Beautiful campus and infrastructure .
Placements: Around 60-65% of placements are observed in this course. The highest package offered was 10 LPA, the lowest around 3-4 LPA, and the average up to 4-5 LPA. Top recruiting companies include DRDO, ITC, and Tata Chemical. Approximately 50-55% secure internships in organizations like DRDO, CSIR Labs, and pharmaceutical companies. Roles range from research chemist to QC Analyst.
Infrastructure: The Chemistry department's infrastructure is very good, with modern labs and staff always available for help—one of the best labs in India. Classrooms are also good, with Wi-Fi available for students. Hostel facilities are good, providing affordable rooms, though the mess food needs improvement. Medical services are available, and sports and game options are available in both hostels and on the campus.
Faculty: The Department of Chemistry has great teachers, with some being senior professors. They are highly qualified and knowledgeable, although they are a bit less supportive. They provide study materials. The course curriculum is made within the department and is available on the AMU website for students. SEE makes the curriculum industry-relevant. The semester exams are very challenging, with a pass percentage of only 60%. Many students face backlogs in major papers.
Other: Affordable education, support from staff is less; we are on our own. The administration is really slow, leading to delays in getting results.

Yes, you can get admission in B.Sc. chemistry in AMU with PCB. No maths is required. You'll have botany and zoology as your subsidiary subjects.
