What Students Say

Likes

Professors are very approachable and also helpful
The sports is getting recognized a lot here
The career placement cell works hard to get companies

Dislikes

The fees is not worth the quality they are offering
Academic load and pressure is too much and hence no time for other activities.
No social events which makes the college life a bit dull

Course Curriculum Overview

The relevance of the course is pretty high as it delves deep into what the company actually wants. The mix of stereotypical courses and revolutionary courses like ML and AI and TOC are great help when applying and getting into the industry.

Class Size: 100Course Fees: INR 1000000 per year

Internships Opportunities

BCG - 1.85 Lakhs per month (Junior consultant) Arcesium - 1.25 lakhs per month (Software development engineer) JM financial - 50k per month ( Financial Analyst) Other companies under tech and finance also come offering an average package of 50k

Placement Experience

3.5

As of now, no batch has passed out yet, although, the internships they have been offered and the PPO's they have got looks very promising. BCG, Predli , Arcesium, JM , Flipkart are the most prominent. The highest internship package I have heard was 3 lakh per month. Average would be 50k per month. My plans are getting a good job after completion of Btech.

Fees and Financial Aid

The fees keeps on increasing every year. For now, the total fees per year is 10lakhs, with 4 being for hostel and mess and 6 for tution. Plaksha offers a variety of scholarships, in which the most common is a merit scholarship of 25%.

Campus Life

1.5

The social life is pretty dull, as it is a new college, no fests have yet happened. The team does promise to host a fest this year but it has not been confirmed yet. As the academic pressure is too much, nothing happens other than studies and sports.

Hostel Facilities

A table, matress, cupboards, chairs, table lamp and storage spaces are given. The hostel is cumpolsary as it is a residential course. The hostels and mess are a bit expensive, the rooms are worth , but the food is not.

Hostel Fee: INR 400000 per year

Admission

The college was recommended to me by my physics professor after my mother said no to go abroad. I applied to HKUST and even get an offer from them, however, I had to settle for Plaksha as I did not have scope to give entrance exams of other private universities . My college accepts almost all sorts of exams from boards to JEE. And you dont have to be an academic excellence to get into the university.

Faculty

4.5

The college professors are actually really helpful and keen to talk to students. The faculty to student ratio is around 1:15. The best faculties are the ones for AI and ML as they are young and understand students well. There are a lot of assessment components and hence it is hard to score well on all.

Interview Experience

4.5

Yes, I had a technical interview as well as a personal interview. The technical interview consisted of writing an essay testing your entrepreneuial skills, the personal interview was more of a discussion and was relatively very comfortable.

Exploring life at Chandigarh University

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.

Life at CGC Landran

Likes

Infrastructure, most teacher behaviour, friendly students
Environment , cleanliness, colleagues etc
Course, Locality, Faculty, Management etc

Dislikes

Some high teacher behaviour, also that of professor
Frequent demand of money as fees n hostel charge
Gym is provided but only for name, no fame , always full

Course Curriculum Overview:

I’d rate the curriculum like 7/10 in terms of relevance and comprehensiveness — it covers all the major CSE subjects like DSA, OS, DBMS, CN, AI, ML, Cloud, Cybersecurity basics, etc., and honestly that was one of the reasons I chose this course because at least the core subjects are solid even if PTU keeps some old-school stuff in the syllabus. The curriculum does prepare you for real-world stuff, but only to a point — like, if you focus on coding labs and projects you’ll be fine for internships, but if you depend only on classroom theory then it won’t help much because industry wants hands-on skills. For higher studies also it’s okay because theory depth in subjects like OS and DBMS is decent enough. But yeah, improvements are definitely needed — some subjects feel outdated, teachers should use more practical examples, and we need more real projects instead of copy-paste lab manuals; also some faculty teach directly from slides which gets boring fast. Exams come twice per semester (sessionals) plus the final end-sem around December/May; they’re mostly easy if you write long answers, but tricky if you rely only on understanding because PTU likes theory-heavy questions. Overall, the system works, but it could be way more practical and industry-focused.
