had all good things to say about the college. I decided to just search it online. I found the curriculum suitable for professional career. I was asked to deposit 12th marksheet scoring 68% and also appeared for the entrance test. Based on the entrance tests, I was shortlisted for personal interview and then the final selection is made depending upon the opted course.
For securing a seat in this prestigious University I have qualified the entrance examination conducted by the University along with the interview round. University believes in building a sustainable society. The application can either be submitted on the official website or in the office itself.
Azim Premji University has one of the best economics course as well as faculty in the country. Moreover, it has a diverse set of common cirriculum courses, which are best suited to develop overall character.
There are students from all over India and we also have a lot of students from this state as well. There is strictly no ragging policy which provides the fresher's ease of mind. There is the whole department which checks on the welfare of the student
The Admission in this college is throught the entrance exam. You can fill the form for the exam online and then you have to appear for the exam if you clear it then you have to go through an interview and it's done.
