Kaushikidg14's Review on Amity University, [AU] Kolkata

Unfortunately, I haven't had the opportunity to do an internship from the college yet. From what I've heard from previous batches and seniors, the placements and internships are excellent. 

There are currently 2 hostels in the premises, one for boys and the other for girls. The hostels are in good and working condition with most of the amenities that the college promises. The hostel fee is 1 lakh per annum with food and security not included. 

There are other accommodation options outside of college that are affordable and safe for young students. Since the area that the college is situated in is mostly occupied by young working professionals or students, accommodation is easier and cheaper to find. Per month, expenses on rent would range from 15-20 thousand.

The admission process for the course that I'm currently pursuing, that is Bachelor of Arts (Journalism and Mass Communication), was quite straightforward. The eligibility criteria for this particular course is a decent enough score in the board examination taken by the student at the end of their plus two along with an adequate performance in the entrance exam that the college conducts. There aren't any typical cutoffs mentioned in the college application portal or otherwise, a reasonable and satisfactory performance and overall profile will be helpful.

The college daily starts at 9:15 in the morning. Classes usually do not extend to more than 6 pm in the evening. There are sufficient breaks in between classes with a permanent lunch break for the entire college from 12:50-13:50.

Projects and assignments are frequently assigned to test the students' capability and keep them engaged and interested in the curriculum, while also assessing them. Exams are conducted at the end of the semester in an orderly fashion.
