One of the most renowned institutes of our country .
Placements: I will have completed my Masters in Physics from Aligarh Muslim University in 2024. About 10% of a batch of 50 Student were placed. The package was in the range of 4-6 LPA. The top recruiters were coaching centres like Aakash, Physics Wallah and Bansal. About 10% of the students got the internship, which included paid internships in different countries such as Taiwan and China. Masters in Physics opened multiple opportunities for the students to pursue their careers in different fields, such as research work, teaching professions and engineering.
Infrastructure: Aligarh Muslim University is one of the best and most prestigious institutes of India and it offers the best facilities for it's students. The hostels were huge, the infrastructure was extremely beautiful and the whole campus had Wi-Fi. The food had multiple options, including vegetarian and non-vegetarian, as preferred by the students. The Department of Physics had separate labs for each year of students, along with multiple other specialization labs such as the condensed physics lab, the nuclear lab, the physics lab, and the spectroscopy lab and each one of them had the best equipment that you will ever find in all of Asia. AMU has one of the biggest Asian libraries named Maulana Azad Library. It is a seven-story library with multiple reading rooms and research sections continuing more than 14 lac books. Along with this, each department has its own seminar library with a large number of books where students can sit and study without much disturbance.
Faculty: The teachers are extremely helpful to every student. All of them are extremely brilliant and have even worked with Nobel laureates. The relevance depends on your requirements as a student. It might not be the best course if you are looking to get the most job opportunities that one might get in professional courses like engineering and BCA. The semester exams are not difficult per se but they do require the students to be fairly regular and dedicated to their studies. The minimum passing marks are 34 out of 100 for each subject.
Other: Since an early age, I have had a great interest in physics, which led me to choose this course as I had a desire to pursue a career in research. This course gives you opportunities to do research in various fields of physics and even provides opportunities to study at some of the most reputed institutions all over the world. The academic year is filled with festivals and events, with the cultural education club being the sole organizer of these events. In addition to that, each hall of residence has its own festival every year and students from all around the campus can participate in the events and win prizes.

Review of Aligarh Muslim University.
Placements: This course provided many internships in different companies outside Aligarh, like Delhi, Mumbai, etc. In my first year, two or three students were doing internships. Around 60% of students got internships in M.Sc Physics. They were offered different roles.
Infrastructure: Infrastructure of physics department is quite good and peaceful. They provided large classrooms, a separate room for girls, 3 to 4 grounds to sit on, a seminar library and labs in which all equipment is available. I do not know about the hostel structure as I am a day scholar.
Faculty: Teachers in physics department are very knowledgeable and senior. They provided a high quality of teaching. Physics can open many fields for students, like teaching, physicians, etc. Semester exams are difficult because physics is a hard subject. Pass percentage is 34%.
Other: I chose this course because I recently graduated from B.Sc Physics. That is why I have left with this option only. The best thing about this course is that it only has labs and practicals. There is nothing to improve. Many events are held on campus and scholarship programmes are available there for needy students.
