Prospective of MBA with me!

Infrastructure: The classrooms are well-structured and furnished, with projectors, microphones, good lighting, and ample space. The university provides Wi-Fi throughout the campus for registered students. Hostel facilities are average but very affordable, ranging from 3,000-5,000 per year for accommodation. Dining charges are around 1,500-1,800 per month. The hostel food is average, but considering the affordable price, it is a reasonable option.

Review of Aligarh Muslim University .

Infrastructure: Hostels are free with proper free Wi-Fi facilities all over the campus and have a separate place for complaints if any need arises. They used to maintain hygiene in hostels properly. Food is moderate, but the cost of food is like 15 rupees a day that contains breakfast, lunch, and dinner. They provide proper labs for experiments and proper instruments for the practical and lab.

Beauty of Aligarh Muslim University.

Infrastructure: My university has the best infrastructure because it was made in 1875, and the structure is based on the structure of the England University. All the hostels have their own history, and all the hostels are named after freedom fighters or people involved in making the university.

Infrastructure: The hostels are good with three-sitter rooms, and the hostel facility is nice with canteens. If we talk about the course, the B.A. LL.B. course is based on the judiciary.

The culture of AMU is really good and Aligarh is the city of Tehzeeb .

Infrastructure: AMU provides plenty of areas for developing abilities and exploring new ones, such as football, volleyball, skating, and tennis playgrounds. There are well-furnished laboratories, including science, engineering, technology, and computer labs. There is also a nicely curated auditorium and ATMs for banking facilities.

You can choose this college after IITs and NITs without any hesitation.

Infrastructure: AMU is well known for its infrastructure, as it has many old and vintage buildings of Britishers that look amazing. Almost every building has university-free Wi-Fi and colleges have ACs. Faculty is very qualified and helpful. Food provided is average according to money. All sports are played in universities, even though they have a horseback riding club and swimming pool.
