About AMU - Aligarh Muslim University

The Aligarh Muslim University (AMU) is one of the oldest premier Central Universities of India with a unique and rich culture of its own. It owes its existence to the selfless and untiring efforts of the great visionary Sir Syed Ahmed Khan. In 1875, he founded a High School at Aligarh, which; within three years, was raised to a College known as Mohammadan Anglo Oriental College that metamorphosed into Aligarh Muslim University in 1920 through an Act of Parliament. Today, AMU ranked 8th among Indian Universities. The University has 12 Faculties, each comprising of several Departments of Studies, including Medicine. It also maintains a number of Colleges, Institutes, Centres and Schools. Admissions in all the courses are done on the basis of rules framed by the Academic Council for each course as amended and enforced from time-to-time. The distinguishing feature of this University is its pre-dominant residential character. Students are normally allocated a Hall of Residence at the time of admission. A Hall of Residence is a cluster of hostels administered by a Provost and are centres of corporate life in the University encouraging self governance among students. Facilities such as Reading Room, Common Room, indoor and outdoor games are available in almost all Halls of Residence. Accommodation to students allocated a Hall of Residence will be provided as per the policy/rules laid down by the University, subject to the availability of seats in the hostel. Local students or those who are not desirous of residential accommodation are designated as non-resident students. Non-Resident male Students are allocated Non-Resident Students Centre (NRSC) while the female students are attached with one of the Hall of Residence for women students.

And BDS is offered at Dr. Ziauddin Ahmed Dental College with an intake capacity of 35 (+5 for NRI candidates). Every year the University conducts an entrance examination for admission to the courses, which is taken by the students from all over the country. Six test centres are offered for the purpose in different cities of India. The notification for the test is normally published in the month of January-February, in all the major National Newspapers. Besides that one can keep track of the official website of Aligarh Muslim University for the latest updates on exam notifications.
