M.Sc. in Zoology - Batch of 2024

4.0

Absolutely satisfied with my academic work but disappointed with the placement options.

Placements: Compared to other departments, placements are lower in the Zoology department. In AMU, the TPO (Training and Placement Office) is well-functioning, but more chances are for professional course students. But still, many used to get placements in tutoring jobs in many education schemes. The students who got placements from our course will be less than 20% because it's more focused on further research fields to get the benefits of the course.

Infrastructure: In the Zoology Department, the lab facilities are at a good level with advanced equipment and instrument technologies. Wi-Fi is accessible for all enrolled students and faculty members without any restriction and it's completely unlimited. There are a number of hostels on campus and my hostel has good facilities and a very cheap fee. Only INR 1500 monthly for the mess fee and no extra fees is there. 24 hours of free medical services for students from JNMC The library is accessible for students but it's restricted after 6:30 for hostel girls due to outing schedules.

Faculty: Highly potential and internationally renowned professors are the most highlighting thing about AMU academics. The majority of the teachers are friendly and approachable for any inquiries or other curricular purposes. In the context of the Zoology department, we should say that the course syllabus is worthy of cracking the CSIR NET exam. Many students from our department used to crack competitive exams without spending years preparing. Placements can't be said to be that reliable for Zoology students here but yes, there are some high chances provided by TPO (Training and Placement Office, AMU). The semester exams are of average level, which can be passed by regular average students.

Other: AMU used to conduct many academic and cultural programmes. But we should say that AMU gives more priority to academic events and programmes than cultural ones. So for a student who has a passion for cultural activities and aims to improve their arts skills, AMU may not be an option. AMU is the best option for those who wish for scholarship funds. The campus surrounding it is keeping its natural aesthetic and beauty and I can't see any crowding. Sir Syed Day is the most famous celebration here, which is known as Eid of Aligs. Amu is good at conducting workshops, seminars and conferences in most of the departments.
