What Students Say

Likes

The infrastructure is great. The teachers here are super supportive and they are always ready to help us whenever needed
Hostel facilities are normal for girls, timming of gate closing is 7 30 pm and for boys its 11 pm.
Hostel rooms and comfortable and spacious. You got 4 people living in one single room.

Dislikes

There is a lot of strictness in terms of studies and attendance.
Mess food is good but it is too spicy. Whenever some function is there hostel students are called first even if it is Sunday or any holiday. They don't care if we are busy in studies or not
The timming of the girls is 7 30 pm only and boys timming for gate closing is 11 pm so there should not be like this

Course Curriculum Overview

4.5

I have opted for B.Tech course and as we see today's world we can see how relevant this course is and how demanding it is. First year is not relevant at all. All the other B.tech branches will go through the same curriculum as you there will be no difference but from second semester it will ve relatable and relevant.

Class Size: 60Course Fees: INR 128300 per year

Internships Opportunities

The internship facility offered here is totally useless you have to focus on your skills and your skills and then apply for internship by your own college will not provide with any internship opportunities.

Placement Experience

The student are eligible for placement in 6th semester.they should not have active backlog. Amazon , microsoft, Flipkart, the math company etc come here for hiring students. Highest package is 45.5LPA and average package is 10LPA which is not so bad. 75% of the students gets placed. After getting the degree i will do M.tech.

Fees and Financial Aid

Fees of B.tech course per semester is 64150 and as compared to other private colleges it is affordable and if you opt for hostel facility it is 110000 per annum. If families could not afford this fees then college has got a scholarship program called CGC JOSH and you can get upto 50% off on there fees but it has some conditions. The scholarship is applicable only untill your CGPA is 7 or above. And ROR is also good of this college. The average placement is 10LPA which is not bad.

Campus Life

My college has organised a tech fest called parichay and in that they called bollywood singer dashan raval and did a lot of things it was a 2 day fest . You will not get every book in the library but some books which are in your curriculum.

Hostel Facilities

3.5

Hostel is quite good actually it has all the activities you need like bedminton, basketball, table tennis etc its rent is 110000 per year. Mess food is good but it is too spicy. Washrooms are not good at all.

Hostel Fee: INR 110000 per year

Admission

I haven't giving any entrence exam to get into this college and I don't think so there is any exam if there are seats available you can join the college its as easy as that. No benefits for reservation. You should have opted physics and maths in your class 12th and have scored 60%in class 12th.

Faculty

Like for every 20 people there is one teacher or faculty. He/She can be our problem solver and we can interact with him/her at anytime. Faculties are highly qualified and their way of teaching is super effective and learnable. We can interact with our teachers whenever we want. So there is no such issue.

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 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 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.
