“- An extremely useful thing at AIMT was the requirement of giving presentations...this has definitely been one of the most useful things I have picked up for my career...a very important skill to learn and perfect. Eventually, at conferences or generally, it is your presentation and how you deliver it that speaks about your work to a large audience.
- AIMT had a relaxed and not very regimented way of designing courses and letting us study. The standard of the examination was good and made sure we would have to cover the whole syllabus no matter what !

- Because of such informality between teachers and students, it became rather easy to maintain a stable working relationship in my career with other teachers. The environment at AIMT was relaxed enough for easy communication and yet strict enough to have a certain level of discipline. This is something very useful when you go anywhere later on for further studies.”

“AIMT (Amity Institute of Microbial Technology) offers a great program for those who are willing to work hard and wish to be challenged.  They provide an excellent alternative for those who are self-motivated and for those who are willing to work hard and put in the time to achieve success.  There is a working independence to everything.  The faculty and all of those at AIMT were extremely polite.  I found there was a unique one-to-one type of interaction in the University and the closeness of all the staff and students in the department is one of the greatest assets in AIMT.
My experience as a Master’s student in AIMT (Amity Institute of Microbial Technology) was fun but challenging, and I was always asked to be critical in my thinking and understanding of the scientific and analytical approaches. The lecturers, seminars by reputed scientists, global exposure and personal tuition I have had over the past two years in AMITY has enabled me to not only grow as a Microbiologist, but also the community feel to the department as a whole has made me feel AIMT as my second home.
Thanks for everything.”
