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.
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.
