The main reason I ended up choosing Amity University Gurugram was that not a lot of universities were offering Bachelor's of Science in Clinical Psychology. No, I did not have to face any group discussions or written tests for admission; however, I did have a one-on-one conversation with the admissions in charge. There's not much to worry about for the admission process, the people are nice, and it ends up being a fun experience.
If you end up attending this University for Clinical Psychology, make sure to be on the faculties good side. Other than that, the course curriculum is nice; we get to learn a lot of new things per semester. The reason I ended up choosing this course was because, I often found myself being the safe place for most of my peers, and I like to listen, analyze and help people solve or comprehend the problem they might be having at the moment, so I thought that was interesting and maybe I could help more people, people who are strangers to me. Most of out professors are PhDs, all of them have a unique approach when it comes to teaching styles, some of them like to perform experiments, for example for social psychology we did a social experiment all over the campus, some of them like to teach the ancient way and most of them like to have a proper discussion with the entire class rather than teach so that we learn from each other.
Yes, I have done a total of 3 internships for a month each. The internships I did were under an NGO, clinical psychologists, and psychiatrists. The internships were not paid. One of the internships was back in Nagaland. I had an amazing experience under the psychiatrist and got to learn a lot of new and interesting problems that the patients were facing, the truth in their voices as to how desperately they wanted to be done with their addiction.
A lot of companies came for the placement drive, including companies like Swiggy. The students need to be in their final year to apply for the job opportunities; no specific requirements for UG students. The highest package offered is 12 LPA, and the average is 4 LPA. I might end up sitting for more interviews, take a gap year or go abroad after getting my degree.
The admission fee for BSc in Clinical Psychology is 80,000. The students of BSc Clinical Psychology need to pay a semester fee of almost Rs. 65,000 per semester. Per year, an average student is to pay a total sum of approximately Rs. 1,30,000. In the case of an overachieving student, on account of 100% scholarships, the student will have to pay a total sum of Rs. 10,000 per year. Scholarships are merit-based, and the categories are 100%, 90%, and 80%. The students get a certain discount for each category of scholarship. If the student chooses to live in the campus hostel, the hostel fee per year goes up to Rs. 1,20,000 for air-conditioned hostel rooms and Rs. 80,000 for non-airconditioned rooms. If the student chooses the university transport (bus), there are different routes, and the prices differ for every route. For example, the route from Gurugram to the university is Rs. 55,000.
Campus life is interesting. The fest at Amity Univeristy is called Amifest, it is generally held in February. A new fest was introduced during my 5th semester called the Autmn Fest. It was held in late September to early October. Almost all sorts of books are available in the library. The classrooms are always well-lit, have a lot of fans, and are properly air-conditioned. The annual sports competition, called Sangathan, is held every September. It is an inter-Amity competition. We have a proper tennis court, an indoor badminton court, a basketball court, a football ground, a volleyball court, and a proper cricket pitch. There are a lot of clubs in the university. There are music societies, dance crews, social welfare clubs, dramatic societies, etc.
Hostel is fun, but make sure you have good company and you are good to be around. There are about 10 outlets on the campus that one can eat from, the food has improved a lot. Almost all the outlets provide a monthly subscription; all a student has to do is talk to the incharge of that particular outlet. I now rent an apartment about 30 minutes away from the university, but if a student wants to live near the university, there are a lot of PGs in the locality, safe for both males and females.
The Career Development Centre (CDC) plays an important role in preparing students for internships and future placements. The CDC conducts career guidance sessions, skill development workshops, resume-building activities, aptitude training, and interview preparation programs to improve students' employability. One initiative that I personally found beneficial was the Internship Fair organized by the university. It provided students with an opportunity to interact with different organizations and apply for summer internships, helping us gain practical industry exposure before entering the final placement season. Such initiatives allow students to build professional experience and develop workplace skills at an early stage.
The employability is very good and placements are also very good trainers and campus placement cell is highly supportive and companies are arrives regularly on every year basis and growth prospects are very good for the students
All the Management persons and all Faculties and Heads and Working persons , even the Housekeeping and our Seniors all are very cooperative and helping and have a humble and polite nature. And I really appreciate them all and very thankful to all of them.
KRMU provides placement assistance through its Training and placement cell, which conducts aptitude training, mock interview, resume building sessions and skill development session to improve students employability. Student become eligible for campus placement in the final year subject meeting the criteria of the individual company. Eligible criteria include maintaining the CGPA, having limited or no active backlog, and fulfilling company specific criteria.
Placements are decent for skilled students with eligibility usually starting in the final year . Companies like TCS , Infosys ,BHEL visit the campus . The average package is around 4-6b LPA . After completing my B-tech degree , I plan to pursue a career in software development
Aroun 6.5-8 cgpa should be maintained to avail for placement. No backlogs. Respect teachers. Fee visited recruiters were ICICI ey pwc etc highest packaging where I heard about was 56LPA and average was around 9-12LPA.
