Remarks

Your 12th marks and jee mains percentile are taken into consideration however they hardly affect your admission to the university. The application fees and all the admission related queries can be solved by visiting the chikara university's official website. The admission process was fairly smooth. Chitkara University is a private college so all you need is money basically.

Course Curriculum Overview

I was interested in computer science itself as I am very much intrigued by the IT sector and the boos it has had in the past years. The faculty is nice and have completed their doctorates and are very helpful. Every faculty member has his or her own teaching method which is helpful in each way, Exams are taken every month basically so you cannot study and the difficulty level is moderate to high.

Class Size: 60Course Fees: INR 328000 per year

Internships Opportunities

3.5

There are some internships offered by the companies that come for placements with stipends ranging from 15k-20k pm. The projects offered vary from company to company. Basically depends on the package you're gonna get.

Placement Experience

3.5

Students become eligible from the 6th semester to sit for placements. A lot of companies like google, amazon, ibn, Infosys, and Wipro nets come to the campus. The highest package offered was 1.1 cr CTC recently and the lowest is 4-5 LPA I believe. My plans after getting the degree are to get a good placement and work as much as I can.

Fees and Financial Aid

The fees structure is 82000 per semester for the computer science course, which is not less. There is no scholarship that I am aware of that college provides. In terms of fees, there should be a drop as a lot of students here are studying on education loans.

Campus Life

3.5

There are many facilities provided on the campus. Each lecture hall has air conditioning. There are a lot of sports like basketball, volleyball, swimming, snooker, badminton etc to play. The library is stacked with a lot of good books. There are a lot of cultural clubs as well as other clubs in the university.

PEC - History and optimism

Likes

The campus is over 100 years old and has strong alumini network.
Placements are good as per my rank in JEE
Peer group is good and there are diversed people all around

Dislikes

Infrastructure is really old; but then again legacy comes at a cost.
Campus is smaller as compared to NITs and IITs ; so is the funding
Its still not an institute of national importance. Has no nation wide recognition

Placement Experience:

Since the first batch of VLSI is yet to be placed I would take example of ECE for reference. Out of 110 students which sat for placements , 91 got placed , median of 13 lakh with avergae of 16 lakh and 61 lakh highest on campus. These are of 24-25 and this year placements are better as even apple visited us after an hiatus of 3 years. In core electronics , Samsung Rnd , TATA electronics , Cadence , Micron etc visited for tech , UKG , PhonePay , Oracle , Accenture etc vist in consulting and finance , Mckinsey , JP Morgan , GoldmanSachs , AmericanExpress visit. After my btech I plan to do a job.

Chitkara University - Everything You wanna know about

Likes

Syllabus is good, it is very versatile and updated according to the industry standards
The University also has a good events and also a good night life
The infrastructure is very modern with unique outlets to eat in

Dislikes

There is a uniform system which is very bad according to university
Very strict rules regarding in and out of the University
The outlets in university are quite expensive

Course Curriculum Overview:

I would rate the course plan around 7 out of 10 in terms of relevance and depth. I chose this course mainly because it includes core tech subj like DSA, DBMS, OS, AI and cloud, which are useful for jobs in tech field. The presence of lab work and proj based learning also influenced my choice. The curriculum gives a fair base in theory and basic prac skills. It helps in campus place prep and also builds base for higher study like MTech or MS. But real world skill still depends a lot on self study, online course and side proj. Some topics feel updated, but a few subj are still too theory heavy and not linked to real case use. Exams are held twice as mid test and once as end term in each sem. There are also quiz, viva and lab eval. The level is moderate. If you attend class and revise notes, it is manageable. For improve, more live proj, hack event, ind visit and case study should be added. Teach method should shift more to code demo and less slide read

Good facilities, really teaches student and give individual attention in class too
Good infrastructure , as it was just built in 2021, the infrastructure is top notch and no complaints about it.
Papers are being checked anonymously, one’s paper can be checked by any teacher in any campus, so no chance of partiality

Dislikes

80% strict attendance criteria other they would not allow to sit in exam
Passing criteria is 40% and grading system is also bery difficult, two D grade is 1 F and more than 2F could lead to year repeat year, not even semster
Alot of assigments, really hectic at times

Placement Experience:

We have avergae package of 12 lpa and 57lpa highest, i am not aware of how mqny placed. As such i have plan to get placed but if things didnt go out as planed then mba or mtech maybe. Our campus just opened recently so there is no much information but our placements are central that means, companies visting mumbai have to visit us too, and u can refer mumbai campus placement for our campus because its counted on central level and not varries campus to campus
