Best choice for holistic education.

Placements: Not many students are placed as they are humanities graduates and mostly go for Masters, but a fair share of NGOs come for placements. Master’s students get placed in the education and development sectors better compared to undergraduates. Many opt for internships as well.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure is excellent, with good classrooms and labs. The university library has numerous resources, both offline and online. The playground and indoor stadium are great and are full of students all the time. Hostels are also great, with pantry rooms and recreational areas.

Faculty: I would say Azim has one of the best faculties in India. They are all Ph.D. scholars who have also worked in foreign universities. The curriculum is holistic, focusing on many aspects of learning. It is different from other universities as they do not emphasize competitive exam curricula but provide a good learning experience.

Other: There are many academic and non-academic clubs. Numerous events and workshops happen on campus all the time. A yearly college fest is also organized at the end of the academic year.

I am astonished by the diversity of the student community and the enthusiasm of faculty members.

Placements: Our university has a placement cell that guides students and allows them to explore various possibilities in the work sector, especially in the social sector. More than 200 organisations recruit students from APU and around 90% of students work in the social sector.

Infrastructure: Students have five academic blocks on campus, two seminar halls, and a library. Students also have two external hostels and an internal hostel on campus. Wi-Fi is accessible on campus and laboratories are also available. Our campus shows tremendous interest to support sports and a huge ground is provided. Frisbee is one of the most popular sports on our campus. In terms of food, students have a menu that is inclusive of both south and north Indian varieties. A first aid medical room is also available to deal with medical emergencies.

Faculty: Faculty members at APU are qualified and dedicated. They are very much approachable and students can reach out to them in case of any queries. Since students follow a liberal arts system of education, certain courses are common irrespective of one's major which I find interesting. In terms of assessment, students follow continuous evaluation.

Other: The community is diverse at this university. We have students all over India and each student's knowledge is diverse and fosters the same. Students are free to organise any event on campus.

Really good faculty, good environment, best place for fun and learn.

Placements: Being a new university with very limited students(350), it is providing many external internships opportunities. I don't have any idea about the placements as our batch gets the first degree from this college, this year. Carrer planning and future courses is a spectrum, which is going well for the 3rd-year students.

Infrastructure: Everything is fine from hostel rooms to the classrooms. The classrooms have good infrastructure and space to work. The library is open 24/7. We have a computer lab, the speed of the Wi-Fi is reasonable. Food seems to be average sometimes, but the canteen is open until 11 pm. There are no issues related to the infrastructure, and we get the fast responses if any.

Faculty: The best thing is we address every faculty and staff member with their first name or in the way they would like to be called. They are very friendly, in and out of the class. The curriculum is very different from others, continuous assessment is the pattern. Stress-free education and there is only 3-hour class for each course in a week. For example, I have 5 courses, I will be attending 2 slots of 1 and 1/2 classes for each course in a week which literally means I attend 15 hours of classes in a week. The class participation and interaction is something which is considered to be very important.

Other: This is the best place to have fun with education and learn in a way that you want to. We have a course called understanding India for 5 semesters which is very useful and develops our view of India. First-year seminar and advanced writing courses focus on critical reading and writing. Many other activities, clubs, forums, and talks contribute to the overall development.

A treat to students who want to enjoy college life and achieve something in their interested field.

Placements: Around 90% of students have been placed in my college, and their salary packages are pretty high. I don't think I can disclose that information. Around 80% of students get internships from various companies. The jobs offered in my course include content writing, assistant professors, etc.

Infrastructure: My campus has the best hostel in India and a 40-storey building with two canteens: one right in front of the hostel so that students can eat whenever they want to, and the other near our class buildings so that we don't have to miss classes. The quality of food is also great.

Faculty: The teachers are all degree holders and have around 8 years of experience in the teaching field. The course is definitely relevant as it prepares us for the next phase of our lives, whatever it is that we are aiming for. The semester exams are pretty easygoing, and failing is the hardest part.

Other: The college also organizes Unmukt, an event where students share their talents and get a chance to stand out and make themselves proud.
