Dream College of many students.
Placements: Placement for B.A. Linguistics at AMU are limited but graduates often find roles in academics, publishing, translation, etc. Top recruiting companies are Amazon and Accenture. Internships are encouraged to gain practical experience in translation, localization, and computational linguistics.
Infrastructure: In women's college AMU offers good classrooms, labs, Wi-Fi, and access to the women's college library. Indira Gandhi Hall and hostel provide a clean environment. Food is average in the dining hall. Wi-Fi and medical care are good, ambulance is available for 24 hours for emergencies.
Faculty: Teachers are highly qualified, experienced, and supportive, ensuring quality education. They focus only on theoretical education. As I'm 1st year student our results for 1st semester have not come but the paper was average neither difficult nor easy.
Other: I chose this course because of my interest in language studies but could improve with more focus on practicals. The vibrant campus life includes cultural events, scholarship, and diverse extracurricular activities in a supportive environment.

Quite dissatisfied because of unequal opportunities for B.A. courses as compared to other courses.
Placements: So basically, there are about 25-30 students enrolled in this course, and none of them willingly took it, including me. Placement of this course is below average, you have to study really hard to get better placement. Otherwise, you won't be able to achieve much rather than a degree.
Infrastructure: Infrastructure available for this course is comparatively low, and in college you would hardly find books related to this course. If I talk about the hostel, it is far better than the other universities. You can easily accommodate the hostel facility as there are sufficient seats in the hostel, especially for the B.A. course like linguistics. The quality of food is also satisfactory and hygienic. I will recommend you for this college.
Faculty: Teachers are very helpful, qualified, and knowledgeable, except for a few. The teaching quality is okay, but it could have been better. If we talk about the semester, it feels like the semester came too quickly, and there isn't enough time. Exams are a bit difficult because there's limited time, but the passing percentage isn't very high. You can pass easily if you study carefully.
Other: I didn't choose this course, I was given it. Few things could be better about this course than making it more practical rather than theoretical. There are very few fests here, when they do happen, they are quite boring.

Placements: The 2022 FYUP batch of B.A. Hons. Linguistics achieved 60% placements, an average package of INR 4.8 LPA, the highest at INR 8.5 LPA, and the lowest at INR 3.2 LPA. The top recruiters are language research firms. In educational institutions, 40% got internships at the Cambridge Language Centre and Rosetta Stone. Key roles offered are language specialists, linguistic analysts, etc.
Infrastructure: The Department of Linguistics offers commendable infrastructure with a good lab, a seminar library, and a Wi-Fi facility. Hostel facilities are almost all covered, although the food quality in the mess and canteen could be improved. Adequate medical facilities and sports amenities add to the overall experience.
Faculty: The teachers are supportive, knowledgeable, and qualified. The course curriculum is well-designed, keeping industry requirements in mind, and is according to national education policy. The semester exams are easy. The IPA part, however, is difficult as it requires practice.

Great faculty at the Department of Linguistics at AMU.
Placements: I'm from the 2022 batch of AMU, pursuing a B.A. Hons. in Linguistics. Around 85% of students were placed, with the highest package at INR 6 LPA, the lowest at INR 3.5 LPA, and an average of INR 4.8 LPA. Top recruiters include TCS, Wipro, and Accenture. About 70% secured internships at firms like Lingocorp and Language Matters. The top roles offered are linguistic analyst, content writer, and language specialist.
Infrastructure: The Linguistic Department offers excellent facilities like WI-FI, well-equipped labs, spacious classrooms, and a rich library. Hostel facilities are decent, food in the mess is satisfactory, the canteen has a good variety at affordable prices, and there are medical services available. Sports and games are encouraged with adequate provisions. Overall, there is a comfortable learning environment.
Faculty: The teachers were knowledgeable and generally helpful in the department of linguistics. The teaching quality was good. The curriculum is relevant but needs more industry-oriented content. Semester exams are moderately difficult, with a pass percentage of around 70%.
