Remarks

Just the thing that college is very strict for small things.

Course Curriculum Overview

Course curriculum was good. They even modify it when they think its really needed for the future generation. They have very vast number of courses. From thermodynamics to bio mechanical engineering all courses are there. It was fun to take some good course in which we actually had interest.

Class Size: 120Course Fees: INR 250000 per year

Placement Experience

4.5

Placement was good and average package of college was around 12 lacs per annum. Though for Mechanical people placement was a bit tough task but our college manages to place almost everyone at a good package

College Events

We have Culturalfest called ZEITGEIST also we have technical fest ADVITIYA. Our cultural competency is at par with other old IIT’s. We do have BOCA board of cultural activities which manages everything from intra cultural championships to the cultural fest

Fee Structure And Facilities

Fees was OKAY at our time but there has been a surge in fees for general students which in turn is around 1-2 lacs something but for backward class people our college doesn’t charge anything. Also, for poor people earning less than 4 lacs our college provide MCM support and also fees is way less than others

Fees and Financial Aid

No, I did not opt for scholorship or loan. At that time fees was not that much but, for those who want to avail it can do so by contacting IIT Ropar SBI and may get zero percent interest loan easily

Campus Life

Campus life was very good everyone was helpful and try to promote each other through every means possible. They enjoy every festival together. Gender ratio was pretty bad. In my batch it was around 8 girls out of 120 total. You can imagine it is even less than 8%.

Hostel Facilities

3.5

Yes, I opted for a hostel and it was a good experience. I would say the best thing I have done. Students get so much active when they stay in hostels due to competition. It also promotes team work by students.

Hostel Fee: INR 400 per yearExternal Expense: Rs.2000 - Rs.4000

Alumni/Alumna

Our alumni network is increasing with time and there are alumnis working in some good reputed companies like google apple

Admission

Well, Let me tell you the truth. I didn’t know what exacty is mechanical engineering. Since this is the branch which is according to my rank fits my profile which is why I had chosen this one. The selection process is through entrance exam JEE ADVANCED

Faculty

We need to maintain 75% attendance in the college. There were around 4 lectures for a 4 credit course in a week. Every lecture was of around 45 minutes. Teachers are very impressive and friendly. They will always try to push the student for some extra to serve the industries in future

the CSE curriculum covers relevant subjects and provides a good foundation programming and computer science. It prepares students for futher studies and careers, through more industry-based projects and practical learning would be bemigficial.

Likes

college life of Chandigarh university is so good, all the events do happen .
teachers are so experienced and they are so supportive in here.
the placements in this university are great, all the big tech companies do visit while placements and provide jobs to the deserved students.

Dislikes

All the online courses should be reduced.
nothing is there in the university that is to dislike.
majority of the things are all good in our university.

Placement Experience:

The placemnets in the university starts from the 3 year only. companies comes in the 3rd year, students= can give interviews in this year, and they can get the NOC. wich means you can go for the job or the iinternship and there is no need to take the classes, because you are taking the indyustry level experience in the prior basis also.

Likes

Events are more frequent here and most of the stars from punjabi industry are called more often for film promotions
No ragging is there infact seniors are friendly and try to help juniors
TPP (training and placement program) is provided that help students to crack placements

Dislikes

Attendance criteria (minimum 75 % is essential to maintain to be eligible to give exams)
Class timings are fixed from 9:15 to 4:35 and you can not enter in between 10 to 12:00 PM as gates are closed for this duration
Strength is rapidly increasing as new courses are introduced which increases competition during placements

Placement Experience:

Placements are decent, from 6th semester students become eligible for campus placement students need to enroll in TPP(Training and placement program) in order to get eligible for campus placement, Many companies visit our campus for eg Capgemini, LNT, ZSCALER, EDIFECS, AMAZON, PWC, WATCHGUARD TECHNOLOGIES etc overall above 200 offerrs are made to our senior batch with the highest package of 32LPA and average package of around 4.5LPA. more than 60% of students get placed . I am also sitting for campus placement and wish to get placed soon

College Life is Fun, Various activities and events happen in and around college, you got to know about others and crowd is also decent, Mostly Students are from northern regions that is Himachal Pradesh, Punjab, Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand .
Teachers are good and placement coordinators also help students to get good package on campus. a decent package can be bagged by a student if he/she seriously study and obtain a decent CGPA in exam. Make sure you clear all exams till 8th semester.
Infrastructure Is also good, laboratories are fitted with new desktops and campus size is also decent, Tuck shops and various Canteens are available inside the campus. Also Central Library is there inside the campus where students can study in exam t

Dislikes

The curriculum for 1st and 2nd semester is purely based on subjects that you studied in 11th and 12th, the advance versions of those topics are there in 1st and 2nd semester which make it difficult for students to get good grades.
The placement in other branches like Mechanical, electrical is mere, and one can face difficult in getting on campus placement if he/she belongs to these streams. Also Lack of practical knowledge is there in these streams, Theory is more focused.
If one opt for hostels, then the hostel facilities are not as good as it should be , the mess food is pathetic and one can face difficulty if he/she opt for hostel, also campartively hostel fees are also very high, whereas nearby Pg's are cheaper

Placement Experience:

placement is good in our college. Aveage package is 400000, and average package for cse stream is approx 500000. Various companies like alstom, infosys, accenture, TCS, Wipro, amazon, Walmart, JP Morgan chase and co. etc visit campus every year and recruit students. Approx 300+ companies visit campus and above 80% of cse students are placed but In other streams like ECE.EE and ME etc placements are campartively lower and students face difficulty in order to get placed. MY plan is job oriented i also want to get placed on campus and hope so i will get placed in a good company.

IIT Ropar is a remarkable college!

Eligibility for every single IITs is through JEE. For students who are in top 5000 in general category gets a call for IITs. Since I was a little low in rank, I was left with fewer choices 2nd gen IITs. So, IIT Guwahati and IIT Gandhinagar were two IITs from where I got admission offer but since IIT Ropar was in my state, i took admission here....Read More
