Remarks

It's a good college but you have to work hard from your end also. No one will spoon feed you.

Course Curriculum Overview

4

The exam structure can get hectic at times. Every paper has three internal assignments, two surprise tests, two mid-semester tests, one quiz, two lab practical tests. At the end of every semester, final exams are held with a 60 mark paper of each subject. The question paper is set by the university and answer scripts are checked not by college teachers but at the university levels.After answer sheets are checked, one can take a look of their sheets to recognize their mistake. Even then you are not satisfied with checking you can apply for the rechecking of the sheets. Re-checking is very less time-consuming. Results are declared within a month. For students who have to participate in recruitment drives, students have to choose tpp in their 5th semester. In tpp sessions students are basically groomed. Improvement of their soft skills are the main focus along with their reasoning skills. Tpp sessions are held every alternate saturdays from 9:30 am to 4:30 pm and the management is quite strict about these sessions. Students having less then 90% attendance in these sessions get debarred from tpp. Till the time of filling the form one industrial visit are organized for the students.

Facility of RTGS is also availabe. It's up to the students how they want to submit their fee.

Fees and Financial Aid

I've taken education loan and the process is very simple. You just have to visit loan office situated in Block 9 of main campus and ask them for bonafide certificate and fee structure. After that you have to give those two documents aforementioned to the bank and do all the process of bank and they will sanction you loan. Loan amount will be sent to college account by bank and then you have to go Block 3 accounts department. There you have to fill information regarding the payment like amount, account no of college in which money has been sent etc and give it to the counter and that's it. Now coming to scholarship, you can avail scholarships upto 50% on academics depending on your class 12th score or your score in the entrance exam.

Campus Life

4.5

Chandigarh University has a very very lively campus with students from all over the country and from foreign countries too. The diversity and their individual personalities create an enriched atmosphere. People are open to debate and discussion and are mostly gender sensitive. You'll find all kinds of people here, that's what makes it a real learning experience. College has more than 20 societies for which however you will have to go spend extra time in college. Whatever interests you have, rest assured you can join a society and meet like minded people.The exam structure can get hectic at times. Every paper has three internal assignments, two surprise tests, two mid-semester tests, one quiz, two lab practical tests. At the end of every semester, final exams are held with a 60 mark paper of each subject. The question paper is set by the university and answer scripts are checked not by college teachers but at the university levels.After answer sheets are checked, one can take a look of their sheets to recognize their mistake. Even then you are not satisfied with checking you can apply for the rechecking of the sheets. Re-checking is very less time-consuming. Results are declared within a month. For recreation purpose, we have games club where we sit back and play. There is also free WiFi in our college.

Hostel Facilities

4.5

Yes, i had opted for the hostel facilities. The facillites university hostel provide are very good. They provide 5 seater to single seater room. The house keeping is been done everyday and also the food provide in mess is also of good quality. In mess they provide four time meal. Hostel fee are 77000 for 5 seater and 85000 for 4 seater, my suggestion is to choose 5 seater beacuse they are less expensive and have good facilities. The rooms are well furnished and there are facilities for drinking water and duct cooling for summers. The rooms are cleaned by university appointed maid staff as housekeeping incharge. The rooms are entirely cleaned by moving all the furniture every semester end.

Alumni/Alumna

Well they are very supportive and they always guides us about what to do and what to avoid. Even our college organizes events every six months in which some senior students and alumni share their experiences.

Admission

I had got my admission on the basis of 10th and 12th score. However, now the scheme has changed. Now, the students have to pass a University exam known CUCAT, which also helps them secure a good scholarship. I registered their online form for admission and got a call from them in a few days. They ask me about my field of interest in Computer science i asked them to kindly give me cse with specialization in AI and ML but they said seats are already full for both the courses so i was allotted without in cse without any specialization subject. The admission team will explain you each and every things related to admission process and also their is a counselling process face to face with their experts which helps you to choose the write course and branch. Filled up the basic admission forms with a proof of my identity and other documents such as mark sheets. The basic structure is also very simple and great which helps here to interact with the hierarchy easily.

Faculty

3.5

Faculty of the college is highly informative and knowledgeable. The college has one of the best faculties in CU for Engineering. From the core subjects to the electives the teachers are highly qualified and never cease to help students in any matter be it related to academics future prospects or personal issues.There were Assignments and semester exams for the very semester. The courses offered were difficult and demanded proper attention in lectures. The number of lectures in a day with the addition to involvement in societies left me very tired every day but with proper time management both could be balanced efficiently. For those who didn't get involved in extracurricular activities, the days were a bit less tiring for them.The curriculum is detailed and deeply engaging.CU has a number of societies and cells where a student can join and shape er personality over the course of 4 years in college.

Placement Experience:

Students generally become eligible for placement from 7th semester, with numerous major companies like wipro,cognizant and various tech startups visit the campus with various offers. The university sees a high percentage of students getting placed.The package are widely depending on various skill and codes. Furthermore while the highest package looks impressive on paper, the avg package remains modest for the majority of the batch. My personal plans after getting the degree focus on exploring independent entrepreneurial ventures rather than tradition corporate placement.

Placement Experience:

Placements are not that good. Although companies come, there is a lack of mass recruiters or reputed organizations. One has to grind hard here for placements. If you're a CS student, you will have to face immense competition here. As for core branches, placements are severely dry. Students gets eligible in 4th year onwards for placements. Some of recruiters here are Trident, TCS, Reliance, Sonalika and other few. Every company offers around 10-15 selected students for a job. Highest package ever was 15LPA and average is 3.2LPA. Percentage placed is only around 15% here. My plans after the degree are to apply for govt exams.

Course Curriculum Overview:

The interest in coding influenced me to choose this subject and course. The curriculum gets me ready for a 9-5 job which kind of gets hectic. The teachers could maybe schedule classes to give the students time to study what they want to and if they wish to do a course outside the university they have the time to do so rather than just going by the university curriculum
