Is IIM Ahmedabad better than Aligarh Muslim University?

SK
Saikat Kundu Posted On : February 15th, 2021
IIT BHU (2019)

Both the colleges have their own reputation. My father is an alumnus of IIM Ahmedabad while one of my brothers is pursuing Law from Aligarh Muslim University. Being a part of two prestigious colleges like IIM Ahmedabad and AMU, when they sit together and discuss something be it Law, ongoing cases, or any other matter, they both have a very different perspective.

My father gives proficient suggestions in legal fields as well. He being an IIMian, believes in talking systematically. He is very patient in carving out solutions to every problem. He used to tell me the time of his MBA at IIM Ahmedabad. During his days of MBA, people were not very crazy about pursuing an MBA. But in his opinion doing MBA is the best opportunity to be a part of an institute like IIM Ahmedabad.

Comparison: (Winning Institution - IIM Ahmedabad)

  • Every college which is said to be one of the most reputed colleges may not provide the best in all the courses. In the same way, pursuing MBA from Aligarh Muslim University cannot be a good decision. AMU is best for many other courses but it’s a “Big No” for MBA. 
  • If you are capable enough, then you must prepare to crack CAT and be a part of IIM Ahmedabad. MBA from IIM – A is a way better choice. The college has been producing better placement results for many years. They develop your management skills and prospers to bring out the best management skills in yourself. 

The table below gives a brief comparison of the two institutes.

Particulars

IIM A

Aligarh Muslim University

Average CTC

INR 25-30 LPA

INR 6 LPA

Highest CTC

INR 74.62 LPA

INR 10 LPA

Ranking for MBA

1st by NIRF’20

45th by NIRF’20

If you are really devoted enough, you will definitely find IIM-A a great place to learn and grow.

Which is better, IIEST Shibpur IT or AMU CS?

NG
Neha Gupta Posted On : July 19th, 2021
B.Tech from Indian Institute of Engineering Science and Technology, Shibpur (2019)

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.

Is Aligarh Muslim University good enough for a B.Tech, compared to private universities like VIT, SRM, Manipal and Thapar?

Dhrishti Tuli Posted On : February 6th, 2024

AMU is better than VIT, SRM, Manipal and Thapar in many respects. AMU offers top notch facilities like these private colleges, but its fees are way less in comparison. 

Here are the goods and bads of joining AMU-

  1. AMU has very good placements for CS, Electronics and Electrical branches. 
  2. The cost of study and hostels is extremely pocket friendly. 
  3. The campus is great and very safe for girls.
  4. The faculty and infrastructure are both top notch. The CS and Electronics teachers have worked in the past for MNCs like Cisco and Microsoft.
  5. The library and book banks allow easy access to books for those who suffer from financial difficulties.
  6. The core branches (civil, mechanical and chemical) do not get core placement offers on campus. But one who knows his/her subjects well and has a good CPI, can easily acquire a good core job off campus. Core branches usually receive software related jobs offers during campus placements. 
  7. Some freshers might feel a cultural shock at AMU, but they’ll eventually adapt to their new environment. 

Aligarh Muslim University is a more reputable brand in comparison to private colleges, and its education is much more affordable. You must work hard and get a good rank to get admission into AMU.

A
Admin Posted On : February 3rd, 2024

As your senior at AMU, here are some important tips from my side-

  1. Make clear goals and targets for yourself, and work hard to achieve them.
  2. Listen to the opinions of others, but do what feels right to you.
  3. Join clubs and societies while at AMU, and develop useful hobbies and skills.
  4. Do not let other people decide for you.
  5. Explore the world outside of AMU as well.
  6. Don’t spend your entire life on the AMU campus. Choose some other college/university (preferably in some other city or state) for your higher studies. This will give you lots of exposure. 
  7. Set your boundaries and be vocal about them. 
  8. Make friends. 
  9. Commit mistakes, learn from them, and move on.
  10. Plan trips and travel as much as possible.

This is the best time to become self-sufficient and independent. Make the most of your stay at this university, and be sure to use your time wisely.

In terms of academics, AMU is better. Being a central University, it offers better facilities and resources. It also has a locational advantage. Due to the proximity to Delhi NCR, it's easier to get placement opportunities, internships, and projects. AMU placements have been great for B.Tech.

AB
Akriti Banerjee Posted On : August 23rd, 2023
lives in New Delhi

All three universities - Jamia Millia Islamia, Banaras Hindu University, and Aligarh Muslim University - have reputed law faculties and offer Bachelor of Arts (BA) and Bachelor of Legislative Law (LLB) programs. However, the best choice for you would depend on various factors such as location, fees, curriculum, campus infrastructure, and faculty.

  • Ranking : Based on NIRF Ranking, JMU is the best among the 3 options. JMU Law was ranked 5 out of 30 in India 2023 by NIRF MBA. 
  • Location : Jamia is situated in Delhi, the capital of India. The students are exposed to more opportunities in terms of internships and coaching. AMU and BHU don’t offer much exposure because of their poor location.
  • Academics and Campus life: Jamia has a more dynamic and vibrant campus life with a better academic experience.

Overall, Jamia should be your first preference if you want to pursue courses like Mass Communication, Law, or Architecture
