What we could and couldn't verify

Amity's own blog names real Indian institutions (NITI Aayog, Observer Research Foundation, Centre for Policy Research) as places graduates 'could' target — this is Amity's own marketing framing, not an independently verified placement record; no evidence was found that any specific graduate has actually placed at these organizations. Separately, some aggregated web content surfaced US-dollar salary figures from a generic international public-policy careers source — these are not India-context data and are deliberately not used here. No credible, India-specific, program-verified salary figure was found for this program from any source.
