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.

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.
