Anmol Gupta's Review On Shiv Nadar University - [SNU], Greater Noida

Unique course structure and world class research facilities along with innovative and modern day approach to learning and the infrastructure probably one of the best in the country. The university has almost all the teachers as Phd holders and has an extremely huge campus and provides the best facilities by far as compared to the other colleges. Boys and girls both are totally free to do whatever they want with no curfew timings or dress codes. The university is heavily focused on research and has a invested more than 300 crores in the last 5 years. Opened in 2011 it is the youngest university by far in the top 50 nirf ranking making it the only university to be so. And moreover the most important thing is that unlike any other universities this university has no reservation critieria whatsoever because the university is established by the philanthropist Mr. Shiv Nadar with an aim to create it an Ivy league college of Indian and spends more than rs 200 crores annually out of which only around 20% fund comes from the fees so the institute doesn't need anyone's money. None of the above mentioned figures and numbers are inflated and all can be checked online.

The course is completely updated and has an minor, major credit system where students are allowed to choose courses from any of the fields that is history, arts, economics or whatever you want irrespective of your majors. Being a college if hcl itself the college provides a decent exposure though not the best tbh. The computer science is headed by the phd professor of IIT DELHI itself whi has taught in Delhi for more than 30 years.

Placement is okay and plenty opportunities are there for the worthy but here I would like to point a imp thing. The university is a reasearch based university and thus quite a few students get the chance to write research papers and opt to go out for higher education.

Technical fests are quite small and the annual cultural fest is called breeze and is a decent one. Apart from that intra fests are amazing with prom date nights, regular dj nights happening. also the colleg truly has a diverse population with people coming from all around the country and around 40% of the students are from south India, thus you get to experience all the cultures of India genuinely and get to know people from all background.

There are several scholarship bands according to your cgpa every year with minimum being 50% on tuition fees if you get a min of 6. 5 cgpa. Your each year's tuition fees is calculated on the cgpa you get. The higher the cgpa the more is the scholarship and less is to pay.

Campus is 300 acres with only around 2500 students. Thus it is quite less crouded but all the facilities are there which you can imagine of and I am really proud to say it but honestly therre maybe hardly very few colleges present in India which match our infrastructure standards and being an university opened in 2011, the facilities are relatively quite new.

Hostel facility is pretty good. Probably one of the best in country. Toilets are always super clean in the morning times and hit water facility is also available. There are several recreational activities such as tt, tv lounge, air hockey, fussball, seperate study room with lan connectivity within the hostel. Plus there is no curfew timings from 2nd year onwards for girls as well as boys.
