What Students Say

Likes

The students play a great role in the decision making process of the university and are regularly asked for their reviews.
The campus life at CU is amazing, there are students from all over the world and we get to learn new things everyday.
Our course is well planned and covers most of the knowledge for our domain.

Dislikes

The process to rectify attendance if you are falsely marked is very complex.
It is located in the outskirts of Kharar which is 8 km from the city.
Some of the faculty is inexperienced and don't know how to teach or even manage the class so the course could be completed on time.

Course Curriculum Overview

3.5

I chose this course because I wanted to learn some real word skills like web development, machine learning, etc. The faculty-student ratio is somewhere around 1:35. Most of the faculty is experienced and have Ph.D. degrees but some are Ph.D. scholars and are teaching as assistant professors. The end-term exams are always on time and can be passed easily with sincere studies.

Class Size: 70Course Fees: INR 210000 per year

Internships Opportunities

3.5

There are decent internship opportunities available with several startups and companies like Intel etc. where the average stipend range from 5-6k. According to our area of expertise for example machine learning, web development, android development etc. we get to work on different projects under supervision from industry experts.

Placement Experience

The campus placements are above average. Students become eligible for campus placements in the 6th semester. Deloitte, Intel, Amazon, Google, Scalar, Infosys, TCS, Tech Mahindra, etc. companies visit the campus for placements. 650+ companies visited the campus in the recent placement drive and made 9000+ offers. The highest package was for 54 LPA while the average package was around 7 LPA. Around 80-90 percent of students got placed.

Fees and Financial Aid

Once you are enrolled in a course your fees will not be hiked for the whole duration. The cost of the study is quite affordable. There are several scholarship schemes but the best is to get a scholarship through the CUCET exam conducted by the university. Students can also apply for loans from the university. Regarding campus jobs, to my knowledge, I don't think there is such a thing.

Campus Life

4.5

The campus life at CU is amazing. The annual fest is called CU-fest and it is conducted in April while there are several tech fests throughout the year. Top Bollywood celebrities regularly visit the campus. There is a library in each block and a huge central library is under construction. Books and journals are always available and can be borrowed using a library card.

Admission

The eligibility criteria for this course is to have at least 60% in your 12th board exam but it is quite flexible. You can directly take the admission without giving any entrance exam although the college provides an opportunity for students to avail scholarships for students by conducting an exam called CUCET. The admission process is quite simple and easy for both online and offline processing but we need to submit a fixed amount to reserve a seat for the course which I believe is unnecessary.

Because I wanted to pursue a technical course from which I could learn some real skills.

Good infrastructure, campus and faculty. Have to improve placements and industrial visits.

Likes

The campus is very green and clean. Infrastructure is good and one can feel fresh air here in campus
The faculty is excellent, almost all of the professors and assistant professors have a degree from renowned institutes. So they know their subject and field very well.
Hostels are good and affordable. Although the hostels itself are old, services are good and you get a nice room for the price/rent

Dislikes

The crowd isn't good. Always demotivated to do anything productive regarding studies. Some people are just here for time-pass
Very less site and outdoor visits. For practical experience, they should conduct industrial visits, but that happens rarely
Placements are really Dry and there is decline in company visits for placement.

Placement Experience:

Placements are not that good. Although companies come, there is a lack of mass recruiters or reputed organizations. One has to grind hard here for placements. If you're a CS student, you will have to face immense competition here. As for core branches, placements are severely dry. Students gets eligible in 4th year onwards for placements. Some of recruiters here are Trident, TCS, Reliance, Sonalika and other few. Every company offers around 10-15 selected students for a job. Highest package ever was 15LPA and average is 3.2LPA. Percentage placed is only around 15% here. My plans after the degree are to apply for govt exams.

The Library that remains open till 10-11 at night for those who wish to study till late
Great mentors and very helpful teachers who are always willing to help

Dislikes

The hectic schedule and curriculum that the students have to follow.
The lack of certain facilities that would help the students improve thoer personalities
Too much strictness and restrictions with everything that someone wishes to do

Course Curriculum Overview:

The interest in coding influenced me to choose this subject and course. The curriculum gets me ready for a 9-5 job which kind of gets hectic. The teachers could maybe schedule classes to give the students time to study what they want to and if they wish to do a course outside the university they have the time to do so rather than just going by the university curriculum

A Honest Review about Chandigarh University: From Its Student.

I applied to multiple colleges like SRM Chennai, VIT vellore, and Lovely Professional University(LPU). I got confirmed admisison from all of them. I choose this university cause of the low fees and it is near to the place where I live. I appeared for the JEE exams, and due to my low score was not able to make it through in any of the Tier-1 colleges, The admission process is really easy, Appear for the CUCET examination and you get scholarship based on your score, qualifying criteria is 60% in boards examination. If you have high scores in JEE, CUET-UG, or Board examinations you get direct admission in the university....Read More
