Hello sir, I want to get admission for graduate program but I was quite confuse between Jamia Millia Islamia university and AMU? Will you please tell which one is best?

Sorry to say you but both are disqualified by the laws governing. As per my suggestion you can get admission in another university. For your satisfaction here I’m giving you detail of both university.

The laws governing Jamia and AMU don’t disqualify non-academicians from the VC post; they are as entitled as any to head the two universities.


Jamia Millia University was established by nationalist Muslim leaders in 1920. Its campus is located in South Delhi.

The university provides undergraduate, graduate, and postgraduate courses. Jamia Millia Islamia, an institution originally established at Aligarh in United Provinces, India in 1920 became a Central University by an act of the Indian Parliament in 1988.


Aligarh Muslim University (AMU), was from 1980, AMU has had eight VCs (excluding Acting VCs), of whom six (or 75 per cent) belonged to the IAS, IFS or the Army.

Its current VC is Lt Gen (retd) Zameeruddin Shah, who is a former Army commander of repute and, from all accounts, an honourable man. But he seems to have mistaken AMU for a military cantonment or else he wouldn’t have chosen a retired brigadier as the Pro-VC and a former group captain as the Registrar.


Jamia became a central university in 1988, it has had six VCs, of whom three, or 50 per cent, belonged to either the Indian Administrative Service or the Army.
