What Students Say

Likes

I like discipline of CU. As they are very strict and they follow many rules.
I like faculty of CU. They are all well mannered and understanding.
I like my colleagues as all belongs from good and disciplined families.

Dislikes

I dislike that there is lack of proper information about everything.
I dislike some guards behavior as some of them are rude.

Course Curriculum Overview

3.5

Course is good. But there are so many students in course around 15000 so there is tough competition. And faculty members are full supportive and good in nature. Ratio of faculty and students are you can say 30:70 but their management is good as there are 5 academic units and each unit have 20 sections. And exams are there in around every month. There are 2 MST( monthly semester test) and then there is Practical mst and at last end semester test. They are moderate as syllabus comes from their study material only..

Class Size: 70Course Fees: INR 240000 per year

Placement Experience

1.5

As much as I have listened from my seniors placements are good in cse bug due to recession so much less much percentage students get placed this year. Companies visited are google microsoft and many others. My plans are for noe to take a good placement after be cse .

Fees and Financial Aid

Fees structure is 120000 per semester and there are some additional fees like examination fees 2000 And also security fees 2000. Students can get scholarships easily as cucet exam is online. Name of scholarship - CUCET

Campus Life

Life at campus is good. There are so many functions going on everyday. Cu fest is happened every year but I have not seen any till Now. May be it will be in february. There are many libraries also. Classrooms are good and clean. Sports and extra curricular activities are supporting in a very engaging manner. There are many clubs going on - IEEE club , coding club etc.

Hostel Facilities

2.5

Hostel facility is okay. Facilities provided in room are bed(without mattress), tube lights, study table and almirah. Meal quality is we can say poor not that much good. Registration process for hostel is also through cuims their website And it is affordable but every year it's fees increases by 10000.

Hostel Fee: INR 120000 per year

Admission

Eligibility - passed in 12th Application form available in their website Chandigarh University and application fees is 1000. I am from general so I don't know about reservation benefits. But if u have given their cucet exam then there are so many scholarships available.

Likes

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.

more internship opportunities would further improve students professional growth.

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.
