Aligarh Muslim University is one of the esteemed universities in India.
Placements: As of now no one has been placed as we have not completed our course. 90% of the students of my class are doing their internship in government companies, non-government companies, NGOs, schools, and IT companies. There have been offers for creative writing, social marketing, teaching, web development etc.
Infrastructure: Our department has access to internet connection- Wi-Fi and ethernet. We have a seminar library where thousands of books can be found and we also have a central library named Moulana Azad Library which is ISO certified and has the Asia's second the largest collection of books. We have classrooms well furnished with smart class facilities.
Faculty: We have the best, highly educated, and experienced professors and assistant professors. Most of the teachers are UGC NET qualified and have experience of more than 20 years. We have professors who have links with the reputed agencies. They are very helpful.
Other: I chose this course as I was very much interested in literature. My love for reading novels and articles influenced me to continue with English literature. The best thing about this course is I come to know about different cultures and the happenings of the society. According to me, English literature or any other literature is a sea of knowledge. So we should get more time for our course as right now after the COVID-19, we have semester which is of only 3 months. We have a whole lot of programmes organized in our department.
