Which is better, AMU or NIT?
I was in a similar dilemma some years back. I ended up choosing AMU, but I am not happy with my decision. The placements at average level NITs like NIT Kurukshetra are much better than those at AMU.
I got placed for 3.5 LPA at a well known company. But my friend who studied at NIT Kurukshetra got a much higher offer from some other brand. It is better if you choose a good branch at a decent NIT, and master your subject. The ‘NIT’ tag holds a lot of prestige. Companies that visit both Jamia and AMU, offer better packages for the same roles to Jamia students.
Thus, I would strongly recommend you choose a decent NIT over AMU any day.
Which is better BHU or AMU?
BHU and AMU are sister concerns. Both institutes carry forward the same legacy so I don’t think they are comparable.
People usually want to believe that these biased universities will divide Hindus and Muslims and worsen their relations. But that’s not the case.
Both universities are loyal to their cause- Education.
As an AMU student, my sister loves her university. She has never visited BHU but she is sure BHU students love their university equally as well.
So I don’t think the two universities stand a chance of comparison when they both are equally good.

Which one should I go for, PGIMS Rohtak or AMU for an MBBS? My AIR is 4208 (Haryana domicile and UR).
PGIMS Rohtak is one of the top medical colleges in India and has better OPD, better infrastructure, better fests, and more SS seats than AMU. You will be surprised to know that it has a separate super-specialty building. However, on the flip side, PGIMS students have to serve a bond of 2 years after MBBS and also have a lesser stipend than AMU.
It is easier to get general medicine in PG at AMU with AIR-7000 just after completing MBBS while in Haryana clinical PG seats are only available in PGIMS. So it will be quite difficult to get a general medicine seat in Haryana. Moreover, the academic environment at the UG level in JNMC is pretty good even if PGIMS is superior in OPD and infrastructure
The fees charged by JNMC AMU are quite less in comparison to PGIMS Rohtak. Also, the institute does not have any caste-based reservation so the quality of the crowd is not compromised at all. Lastly, AMU is a completely ragging-free campus.
So choose according to your priority.
