Course Curriculum Overview
The course curriculum is not as up to date as it should be. We're following the same course since 2018 and there hasn't been much changes. Although the course curriculum matches 80% syllabus of other universities in India.
Internships Opportunities
Students can start applying for placement and internship on-campus opportunities after 6th semester. The internship stipend reaches upto 50000/month if you are a good hardworking student. The degree itself is worth in off-campus market as well so it gives a bit of upper hand in grabbing off campus opportunities.
Placement Experience
The placements here is average with average package ranging from 6 lac to 4 lac. The highest package offered during 2023 placements was 19.5 lacs by ZScaler. Several companies visits each year for placements opportunities like Zaro Education, JJ Jonex, Zscaler, eNest Technologies, etc. My personal goal for the future is to grab a good placements from the university as the competition is relatively low.
Fees and Financial Aid
One big perk of joining the Punjab Technical University is that it offers multiple scholarships like PMC, etc. You literally don't have to pay any tuition fees if you fall under the scholarship conditions. The home state students take most out of it so if you're from Punjab and belonging to low income household the ROI would be much higher for you than in other universities.
Campus Life
The main campus organizes multiple events for multiple occasions like Youth festival, Vihaan, Agaaz, Incubo, etc. Although there isn't many clubs except a few like GDSC and Bizarre Coders that mainly focuses on improving coding culture and computer science. Libraray has lots of books (including course books) which you can borrow for upto 45 days. After 45 days you may have to re-issue the book if you want to use it further. PTU organizes sports event every year and we have one of the best football, basketball, cricket, badminton teams in Punjab.
Hostel Facilities
First semester hostel accomodation fees is 13750 and second semester fees is 11750. If you taking fresh admission into hostel then you have to pay the 3000 rs. which is refundable at the time when you leave the hostel.
