Amity University BFA Review By Divyanshi Roy

I heard a lot about Amity University Uttar Pradesh including their excellent faculty, great beautiful campus and placement packages. Since private colleges don't have many reservations and more number of seats, it's way easier to get admission there. The faculty is great and the professors do not exercise too much strictness and are understanding and knowledgeable.

I love painting and I had decided at an early age to study further in this field. After I learned about the program, I researched more about field and got to know of the subjects. This course has variety of subjects like painting, sculpting, printmaking that come under Classical Art and subjects such as visual graphics, advertisement theory, typography, illustration that come under Applied Arts. Applied Arts unlike Painting Honors provide job security as it is commercial. Companies hire artists for package designing, advertisement making, etc. I feel like they also start teaching about the outside trends and meanings and references behind them rather than just telling what is to be done. Exams in my personal experience are not a very stressful task, we always know what to do when we read the question and there's little to no space for confusion. We have projects, home assignments, viva and at last the end semester exams. The timings are balanced.

The faculty is good and highly approachable. They do not exercise extreme strictness and liberal with the submission of assignments so that students can perform their best in the proper amount of time that is provided. Students who have less than 75% of attendance in a subject, they are debarred from appearing in the exam of that particular subject. For students who have missed classes of most of the subjects have to appear for back paper. Chances of failure after attempting the paper is quite less unless it's filled with junk or left blank. The assignments are given in accordance to the current scenario of trend & demand in the field in the outside world.

The campus has overall 11 blocks with subdivisions. The buildings are quite spacious. A large beautiful campus can be seen when walking through the pathway inside the university. Classrooms have good and sufficient amount of light and fans along with AC. The inside of the blocks are also provided with ACs. The university has a tidy and well maintained library with a great collection of books from all genres. A library card is issued and the library can be accessed with the ID card only. A huge football court, basketball and badminton court along with a gym is provided.

Festivals such as Diwali, Holi, Pongal, Onam, Navratri, Independence Day, Republic Day and others are celebrated in the H block of the campus. Most of the functions are held after August along with departmental and university Freshers, when newcomers join in. The Sangathan is an organization under the university that encourages students to participate in sports, gymnastics, yoga etc and often holds events for the same. Institutional clubs such as cultural and quiz clubs are provided in my course align with domain clubs such as textile and fashion clubs.
