Remarks

I was interested in pursuing research and was not inclined towards 9-5 boring job so thought of opting for PhD rather than getting normal B.Tech. degree. I am interested in teaching as IISER is know best for its skills of teaching.

Course Curriculum Overview

3.5

Our course structure is good but requires a lot of improvement. Yes, we are provided with well equipped labs and industrial exposure. Faculties are pretty good and known all over the country. Facilities provided are good as well

Course Fees: INR 275000 per year

Placement Experience

1.5

Placements in our college are very very limited as the only scope for placement is in engineering. However, with time things have changed and slowly companies have started to come and recently we got our first senior to be placed so hoping for the best

College Events

3.5

The fest is good but as our college do not offer any placements, it is pretty hard to look for sponsorships that's why it is not excellent. However, being a premium science institute, our college also organises Science Fest which include unique competitions.

Fees and Financial Aid

College do not offer, however students do get INSPIRE/KVPY fellowship and can take loan through bank and we are provided some concession on loan interest as there is one bank in our campus so indirectly they provide us loan

Hostel Facilities

3.5

It is sharing for first two years and in our third year, we are provided with single rooms. It is not large for 2 seater but decent for single seater. The average rent per semester is Rs. 2000 so it is fairly decent.

Hostel Fee: INR 5000 per year

The university provides good exposure to technical courses, eventrs , clubs, and extracurricular activities.
The campus has good labs, a library, and facilities that support students academic development.

More personalized mentorship and regular career guidance sessions would help student prepare for their future carees.
more internship opportunities would further improve students professional growth.

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.

University life

Likes

The infrastructure and faculty is very good. The university campus is very big containing different departments with the well qualified teachers. The teaching methods are very good and we can approach easily to the management for our queries.
The discipline is very well in the university campus. The proper follow up of rules and regulations is there in the campus. The rules regarding ragging are very strict and nobody will be forgive if caught in such offences.
The placement rate of the university is quite well in each and every department whether it is biosciences or engineering or any other department. The university ensures that each and every deserving student should get placement.

Dislikes

The first thing I dislike about university is the students are not allowed to use lifts because for some departments the classes takes place on top floors and it is very difficult for students to climb those floors multiple times.
The other thing I dislike is the problem of traffic outside the main campus gate in morning mad evening time. It take lot of time to get out of that traffic and it ultimately makes students late for their classes.
The last thing I dislike is there is no free transportation services for students inside campus because the size of university is very big and to go from one point to other the students have to walk a lot.

Course Curriculum Overview:

This course offers theoretical as well as practical knowledge It prepare me very well for outside life and obstacles that I will face in outside world I think individual students must be asked for learning There is no such difficulty level

Dislikes

The admission process...it takes too much energy
They will make you go here and there for fees
Very hectic classes and no reliability for us

Placement Experience:

Chandigarh University provides good placement opportunities. Students can apply for jobs in their final year. Companies like TCS, Infosys, Wipro, and Deloitte offer jobs to students. The salary package depends on skills and performance. The university also helps students prepare for interviews. After completing my degree, I want to get a good job, learn new skills, gain experience, and build a successful career.

I joined Aakash Chandigarh for my jee coaching. After few test I realised that I am good in mathematics. And also I keep myself busy to do mathematics problem lot of time. Aftee my jee advance result I was surprised that I got 82 marks in mathematics and just passing criteria marks in phy and chm. After that I got 3-4 college but I dropped all of them due to my high intrest in mathematics. So ai choose IISER mohali. It allows one to develop and be much cleverer, intelligent and broad-minded. When a student studies subjects like mathematic it augments their understanding of the world, effects, causes, etc. It lets them develop scientific knowledge and theory about everything in their surroundings they may stumble across. Science causes progressive and extraordinary developments. It has aided people in finding the cure to numerous diseases, increase awareness, and has created endless possibilities for us...Read More
