Shikhant Saini's Review On Chitkara University, Chandigarh

I scored 105 marks in IIT JEE. I got 75% in 10+2 board exams. I always had interest in computers, also the demand these days lead me to choose computer science and engineering as my course. This college is known for it's opportunities and placements. I filled an admission form which I asked a friend of mine, who was studying in this university, to bring me one.

The course curriculum covers each and every topic, and is updated. You cover a number of subjects and end up having good knowledge about your subjects. You will perform practicals, and will be given assignments. We even have a separate wing for students interested in research, and new ideas are always appreciated. Students and teachers work as a team and many patents are already registered.

Yes, our college provides internships and send the students to various companies. General stipend ranges from Rs. 8000 to Rs. 15000. This starts in 3rd year though if you're doing engineering. You'll be never short of opportunities.

If you want to get placed, this is the correct place for you. Here you'll be provided with various opportunities. Placements are a hallmark and are known in the region. Companies like Amazon, Accenture, Google, etc give visit for placement interviews.

Fee structure is expensive. I study engineering n I pay Rs. 75,000 for one semester. Other degrees have a bit less fee though. But still, it's expensive. Students take study loans, if they can't afford. Architecture costs around 50,000 Rs. For one semester, etc.

We have abroad scholarships. In which students are sent to study in foreign countries and the education fee is on college for that period of time. We have a twinings program in which we'll do half of our degree here and other half in abroad, and will get degrees from both institutions. Other is semester exchange program, where we can go and study for a semester abroad.

Campus life is very nice, as they have all the facilities a student wants, like they have a separate sports environment, which has sports ranging from snooker to basketball and table tennis to name a few. Labs are kept clean too. The college always appreciate any achievement and informs students about national and even international competitions.

The exam structure is a bit hectic, we have 3 sessional tests and a final exam in one semester, each sessional and final exam consists of both viva, lab performance and theory paper, having a weightage in the final result. 40% of the sessional tests marks are considered in the overall result.

The faculty is very helpful. The teachers will help you even if you ask them to a number of times. Some teachers are a bit strict, but generally you'll feel good talking to them. They'll never compromise on your studies. We have a strict rule for even the faculty, so that if they misbehave, they'll be punished. Overall the faculty members are good.
