A Part from My Life – AMITY

After a long long discussion with my parents.. it was finally amity and now I think I made the right choice at that time.

I still remember my first day in amity. I was actually looking for the ragging stuff that I thought would be a part in my college life experience, but unfortunately not. The day went on with a few boring classes and X batch Y batch drama. It took me almost a week to understand the whole system of classes and again the X Y drama.

I was mixed in the group of almost 60 students. It was hard to find a friend so soon because each day I meet a new fellow and the previous one suddenly get disappeared the very next day. But till the end of semester, I knew everyone in class.

Life passed in Amity in no time, just because we were made busy with the assignment stuff’s and taken for granted projects.

Apart from the studies, the projects, the assignments and the presentations became a usual routine which have helped in boosting our confidence levels. The value added courses sometimes makes my mood a little irritated but they too have proved to be an integral part of our lives.

At last I can see the change which developed in myself during this period of time. I become frank, an opportunity utilizer, and understood my potential very well. Amity has been a major part of my life and will remain so in the future always.

AS AMITIAN OF AGE 4…..

           Almost 4 years has been passed from the day I entered into this universe of amity, I was here to learn about my actual interest . So,I choosed to do my technical degree in field of automobile engineering and that too in a combined dual degree course,of which very few were aware in general at that time, but to save a year I opted for that.  During the time of admission ,the thing which is normal to came in every fresher’s mind is that now this is going to be the world in which I can live the way I want to,my college life was about to start . But as times passes…..i realized that it’s not that easy , many considerations have to be taken if someone wants that he or she always remain on the right track, and similar happened with me , I started recognizing and learning the changes in life in that universe from the day one , from the registration of the first semester  till this day and still learning…..

            I got into the batch called Mae4 and I use to be very interactive with everyone in the class and due to this few of my classmates had made perceptions that he wants to be the representative of the class that’s why he is interacting much with us, so I did not opted to be the representative and even I don’t  wanted  to be at that time. But it was unexpected after a year,on the basis of grade points criteria I was choosen as the CR of the class and still justifying the representation.

            All the semesters upto now have been very progressive and every semester created a minor change not even in academics but also in thought processes. There are many experiences to share but the major two are : Industrial visits in pune  at Volkswagen ,Fiat,and ARAI . That whole week of October 2012 will always be remembered by me and my friends who were there with me, truly an unforgettable experience. And another one at IIT Roorkee in October 2013,we were actually there to attend the workshop on reverse engineering but also enjoyed much with our group there…..there also are very special moments.

            Still there is few time left for us in this universe and I hope it will be even better than what it has been upto now……and also for all my batchmates who have made an effort to read this post….ALLTHE BEST TO EVERYONE… !!

The Journey so far....

My college experience started took off from 24^th August 2010 when I made the decision of joining Mechanical and Automation Dept. At Amity University,Noida.  I still remember the 1^st day very clearly , going to a new institution , meeting new people , adapting to the change; to summon it all ,yes i was rather scared than excited. The fact that I am a highly introvert person makes me gel into new environment very difficult. To my dismay as soon as I entered the class, I was greeted very warmly a few students who had registered earlier. On the first day itself I was the member of the back benchers association. To tell in short the back benchers are the most specific elements of the class with certain abilities that can piss off the teachers. I really don’t know how but I was able to make friends with a few people which later with passage of time turned out to great pals.

Since I was from a different place and had no vacancy in the college hostel I was to reside in a outside hostel. I soon got to know a few of my classmates also inhabited the place and had occupied an entire floor. “The mechanist” we used to call it. Classes were fun to start off laughing, cracking jokes, staring at each other when the teacher used to bombard us with heavy “IIT” concepts. The first real incident took place when one of our Chemistry professors took us to the respective HOD for some minor issue the famous back benchers had created , not only did it create a bad image of the entire group including I , but it also started a legacy “Going to the HOD’s cabin” . Every now and then one of us used to be punished in his cabin for some or other wrong doing. Exams came, and exam fever in an engg. College is something to look out. Everybody with books, books with extra large sizes. I was never into studies and cramming up things, so I resorted what every other individual did the last night study. Last night group study with tea , Maggie and snacks to keep one up the night. The method was very effective in a certain subjects but had its perks too. After the exams it was mostly fun , followed by college parties and in the blink of an eye the First year of my college life was over.

Holidays or summer break, everyone was super excited but then will college let you live in peace? The answer to it was a big NO. A summer project was allotted to us and I in particular took up the most simplest of topics. Meeting friends again after the break was fun. The atmosphere filled with gossip. While mostly had enjoyed the break, a few of us did the constructive they took to body building. Now mechanical is associated with lads who are to be tough, rugged and to match this image flaunting your physique is a good option. The second year of my college life introduced us with a few technical subjects and i was blown over. My mind had stopped working, so much to grasp and being a slow poke it’s not easy. Still during the exams i managed to do fairly well. To be honest i was beter than many. The fest season came, with loads of dancers, singers whom i had just seen on the television were standing right in front of me and displaying their varied skills. Its was fun. The second year came to an end and I would sum up as the year of enjoying .
The summer in-house training, A faculty was allotted and one had to do all sorts of things that you know nothing about to please the guide and attain marks; this being the hard core truth. And so I did. The 3^rd year of my studies was filld with mixed emotions. Friends and family issues, this year I discovered that every who talked merry wasn’t your true mate, some fly with the wind. Never the less the best part was yet to arrive. After the final 6^th semester exams the internship. I did my internship at RDSO Lucknow (U.P) It was an amazing experience. So much to learn and inculcate. Having no knowledge about software’s i learned a lot. Associated with senior scientist of Indian Railways and working with them on projects that are helping the nation , a feeling that cant be described.
The final year, finally the senior most at college, the year is marked by fear of placements. While students put in their best to get themselves placed. The final year project,where one has to bring out some innovation the year of all conclusive fun and enjoyment. The year worth remembering, its been a good jolly ride so far and I hope that does end on a good note, Not to mention the best thing happened to me during this phase I got selected for giving ssb at Bhopal for Indian Navy, though i got conference out but the journey through it was worthwhile. It taught me things that no one ever could have, and infused a spirit of nationality yes not to forget to amend yourself and come back , get recommended and be an officer.

" college life "

Many students enter college expecting good times, knowledge, friendships, and a new sense of direction. 
The college student who has children is faced with guilt about not being able to spend time with the children. The children has great demands on time. They need help with their homework, or need dinner and to be tucked in bed at a certain time. The thought of not being able to keep up with the demands of the children is very stressful and can be depressing to both the child and parent. In other words everyone suffers because you are unable to fulfill all the obligations that you have taken on.

Many people seem to believe that college students have it really easy. When I was in high school, I couldn’t wait until I graduated. Everyone always told me that college was so much fun, and it was so much easier than high school. I dreamed of the college life that I would have. I have realized, with this being my first year in college, that the life of a college student is a very difficult challenge. I never imagined just how hard it would be. Dropout rates are increasing everyday, and these problems are not being addressed properly, because previous generations show little sympathy for the struggles of the younger generation today.
College is extremely expensive. This puts a lot of pressure on the students as well as the parents. College costs leave the students in so much debt after they graduate that it will take them a lifetime just to pay it back

The college building is large and imposing, the lawns are a great beauty, the friends are loving and chatty and pofessors models of kindness. Freedom is writ large in and around the college. Opportunities for games, study, adventure and romance are many.

He may study or he may not if he so chooses. Nobody can force him to study against his will. Examinations may or may not be taken. He is now a responsible young man and competent to think for himself. His mettle and his character come out to play their part.

In brief, college life is a significant landmark which a student has to cross in his upward struggle. If a student makes the best use of his life at college and does not fritter it away in idle pursuits, he can rise to any height.

My life at amity

Many people seem to believe that college students have it really easy. When I was in high school, I couldn’t wait until I graduated. Everyone always told me that college was so much fun, and it was so much easier than high school. I dreamed of the college life that I would have. In my first year in college, i realized  that the life of a college student is not that easy as was expected. I never imagined just how hard it would be. Many students enter college expecting good times, knowledge, friendships, and a new sense of direction. They soon find out that college comes with challenges and struggles because of the great demands and expectations that are put on the importance of education. College students experience a great deal of stress, especially when they are trying to balance a full time job. The demands of doing many different things with very little time can become overwhelming.

My first day at the college was very exciting as I just entered the college life after high school as it was a whole new experience. I was overwhelmed with the college infrastructure and facilities it provided.

Many hangout spots were there in the college like the H block where you could see almost the whole college eating , chatting or roaming around. It was a little scary at the first sight of so many strangers around you. Then i gradually started to know the culture and know hows of the college life and got along quite well. Then came the second year where actual stress for the studies came into picture when i got a reality check and got two backs in the 3^rd semester. From that point of time i got serious in the studies and enjoyed side by side without compromising the studies. This made me more responsible.

Then as i entered the third year, i was expecting a whole new year ahead with many more surprises. At this time i was a senior and it just did not feel that way. Then came the 2 months internship which i did in Air India. It was a glimpse of the professional life ahead as i had to enter a whole new world after 2 years. I had a sneek peek the professional culture, the ways of working, people working hard to achieve targets amongst a huge competition among themselves.

Then finally came the fourth year through which i realized about my end of the college life. This started with the final year project for which i was really excited.

Well, i am still left with a year of masters, part of the dual degree, but times will not be same as before.  Those days unfortunately will never come back and i can look back.

UNIQUE EXPERIENCE AT AMITY

First of all I would like to thank Mr. Praveen kumar  for giving me this opportunity. After completing my school, I joined Amity and  I knew the fact that I was unable to crack  some important entrance exams so I opted 5 year Dual  degree programme i.e  Bachelor in mechanical and Master in Automation  as soon days are gone I regret on my decision. First day of my college life I was quite nervous and internally I was super excited . Somehow I was feeling special being part of Amity, being there and living each moment. The first day at Amity will always be a cherished day in my life.

 First year was really  stressing out  because there were numerous number of lectures and teachers were entering the room, followed by   new teacher with another lecture. Although I still had the spark of energy  to have fun in this busy schedule.

Then came the following year, the most special year of my life. Teachers were  very helpful ,I mixed up with my colleagues Then I also started a project of Robotic Hand 2011 with my team members Abhishek,  Soham and Ankur .  It was to my surprise that it turned to be a successful project .

Third year, after having a joyous stay at the military camp, some unexpected events had occurred at the camp, whose outcomes were dire to me. Many of my friends were injured to which we regretted and had protest against it. I had reacted to this in a very sentimental manner. I sprung up to the occasion and protested at the front to which it was considered that the protest was conducted by me. Henceforth I was put to blame for the protest for which I have been suspended for 3 weeks, this was the very unexpected dreadful starting of my new college year. I was in the state of depression, it had made a deep hole in to my life. In order to solve me with this crucial problem  I was guided by the esteemed faculty of Amity. All this had affected my academics, but even though I had coped up with it and manage to score the highest SGPA till 6 semester.

Now, coming to fourth year well it was a year of full on HARDWORK... In this year we all actually realized how to live the life. 
In last , I would say that I have learnt a lot in the last four years, and I am happy to see myself as what I am today.

Four very long years in Amity

Before coming to Amity I always thought that college life is easy and it is fun. College is a place where no one studies. Exam papers get leaked one day before the exam so everyone gets good marks and there is no need to study but just one day before the exam. Everyone gets a chance to go abroad in the students exchange programs. Amity did not cater to any of my needs and did not give me anything what I was expecting. But I am not at all unhappy with my college just because it has given me something that no other college could have given. It has given me strength and has made me strong enough to accept the sad truths in life. Now I am not afraid of any bad experience because the worst I have already had.

One more thing which my college has given me is, my friends and has helped me in finding my interests. I know when I am here I am always going to hate my college but once I am out of my college I will feel strong and happy and will give all the credit to my college. I will be a proud amitian then.

First year of my college, I was living in the hostel. Hostel had so many restrictions that I decided not to take hostel in my next year. Second year I shifted to my home in Delhi. I was living with my family. Things became easy and my health improved because quality of food in the hostel was bad. I used to miss my friends those were there in the hostel, they missed me too. I did not study at all in the first year and had a bad CGPA. Since then I am trying to improve my score. When I shifted to my home I was always reminded by my parents to study and just because of that my score improved but very gradually.

I will also educate parents who want their kids to join amity, and also the students who want to join.  I will make them prepared for the amity experience.

My experience at Amity

It has been almost 4 years since I first started filling up admission forms for different colleges. Didn't I have the slightest of idea back then that I would end up here. 

As I get a chance to go down the memory lane writing down my "experience here at Amity", I would firstly like to thank Mr. Parveen Kumar for giving me this opportunity.

It was my first day as a student at Amity when I decided not to opt for the campus hostel and rather stay outside as a paying guest, a decision I soon started to regret. So, during the first few days of mine at Amity, orientation was on, and among the new people I got acquainted with was my classmate Parag, who made the boring orientation days fun for me and others around. All I can remember from orientation is laughing hysterically on his jokes.

My first year was full of fun and skipping classes, as I had got shortlisted amongst a few other Amity students, for performing yoga at the commonwealth games 2010. I cherished every moment I spent with those other students, who were all seniors. Very soon I realized that it was time I started studying as I had already failed in a couple of first semester subjects. So I took a bold decision and shifted to a flat where I lived alone. At first it wasn't easy to live all alone but soon I got used to it. So the semester passed by without much a do.

Since my second year I am living in the campus hostel where I found my best friends Abisesh, Chetan, Deepashu and others. Since then, I have started studying and paying more attention towards my goal. In my third year I became a member of the SAE club of ASET and this year as a final year project with the team, I am building a formula type race car for a competition. Apart from this, I have also participated in a number of dance competitions here at Amity. 

Lastly, I would say that I have learnt a lot in the last four years, and I am happy to see myself as what I am today.

life at Amity

School life is accepted as the best time of anybody’s life. But it’s the college life that really helps you out in life. At least in my case.

First day. Nervous, scared, excited, extremely happy. There was an ocean of feelings inside me. Reached gate 1 right on time and witnessed what felt like a never ending crowd of students. Just like me I could see the same feelings on everybody’s faces. A lot happened the very first day. Introductions, bridge classes and specially meeting the fellow classmates with whom I was going to spend the next 5 years of my life. Somehow I was feeling special being part of Amity, being there and living each moment. The first day at Amity will always be a memorable day in my life.

Since the first day at Amity, I have seen myself grow as an individual, experienced myself learning a new thing every day. No, I am not talking about learning new things academically, that everyone does. What I learnt at Amity was the way things work out in life. Meeting new people, experiencing the variety of personalities, how formal can a friendship be, how intense can a friendship be. What should be your priorities in life and what should be your responsibilities.

Summing up, there is an endless list of things I learnt, experienced, felt in this phase of my life. Good or bad they might be, I have no regrets what so ever. I love myself for the person I have evolved into today, a big credit for which goes to my life at Amity.

The Memorable Days Of My Life!

College is described as a place where children not only join to complete their course and to get placed in a good company but also to enjoy their life to the fullest. This is the time which people of all age groups cherish a lot. It is the stepping stone which changes a person from being a school kid to a matured individual. During these years people come across different individuals hailing from different diversities, cultures, places etc. These are surely the most memorable days of any person’s life.

After completing my school, I joined Amity. At first I was saddened by the fact that I was unable to crack some entrance exams and also because I had only one college to join for and that too it was Amity University, Noida, which has been famous for very low placements in my course i.e Mechanical Engineering and that the name was associated with things like rich brats, no studies, full enjoyment etc. I opted for a Dual Degree MBA course along with Mechanical Engineering which has time duration of 5 years. It was 27^th of July 2010, my first day at college. Just like any other student, I was a bit nervous because I was going to enter a whole new world full of opportunities, new people etc. But then during my orientation programme I met some people who went on to be my best friend. In due course of 4 years, I have been lucky to have so many friends. I came across some teachers who were really helpful and some who were well the lesser I say the better it would be. I was involved in a lot of interesting projects which helped me gain more and more practical knowledge of my course. These years have been the golden years of my life and I am surely going to cherish them for the rest of my life.

Sweet memories of my college life... :)

College life over!!!!

College Student Life

Many students enter college expecting good times, knowledge, friendships, and a new sense of direction. They soon find out that college comes with challenges and struggles because of the great demands and expectations that are put on the importance of education. College students experience a great deal of stress, especially when they are trying to balance a full time job, raise children, and have a social life. The demands of doing many different things with very little time can become overwhelming.

The daily tasks of working and meeting the demands of job obligation can leave a college student exhausted. There are a limited number of students who work full time jobs and attend college full time. Others, still work late and get up in the wee hours of the morning trying to fit all of the required tasks of school and work into one day. Students often find themselves more exhausted when they are trying to schedule tasks, because there just does not seem to be enough time in one day. Putting in long hours and worrying about class schedules adds stress to a student life.

The college student who has children is faced with guilt about not being able to spend time with the children. The children has great demands on time. They need help with their homework, or need dinner and to be tucked in bed at a certain time. The thought of not being able to keep up with the demands of the children is very stressful and can be depressing to both the child and parent. In other words everyone suffers because you are unable to fulfill all the obligations that you have taken on.

College students finds very little time to enjoy extracurricular activities. Even if they attend any major school functions, games, or dating , they will regret not getting the term paper done that was due the following day or week. Many students begin to feel pressure that often leads to depression and social isolation. The fear of being a failure and not measuring up to someone’s expectations adds more pressure to the sleep-deprived, stressed out student.

College students are often left with no personal time, and must learn to manage job and family. College has many rewards if you do not get burned out and give up too soon. The pressure and time managing can all be worked out with patience and lots of understanding from family and friends.

Being Amitian...

It was almost three and a half years ago, my competitve examinations had not gone as I had wished. Through some friends I came to know about Amity. I applied for it and eventually got admission. When I look back, I wonder how swiftly the time has passed. It doesn't seem long ago when we all were in the first year trying to come to terms with the unexpected course our lives had taken.(To be honest, I guess none of us have picked Amity as our first choice).Now it is just a matter of few months before we will complete our B.tech (hoping no backlogs in final sem or a yearback) and go out to build a career. I am looking forward to life without amizone. The time at Amity has been challenging as well as full of opportunities. Regardless of the fact that I did not study as hard as I would have liked, it is for sure that Amity has taught me a lot and helped me become a better individual. I made some incredible friends who were always there for me. It was great to see that how people from entirely different background got together se well and enjoyed each others company. 

On some lighter note...

A. Lab assistants seem to be knowing more than lab faculties.
B. We spend more money at the xerox shop than at the book shop.
C. Usually our practical vivas (especially X batch) get over before time, i mean, after 1st or 2nd group itself because the externals are so exhausted after being fed with such out of the
world answers that they are no more capable of asking questions related to subject matter for next groups and endanger their own knowledge.
D. Through out the semester we curse our faculties for forcefully teaching us something greek but at the end of the sem, during exams, we curse them after discovering the fact,thanks to previous year's question papers, that faculties were equally clueless about the subject matter and more importantly syllabus.

E. All the Amitians have one common thing to wonder and the thing is that " how come Amity is non profit and no.1 pvt university.

Engineering ...well what can I say ...truly Fabulous!

Four years and life has changed, in dimensions no one could have thought of. It was just another day at Amity, when we were asked to write about our four years of engineering when started the time of retrospection and reminiscence because frankly speaking, it is hard to pin down moments that make you who you are and moments which you would cherish for the rest of life.

It was 2010 when I started the quest for colleges. My school was nearby and Amity , being one of the last options eventually ended up being ‘The One’ for me, but never have I regretted it . In fact I will always be grateful for living the ‘Amity Experience’ and can say that things always end up for good as there is more than meets the eye. Never would I have realized then, that a college can give me so much that can change a person.

So we were here in the end of July, 2010, all waiting in anticipation of events to come forth. Taking steps with caution we realized that it was not what we aspired for but for what was given to us. Things became simple and as days passed, all of us had our time of getting to know each other. The term ‘Mechanical’ often became a symbol of unity and friendship and all were up in excitement for any challenge, what may come. There were instances we all wished that could have been changed or eased out, however it was all part of the learning process .Whether it be fun in class, or during excursions, the moment of belongingness became even stronger with each passing day. Friendship bonds us together and last with you for times ahead to come. Whether it be in class or outside, I found a fellow friend whom I can truly trust and share my feelings with. Faculties who had given true guidance were the ones who had shown how not to fret about issues. Now that we are almost done with engineering, there seems to be a void that can’t be filled ever again. Such is the power of college that you live a different life inside and soon to be a part of corporate, you realize that those were your golden years of cherishment and zeal.

Well, I am still left with a year of Masters, part of the dual degree, but times will not be the same as before. Friends that stay with you throughout 4 years are friends that you have earned and will still be with you for the rest of your life. So rest assured, those days unfortunately never will come back and I can look back and happily treasure the fact that I had enjoyed every part of it.

Memorable moments at amity

My experience at Amity in these four years has been an overwhelming one. When I joined the University, I was afraid if I would be able to make new friends and adjust with new people. But I met some very nice people on the very first day who are friends with me till now (Bharat and Pranav).Later Shubham also joined us. As I joined college late, I missed many lectures and was on the verge of getting debarred in many subjects, but somehow that problem was sorted and I cleared first semester exams without any hurdle. The second semester was very enjoyable as I and my friends attended various college fests which was a new experience for all of us. 

As I am a bit introvert and shy, It took me some time to open up with my friends, and it was during the third semester that I became fully frank with my friends. I also  became friends with Ravi, Vidit and Himanshu. I still miss those days when we used to play cricket in class and throw chalks on people from first floor.

As the semesters passed, less classes were held and we use to get a lot of free time. We used to play cricket and cards in free time.

The last two years in Amity have been very overwhelming for me, I discovered my passion for photography. I started writing for our University Newsletter (Global Times) and even got writers award for it.

When I look back now, there have been a lot of positive changes in me along with some unforgettable moments. These experiences over the last four years have made me more optimistic and hardworking and taught me many new things.

College Life : Best and Life Changing!!

For most students, entering college is a terrifying and an overwhelming experience. It’s a case of when the fear of the unknown is the greatest fear of all. We don’t know if we adjust to a place where every single student has to stand on their own two feet and take responsibility for our education and future.

This transition from high school to college is the most significant in our lives. Sadly, some college students believe that college is only about finding a job. I admit, I was one of those students. But my college experience till now has helped me realize that college is about finding yourself; who you are as a person and the type of person you want to be.

. When it came time for me to begin looking at colleges I wasn't sure where I wanted to go. I felt that their were so many choices and I found it difficult narrowing my choices down. Factors such as the college size, the college locale, and the cost were all part of my decision process. But I was into automobiles, so after researching a lot , Amity University became my top choice by virtue of its communication proximity to my hometown Bhubaneswar. The location was important because I knew that I would be exposed to students with different experiences and back grounds from that of my own.

From the first day, I recognized that college meant something more. It helped the transition of going from high school to a larger world full of different people and different experiences. You don’t have to live in a dorm, make your own schedule, and have plenty of resources at your disposal. Libraries, computers, tutors are all within reach.

During my first semester, I did feel slightly overwhelmed by the college experience. But I began to become comfortable when I connected with other students. They might have been from a different state , but they have the same problems and fears as I did. As I got became relaxed in my new environment, one question remained: “What do I want to do with my life?”

Ever since middle school, I’ve been told and complimented about my writing. I didn’t notice at the time how serious I took every essay I received or every story I conceived.

The first half of my second year was not that good as I got into fight with one of my best friend and I was in depression the whole semester. But in 4^th semester we sorted out the misunderstanding and I was happy. In second year , in 4^th semester some of friend could find this hidden talent of dancing in me and asked me to dance with a group and I was very happy and enjoyed a lot with them performing at many place. The fun with with friends, the H block, hanging out , bunking our classes all have become a significant part of my memory but the other part of it goes to the devil who has always ensured us to stay where we are and also in our limits the attendance. The most feared and respected thing what i have felt about amity in these four four years is not its crowd but attendance. It has always made us sit idle in front of our professors always pretending to be studying with our minds in our mobile games and wonderful apps. 

In last three years in college I have met  many  wonderful people who have  left a special place in my heart and mind.. Apart from the studies, the projects,the assignments and the presentations have become a usual routine which have helped in boosting our confidence levels. The value added courses sometimes makes my mood a little irritated but they too have proved to be an integral part of our lives. As I come to the end of my time at Amity University, I truly look forward to the opportunity to expose myself to the exceptionally diverse community of a major university. After rethinking some of the diverse people I have come into contact with while attending Amity, I believe that having the opportunity to meet  more  people  from  many  diverse  cultural  backgrounds could   teach me more about life than anyone else. This life and my time at Amity University will be cherished in my memories forever for the unforgettable journey it has accompanied me with.

The journey of engineering in Amity

It was my birthday the day I joined Amity. I was quite confused about how I was feeling. Sad or happy to stay away from my parents and start a new life? It was kind of both. And now it’s more than 3 and a half years I have been in Amity and life has been quite good here.

1^st year, it was kind of rough. Had some problems in adjusting to a new lifestyle, new people, different food habit etc etc. I realized that life isn’t going to be the same hereafter. As time went by, fun started taking its route. Made a hell lot of friends, got selected in the college band to play the bass guitar, and things turned out pretty well. It was a good experience to perform as a guest band in one’s own college’s annual fest.

2^nd year, after being pissed off by some irrelevant courses in first year, gave some new life into my engineering life. Interesting courses came up. Interesting curriculum, knowledge boosting projects, everything just paved a way for an exciting engineering life. Joined other bands in Delhi, played a lot in many colleges, both in band competitions as well as star night. Started learning mixed martial arts in the university’s gym, did a project on jet engines. Interesting 2^nd year it was.

3^rd year, almost into core mechanical engineering. Being a student of dual degree course had to study courses of post graduation together with the courses of graduation. The real fun started right in this year. Always aspired to learn about automobiles and here I was at gate of the knowledge bank of automobile engineering. Apart from studies, continued my music career. Played songs for some short movies. Made a music video with the band. Towards the end, began my summer internship in Oil India Limited, Duliajan, Assam and I must admit, it was one two month training period which I had never experienced before. Right from trending technologies to classic old technologies, I got to lay my hands on all. I experienced how the job life is. And guys, I am telling you this, job life is as much fun as is college life. Trust me!

4^th year, supposed to be the last year of B.Tech, but yet not my last year in college. Most memorable thing was the trip that I made to IIT Roorkee and Rishikesh with my classmates. Sessions for grooming the students for placement, the ever interesting subjects of M.Tech, oh God, it has been a wonderful time. Made another music video with another band to pay tribute to the Delhi gang rape case victim Damini. Released it on exactly the same day when the incident took place. The bridge between college life and job life can be clearly seen.

I am in the last half of the 4^th year and I never knew how this 3 and half years flew away. It feels like I came to Amity just yesterday. College has never felt boring. Coming to college in the hot mornings of the summer, the foggy winters, bunking classes, skipping lectures, clashes with people, break-ups, annual fest, I’ll never be able to forget all this. I wish I could live these 3 and half years again and again. Hoping that 5^th year in Amity shall be more exciting!

A rhythm of academic interests, personal perspectives, and life experiences

I wake up and there is a rhythm in my head: it’s hazy. I climb into the shower and the water tapping on my scalp reminds me. As I sit on the metro rail to go to college, I get strange looks from passengers as I tap the rhythm onto my knees, but it’s not yet fully formed. Throughout the day, I feel it evolve and develop until I inevitably sit down at my synthesizer and play. From my brain via my heart it enters my muscles; they transfer it to the hands which relay it to the instrument. Eventually, the air gets my gift and the rhythm returns through my ears. Even after the sounds are gone, the rhythm is not. Until I go to bed, a day’s repetition keeps it rebounding inside my cranium, in my own private concert hall. This is the journey of my daily rhythm.

I wake up and there is a rhythm in my head: it’s not straight for this rhythm swings. At 8:00 am in Delhi I get on a coach and as the wheels rotate beneath me I get closer. My coach has thirty five other people in it, each one is carried forward in their own sense of time. My imagination, my hands and my synthesizer have to communicate my inner rhythm; the audience must be able to feel it or else I have failed. Rhythm is the barrier to embarrassment. As the opening to “Tum Hi Ho” begins to take shape, all my trust is placed in the pattern I have within me transporting me safely to the end. If this vessel sank, I too would go with it.

I wake up and there is a rhythm in my head: but it is quiet. In fact, no-one hears it; it makes no noise and never will. Between the hours of 0915 and 1645 I have 6 beats: each one signaling another unit of learning. This phrase is repeated 5 days a week for 32 weeks a year and the chorus goes on 3 more times. My song is my college, and in it I am caught up in its inner rhythms that I cannot control – I must give in to them. The melodies that are assigned to these rhythms are made up of fabrication methodologies, energy solutions and numbers that don’t exist. From these, cadences form that give me a progression through education. Each part of my song has been given a name; there are no verses, no choruses but consecutive Key Stages. The rhythm indicates when I should make the transition: there is a series of fills, but they are not called fills. They are called exams and as the stages progress, the fills get more intense. In fact, they get more frequent and at the end of my college life, I look back to a year where exams punctuated my calendar. In February, I will have moved to the dominant, only to complete the progression in May when I descend and finish on the tonic: a perfect cadence.

I wake up and there is rhythm: the rhythm is life. The cycle of night and day and the constant pulsing in my chest are rhythms, and as the Earth revolves around our local star it is in time with the universe. I think in meter: a man crosses the street and his steps divide the distance between one curb and the next – they provide a beat in the asphalt bar, or at least that is how I picture it. If animals could not use the rhythm of the seasons, then they would surely die. Life is a rhythm and all that it contains is in time. When the rhythm ceases to exist, so will I.

My college experience

College is the stepping stone from High School to the real world. Amity University has truly changed me as a person. College is intended not only to teach us knowledge, but also to prepare us for the next part of life. Not all college students get this preparation though. Those students are the ones that live at home and commute to school every day. These students miss out on the entire college culture. 

The biggest adaptation I have had to make in my life was moving to a PG opposite Gate No. 2 Amity University. Not only was it totally different from high school in relation to the
content of classes and homework, but it was also completely different from my
home life. I was living on my own, with new surroundings and new people.
Needless to say, this was something like I had never experienced before.
Generally, college classes aren't that much more difficult than high
school courses. The big difference is that in college I have to do all of my
homework outside of class. Many of the wonderful people I have met during my college experience have each left a special place in my heart and mind. So far, the college experience has made me a changed person. College changed me into a better person on many occasions. I have learned to be more responsible, when it comes down to getting work done. In college you must be responsible. 

My college experience started about four years ago. I knew it was not going to be easy, but I was unsure of what was ahead of me. The one word that describes the feelings I first had during my first year at Amity is responsibility, which I experienced academically, socially and even economically. My college experience was not like any other college student would describe it. Most college students say that you have a lot of time on your hands because classes are so spread out, but things did not go this way for me. Mechanical Engineering at Amity University has a different way of doing things.

Everybody knows that college is academically a step higher than high school. I grew more responsible academically because my classes were very straight to the point, and the teachers spoke with great knowledge. Mechanical Engineering has a tight schedule here at Amity University. For me that meant 9:15 a.m. until 5:50 p.m. classes with one hour break. I had to keep up with tests and homework in very short periods. It took a lot of responsibility for me to accomplish this. 

Amity has been a major part of my life and will remain so in the future always.

My Experience at Amity

For most students, entering college is a terrifying and an overwhelming experience. It’s a case of when  the fear of the unknown is the greatest fear of all. I don’t know if we adjust to a place where every . Single student has to stand on their own two feet and take responsibility for our education and future.  And finally on 28^th July, 2010 the day arrived. I was quite nervous entering into a whole new world with different people around. I met with my new classmates and we started interacting with each other and the next thing we know is that we have to give a TEST!! I mean which college welcomes its new students with an exam on the very first day., But we Engineers, we can handle anything.  While walking from class to class I get a nice breeze and never feel like I am alone. It makes the university appealing because I always feel secure in my surroundings. The campus alone gives me a reason to attend. First year I skipped an exam and later in the 2^ndsemester I even had a back . I lost my confidence, but as you know there is always your time, next three years were about to show me success. Community college is all too often portrayed as a safety net for graduates that don’t have enough money or the grades to get into a four year university. But from the first day, I recognized that community college meant something more. It helped the transition of going from 12th  to a larger world full of different people and different experiences. You don’t have to live in a dorm, make your own The campus is wonderful, but on top of that the college also has both the subjects I would like to major in. The university has a variety of majors, including bioinformatics and creative writing. First off, I have researched and found that the university does very well in sciences, so I feel by going here  I would get a better experience than other colleges in the area. Also this summer I was able to make my own schedule, meet some fascinating people, including  a special friend that motivated me along the way, and assisted me into following a special path. I’m  proud to have one of my works on the verge of becoming a reality. If you told me that five years ago, I  wouldn’t believe it. But now, I can see that community college is a significant institution that can lead you  into looking inside yourself and revealing the true person within. Maybe the best thing about community  college is that it’s only the beginning Amity University will be cherished in my memories forever for the unforgettable journey it has accompanied me with.

FOUR YEARS IN AMITY

Sometimes I feel that i was wrong when I chose to study at Amity University and wish i could go back and review my optimistic decision once and for all. This thought had always made me helpless. But looking at the other aspect of what I have gained rather than what I had presumed to have lost, I can never overlook the discipline, the conviction, the punctual attitude that amity has inculcated in me. not to forget the quality of life and study , the exposure it has given to me, the friends, fun and frolic. Wow!! I think they weigh more than what I presumed would have never been.

It all started in the year 2010 when I first entered the college and we had to register ourselves when I got myself introduced to people who had come from various states of our country , had different perceptions and different goals set in life. I liked that. It was a challenging to adjust with everyone of them but yes, I am proud now that I did and those people now have become a part and parcel of my life.

The fun with with friends, the H block, hanging out , bunking our classes all have become a significant part of my memory but the other part of it goes to the devil who has always ensured us to stay where we are and also in our limits ' THE ATTENDANCE'. The most feared and respected thing what i have felt about amity in these four four years is not its crowd but attendance. It has always made us sit idle in front of our professors always pretending to be studying with our minds in our mobile games and wonderful apps. 

These four years have really been wonderful that i had thought. Apart from the studies, the projects,the assignments and the presentations have become a usual routine which have helped in boosting our confidence levels. The value added courses sometimes makes my mood a little irritated but they too have proved to be an integral part of our lives.

After recapturing what all I have got and would have never got if I had gone back to change what I have got once and for all.

My experience at Amity

My experience at Amity University has been one of the most unforgettable one. These 4 years have challenge me in many way that no one could possibly imagine. But, out of all these hindrances I have managed to come up, I give that credit to the university for challenging me all the way to make me work hard to be ready for the life to come after it. Well, starting off with the year 2010 when my parents took the decision to getting me into Amity, my father was more excited about it, his blessing will be always with me and I know he will be very happy to see me becoming an engineer from heaven. I still remember I used to be a kid with no social exposure, I was shy, and I was a lot introvert. I met new friends in the college on my first day (Nishant and Pranav). I wasn’t able to collect my confidence to even speak out to them openly and more importantly I think I was the only person who might have read the entire “PERFORMA” provided by the university. This year I skipped an exam and later in the 2^nd semester I even had a back and was debarred in behavioural science, twice I got fainted and even injured myself in one time. I lost my confidence, but as you know there is always your time, next three years were about to show me success. I managed to come up with clearing all the backlogs and maintain a decent cgpa. I would remember playing cricket in class, celebrating birthdays, roaming around the college, bunking electrical sciences minor, criticizing the college especially mechanical department, and the unforgettable incident of Manesar of which I was a part. I would like to thank the college for coming up with vital courses like communication skills, behavioural sciences and foreign language that has groomed me today to face the upcoming professional life with confidence. I am also lucky to never get into any fights or sought of it (until now, still one semester to go). The journey till the date has been a see-saw for me, I am very satisfied with what the university has given me. All the great friends who have stood by me to support me in the worst of my times and celebrate the best times as well, all the faculty who have always believed in me in some ways. Today when I look at the Bharat Sharma of 2010 I look at a person who was socially challenged, less interactive and below average communicator. Now, I am more expressive, better in communicating rather more social and have built a positive personality, it wouldn’t be possible for me if I would have got into any other college.  Amity University will be cherished in my memories forever for the unforgettable journey it has accompanied me with.

My experience at Amity

“There is a time and place for everything and it’s called College”.

These were the words which my friend said to me when I was about to join the university. Though almost four years have passed by but it still seems like just a few days back when I received my joining letter from Amity University. I was really happy as I had got 50% scholarship with a direct admission that meant no interview or group discussion, I had to just storm through the college gates on the first day.

And finally on 28^th July, 2010 the day arrived. I was quite nervous entering into a whole new world with different people around. I met with my new classmates and we started interacting with each other and the next thing we know is that we have to give a TEST!! I mean which college welcomes its new students with an exam on the very first day. Eventually it all came through and my journey began. The journey which was going to last five years covering more than 60 subjects, 120 exams, numerous assignments and projects. But we Engineers, we can handle anything.

The first semester, no doubt it was toughest one as I was still adjusting to the new environment and teachers. And it did reflect on my mark-sheets, but I was happy that I cleared all the subjects with a fairly good pointer breaking the jinx that “First semester me to Back aati hi hai”. Then came the even semester and then odd and then even again. The one thing I hated regarding the syllabus was that we Mechanical students were being taught Computer science subjects. Even the thought of learning the computer language irritated me so I studied those only to pass and nothing more.

And then there was our H Block having the eating joints, the main cafeteria, CCD, SUBWAY, Dominoes. This was my temporary refuge from the monotonous life of lectures and attendances .Thanks to this block I did not succumb to the boring part of college life. Another interesting part of the college was the Amity Youth Fest. Every year for three days all of us enjoyed to the fullest from small events regarding games, treasure hunts to the big star night. I have made some of very good friends at college who keep on adding spice to the college life when it seems to get a bit neutral. Together we have visited numerous places around, celebrated birthdays, got ourselves in fights, played pranks and much more.

In the beginning of my seventh semester I got selected as the Transmission department head of the Amity Racing Team for SUPRA SAE India 2014. This was one of the best things that happened to me during my college life. And at present I and my team are building our very own Formula 1 style racing car.

So now when I look back to all those years that have passed by I feel happy that I have achieved something. I have made good friends. I have laughed at my mistakes and made effort to correct them. I have maintained a positive attitude throughout and I have enjoyed my time here at Amity University.

golden era of my life

On 13^th July 2010 I received admission letter from Amity University. On that day I was so happy and excited that I can’t express my those feelings in words. From that day I started planning for my college life. On the first day of my college I met a guy who was very friendly and helpful. When our classes started I met with my other friends also and all of them were good and supportive. Our classes started and we were serious towards our studies but our branch was Mechanical so almost everyone thought that we were not interested in studies and we were here only to do fun and enjoyment but that wasn’t true. We were there to do both study and fun because for me doing engineering was my passion as well as my destiny of life. Slowly and steadily time passed and our first semester final exam were about to start and honestly we were not so prepared, at that time there was a sudden change in every student, we all became were serious towards our studies and as a result we all passed those exams with average score. Since that was our first semester so we were not aware about the marking scheme. But as the second semester came and passed we got to know more about the culture of Amity. One of the thing for which Amity is both good and bad is the attendance. It is the one for which every student is worried but on the other hand due to this we all became very punctual and regular. In our college life we met both type of faculties strict and lenient but both of them were always concerned and caring regarding our studies. Sometimes we blame our college management for providing us very tight schedule in the exam, but on other hand we also praise our college for providing us with lot of holidays. In my third year I got a golden opportunity to visit to Japan for 10 days which was most wonderful and marvellous trip and for that all credit goes to my college and my Japanese language faculty. Every semester passed and finally we are in the last semester. I am happy that it’s my last semester in the college and also feels sad when I think that my college life is to going to be over. One of the best gift which I had got from the Amity is the knowledge gained by me and my awesome Friends. Even after our college life whenever we will meet our friends we will surely talk about our wonderful college life.
