Faculty and Infrastructure won't be a barrier in your success.
Hostels and Mess are a 10, no complaints!

Dislikes

Fees is a bit high, what can we say, private college after all.
Strictness for In Time of hostels, should be removed

Course Curriculum Overview

Course curriculumn is made for the upcoming future. Focus on practical knowledge is encouraged, state of the art labs and excellent faculty always helps achieve that. Exams happen twice a sem, mid and end semester exams. Exams are easy to score and you can maintain a good CGPA if you study regularly.

Class Size: 90Course Fees: INR 500000 per year

Internships Opportunities

Alot of companies start visiting the college after 2nd year for internships, Amazon, JP Morgan, Microsoft, Bajaj, Mahindra, Black Rock, Deloitte, Nvedia etc. are some of the top companies. Avg. Stipend one can expect is 15,000/month.

Placement Experience

3.5

College provides a lot of campus internship and placement opportunities. There is a separate dept. for student placement training and in general career guidance. Apple, google, amazon, Jp Morgan, McKinsey etc. are some companies that visits the campus. Highest package for a Btech grad was 53lpa at Adobe.

Fees and Financial Aid

Tuition fee increases by some percentage every year, but remains same throughout your course. The adminisitration isn't hungry for money and they are adjusting if you get late in paying fees due to valid reasons. The complete cost for B.Tech ECE (4 yr) will cost you arround 24 lacs , including hostel and mess food. Financial scholarship is available on merit and financial basis. There are no as such employment opportunities in campus.

Campus Life

There are a lot of student clubs and activities. college organizes alot of events and fests and helps student organise it. it helps students to connect with each other and learn more soft skills while away from the class room. Great library, food spots and sports facilities are pretty good. Campus life is great!

Hostel Facilities

There are 16 hostels, 10 boys and 6 girls. The rooms and well maintained and proper cleaningservices are provided without any charge. Laundary service is available twice a week. Mess food is excellent, I have never heard any complaint regarding food quality throughout my college life, Theres variety as well as taste. Hostels are maintained and security is also good.

Hostel Fee: INR 76000 per year

Admission

Admission process was pretty smooth, proper information was provided on the website and through email. Cut-off varies from year to year. There are several rounds of counselling , so you get a pretty good of chance of upgrading your branch.

Likes

Good and modern campus infrastructure. The university is large, modern with good classrooms, labs, hostels and tec.
Most teachers are knowledgeable, supportive and explain concepts clearly.
The university provides placement drives, training sessions, career guidance and etc.

Dislikes

Large student intake. Due to high number of students, sometimes it can be difficult to get individual attention from faculty.
During peak hours, some areas of the campus can be crowded.
The quality of hostel food is not much satisfying.

Placement Experience:

Placements at Chandigarh University are generally good, with students becoming eligible for campus placements in the later semesters, dependiing on their course. Many companies visit the campus for recruitment, offering roles in IT, engineering, management and other fields. The packages vary by company and profile with some students receiving high packages while others get average entry-level offers. Placement opportunities depend on student skills, academic performance and interview preparation. After completing my degree, I plan to secure a good job in my field, gain practical experience and continue developing my technical and professional skills.
