What Students Say

Likes

Good Faculties, Their Polite Behaviour, and nice social groups.
Cooperating non teaching staff, the administration, the infrastructure.
Libraries, the library staff, and access to limited Wi-Fis.

Dislikes

Non-Availability of the Networks, only a very few networks work properly.
The crowd, there are around 40-50K students in campus.
The Geographic location of the University, difficulty in reaching and coming back home on public vehicles.

Course Curriculum Overview

I have chosen a Bachelor of Engineering in Computer Science and Engineering with a specialization in Big Data and Analytics as it is the most demanded course nowadays. Faculties encourage us to do things and they are polite. Ratio if I tell you about my class, approximately 10 girls and 50 boys are there. Faculties are highly educated and the teaching method is fine. First MST - Month, then the second another month, and the End Semester is in 4th month of the semester (approx). Difficult subjects like Probability and Statistics are not easy to pass. But, for the other exams, if we prepare well, we can pass.

Class Size: 60Course Fees: INR 107000 per year

Fees and Financial Aid

The course fee doesn't increase, it will remain the same as what we paid in the first semester. For the next batches, it hikes year after year, about 10-15000. Scholarships are of two to three types, first CUCET, second UG, or the 12th based, merit-based. They provide a loan facility also. I have not got a job till now.

Campus Life

2 Big Fests happen every year, one in the odd semester and one in the even semester. CU Fest and another fest. Tech fests are organized regularly. Lots of books are available in the library, also there are Digital Libraries in which E Gate access is also provided. A few Classrooms have Air Conditioners and almost every lab have air conditioner and Projectors. They encourage students towards sports also, there is a whole different department for that. IEEE is also there. Student clubs like Vibe and the musical club are also there.

Admission

I got admission to the university through CUCET. After showing interest, I got a call from an admission office and they told me thoroughly about the course I have been interested in. After I said I needed some time to think about this, they held that up for 1-2 weeks, and then I got another call. After I called them back, they asked for the details and I got admitted, but only after giving the CUCET as necessary.

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.
