Remarks

During covid, I got admission on basis of my 12th board result but there was an option to give cucet exam for scholarship and admission. You get a scholarship on the basis of the numbers you scored in cucet.

Course Curriculum Overview

I was really good at computers that's why I chose this course. The faculty-to-student ratio is pretty good which is around 35:1. Most teachers here are Ph.D. and the ones who are not are still studying for their Ph.D. from cu. The exam and evaluation of students are done on weekly basis by taking various quizzes.

Class Size: 70Course Fees: INR 160000 per year

Internships Opportunities

I don't think college provides any internships to students in the 1st and 2nd year but for the 3rd and 4th, there are faculties. You have to give an exam or an interview. There are many companies that provided stipends one of my friends got an internship and after completing that she got a 15lpa pre-placement offer.

Placement Experience

Placement in Chandigarh University is very good it has drastically increased in 2 years from 37lpa to 1.7cr which is huge and the placement rate of cu is 87% is phenomenal considering the no of students they give admissions to.

Fees and Financial Aid

College is very strict about money and fees. The scholarships are provided for students on basis of their cucet and they also have to maintain a 7.5 cgpa every year to avail their scholarships. Student loan is provided very easily.

Campus Life

Cu fest is organized by students and faculty every year and various tech, sports fest, festivals, and social events happen every month. One can also participate in or organize event by becoming a member of dsw. There are various clubs that offer various competitive and challenging activities.

Teachers were helpful, they guide very well for the upcoming careers
labs are very good, we used to do a lot of experiments with different things like they got a 3D printer in the lab, we made a clone with that
College is very neat and clean. lots of greenery was there

Dislikes

Less practical, more thoery. we used to read more thorey about the things we have to do practical.
In some classes, ACs not working, so we had the worst time in summers when they don't on the AC
Sometimes there were lot of crowd with less discipline students

Course Curriculum Overview:

the course is quite good as i choose this because i have specific interest in studying Computer science. Also it provides knowledge of theorectical and practical both. the curriculum provides good knowledge and i feel like some of the subjects are more theory oriented and i suggest students need more in practical exposure to understand how the things worked. in terms of teaching methods, teachers should give more focus on practical methods along with theory. Exams are conducted twice a year, there were also internal practicals, assestments to prepare us more for the final exams. the difficulty level is moderate, also depends on the subject.

IIT Ropar- Best new gen IIT?

Likes

Campus was amazing, Size was around 548 acres.
Campus located in Ropar pretty close to Chandigarh giving us location benifits.
Placement opportunities especially for CSE students were broad. Research opportunities were great.

Dislikes

Core Branches placements lacked as compared to CSE.
Lesser opportunities as compared to prime located IITS like IIT Delhi. Even IIT Hyderabad regarless of the ranking has much more opportunities as corporate is there in Hyderabad more than Ropar and Chandigarh.
Weather was quite extreme. No ACs in hostels.

Placement Experience:

Placements are quite good. The claimed average package is 25 Lacs these days. But the actual median package is for non CSE branch was as low as 8-9 LPA. Also international package boosts the avaerage package component.

I like the security of the Chandigarh university is so good guards and the cctv cameras are all around the campus
I like the quality of study and the knowledge the faculty provide us during the lectures and practicals

Dislikes

I dont like the attendance criteria in this university.
In some of the subjects we have to maintain 90% attendance and that is difficult for the most of students
I dont like the number of lectures in per week in this course like i have 26 lectures per week in my course

Placement Experience:

Placements here in this college are really good. Before the placements they give us all the information about the rounds in placements in the form of seminars and also there are mock tests for the placements and the interview trainings before the placement drives and the AMCAT exam which is for the placements.

The campus has good labs, a library, and facilities that support students academic development.

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.
