University focuses on empowering rural students.
Placements: I am a 2023 batch student in B.A. in social science program at APU. The highest package is 9 LPA while the average salary is from 5 LPA - 6 LPA. Top recruiters are well-famous platforms like tech for India, etc. Also, internship opportunities at the university are a lot. Internships are provided either by the university itself or by collaborated NGOs and research platforms. The university has a good placement area but the chances are mostly given to post-graduate students rather than UG students.
Infrastructure: Campus is very good and full of greenery while the classrooms are full of technology including smart boards, Wi-Fi connections, and availability of laptops. The library is huge with more than 1 lakh resources. University has 40 floors of residences for students, seminar halls, and a mess where they provide nutritious food. There are medical rooms, well well-structured club system, and sports facilities that feels like home.
Faculty: Faculty members at the university are very helpful and with very good knowledge in their field. The learning at the university is student-centered. The curriculum is developed by our own professors. The curriculum focuses on the students' interests and needs. Whether it is social science or other programs along with lectures at universities. They have very interesting ways of teaching where we have field work, internships, and engaging classes full of presentations and student discussions. Passing the courses is also not tough even with actively attending the classes can lead to high marks.
Other: For me, the university is very helpful, coming from a Hindi background to this university where English is a way for us to go. I am developing on campus, and I am not limited only to the books. I am actually exploring the world through real life-based learning at the university. The thing university can improve is by adding more options in PG courses like M.Sc. which they are actually planning to establish in the upcoming years. Overall, this university is very good for growth and achieving meaningful learning.
