THE STORY OF MY COLLEGE LIFE

I still remember my first day in college. I was excited and nervous too because i was around people i never knew before. But as days passed everything went smoothly i made wonderful friends who are still my best friends. Then i realised the most important thing ‘attendance’ we all came to know that the most important thing here in “Amity University” is ‘Amizone’ and this thing is haunting me even after these 4 years. So as time passed i got comfortable in the college environment,it took time for me know all the blocks here in amity. There were also some fresh face events in which we got a chance to show our talent and get famous.  
In first year we were new , excited about college, everything seemed so cheerful,then suddenly there came first semester exams , it was scary ,we were so busy in our fun that we forgot to study, every exam in this semester was prepared in one or two days. After this i thought i will study hard in next sems but every sem there was same one or two day study before exams.
In second year we were confident , we were amitians in a true way now. Our friend circle got more dense and strong , fun continued in the full pace. We enjoyed various events fests with full energy. Second year also passed very quickly. Now we were in third year , we were a bit mature and there was a seriousness in everyone to increase their cgpa because everyone was expecting placements at the end of third year and afterwards. Also this was the time to clear all our backlogs and try that no new should come.
Then there was fourth and last year, there was a feeling of proudness to be senior amongst all, also we were groomed and our personality developed in a good way in past three years. Everyday there was some news about some company coming for placements,we all wanted to get a good job. This was the time that we realised that if we had studied hard in previous sems our pointers would be very good and that would have helped in these placements.

Anyways at last i want to say that i enjoyed a lot in these four years infact i enjoyed a bit too much , now i feel that i could have studied more harder. Also these years helped me to learn how to survive in life , how to compete to achieve something.I would say that college is a training ground on which one learns how to become successful and a good person.

Life at Amity


No doubt anyone of us chooses amity as a first choice, nor do i. It was the time when in all my competitive exams I was scratching for gold and I didn’t find even a bronze .In year 2010 I got admission in amity. Amity looks like gold for me at that time after that bunch of failure. After coming to amity I have realized life at amity is very impressive and also challenging. At amity you don’t have to find reason for happiness “no doubt only for first two years”. Challenges will find its way to you like (attendance, fear of getting debarred, assignment, and internal marks). Faculty uses internal marks as their greatest weapon.


In first year I was late to join amity. I came to amity on the very first day of minor .As expected I had meshed up all my minor exams. After minor then comes the real challenge the ‘2A’ (assignment and attendance) and it chased us throughout our 4 years. But in amity we have a tradition of copying the assignment .Being new to amity we don’t know much about the term “debarred” but on the final day of class before the exams we got exact meaning of that. For the Semester exams we rather prefer last late night show of studies.


Our second and third year ended up with following the same routine.


Now in the final year nightmares started overcoming our positive thought (jobs, future etc.). Instead of doing something we did nothing and lived the same life. The possible outcome of these 4 years is that we make an exact copy of assignment in less time than a photocopy machine; we speak better Spanish than Hindi. Life at amity is really very impressive. These 4 years are really unforgettable.

Work in Progress...I and Amity

It was 9th August, when I joined Amity University for pursuing my B.tech in mechanical & automation engineering. The general hostel format in amity is to place students with common courses together in its hostel at sector-125 Amity campus but thanks to me joining Amity late I ended up in new section made for late entry at fourth floor of the Amity hostel at Amity Campus in sector-44. Our floor was comprised of students from all the different courses in amity not just engineering, it was basically a huge hall in which partitions with board were created, so it was like we were all living together in a home just in different rooms. I got mixed up with everyone on the floor on the first day only. It was really a great time there. 

First day in college was surely full of mixed emotions, a part of me was scared of new environment, people and not to mention ragging & while I was also excited about new environment, meeting new peoples and even experiencing ragging, though the last one never happened thanks to amity’s strictness against it. The first few days were a not very smooth as there were a lot of formalities before actually joining classes like getting registered in the department which is not an easy thing and I still don’t understand why do we have to do it every year when we were registered with Amity while joining it, also we all classmates were total strangers for each other. However, I made some really good friends very soon and hence my college life began.

College was now a new word for fun, everything was going great but then came the first semester results, result was pretty bad but I ignored it thinking that I will improve it in future, and this way by the end of first year, I was having real bad score, I mean a REALLY VERY BAD SCORE, it was a shock but then I got serious about studies and worked hard , attended classes regularly and in third semester I was among the toppers of the class, after that my results have been okay till now. Amity taught me many things not just about my course but about life actually more about life then in my course. While joining amity I was a naive, immature, gullible kid, I know there is a lot more to learn yet and there will always, but I know that I have matured since joining it. It turned me in to a better person who can deal with the outside world better. 

The environment, infrastructure provided by Amity is incomparable to any other institute of its kind. It gave me some real friend whom I will treasure for my life and some great gurus who made me what I am today. Finally I would like to say one last thing that I am going to miss my days at Amity throughout my life.

COLLEGE TIME!

My life in Amity, so far is going really nice and it’s all because of my loving friends. I joined Amity in the year 2010 for pursuing my engineering in mechanical and automation. The first year in Amity was very tough as it is in most of the other colleges as well, because I was new here and since I don’t know anyone it took me almost a month to adjust myself. The faculties provided to us in the first year were very strict and we had a lot of subjects and assignments to do, so my college life was not going so happening as I had expected.
In the second year the subjects were little less and till then I had found a enjoying company so all goes well and we started bunking classes, going out for watching movies in the lecture time, now being in mechanical we couldn’t  enjoy much in the classes due to the scarcity of girls so we had to look for some alternative sources like hanging out in H-block and etc.
With the coming of the third year I got serious about my studies because my CGPA was going low and I had to get the required pointer to be eligible to sit in the companies for my placement in the next year.
 At last it is my final year, though I am not been placed yet but I have become more confident, outgoing , responsible and independent and it is all because of my respected faculties and their hardwork,  and now very few months are left in our college and we all are going to start the new phase of our life, I am gonna miss all the beautiful moments which I  had spent here and want to thank AMITY to be one of the best part of my life.

When happy hours got a little out of hand

Joining Amity was never on my bucket list but I ended up here because of the low scores in my high school. The way my interview went I was sure I was going to sit with people having mediocre personality and a very low self esteem. But as soon as I joined I was surrounded by people who din't care less for the same. I overheard someone speaking that someone here had an AIEEE ranking of less than 50000 and then decided to join Amity. It was beyond me. But my perceptions started to change.

I thought to myself that everybody must have had a huge luggage within themselves to land up here. I was told that "Amity mein to sabka ho jata hai" and I guess its true. But the way this college makes you ready for the crazy world outside is exceptional. Right from the first semester - Assignments&attendance. Both these things have ended up in shaping our psychology towards things.

Assignments has taught me to be hard working, even if in copying things.
Attendance has taught me to be punctual and be street smart.


All in all these 4 years have been a crucial year in shaping me into who I am now from who I was in 2010. Nothing is perfect. So we should face the fact that Amity is nowhere close to the best university we could have got but this is a class above the rest. The variety here is humongous. People from around the country come here. North, South, East or west all the people come and study here. My experience was the best in interacting with people and learning about the cultures and the way they live. The sex ratio here is by far the best among other engineering colleges (Not in Mechanical though).

In the end what matters is what you make of the experiences you have. And this college life has been a roller coaster and will be remembered for long. Till next time Goodbye.

4 years of freedom @ Amity

It was year 2010 when i took the decision to pursue  my graduation from Amity university.Before taking admission it was usually heard from seniors,friends,etc that there is no need to study at amity ,you will get placement even without studying. But as soon as 1st semester started it went all wrong like life was only surrounded by assignments, class test, viva but somehow i managed to clear my 1st semester exams without any backlogs.I was completely shocked when 1st semester result came out as i was expecting minimum of 3 backs ...
Now 2nd semester started and at that time i had grew enough confidence that there is no chance of getting back in future semester so i fully enjoyed 2nd semester like I bunked classes,watched movies everytime,hangout with friends etc as a result i was debarred in one subject, even it was acceptable to me but when 2nd semester result came out it was none less than landslide for me as i got one back with pointer below 5..
Now it was high time for me to think about my career and to devote my time to studies but nothing worked, in 2nd year my pointer was just  above 5 still very less than minimum criteria to sit in companies for placements...but one good news came out of my result that i was able to clear all my backlogs..
In 3rd year i seriously  studied as a result of which i managed to get cgpa  5.97
and the improvement process is still going on...
But apart from studies several things i managed to improve like i used to be a shy guy before taking admission in college ,but now somehow i've managed to get rid off it.
As time passed over i turned out to be more and more mature day by day.

Not just Engineering

College has a big role to play in a person’s life. Never a person leaves as the same person he was when he set his first step in the college campus. Same is the scenario with me. These four years have transformed me into an entirely different person.  Not only have I gained technical knowledge because of my preferred field, I have grown as a better person, a person who can deal with the outside world.
I Joined Amity in August 2010 and soon I will be an engineer. All the credit goes to our learned faculty members who teach us with utmost passion and commitment. Without their guidance and persuasion I feel none of us would have a sound technical mind which we have today. Amity known for its infrastructure did not disappoint us, and we also utilized it to our advantage for our learning and growth.
The college not only gave us theoretical knowledge but also ensured that we are up to date with the industry we hope to serve in the future. Various industry trips were arranged which proved to be very helpful. The industrial training that we completed after our third year was a great learning experience. The military camp at Manesar was also a great learning experience.
What makes Amity apart from just another engineering colleges is the value added courses which ensure the all round development of a student. I would consider myself extremely lucky to have lecturers who have immense knowledge of the concerned subject. Individual attention is what we need for personality development and that is what we got over here.
Apart from studies, friends play a huge and a very important role in college life. I have made friends in this college who I am very sure will remain with me throughout my life. The experiences that we shared together through our great journey will always be cherished.
Just a few months are left in this college and we all are curious to start working and start a new life. But I am very sure that the day we say goodbye to this life we are going to miss it. I want to wish all my friends for  great future and hope we all stay in touch.

“REWIND”

“College is the place where a child enters and a man exits.” Goodevening ladies and gentlemen, today I stand before you to speak about the experiences of my life in Amity.
When I first came to college I was still a kid; gullible, naive and immature. I won’t say I have learned everything now but I have matured over time. Knowing different people, handling various situations are few things that have done wonders. On the first day of my college I was scared, scared of getting ragged by seniors, scared of interacting with officials and definitely scared of mixing up with my new to be friends. Very few students were interacting with everyone. All of us had found one friend, the first one we met and formed our little temporary groups. For few weeks it went like that. But as time went we made friends with people we still hang out with. The first semester most of the students especially myself were trying to impress fellow students, faculty and our parents by studying too hard and getting highest pointers. The idea was to set our image as a person to be taken as a serious competition. However, when the first semester result came out many had a change of mind. Bunking classes, making excuse to professors for attendance started in second semester. I with most of my classmates, except for front row students started enjoying our college lives. This was unavoidably followed by fall in our pointers. To most of the students back papers were introduced in first semester itself, but I managed to pass all my subjects in the first year. In the second year however, when people were getting serious about their studies I got my first back papers. My result saw a downturn and it didn’t look back till the third year. In fourth year though, after getting a good series of scoldings from my parents I decided to take things seriously and cleared two out of three of my backs. I started catching up to the seven pointer mark set up by most of the companies coming for campus placements. The work is still in process.
Apart from academic fluctuations, psychological fluctuations were a major feature of my college life. I had always been a scholar and my parents raised me and my sister to be content with everything we have in life. But after coming to college a major change in my ideologies took place. It was for the very first time that I saw so many students coming in high end luxury cars to college. Audis, BMWs, Mercedes’ were more common in college than in any other major mall parking. A materialistic view of life set up in the minds of many students, I was one of those gullible students. Competition among friends and fellow college students started. Instead of competing in pointers, who was coming in a bigger car and who was carrying a better phone became our topic of concern. Hanging out at lounges and buying clothes marketed by illustrious and expensive brands diverted our minds from studies. This was the primary reason for my fall in pointers. Now when I look back at things I would usually occupy my mind with I feel terribly sorry and embarrassed for myself. With the placements approaching I do miss the time lost in unconstructive activities. But as they say, experiences are a very important part of learning and if you are learning from your mistakes then the mistakes are not mistakes anymore.
These last four years I spent in Amity have been a great teacher to me. I learnt the importance of keeping the right company, I learnt to let go of things and most importantly I learnt to have patience. With that note I would like to thank all of you for patiently listening to me.

Have a nice evening everyone.

Significant Experience & its Impact

College is when a child develops into an adult, a child gets out of school, faces a completely different world. This world poses different challenges and forces him/her to take up responsibilities. Indeed, I completely agree that college life is the best time in a person's life.

In college, as a student we are exposed to an ocean of challenges. Each individual learns to accept these challenges, work on them, develop strategies and plans, and motivate themselves to achieve success. This teaches a very important lessons of life. A student learns to become a self-motivator, independent, strong and the will to take up responsibilities.

Personally, I learnt a lot of lessons in my college life which I believe made me a better person. For example, I was given a project to complete within a stated deadline. I had to plan out my time, so I could complete my project on time for submission. Through this, I learnt an important skill of time management. I also learnt to believe that any well planned goal is easy to achieve.

Adding to that, college life also gives us a chance to meet new people. It makes us develop a good communication skill. It introduces us to people having various backgrounds, including cultural and academic backgrounds. It helps us in opening our minds to various thoughts, views and opinions.

Moreover, college life also gave me a lot of freedom. I have been in a position where I had a variety of choices and important decisions I had to make. Choices included following the crowd blindly or standing up for myself as an individual and have a confidence to against the crowd. Freedom to make a decision lay in my hands, like for example, deciding to drink or smoke like my friends did or not to. But I gladly and confidently decided never to smoke or drink. Some friends did mock me initially but that never mattered. As I was confident with the decision I made and I had my basics of the to-do's and not to-do's right!

Thus, in my opinion, college life indeed is the best time in a person's life. It offers us freedom and a chance to learn various lessons. It makes us a better individual by making us a strong responsible person capable of motivating our self. I'm proud of the person I'm today and I'm grateful to my college that gave me the opportunity and thought me my lessons. It surely was the best part of my life

4 YEARS IN AMITY

It started way back in 2010 when I came in Amity in Mechanical Engineering. I was so much nervous that I used to go home as soon as classes got over. In first year my main aim was studies though I did not scored much as I did not understood what was being taught in the class. I even gave dance, cricket and basketball auditions in first year and was selected for dance group. I got one back in a subject in second semester which made me very much stressed and depressed. Then in second year I got to know many students apart from my class which made me busy and I loved staying in college. I liked spending time in college, playing sports like basketball and cricket and even got more serious for studies. I scored well in next semesters eventually and I gradually increased my CGPA. Then I got involved in many competitions and I started participating in dance competitions in fest. It just got better and better with time. I became a known person and I even took part in engineering competitions like Efficycle organized by SAE and Business plan competition organized by Sweden embassy. My confidence grew with exposure, The college which was my stress causing thing interchanged into stress buster thing. I became mentally strong and I even cleared SSB but was rejected in conference. The exposure that I got in amity changed me totally and completely and I just love myself as I am now. Because when I came in college we compared ourselves with IIt-ians and now there is no comparison as we are way ahead then them in all aspects. So my life in amity made me experience everything that I can in life and totally changed me and now in final year I am just waiting for getting placed in a good company. It would not have been possible if I was in any other college instead of amity. So I personally would always cherish the moments that I spent in college and I will always miss them.

“4-YEARS” OF AN ONGOING EVOLUTION

I could clearly recapitulate my first day at Amity as it was just the day before yesterday. When I first joined amity, I was in profound dismay why I had to leave my school, my friends and enter this entirely strange environment. There was an internal conflict going within me whether I have joined the right institution or not because everything at that moment seemed to be strange.  A sequence of unfavorable events kept on occurring on my first day. Finally when I had realized that the ratio of guys to girls in our class was almost 30:1, I kind of started ruing the moment I had decided to come to Amity University to pursue my technical degree in Mechanical and Automation. All in all, my first day at Amity didn’t turn out to be in my favor.
As the days passed by, I made many friends and got familiar with the campus and faculty members. In the first semester I was quite perplexed as I found it hard to understand how our system worked and the significant role that “ Amizone “ was going to play in the next 4 years of my life.1st semester passed without much zest and realization as most of the times I was out of the campus with my school mates.
And then came the second semester and I started going to classes regularly as attendance was the sole weapon used by faculties to make us sit in the class. The entire environment was full of enthusiasm and zest because of a thing called “Amity Youth Fest (AYF)”. Even I was very much excited regarding the fest because I hadn’t attended one ever before. The second sem was a bit relaxed as I had made some friends and it was comparatively a shorter semester implying less assignments, less lectures and so less work.
The semesters then passed by as if I were blinking my eyes. Looking back to what I was and what I have become, I see a whole new self of mine. I have grown up, a lot out of my experience. If I look back, I was an immature person who believed in having lots and lots of fun with my friends, unbalancing the relationships that existed in my life. To this journey of Amity, precisely being an Amitian, what I feel is a self-mature lad enough to take my own decisions, listen to people, take their advice whenever needed, have a good network and work with them. Amity has taught me a lesson that probably I couldn’t have realized and that is “It’s your life, make it or break it”.
Last but not the least, I along with my fellow mates has grown into a self of dignity and respect with heads up in the sky and feet still on the ground.
