Aligarh Muslim University (AMU) offers a comprehensive educational experience with around 35 teachers for 400-500 students, leading to a teacher-student ratio of about 1:15. Classes occur six times a week in modern, smart classrooms. The faculty, a blend of seasoned professors and supportive staff, is approachable and committed to enhancing students' academic growth despite some variability in teaching quality. The course includes two sessional exams (30 marks each) and a final exam (70 marks per subject), with strict adherence to examination protocols. AMU's placement opportunities are particularly strong for engineering students at Zakir Hussain Engineering College, boasting an average package of 3.5 lakh per annum, with the highest reaching 28 lakh. About 70% of students secure placements, starting from the 6th semester, with companies like Wipro, Amazon, and Microsoft frequently recruiting. B.Sc. courses see fewer placements, but many students pursue further studies at prestigious institutions. Internships in engineering and medical fields offer stipends from 10,000 to 80,000 INR monthly, with employers like Byjus and ONGC. As a central university, AMU offers affordable tuition, with annual fees ranging from Rs. 4,000 to Rs. 13,750, depending on the course. Hostel and dining add Rs. 2,000 to Rs. 3,000 to yearly costs. A Bachelor of Science program totals about Rs. 20,000 to Rs. 25,000 over four years. AMU provides various scholarships for economically weaker students, including the Dallas Fort and Sultan Jahan Scholarships, and others from state and central sources. Scholarships, ranging from Rs. 5,000 to Rs. 50,000, are also available through alumni associations in the USA and Saudi Arabia, though they are competitive and often prioritized for students below the poverty line.
