The university is good and the professors of this university are also very nice.

Placements: In this course, no one takes placement because most of the students go for the Ph.D. and Masters. So no one is taking placement in this course because other courses in the B.A. like economics, sociology, and political science get placements in this university.

Infrastructure: The college has a library, computer lab, and facilities for sports, games, and cultural activities. The college also has a canteen and medical facilities. However, some say the toilets are in poor condition. And has many games like lawn tennis and horseback riding .

Faculty: The faculty are helpful and the course curriculum is relevant. However, some say the semester exams are challenging due to the extensive course content. The faculty are highly qualified, and the course curriculum is relevant. The semester exams are not very hard, with a passing percentage of 33%.

Infrastructure is excellent, good placements in 2022.

Placements: As far as my course is concerned, less chance of getting placement in the university. Placement is more seen in B.Tech and other professional courses where many reputed companies like Accenture IBM Infosys NIC Wipro HCL information System and many more interact with the Placement Cell every year for the recruitment of the students.

Infrastructure: The Wi-Fi facility provided to the students in the university is excellent. But First we have to fill a form for registration of Mac address. As far as the infrastructure is concerned, University has left no stone unturned in providing with necessary facilities to the students. The Maulana Azad University is full of literary works and either important books which are needed by the student, Hostel facility is also good, The quality of food is better when compared to other universities.

Faculty: The teachers in Aligarh Muslim University are very well qualified, Most of the teachers have done their Ph.D. from the university. Teachers are very friendly and help the students in various ways. The syllabus however is very vast and the time given to student in End semester exam is just 2 hours Moreover the exam is not difficult to pass and the pass percentage is approximately 35 percent.

Other: I am pursuing my B.A. Hons in History, Why I chose History I personally believe that reading history broadens your vision, as you come to know about the astonishing facts hidden in the past, And get to about different societies their cultures and other aspects of life The career options for a Historian are very vast some of which include Researcher Archeologist Professor and so on I would wish that the faculty gets at a better level As far as the fests Connectivity, campus Surroundings and Extracurricular activities are concerned everything is pretty much balanced .
