Amity University B.A Review By Himanshi Rathi

The overall review for the language department of Amity University, Jaipur that is ASL (Amity School of Languages) would be positive. The campus is situated amongst the Aravali ranges of Rajasthan, a beautiful sight to hold and the university itself is so beautiful. The university is considered amongst one of the best private universities of Rajasthan. It has been accredited a rank A by NAAC. The admission process to take admission at the college is really very easy. You just have to fill up an online form, and then you are informed through mail when the entrance exam and the interview are to take place. Then you receive your admission letter through post if you are selected.

Amity University Jaipur takes special care of the academics of the students. The course is designed well for the students so that they cover the most in the timeline of three years and gain the knowledge which is required in the practical field. Along with the major degree the university provides you with a minor degree which can be chosen by the students themselves after the admission and there is a vast choice in that for students. In this the students can choose amongst the courses from journalism, psychology, architecture, law, etc., which suits best. There is also a compulsion for students to choose one foreign language which they are going to study for the next three years along with their major course. And there are also some value added courses for example communication skills, behavioral science etc. All these things provide the students with overall development.

The faculties in the whole university are excellent and friendly. And especially the teachers in my department were very friendly they supported the students with all the things from motivating us to do some or the other internship along with the academics to scolding us to attend classes regularly. All the teachers at amity are a minimum with a PhD degree which counts for their knowledge with the subject they are teaching. The department has teachers with different expertise and they taught subjects according to their expertise. Lectures were held regularly which kept our link with the academics and our faculties on a regular basis. There is a compulsion of 75% attendance at the university which is a positive point according to me as somehow it makes it a compulsion for you to go regularly at the college and somehow helps in ones overall development.

Amity University Jaipur placement cell is very active throughout the year. They contact different companies whole year and somehow bring those companies for student placement at the end of the year. We were prepared thoroughly for our interviews with the companies by our faculties themselves and some mock interviews were also conducted by the placement cell along with our faculties to boost our confidence. The companies like Amazon, Infosys, Bosch, Zee News, Zomato, Wipro, Dyson, Aurobindo etc. came for student placement at the campus. And at that time of the interview the placement cell supports and motivates the students to sit for the placement. Even the starting packages provided by the companies were really very good for a fresher in the industry.

The university has an in-campus facility of hostel for the students. Amity University Jaipur hostels are really very good as compared to other hostels. Though there are rules and regulations in the hostel but they are not that strict. There are AC and non-AC rooms as per the student requirement of the rooms. If you are hosteller at the university you get to enjoy more perks like you get to join certain groups at the college itself according to your hobbies; there are certain activities like sports, dancing, singing, acting and one more very interesting activity that is available that is nukkad natak. The students can join as they like. There is mess providing with mouth-watering food along with some cafeterias providing the students with many food options. There is a grocery store in campus for students and teachers along with a juice center providing with fresh juices.

The infrastructure of the university is well maintained and well known all over the world. The campus is situated in the midst of the Aravali ranges of Rajasthan and is spread over 152 acres of land. There are certain different buildings denoted to certain different faculties of courses. For example Block A is administration block along with the business school. There is a different block for the hospitality department, and similar for other faculties. The campus has an in-campus gym for the hostellers, many outdoor games like football, basketball, badminton, etc. are available in the campus. If we talk about the language department itself; there is a language lab for the students to learn the foreign language through software which provides you with the practical approach for the students.

Amity University Jaipur campus experience for the day scholars and the hostellers at the university are a bit different. The day scholars get to stay at the college till 5 and till then there are certain rules in the campus which are to be followed like you cannot step into the grass and there is a strict security check at the entrance gate of the campus which is a plus point for the students. For hostellers the campus experience can be called unique in itself as the campus is much more live in the evening, all the students are busy in one or the other group activities which go on in the campus. There are different fests which are organized in the campus throughout the year like Sangathan (sports event of the college), Amity Leadership Fest (in this certain colleges from Rajasthan come to participate), then comes the festival of ASL department Bhashayog and many more. So it can be said that it a different and unique experience for students at Amity University Jaipur.
