My beautiful university is blossoming.
Placements: Our college placements are very good. This year, companies offer a package of 10 LPA to students which is good and capable of doing work for companies. A lot of companies like L&T, HCL, etc., hire students. There are also many internship programs for students.
Infrastructure: The hostel facility is the best in the university. All juniors respect the seniors and seniors help students in their studies and future jobs. Hostel food is good for both veg and non-veg students. They get what they want in their meals. The hostel fee is also very low.
Faculty: Teachers are well-qualified and PhD holders. They gave so much knowledge to students for their futures. The course curriculum makes it easy for students to pursue their careers. Exams are not tough and are held semester-wise. The pass percentage is 95%.
Other: I think AMU has the best campus life. Staff members and students live together and greet them all day. There are many hostels, so students play and spend their time mostly in the hostel. There is mostly greenery in the university.

Know about AMU from my eyes.
Placements: The placements provided by AMU are average for most of the students though there are some above-average exceptional cases who received quite good placements as seen from last year. For example, there are many students in foreign colleges who studied at AMU during their bachelor's or master's. In the end, it all depends on the quality of the student.
Infrastructure: English department of AMU being one of the oldest and most reputed in India provides good opportunities and an environment for the student to learn from. Further, the department also includes well-qualified professors from all over India who make the learning experience quite good. As for the hostel facilities, AMU does provide hostel facilities for external students. But getting a hostel becomes tough in the first year of the course so students either live outside by renting a place or stay in annexes of their allotted hostels.
Faculty: Faculty members of arts include departments like psychology, English Linguistics, etc., which offer a good curriculum and they also offer a good environment and well-qualified professors to learn from. Furthermore, the exams conducted by the department are quite well-organized and in a systematic manner with no scope of any kind of cheating.
