What Students Say

Likes

The teaching staff possess good knowledge of their respective fields.
The library is pretty big and contains numerous books and is one of the best aspects of our university.
The hostel environment is good and I haven't experienced any bullying or something of that sort.

Dislikes

On-campus placements isn't a very good aspect of our university.
The higher authority interferes in making student unions.
The sports environment is not upto mark and needs an improvement.

Course Curriculum Overview

3.5

The fees of the course i have chosen is affordable and also this course has a great future ahead. as we know the coming years are all about technology and computers so the course offers a great opportunity for me to face real world applications. The course curriculum is already made to benefit the students and i don't find any issues with teaching methods. Two mid semester exams and end semester exam is conducted in a semester with a moderate difficulty level .

Class Size: 60Course Fees: INR 93000 per year

Placement Experience

It is from the 7th semester that the students become eligible for campus placements. But still I'd argue that the campus placements are not that good. The average salary is around 4.5 lakhs and the highest placement offered was around 20 lakhs. I am not aware of the percentage of student getting placements.

Fees and Financial Aid

Tution fees doesn't increase that frequently. The complete cost of the course is 371,600 including exams fees. Financials aids are provided to students via Tution fee waiver scheme and also via 10 plus 2 merit. I am studying in the campus yet and have not undertaken campus employment.

Campus Life

Different technical events are conducted throughout the year. Many cultural fests and hackathons are also organised. A wide range of books and journals are available in the library and the library is pretty good. The campus consists of many smart classes. Different sports and sports events are also organised. Some third-year students run a coding club that goes by the name Bizarre Coders and also our campus also has a google developer social club.

Hostel Facilities

3.5

The campus consists of three boys and two girls hostels. The hostel room is a bit congested for two people but still hostel is pretty well maintained. The hostel mess serves healthy food, and the menu is well organised. People may not find the food taste good but still the mess is hygienic. The hostels are pretty affordable and all the hostel are within the university campus.

Hostel Fee: INR 25000 per year

Admission

The basic eligibility for the Btech CSE course as per 2023 is a good score in your respective 12th board exam. One can get the application form and all the regarding details on the official site of IKGPTU Main Campus website. The Punjab quota is about 85% and 15% for the other states students. Two mid semester exams and an end semester are conducted in a single semester of 6 months with a moderate difficulty. The admission process is pretty easy and doesn't need any improvement.

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.

Likes

I like the infrastructure of the university it has a great campus and so many shops there stationary and canteens available here.
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.

The fees are high and losing a scholarship due to cgpa requirements can create a significant financial burden.
More personalized mentorship and regular career guidance sessions would help student prepare for their future carees.
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.
