Remarks

I only applied for Chandigarh University, as this was the only university that was so much better than other universities or colleges (excluding IIT, NIT, VIT, BITS). No, I didn't avail any quota for admission. The admission criteria is you can give CUCET exam. You can also get admission from your JEE Mains marks or your 12th marks. There is no minimum marks for Mains but you need a minimum of 50% in 12th Board exams. There was no counseling day. CUCET was a proctored online exam. CUCET is basically an entry cum scholarship exam.

Course Curriculum Overview

4.5

I chose B.E. CSE because I wanted to be an Engineer and I like everything about computers and all related to it. There are a lot of students in BTech CSE in CU. Also Faculty is in good strength compared to the number of students. Faculty are very well educated and they have a good teaching sense. Every teacher Sir/Mam teaches in English and seems to have good knowledge about their subjects. Exams take place after the completion of every unit. Then, there are end-term exams or final exams. If you have paid attention in the class, you can easily pass.

Class Size: 50Course Fees: INR 90000 per year

Internships Opportunities

There are many good companies that offer placements to the students. I don't have the best knowledge regarding this as I have not got a chance for an internship yet. But as my seniors have told me that the internship opportunities that are provided to them were good. Projects were also given to them.

Placement Experience

From 7th or 8th-semester students get eligible for campus placements. There are many good companies that visit the university and over 700 companies visited our university in 2021 amid pandemic. Almost all the students get placed somewhere. Companies offered over 35Lakh in 2021. I'm planning to do MBA after completing my Graduation.

Fees and Financial Aid

Fees hike takes place every year but I think it remains the same for existing students. I don't have a greater knowledge about this as I am a 1st year student. For B.E. CSE the cost in 2021 is 90,000 per semester. If you get a scholarship then price will be less. CUCET exam provides scholarship to the students. It provides upto 100% scholarship.

Campus Life

There are a lot of things going around on campus. There are lots of events and hackathons that take place on the campus. Books are available from the library. Students can go to the library to take some books or they can read there. There are lots of extracurricular activities that take place also many sports events in which students can take part. A campus like is very great in CU.

Hostel Facilities

Hostels in CU are very well maintained. You are provided with a table, a chair, a bed, and 1 almirah. Mess quality is very good. Sometimes you will feel that the food is being repetitive or is not good, but it is basically because the same mess food (different food for different days though) is served for 3-4 months. The registration process is simple, you will get a form where you can mention your preference. I have not rented a room or PG but they are available very close to the university.

Hostel Fee: INR 110000 per year

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 .

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.
