Life at Amity- by Suveshi Sharma

Life at Amity


By Suveshi Sharma
It was not long ago when we were teenagers high on emotion, just out of the school, that was the time when it seemed there’s a lot to accomplish but the way to get there was hazy, not so clear and for most of us was full of confusion! Even though we had chosen fields and disciplines of our choice, but the doubt whether or not it’s correct filled our brains. At that time, there came our guardian, it clearly promised us to nurture our talent, discover it, polish it, and create wonders out of it and it would not be wrong to say that our guardian, our Alma mater “Amity University” did stand by all of these!
          Today my friends as we gather in here to take a look back at the four memorable years of our graduation which is round the corner, soon to be one of the most precious moments of our life does make us nostalgic and proud both at the same moment. Life at Amity dates back to the July of 2010 when we all were strangers looking for friends, opportunities to showcase our capabilities, loads of fun, and to add a meaning to our professional and personal lives both. New to this institute, the weeklong Orientation program brought us to face with our batch mates, our faculty and the not so likeable grading system. The best part of the entire program was the Ice Breaking Session which was all about having fun with our batch mates. 

          Last four years have been full of ups and downs, but one thing that everyone of us is going to agree with is that we have learnt that any hurdle, no matter how big it is can be won over by the right sportsman spirit, don’t worry people I am not deviating from the topic, so we all know how true it is that Amity has made us capable of generating great results even if we are assigned tasks at a moment’s notice!  Turning back to the fun filled hysterical times with our batch mates on occasions like Fresher Parties, Military Camp, hostel life, going out for movies, at conferences, just whiling away time in the class, asking the faculty to cancel the class, making fun of each other, hanging out at the H block, last minute group studies, deciding what to dress in at the never ending season of parties , being a  freelance therapist for our friends giving them career advice, dating advice even though hardly any of us knows what’s right or what’s not, all of these are going to stay with us throughout our lives, for life at Amity has truly been splendid, fast, always on the go, something that’s right now making us wish that we could stay back for some more time but for the right reason. But now that we take a step ahead, let us all promise that we will always be an Amitian in our hearts!

AN EXTRAORDINARY EXPERIENCE OF MY COLLEGE LIFE


As soon as we turn 18, we are filled with aspirations, fear, excitement and the adrenaline rush to be a part of college life and make it memorable for a lifetime. Mine was no different. I have used this platform to make a few but best of friends, gather the courage to present myself, be an extrovert and use the knowledge in real life applications.
July 2010 performed a 360 degree turn in my life. The environment was no more protective, I had to take care of myself for the most little of issues. College was unlike school where classmates usually were of the same thinking level as I was of. Here, everyone was different in terms of the places they came from, the lifestyles they led and of course their perspective of judging matters. Adjustment thus became a must. From the first day at college, we were put through ice-breaking sessions that helped us interact with one another; bridge courses that made us revise the subjects we were already familiar with and assignments that judged our skills in Computers.
I am a part of dual degree which definitely led to additional subjects of MBA along with the usual ones we studied each semester. Initially, this was a little exhausting as we worked six days a week instead of five, but slowly I realized my potential in the subjects that were taught and it was no more a routine for us. With studies, results tagged along which definitely improved in my case as I realized the importance of a good score.  
Friends and fun have made these past years thrilling than everbefore. It’s been a ride of a roller coaster with incredible people like RaghavShashankShubham and Archit who made sure that I didn’t feel left out in the worst of situations. Yes, I have watched back to back movies. Yes, I have feasted on food. Yes, I have screamed my lungs out while I danced and sang along with everyone else. But only because I had to make sure that these years left me with some of the greatest memories, forever friends and best of all worlds so that whenever I looked back, I would not stop smiling.
Adios!

When four years are like a few days

Respected faculties and my fellow classmates, a very good morning to you. Standing before you is a rush of mixed emotions. With the feeling of disbelief that this day finally arrived along with the happiness of being able to use Er. before my name, this day has it all. Four years of this journey have been life changing for me. In the thread of my life, I added some wonderful beads of memories in these years. May 2010, around this very time I entered the college for the interview. As I remember asking the college students at that time regarding the eating joints available to us, I realise how far I have come. 

First semester was a total turmoil for me. From being totally dependent on the parents for every single need I was all by my self here. It was like being thrown from a swimming pool to an ocean. I learnt a very important lesson at that time, making friends is easy but retaining them is tough. In other words one can say that not everyone you think is your friend. Moreover, to my fellow mates who find humour by making fun and getting themselves mocked in a healthy manner, DO NOT attempt it elsewhere. I found it the hard way. Back in my home town, everyone laughed at the jokes that used them as a base punchline and you were expected to do the same when you are the victim of the humour. The culture difference was way more than my expectation here. Instead of laughing, people here stored all those jokes deep in their memory and planned an appropriate revenge thereafter. In a different story altogether, I'd like to mention that EVS class in which Nidhi Gaubha Madam made me CR of the class accidentally. Now, to all those who think CRs enjoyed a special position, you, my friends cannot be more wrong. All that CRship does is increases the expectations of the teachers from you. With the love hate relationships began this wonderful journey of four years.

Second semester was a total shocker for me. Some computer languages were introduced as subjects and most of the class had already done it in their matriculation. Unfortunately, teachers were also aware of this fact. All I could do is sit in the class dreaming of what if I could stab the teacher. Second sem was also unique in the way that I became a hosteller around that time. Whining over love life of some friends was a daily routine. Somehow I managed to pass that semester too. Yes, I am still proud I cleared something called Data Structures, Deutche and what not.

Second year was altogether different. Things started getting smoother, I was settling down. After spending some 6k bucks in learning C++, I kind of enjoyed classes by then. One important lesson I learnt in that year was, people who know how to make their way around can achieve much more than the ones who work hard. Or at least that is what people believe. Being the CR, I had to visit PL pretty often. That combined with the fact that I was lucky (Nothing else), people thought that I manipulated my teachers for marks, complained against them. I don't care if anyone believes this or not, I did NOT gossip about my fellow classmates with the teachers. After all these years, I find it amusing to even think about it. I also found the actual friends at this time. Some people I will always be in touch with no matter what. Some, who affected my life, changed me for good and a little bad too. 

As I mention the THIRD year, I am sure some of my classmates will have a huge grin on their faces. Third year was something in which I became all together a new boy. With the zeal of exploration of different dimensions of this world I began that year. Undoubtedly, that was the second best time of my life. First was the upcoming semester. It was like having everything that I ever wanted with me. From the point where I was afraid to leave my PG room after 10, I came to a place where I went to the railway station for practically nothing around 1 in the night with one of my friend. It was the time when subjects were no more known to anyone in my group. We now knew how to pass every exam no matter what. For all those who think Engineering is a big gun and is very difficult, I would say, give it a shot. In no time you'll be done with the four years. I made up a theory in third year that I followed by heart. --I won't remember Java, DBMS, OS after some 30 years, but I'll remember that I once told my teacher that I was late in the class because, "Metro ke aage kutta aagya tha"-- So, its all about gathering as many memories as you can in these four years because no matter where you will be after this, these years are never gonna come back.

Fourth year of my college life was the most free time possible here. Only 2 subjects to study and that also with unlimited options of ODs. I still remember that in 8th semester while chit chatting in the class one of my friends said, "its only 1 month till the college is working". That moment was a real eye opener for me. I realised that no matter how much one curses his/her college life, no matter how much they claim they hate it, these golden years just went by. 

Without taking any more time and making it difficult for both of us, I'd like to take a leave with a final note. To all the friends I made here, I love you guys. To all the enemies I made here, I love you guys too. For you hadn't been there, I would have never known myself.

Maths is not only around us but with us . Its an inseparable part of our live . want to know how  :

Interesting facts

§  Average adult heart beats 72 times a minute , 100000 times a day, 3600000 times a year an 2.5 million times during a life time.

§  A healthy heart pumps 2000 gallons of blood each day

§  The heart  produces enough energy to drive a truck 20 miles.

§  A human body has about 5.6 liters of blood which circulates through body 3 times every minute.

Maths in Pacemaker

A pacem maker is a small device which is placed in abdomen or chest to help control abnormal heart rhythms . Using electrical impulses it helps the heart to beat at a normal rate. .Its invention has increased the survival rate of humans.

Mathematical modeling and heart

§  Mathematical models are used in electrical conductance , excitation and muscle contraction which can extend value of diagnostic  measurements and planning of treatment of heart failure.

§  Mathematical modeling is used to measure stress distribution in human body.

Math in exercise

Exercise uses up a lot of energy which the cells derive from oxidizing glucose . Both oxygen & glucose have to be delivered by blood, which means heart has to beat faster than normal. When we do vigorous exercise heart rate can increase dramatically which in turn can result in an increase in blood flow.

Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen! Respected chancellor maam,director  sir and all the other professors, and my dear friends. I am standing here to talk about what defines Amity.
From the very first day,when I had enetred college as a fresher with no idea about the new world that awaited me, Amity had shown me that my decision of being a part of the amity family was a  good one . While I was aware of Amity's magnificance since i did my schooling from there ,i was yet to see all Amity had to offer .

Amity gives you the platform for you to invent and reinvent yourself everyday from the ample opputrunities and platform it provides its students ,to the warmth and nurture given by it .

The one thing il take back from this institution is will  be the point about believing in oneself and trusting your dreams ,because if you believe in yourself then no obstacle can stop you from achieving those dreams.

2 months from now im going to miss all this ,giving farewell speeches ,seeing teary eyed classmates infront of me, proud faculty and this moment .As i stand here one last final time,all im going to say are two words . Thank You !

The Happy Circus

The story written by Aksh Gupta, a student of class 8, is based on a poor little boy Ramu who survived by earning little money by showing tricks and acrobats on the streets. One day he got an opportunity to join ‘Happy Circus’ which wanted acrobats to show their talent. As he was on his way, instead of travelling on the road, the van shot up above the clouds and entered into a tent with strange creatures. He was scared to be amongst those creatures but he continued his work. Years later, Ramu saw a dwarf in the circus. He questioned about him and he came to know that the circus is God’s organisation to help needy children and animals on the street. Aksh tried to portray his belief in God through this short story. He believes that God has something in store for everyone.


God’s Creativity

It is a poem written by Paluk Gupta of class 6. The poet questions God about the secrets of the earth that how did God make the earth so beautiful and how did God think about everything present on it. The student deeply understands and appreciates the beauty of nature and colours on earth.


The Global Times

It is a poem written by Vanya and Paluk of class 4. They both try to elaborate about the newspaper ‘The Global Times’. They both feel that it is the best newspaper of all time because they can relate to all that is written in it.


Banana Cake

Pranjal Jain also known as the ‘Little Chef’ gives a recipe of a banana cake. Everyone who loves to cook and eat must definitely check out the recipe.

4 years in Amity

Good morning esteemed Founder president Sir, respected HODs and faculties and my dear friends. My name is Saurabh Sharma, and I am a student of the 4 year full time course of Computer Science and Engineering of the reputed Amity School of Engineering and Technology. It is my honour to be standing on this stage because today marks the end of my 4 years at Amity University. The last 4 years have been filled with a variety of experiences and happenings. But most of all, it has helped me grow and become the person I am today.


I am  graduating B.Tech in Computer Science & Engg from Amity School of Engg & Technology find great pleasure in sharing with you all, my journey at Amity University. These four years in Amity have been the driving force in my life. I came in Amity University as a person who would study normal but lagging in other spheres of life. I was nervous in earlier days of the college due to a major shift in environment.
But, as time passed by, I developed great courage and personality in my life. I grew not only in the technical sphere by polishing various Computer Science subjects but also personally via help of various Value Added Courses our college provides such as Communication Skills, Behavioral Science and Foreign Business Language(GERMAN). 

I was a normal student scored always average pointers,but i was always keen to learn new things. 

The major change comes into my life is now i try to understand things with my understandings as well as the behavioral ethics and skills taught by my teachers.
I can solve many issues and problems in my life with these techniques like solar system activity,johari window etc.

There were  times also when I had to study about eight hours in a day,only before the exam night and also when i had to do projects in technical arena but our deep understanding and support by the faculty members helped us cross all barriers. I am really thankful to my faculties for the utmost support, guidance and the values they fed in me.
I am also thankful to my dearest friends & class fellows who have motivated and helped me throughout my journey at Amity and made my journey even better and joyful.

 I would again thank all people involved in my journey at Amity and special thanks to my parents for all love and support. My journey at Amity has been a wonderful story. Hope you all have a bright, healthy and happy future.

Thank you for listening to me. 

Happenings in class - 19th February

Hello all, here I am once again to tell you about the things that happened today in class. And this time, I am writing live ! :P

The class started with the group discussion that was due for quite sometime now. Last week it didn't take place due to the class test. Everyone in class took active participation in the discussion and some worth noting points emerged. Some of the topics that were discussed were - Three A's of Amity - Attendance, Assignment and Amizone, Is it possible to inculcate values in people and Technology(Social Media) in Education.

The out come of the first topic was that Attendance was unanimously chosen as the most important followed by Assignment and Amizone respectively. Attendance was most important because there is a compulsory requirement of 75% , without which students aren't allowed to sit for exams.

So that was all that happened today. You shall see some more posts coming on the blog soon...
Have a great day !

From stranger to family !


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.            
It was thus a great journey at amity full of memories and cherished moments shared with friends, faculty and my fellow classmates  which has in turn added value to my time here at amity .The time spent in classes ,h block and my special corners in the campus i discovered over the years here be it the sprawling lawns or the stairs near the ground .From giving me amazing memories to live with ,amity has also given me lovely teachers as my mentors to guide me through the years and also classmates who will now be my lifelong friends .Amity thus gives you ample oppurtunities and platform to reinvent yourself with every passing day .                                                    
  I was a stranger but after the beautiful journey here at amity i feel like i belong here .Amity doesnt let you be a stranger ,it turns you into a part the family .An Amitian!

THE AMAZING FOUR YEARS AT AMITY

Good Morning to all of you, I ,Taskeen Kamaal, of the graduating batch of 2014 is here to describe my experience of four years at the reputed institution ,Amity University. It feels like these years have passed in just a blink of the eyes.

Everyday at the college was a new experience, we figured out ourselves each and everyday, making friends, bunking classes, giggling and chatting in H-block, doing every idiotic and fun thing that will make us laugh so hard that stomach pain starts.

I can never forget my first day at Amity walking past through those big gates at gate-1, when I first came here for my interview, only one thought coming to my mind “How much will I have to walk more?” . Besides that I was wondering that this might be the college that I will get into and start a new life of being a college student and eventually I did .

The first day in the college I was very nervous but excited to meet new people and welcome those new faces into my life. My classmates were very welcoming and polite which made me a little less nervous. The first year of college was a very hectic one, having classes straight from 9 to 6 , abundance of homework, running here and there for labs and classes from one room to another. In the first year every one was deep into studying and getting good grades but as the days went buy each and everyone started enjoying the college life more than spending time for studies.

As the second year started, the burden of studies began decreasing andclasses became more fun as the actual engineering computer subjects started, which also we bunked and flew off to GIP, parantha points, cafeterias, the most crowded and happening H-block.

As the third and fourth year came , we all had made friends for life, some unbreakable bonds were made which will remain in our life ahead for a long time. There were also obstacles in between these relationships but everything came to a good end.
The last year came and everybody was immediately worried about the placements and the major project work, all have had ended these successfully and didn’t forget to let them affect our “FUN” time, and we continued to have blast.

Still it is unbelievable that these extremely good and memorable days are coming to an end. Whatever obstacles,difficult situations, problems came we will still remember the BEST part of this college life and will cherish it forever. And also will keep everyone in our hearts the best friends, the friends, teachers, even foes, who made this experience a really wonderful one.

I would like to end my speech from a quote from Ally Condie:

“Growing apart doesn’t change the fact that for a long time we grew side by side; our roots will always be tangled. I’m glad for that.” 

Farewell Speech



Respected founder, teachers and friends, 

They say college changes people. After 4 years in Amity University, I know it has certainly changed me. And for the better. I came in as a nobody, and now I’m leaving as someone who’s made something of himself. And I’m indebted to this institution for providing the opportunities that aided in that evolution.

Among the first things I remember after joining was my need to belong. What made Amity so different from school was the people. The vast variety of personalities from all over India brought together under one roof. We were different in so many ways, and yet, I felt compelled to get along with everyone. In a way, I learnt how to empathize. I’ve had to abandon some of my old principles, but at the same time, I’ve developed a few good ones. Ones that now define me. In that search for integrity, there’s no denying that there were a couple of rough patches here and there. There are moments I’m not too proud of, but I’m glad I was able to experience and learn from them. 

I’m also quite pleased with the exposure I’ve received in Amity. A little recognition goes a long way. I've had the chance to attend a week long learning program conducted by Victor Udoewa,  a marvelous and inspirational instructor from Google itself. I've worked in a Technical Outsourcing project involving interactions with management teams residing in the US. I’ve attended numerous seminars and conferences. But most of all, it was my rewarding venture with Attendance Planners that really put faith in my abilities.

I’ve also met some extraordinary people in my time in Amity. People whom I respect deeply. People I’m indebted to. People I can always lean on when I’m down. People who continue to amuse me. People I call friends and mentors at this point. Ones I intend to keep in contact with even after we go our separate ways.

My stay in Amity University has given me more than memories alone. It has given me a sense of purpose and identity.

Thank you

Best days of my life at AMITY 

A very good morning to esteemed founder president Sir, respected HODs, faculties and my dear friends. I welcome you to this final farewell function of batch 2010-2014. The time has come when we shall say our goodbyes to each other with a very beautiful chapter of our lives coming to an end.
It was a great experience being here. Four years I learnt many things now when I look back I feel the changes. It’s the similar feeling I had when I passed out from school four years back, how time changes and how life keeps on moving without a pause. People come, people go, we laugh we cry. Some really low moments, Some really high. Life is so beautiful in its own way. In my last 4 years of B.Tech I met many people, I was attached to many. And worked and enjoyed with everybody. I have learnt how to meet deadline by completing a week long assignment overnight. All those group tasks which compelled us to stay up all night with our whatsapps on. All those frequent semester exams.

My first day at college is an important event of my life. For me it is an unforgettable day which will remain in my mind forever. During my school days, I heard lot about college life from my elder sisters and brothers. I was curiously awaiting for the day when I would start my college life. Everyone always told me that college is so much fun, and it is so much easier than high school. I dreamed of the college life that I would have. I have realized, with this in my first year in college, that the life in college is beautiful as well as challenging

These 4 years of my life were really good. I know what I have learnt I can sense the changes in me. I met some really great people. I was encouraged, appreciated, criticized and discouraged time to time. In the first semester I was not satisfied with my result I was upset. But that semester taught me to learn and become better with every step. Moment when I was encouraged was the fifth semester when I scored very good marks. There are so many people who were always there for me as a life supporting system
Everybody expects from their family because they are the people sent by God for us. It’s very difficult to find people outside family from whom you can expect. And I am one lucky person. I met such people at every step of my life.We had lots of fun on the campus. We were noisy, unruly, and had our share of excitements. We used to treasure our free periods when we did not have the classes. The campus had lots of food joints in H-Block, whenever we got a free period, we enjoyed there.

It is feel like that yesterday, I have joined my college. Only few days remain after which, we all have to put our first step in the corporate world. So, All the best and keep smiling.  


Thank you!

4 years at Amity by jaganjot kaur

A very good morning to all of you. On behalf of all my batch mates I welcome you to this final farewell function that has been organized for us. The time has come when we shall say our final goodbyes to each other with a very beautiful chapter of our lives coming to an end. Today we will have a few students to share some of their experiences with us.
Four years ago when I entered this university I had no idea of what lay ahead of me. It was the first time I had left the safe boundaries of my home and parents and entered into a new world totally. I was afraid, not knowing what to do where to go an whom to ask ; even asking someone for a direction seemed to be so difficult. My first week at Amity was a scary experience.
As days went by things became better. I made new friends and moved around with them. In the first semester we were very ideal students doing everything on time and in the correct manner and also enjoyed ourselves a little. As we moved into the higher semesters it became more of enjoyment and less of studies. As a result during our semester exams we had to study a bit too much. This was how my college life was going on. On a personal level I improved a lot. Having to make all the decisions on my own with no one to turn to and also bearing the consequences of the wrong choices I made transformed me to an all new level. I became more responsible and level headed. I learnt to face challenges and the negativities of this world.
Though all the years spent here are special in their own way but my final year at Amity is the one I shall remember and miss the most. In the last year we had very few subjects and had a lot of free time so we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.
With just two months to go before we say our final good bye to this wonderful institution I have realized that one of the best phases of my life is coming to an end. How I hope and wish that time could just stop here! Amity has given me great experiences and some of the most memorable moments of my life. Running like madmen to make it on time to the first lecture, copying assignments, begging the teachers to free us before time and just sitting for hours together in the H block without anything to do; I am going to miss all of it. Last but not the least I would like to thank our president Mr. Chauhan, staff members, sub staff members and my lovely friends for making my stay at Amity a wonderful one. You people have made me realise that life is indeed beautiful so d the best you can.

Thank You

4 years of Amity = n number of lessons

A very warm good morning to respected Founder President, HOIs and faculty members. As we bid farewell to each other, I am experiencing a whole new unknown range of emotions. Here I’ll be sharing my wide range of experiences with AMITY UNIVERSITY. I am not here to criticize or appreciate the past four years of my life but I am here to speak the truth. Amity University Noida taught me “n number” of lessons; some were harsh while others were inspiring.  

After being in Amity, I have learnt how to give my best in the least time possible. Assignments, laboratory files and even Minor Projects—all these last minute efforts have given some sweet and bitter fruits.

The hectic time tables have given me a painful vision of my futuristic office hours. But I don’t blame those “time tables” anymore as they were at least helpful in giving me a “mock training” of my “future professional life”.

My rational being never permitted me to believe in the role of destiny but Amity made me believe in “the luck factor” which is highly distorted in my case. My hard work had never got its desirable recognition but now I have adopted a mantra
“Either I will win or learn, I will never loose”
Amity has helped me to “learn”, the winning part is still awaited. 

Nevertheless, Amity has provided with best infrastructure one can ask for and seriously no criticism in this matter. I HAVE LEARNT TO SEE THE BEST IN THE WORST IN AMITY.


Here I shall take my leave and wish you all a very promising future. Thank You.

4 years at Amity




A very  good morning to esteemed founder president Sir, respected HODs, faculty members and my dear friends. Words don’t come easy to me when it comes to speaking on an occasion like this. Throughout my college life, I’ve seen batches of students being bade farewell by the college and in all those times, I’ve feared the day when I’ll be among those stepping out of the doors of this institution for ever. Today, the time seems to have come for me too to make a transition from present to history.
An episode of my life is over, and perhaps the most important one, but the greatest happiness lies in the fact that it couldn’t have been more memorable. Today, as I’m here to bid you goodbye, I’d like to share a few of my experiences with you.

I guess most of remember the first day when we stepped into the college. When we were sitting and filling up some forms. We sat silently, rather than filing up those forms, we were sizing up each other. The place was unknown with an entirely different surrounding with a whole lot of new faces.
We have also given a lot away and I am not talking about the innumerable internal tests or the project submissions or applications for attendance. We have given away our immaturity and truly realise now how to be professional. It’s really heartening to see that most of us have started balancing our lives. I still remember our mischief in the class room, teasing each other, laughing out loud on a silly joke, reading a novel in maths class, eating other's lunch boxes before break, fighting on petty issues, , crying over each other's shoulders, and lot more which is hidden in deep in my heart and of everyone's around here. These memories are just too valuable. These walls of our classroom have known so many great moments of our friendship and fight; these walls are like our second home. Especially in the last two semesters. I have seen a lot of people have become serious about academics.
I take this farewell speech as an opportunity to thank those people, who in way or another have mixed up with my life, who made impact in my studies and made me see how beauty life can be. I take pride in my friends who have stayed beside me through the days of happiness and sadness and to the unending support of my teachers and their advices.
Thank You

MY JOURNEY AT AMITY UNIVERSITY

MY JOURNEY AT AMITY UNIVERSITY

Good Morning respected Dr Ashok Chauhan founder president Amity University, Prof Balvinder Shukla acting vice chancellor, Dr Abhay Bansal HOD (CSE), other HODs, faculty members, parents and my dear friends.

I, Ankit Uppal, graduating B.Tech in Computer Science & Engg from Amity School of Engg & Technology find great pleasure in sharing with you all, my journey at Amity University. These four years in Amity have been the driving force in my life. I came in Amity University as a person who would study well but lagging in other spheres of life. I was nervous in earlier days of the college due to a major shift in environment.
But, as time passed by, I developed great courage and personality in my life. I grew not only in the technical sphere by polishing various Computer Science subjects but also personally via help of various Value Added Courses our college provides such as Communication Skills, Behavioural Science and Foreign Business Language. I became a person who one can entrust both in personal & professional life.

There were some tough times also when we had to study about eight hours in a day and also when we had to do projects in technical arena but our deep understanding and support by the faculty members helped us cross all barriers. I am really thankful to my faculties for the utmost support, guidance and the values they fed in me.
I am also thankful to my dearest friends & class fellows who have motivated and helped me throughout my journey at Amity and made my journey even better and joyful.

I am happy to report that I had been shortlisted by Wipro as a technical engineer and great future is awaiting me. I would again thank all people involved in my journey at Amity and special thanks to my parents for all love and support. My journey at Amity has been a wonderful story. Hope you all have a bright, healthy and happy future.

Thank you for listening to me so patiently. Thank you. 

My Episodes of Life at Amity

A very  Good Morning to esteemed founder president Sir, respected HODs, faculties and my dear friends. I, Iti Tandon welcome you all  on behalf of the graduating batch 2014.
While I  was sitting with  my friends, I  had a feeling of eagerness, accomplishment and fear of exploring the unexplored . It was the very same feeling I  had four years back  when I had the orientation session in the very  same hall.
From the excitement of new pattern of studies, new environment, new friends, new fights to serious bouts of homesickness, the on- and off-campus party scene, the madness of college fests and everything else I encountered it all  as I got the first real taste of freedom aka ‘first year’ . First  year  taught me the importance of self discipline and policing. Day  long classes almost  killed the mischievous plans I had as a college fresher but I  got many  companions in my  misery who  gradually  became friends and later the only reason why I used to come to college.
By the starting of Second year , I was well  adjusted to  the college . As far  as academics concerned , I had my  ‘strategies’ to  pass subjects like mechanics and physics which I  failed to understand even  after several attempts and score good in other subjects that  could help  me in securing a decent ‘CGPA’ . I joined the literary club of my college which  gave me a chance to  learn and explore new things.
Third year got a ‘techie’ out of all  of us with  the months long internship and extra-credit projects. It gave us the exposure and experience that was needed for the survival in the corporate world waiting  ahead us. We were also acquainted with the hard work and dedication needed to get a  placement .  By that time, it was the fun of under-table ‘instagram-ing’, coping assignments, making lame excuses and excitement of valentine week that  kept us going   .With the onset of fourth year, the college burden got reduced to campus placement and successful completion of the major-project which had become a priority to each of us.

Today as my journey of graduating from amity has come to an end, I  can remember several moments of joy, knowledge , experience . I  met  mentors  who  taught and corrected me time and again. I have tones of moments of endless laughter and silly  fights. I have four year long journey which transformed me from a school  student  to  a  graduate ready  to a part  of the corporate world. I would like to thank  each one of you  for being a part  of ‘My Episode of Life At  Amity’ .

Life at Amity

I still  remember my first day in college.I was so excited in meeting new people. College felt like a liberation for me since I was far away from my family. It was my first time to be separated from them.I was really excited about everything new college,new friends and  the thing i was eagerly waiting for was my hostel life .Hostel life where to start from, i got my cute , sweet  and my closest friend in hostel ,my roommate. It was fun meeting  her.

The first week was introduction week,we had to introduce ourselves to the class.As each individual share a little something about themselves I learnt that we are all creative in our own ways.And we are all here to activate that creativity to achieve the best from it.From there I made new friends.Some share the same passion and some differently.But it's cool,our differences of interest are simply another thing that makes life more unique.College was fun after making new good friends hanging out with them, attending classes from 9:15 to 5:50 we all hated it but we had attend them .
Its a whole different vibe in college.It's not the same as high school.The freedom of not having to wear uniforms anymore.We can now wear whatever we want according to our own style cause no one's going to scold you.It was fun.First semester was boring soo many subjects to study like physics,chemistry ,maths the subject i hated the most. No classes to bunk strict teachers but slowly we discovered many new things and it was amazing. 

As the time progressed  we explored new hanging out places .I still remember the pressure of assignments and vivas before internals and majors,that panic stuations ,insanity that we go through exams .
I just cant believe that the 4 yrs of amity is coming to an end all the fun ,craziness,excitement before fest ...waiting for 1 to 2 hrs just to get a glimpse of a celebrity everything is comin to an end.good things come to an end .These memories are unforgettable i will cherish them whole my life and friends i made here will be my friends for lifetime.


About My college life...............

Good morning to respected HODs and faculties and dear friends .My name is Akansha Aggarwal .I am a part of Amity University for last four years. I am glad to share my college experience with all of you. It is very difficult to believe that the four years of college comes to an end.

First day of college? I still vividly remember my first day in college. I was so excited and nervous in meeting new people. It was a bit difficult at first to be with people I never knew. I didn't know how I should behave just to fit in. The atmosphere at Amity University is very cool and amazing. People came here from all around the world.

College life is way different from secondary school life. First week of college is orientation week. When the second week arrived I met some classmates. They are friendly. Every time we would meet up, we will never fail to recall how we were back in college.  As time passed on, staying up late nights and trying to finish last minute assignments was a weekly affair. The gathering we had is full of enjoyment.

I really enjoyed studying all the different subjects. During these four years at amity, I had the most fun in my life. During our final year, companies came for hiring and we were sitting for placements. We also had to make a major project during this time. This time is very stressful for me. It taught me the value of being organized and time management.

College is a dry run of the rest of my life. It's a training ground for me on how to be successful and become good people. It has a good as well as bad experience in my life .It taught me how to behave in different situations. It provides me the opportunity to communicate with different people. It brings a complete transformation in my personality. I will going to  miss those days throughout my life.

Thank you for your kind attention.    


4 Years in Amity University

A very good morning to all present here I am Gautam S. Prakash from 8CSE4. I hope that everyone's test went good. Unfortunately I was unable to attend the class, and so I missed the test. I am really hoping to be marked based upon the post that I am going to make on the blog.

So, today I stand before all of you, to walk you through my journey in Amity University. It was important for me to mention “University”, because I have been with Amity since class nursery, and to share my experience about “Amity” would mean asking all of you to bare with me for very long time.

Being an engineering student, I have been in the university for 4 years, and the experience has been amazing. I still very vividly remember my first day, in this huge campus. I entered from Gate No. 1, and had to take a long walk to E-block. I sat on the back seat at first, but then I thought it might give out a bad impression to the teachers, so then I shifted to the middle rows. Sitting among new faces, I was interacting with people around me, making new friends, being excited to attend classes. Well, the excitement soon faded away, after learning that we had classes till 6 that day.

First semester was very exhausting, not just because of the classes, but because as being new to the university, each day brought a new place to be explored in the university in the break as well as trying out different cafeterias in search for the best one amongst all. Exploring around the outer periphery of the university and trying out all the Maggie and Parantha points. Soon being well familiar with everything around, the routine set in, each day started to fly away. Assignments, vivas, and the busy time-table became a routine. Along with this, calculating attendance to bunk classes, and go out with friends used to be a part of the routine.

Soon the first semester passed by, and the second started. The main excitement that came along with the semester was the fest. Participating in every event possible, and staying back till 11 PM in the college to attend all the fests till the end, each day making memories, having fun with friends. It was all amazing.

As the semesters progressed, along came a lot of new experiences and excitements. From the happiness of subjects such as EVS, physics and chemistry going away and the main engineering subjects coming in, to being scared after being scolded my teachers for not completing the assignments, and from being scolded by marshals several times for not wearing i-card around the neck, each day some way or the other brought new experiences along with them.

Soon this place, became an integral part of our lives, the place started to feel like a second home. As the semesters progressed, the timing of classes started to shorten, but the timing of leaving the college still remained the same. If the classes got over early, going out to GIP and EOD, and then coming back to college and goofing around friends, it has all brought amazing experiences and memories that will be remembered forever.

Time just flew by, and today when I think about it, its hard to believe that it has already been 4 years, it just feels like yesterday I was walking in the campus for the first time, nervous as to how my experience will be.

Now as the journey is almost to the end, with the last semester going on, most of us knowing the next step ahead to be taken in life, and few of us still deciding, it's still hard to say goodbye to this place. The memories created, and the experience shared shall never be forgotten, and the bonds and friendships created to be maintained forever.
