Really good academics and facilities.
Placements: There was no significant on-campus placement, but the college gives priority to AMU students everywhere. The highest package offered in our course was 12 LPA. The average package was around 5 LPA. Top recruiting companies were India Today, ABP News, and Bhaskar, etc.
Infrastructure: Facilities and infrastructure available for our course were extremely good. The Maulana Azad Library was present on the university campus. The hostel was decent. All essential facilities like fresh drinking water, clean washrooms, and a geyser were available. Canteen and mess food were available. Multiple sports complexes were present.
Faculty: Teachers were helpful, well-qualified, and knowledgeable. The teaching quality of our faculty members was extremely good, they gave holistic development. The course curriculum was relevant. There were so many events organized so students could get industry exposure and real-life work. The semester exam was a little tough.

It is the best place to improve your career.
Placements: Students of AMU are not at all lucky in terms of having campus placements. I suggest that our university should work on providing campus placements as it is one of the most important things to improve students career. None of our classmates got a job through campus placements.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure of our university is good. I did my graduation and post-graduation from AMU, and I did not find any problem regarding infrastructure. If there's any problem, then the concerned team members who take care of all these things will make sure that it will be proper.
Faculty: Learning is excellent here, so students are very lucky to get admission in AMU. The syllabus is according to the course, and you will find every faculty member is educated in their specialised subject in our university. I am very proud to be a part of AMU.
Other: I did PG in mass communication, and I got this course by chance. However, gradually, I started liking the subject. I wish that our college should make our subject more practical based rather than theory.
