Amrita is a place of ‘problem solvers’. Every person we interact with will be busy working on projects or research which solves the issues of a larger population.I must say, the faculties are always ahead of the technology trends.Their guidance during my studies made me so confident in choosing the right technology on my entrepreneurial journey.My alma mater also allowed me to interact with many industry veterans, CEOs, and experts through their industry connect programs. Amrita – An amazing place to study, and start!
I owe a lot to Amrita faculties for my technological knowledge and problem-solving skills. They have a profound understanding of what they teach, and how it should be implemented in real-life scenarios.The projects we worked on at Amrita were on deep real-life issues impacting many people.I found myself lucky to have associated with many mentors at Amrita who are highly successful in their respective fields. Their guidance was immense. ‘Wannapreneur’ to ‘Entrepreneur’? Amrita is the right place.”
Amrita speaks loud about its grandeur,success and perfect way of moulding every student to be better humans. Here at Amrita, I was able to understand my strengths and weaknesses and improve myself in every aspect with the right mentorship and guidance from my teachers and the department as a whole.All you need is spark and they will turn that into fire. In just a span of 2 years i have a number of titles and skills to add to my name, a tremendous change that can happen to a fresher. Time is never a factor in Amrita, if you are willing to work. My heartfelt gratitude goes to all amrita faculty and staff for the best care and support
To pursue my graduation at Amrita is the righteous decision I have ever made. The rigorous training offered here in cutting edge technologies by eminent faculty helped me to equip myself for industry 4.0 revolution.There are various clubs within the campus like bi0s, foss, code@amrita which helps you excel in fields like cybersecurity, competitive programming, Artificial Intelligence & Data Science etc
Joining Amrita has been one of the best decisions I have made till date, because it has holistically molded me into a socially productive person, more than just a knowledgeable student. The BCA program here not only helped in laying my foun-dational skills, but introduced me to the current trends and updates in the industry, varying from widely used data science applications to aggressively researched artificial intelligence. Being a very dynamic sector, staying up to date is of prime importance, and at Amrita I am confident that I am industry ready for any given day.
Amrita provides the students with best curriculum including new subjects leading in technology. As per my experience students have come up with great projects ideas with the support of the faculties let be any field like development of robotics or Artificial Intelligence. Other than academics it also has many other clubs like FOSS Club, Cisco, etcetera. that students can join after college hours, provide extra knowledge on other technical subjects.There are brilliant opportunities that help students to gain professional experience in their field of interest. They also provide the students with placements in Top Companies of India. It’s one of the best private institutions in India.
BCA at Amrita changed my life. Being an average student with a lot of interest in computers, I took up the 3 year degree at Amritapuri campus and I was in for a surprise. The courses were well-structured and focused primarily on real-world applications of various computer technologies and languages. Almost every major subject had practical, hands-on labs. I met some of the most amazing professors in my life at Amrita. The impeccable ecosystem of everything computers and technology is on exhibit at Amrita. I had the opportunity to pursue my career in cybersecurity as a part of India’s top computer security club from a university, called Team bi0s. From giving talks at meetups, travelling to remote villages to conduct workshops, hosting India’s biggest CTF event – InCTF to presenting my open source project at one of the top conferences in the world: BlackHat & training fellow explorers in the cybersecurity domain, I grew from a normal student to the university gold medalist across 3 campuses of Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham. The learning and the journey associated with it was nothing short of an eye-opener for me. Today when people ask me what stream I come from, I contentedly say I’m a BCA graduate from Amrita and it puts a bright glow on my face. Everytime.
