Aligarh Muslim University has revised the membership and hiring fees for the clubs run by the University Games Committee. If you are an AMU student, the good news is that your yearly membership fee stays the same for most clubs, while staff, children of employees and outside organisations will pay more.
The new rates were approved by the Executive Council at its meeting on 25 August 2026 (Item No. 22). An office memo from the Registrar’s office (Councils Section), dated 5 October 2026 and signed by Registrar Prof. Aasim Zafar, was uploaded to the AMU notices page on 7 November 2026.
