Question 1

Is Amity University Noida a public or a private university?

Accepted Answer

It is private. Amity University Uttar Pradesh was created by the Amity University Uttar Pradesh Act, 2005, passed by the state legislature and notified through UP Gazette Notification No. 403/VII-V-I-I(Ka)/I/2005. The UGC's consolidated list of Indian universities records it as a private university at Sector 125, Noida 201313. It operates under the not-for-profit Ritnand Balved Education Foundation.

Question 2

Which Amity campus does this record cover?

Accepted Answer

The Noida campus at Sector 125, Gautam Buddha Nagar, which is the main campus of Amity University Uttar Pradesh. Amity is a multi-campus group that also includes separate state private universities in other Indian states and branch campuses in Lucknow, Greater Noida, Dubai and Tashkent. Every fee, eligibility threshold and selection process quoted here is taken from the Noida campus prospectus and does not carry across to those other institutions.

Question 3

What language are programmes taught in?

Accepted Answer

English. The Noida prospectus states that the medium of instruction is English and therefore makes English a mandatory subject at Class XII level. Undergraduate degrees also carry a compulsory four-part Foreign Business Language sequence in which the student picks one of Arabic, Chinese, French, German, Japanese, Russian, Sanskrit or Spanish. Those are additional language modules, not the teaching language of the degree.

Question 4

Do international applicants need IELTS or TOEFL?

Accepted Answer

Only where English was not a subject in the qualifying examination. In that case Amity requires TOEFL iBT 60 out of 120 or an IELTS band of 6.5, at both undergraduate and postgraduate level. Where English was studied, no separate language test is asked for. Academic transcripts must be submitted in certified English translation; transcripts in other languages are not accepted.

Question 5

What are the entry requirements for foreign applicants?

Accepted Answer

Amity applies the same academic eligibility to foreign applicants as to Indian residents. Undergraduate entry requires twelve years of formal schooling plus the programme-specific Class XII subject and percentage thresholds. Postgraduate entry requires twelve years of schooling followed by a bachelor's degree of at least three years' duration, and Amity notes that postgraduate admission is restricted and expects a strong academic record. Every foreign qualification also needs an AIU or UGC equivalence certificate.

Question 6

How does an international student apply?

Accepted Answer

Foreign applicants apply online only. The INR 1,500 application form fee is waived for foreign applicants. Receipt, shortlisting, selection-process scheduling, the admission letter and fee payment all run through the Amity admission microsite at portal.amity.edu. The international student counsellor is based in the Amity Admission Office, Block J2, Amity University Campus, Sector 125, Noida 201313, and is contactable at internationaladmissions@amity.edu.

Question 7

When do applications close and when does the academic session start?

Accepted Answer

For the 2026 cycle the last date for foreign nationals to submit the application form is 30 June 2026. Amity's Noida campus marked the start of the 2025-26 academic year with its Diksharambh orientation on 14 July 2025, which places the intake in July. The exact commencement date, time and venue for each admitted student is stated in the individual admission letter issued through the admission microsite.

Question 8

How much does it cost and how does the international fee work?

Accepted Answer

Foreign applicants are charged the Sponsored fee category. The Noida prospectus publishes first-semester Sponsored figures - INR 3,28,500 for B.Tech Computer Science and Engineering and INR 6,21,000 for the MBA, for example - and states that an academic year is two semesters and that fees rise by roughly 5 per cent a year. Amity's foreign-applicant page states that international students receive a 50 per cent scholarship for the whole course. Add a one-time academic security deposit of INR 20,000, and campus logistics costs if taken.

Question 9

Can the international scholarship be combined with a merit scholarship?

Accepted Answer

No. The prospectus states that a student cannot be in receipt of a combination of scholarship and concession, that only one type may be availed, and that the higher of the two applies. Published 2026 merit bands include 100 per cent for an International Baccalaureate score of 42 or higher, 50 per cent for 38-41, 100 per cent for SAT 1500 and above and 100 per cent for ACT 34 and above. No scholarship covers the refundable security deposit or boarding and lodging.

Question 10

What accreditation and recognition does the university hold?

Accepted Answer

The UGC lists it among India's universities, and Amity states that because it was established by a state Act it does not require separate AICTE approval. It is accredited by the WSCUC in the United States, first accredited in 2016 with the most recent commission action on 24 February 2023. QAA's 2023 International Quality Review concluded that the university meets all ten ESG standards and set no conditions. The Bar Council of India's approved list of Centres of Legal Education records Amity Law School Noida with approval to 2026-27. The university is also a member of the AIU and the Association of Commonwealth Universities.

Question 11

How did the university perform in the NIRF rankings?

Accepted Answer

In the Ministry of Education's NIRF India Rankings 2025, Amity University, Gautam Budh Nagar, Uttar Pradesh was ranked 22nd in the University category with a score of 59.68, 37th Overall with 57.49, 37th in Engineering with 58.53 and 49th in Management with 54.15. NIRF is published annually and positions move between cycles, so the ranking year always has to be read alongside the rank.

Question 12

What visa and registration steps apply after an offer?

Accepted Answer

A provisional offer is confirmed only against a student visa endorsed in the name of Amity University for full-time study and valid for the prescribed duration of the course; no other endorsement is accepted. A medical test report is due within a week of admission, together with adequate medical insurance cover. India's Bureau of Immigration requires registration with the jurisdictional FRRO within 14 days of arrival where the student visa runs beyond 180 days. Registration is free, but the FRO charges a penalty equivalent to US$30 for late registration.

Question 13

What accommodation is available and what does it cost?

Accepted Answer

Air-conditioned campus logistics accommodation for men and women is available on the Noida campus, with separate housing provided for international students. The published 2026 rate is INR 1,95,000 per year plus a one-time refundable security deposit of INR 15,000. Cafeteria meals are billed on actual consumption rather than included. Places are limited and allocated first come, first served, and a request is made either on the application form or through the admission office.
