What Students Say

Likes

Participation in events meaning getting some exposure
Quite supportive and well educated faculty
They do not put unnecessary burden on students

Dislikes

Curriculum needs to be updated as per current trends
Campus life is not very happening, infrastructure is not that good
Less focus on technology related things.

Course Curriculum Overview

The curriculum is affiliated with PTU(Punjab Technical University). The theory along with the lab practicals makes your academics stronger overall. There are 2 mid semester exams and 1 final semester exam per semester. The 2 mid semesters contribute as your internal in finals. Teaching methods are a mix of class learning as well as lab practicals. Certainly the curriculum requires updations. There is very little association of curriculum with what's actually required in the industry world. Teaching needs to be more practical based instead of just rote learning.

Class Size: 75Course Fees: INR 90000 per year

Placement Experience

After the sixth semester, students are allowed to sit for placements. Average package is around 7-8lpa. Maximum package this year has been 70lpa in a USA based company. 70-80% students get placed. Usually tier 3 companies visit here.

Fees and Financial Aid

The odd semester fee is somewhere around 55k to 60k. The even semester fee is somewhere around 30k to 35k making a total of around 90k for one semester for BTech CSE branch. There are no additional costs to this. Reservations and scholarships(post matric scholarships)are provided to reserved classes and certain amount of seats are reserved for them.

Campus Life

2.5

Overall campus life is not very interesting. Events do take place in the college, particularly more in the even semester. There is very active participation of college students is north zone youth fest. Lots of clubs for public speaking, theatre, dance, music, quiz etc are there in the college where students somewhat enjoy. Sports and NCC is quite a talk in the college. Library is the wow factor here. Every book is mostly available and there's an e-learning section also.

Admission

The admission is through 12th board marks and/or jee mains score. Depending upon this, you get the stream. Applications can be filled either online or even in the college when u visit it. There is usually higher cut off for CSE branch.

Likes

The campus is beautiful, spacious, and offers good infrastructure with modern facilities.
The university provides good exposure to technical courses, eventrs , clubs, and extracurricular activities.
The campus has good labs, a library, and facilities that support students academic development.

Dislikes

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.

Course Curriculum Overview:

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. Exams include MSTs and ESTs, with a manageable difficulty level through regi;ar preparation.

Chandigarh University the best university

Likes

college life of Chandigarh university is so good, all the events do happen .
teachers are so experienced and they are so supportive in here.
the placements in this university are great, all the big tech companies do visit while placements and provide jobs to the deserved students.

Dislikes

All the online courses should be reduced.
nothing is there in the university that is to dislike.
majority of the things are all good in our university.

Placement Experience:

The placemnets in the university starts from the 3 year only. companies comes in the 3rd year, students= can give interviews in this year, and they can get the NOC. wich means you can go for the job or the iinternship and there is no need to take the classes, because you are taking the indyustry level experience in the prior basis also.

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.

Affordable and Worth it !

I have chosen this college because it is near my house and have a good placement record. The college provides stable jobs in the placements. I have even applied for lpu, Dav University but this college is worth it. Dav University doesnt offer that much placements and LPU is very overrated. The admission process is very easy here. Students have to just score more than 80 percent for cse core btech or must be appeared in jee mains examination. Admission doesnt take that much time. Its very simple. There is no specific cutoff but the students can get admission through jee mains examination by just apperaring in it....Read More
