A few years back, a friend of mine was in a position to choose between lower-ranked NITs and AMU. He chose the latter and based on his experience, he swears by that decision. He later went on to do this postgraduate from NIT Warangal. 

Here is his take on AMU and NITs. 

  • ZHCET or AMU is far better than 20 out of 33 NIT’s in India in every domain ranging from placements, internships to faculty, academics, etc. but is behind the top 11 NIT’s of India.
  • Comparing AMU with NITs is quite a large scale. If we compare AMU with one of the top NITs, i.e, NIT Warangal, the infrastructure, library, academics, faculty all are the same but when it comes to placements, NIT Warangal has way better placements. 

However, not all NITs have a better placement record than AMU. The bottom-most NIT’s according to placements and academics are as follows.

NIT Sikkim < NIT Mizoram < NIT Manipur < NIT Arunachal Pradesh < NIT Nagaland < NIT Meghalaya < NIT Andhra Pradesh < NIT Puducherry < NIT Uttarakhand < NIT Goa < NIT Delhi

Where NIT Meghalaya and NIT Andhra Pradesh(NIT Tadepalligudem) lack in campus also.

BHU and AMU are sister concerns. Both institutes carry forward the same legacy so I don’t think they are comparable. 

People usually want to believe that these biased universities will divide Hindus and Muslims and worsen their relations. But that’s not the case.

Both universities are loyal to their cause- Education. 

As an AMU student, my sister loves her university. She has never visited BHU but she is sure BHU students love their university equally as well. 

So I don’t think the two universities stand a chance of comparison when they both are equally good.

My friend studied at IIEST Shibpur but it was a long time ago. The quality of pedagogy back then was good, however now one can't say much of it. Also personally, CS does not have the best faculty in AMU.

If you wish to compare the state of teaching in the institutions, just log in to the official website and go through the qualifications of the faculty members. Check both the academic achievements of the faculty in general, as well as that of the departments.

If you live near Shibpur then it'll be easier to commute, however, if you live far away then you can choose AMU. You must note that IIEST Shibpur's IT department might have to shut down and you may regret your decision during placements.

As per the AMU admission trends of the last few years, around 300-350 ranks in the Chance memo list get cleared. You may wait until the 3rd chance memo list. But there’s no way to know whether you will get in or not. It entirely depends on the no of vacant seats.

Yes, Aligarh Muslim University is way better than private universities such as VIT, SRM, Manipal, and Thapar for B.Tech. AMU is a central university and is widely recognized. Many times students prefer AMU prefer NITs. 

It has international-level infrastructure and a great faculty base. Many professors from CS and Electronics branches are past employees of top MNCs like Microsoft, CISCO, etc. The placements are pretty good for B.Tech. AMU B.Tech placements 2021 had an average CTC of INR 5.62 LPA. 

The industrial exposure is less compared to the other institutes. But as AMU is located in the vicinity of NCR, the location advantage makes up for it.

Aligarh Muslim University or AMU is well known for its friendly environment. This campus provides a luxurious life at low fees. AMU is a prestigious institution in which everybody wants to get admission. Based on the experiences of different students, here are some pros and cons of AMU:-

For freshers who want to build their career at AMU, the pros are as follows:-

  • Maulana Azad Library - This place will make you fall in love with various types of books. This library will embrace and bless you with tons of knowledge.
  • Hostel etiquettes are being maintained rigorously. The seniors are very much friendly and cooperative. The concept of ragging is severely prohibited in AMU.
  • It would be best if you made friends by using your brain. It will take time, but you should quickly adapt as fast as possible. You should make friends who know how the university works.
  • It would be best if you explored different types of clubs for which the university is famous. The clubs are filled with remarkable personalities, which will ease your mind.
  • Attach yourself with a student organization that helps you to enhance your skills. Always choose wisely that will help you to build your life afterward.
  • It would be best if you always interact, which will help to build bonds, among others.
  • The seniors are always cooperative and willing to help. You should go and talk to them and seek their help.

In general, the helpful tips for the freshers before starting at AMU are :

  • It would be best if you always concentrated on your studies. The campus library should be your second home.
  • Maintain the least attendance of 75%. Most of the students get stopped for not meeting the criteria.
  • You should avoid and stay away from student politics. AMU is a hub of many politics, so you should avoid it. If you indulge in those, then it will ruin your career.
  • Be gentle and calm. Respect your teachers and greet your seniors whenever you see them. This tradition is one of the oldest and most important of AMU.
  • Attend class regularly, and if any doubts clarify them from your teachers. The teachers of AMU are very much qualified and helpful.
  • AMU provides excellent hostel facilities. It is considered as the largest residential university in Asia.
  • You should issue your library card and books as early as possible. If you are late, then there is a chance that you will not get your books.
