I had been the part of Amity university weekend program(M.Tech. CSE Wknd) 2015-2017 and found this program a complete failure. Being a working professional, you want to get really up to date curriculum for all the subjects covered. However, this wasn't the case there.
In case you are not in town due to some official visit and your exams fall in that duration, university should be flexible enough to shift the exam dates in such cases especially for working professionals. Unfortunately, it wasn't the case there.
For all small things that can be done online, you are required to visit the university premises e.g. for fee submission, you has to be there in university.
Below are few highlights that warn you before taking admission into Amity University's weekend programs-
obsolete course content. However, they claim it's updated as they still live in 20's:)
lack of quality teaching. Faculties are not up to date as per the current market trends.
no flexible exam timings for working professionals. If you cannot attend the exam, you'll get failed.
75% attendance is must to appear in the exam for working professionals also. If you cannot attend the class due to some official reasons, it won't be considered.
for all trivial things, you need to visit university premises during weekdays. Obviously, you need to take leave from office for the same. University staff is not ready to understand that as all the staff is available on weekdays only.
Most of the administrative staff is from Ex. Army professionals. They don't understand the difference between "Full Time" and "Part Time" programs and want "Part Time" students to be available any time they want.
Even if you've enrolled for weekend programs, you are required to read "news boards" regularly. e.g. Last date of fee submission was changed and notice was put down on notice board. All weekend students could not read this info as they don't get time to read the notice board regularly. Late fee submission penalty was applied for such students. Again, typical Army personnel's monopoly.
