I am pursuing a B Arch course at AMU, and right now am in 2nd year. Education-wise the university is suitable for studying architecture course. It is expensive for the middle-class family to confess about fee structure, but according to the infrastructure and facilities, it is worth paying it. The campus is enormous, and it is well furnished with modern amenities. Hostel accommodation is excellent, and almost all the facilities are available, and there is a mess, and the food is not bad. AMU Placement scenario is pretty good, and the placement cell arranges workshops, seminars, and other industry-relevant activities to enhance industry exposure.
