What Students Say

Likes

Infrastructure: amazing infrastructure and environment to learn in
Holistic development: not just academics, they focus on co curricular, and other activities as well
Faculty: research and development mindset

Dislikes

Hostel conditions: could be way better than the current

Course Curriculum Overview

4.5

Best curriculum being offered for the respective courses across India. Very future proof, and relevant. Exams happen say once a month, other than that the months of technical fests or the first month of the semester, there is mostly an exam each month

Class Size: 65Course Fees: INR 225000 per year

Internships Opportunities

Intern companies that come over are diverse and offer good opportunities. Companies like kla, citi, fidelity, motorq, etc. PPO conversion rate is also decent for these companies. Pay is decent for the opportunities offered

Placement Experience

Highest offer is 1,00,00,000 CTC. Placements are still under development as our first batch of seniors haven't passed out yet. First batch in engineering is 2025 grads. But the placements at the moment are still fine, companies like motorq, ibm, kla, etc visit.

Fees and Financial Aid

Fees per year is 225000 for tuition, is increasing each year for future batches, but we pay the same. There is a 100000 scholarship for one person in each class, based on merit. Other than that there are sports scholarships, and scholarships for students on need basis

Campus Life

There are 15+ clubs on campus, on domains from music, dance, drama all the way to stand up, chess, etc. they give opportunities to those who are interested and showcase expertise in the skill, and ensure exposure at the highest levels, in terms of competition.

Hostel Facilities

Rooms depend on the block you get, it's pretty decent. But there are major issues with the restrooms in a few blocks, and also monkey problems. Another issue is clean drinking water. The mess is good for everyday food, but in general quality and food isn't the best

Hostel Fee: INR 72000 per year

Admission

Didn't make it to nit iit, couldnt crack jee. My batch was the COVID batch of class 12. So board marks for cbse were also awarded badly, so anna university was out of the question for the college expectations I had. Choose between Amrita, vit, sastra, etc. chose snu as it was the best amongst them

Faculty

3.5

Faculty student ratio, is pretty high. There are sufficient well qualified staff. In the perspective of examinations, there are 2 internal exams, 1 midsem and an end semester exam. The difficulty is harder than anna university on a comparative standard, but easily passable with proper dedicated study.

Course Curriculum Overview:

Placement Experience:

In our University from the starting of Seventh semester we are eligible for campus placements. Campanies like Jubilant food works, Zifo Technologies, Amura Heath Pvt.Ltd, Biocon etc. were some of the companies that visited our campus. Around fifty students got offers from these companies. About 70 percentage of the students got placements successfully. I am planning to pursue a master degree abroad

Love the Research setup of our college. Has more than 15 COEs present. ABB research centre is the best among them
The bring in a lot of industry professionals every.One or the other event always keeps happening.

Dislikes

Campus is not very huge since it's in the centre of the city but the outside shops make up for this

Placement Experience:

From the very entry into your third year, you will be eligible to most of the placements. The training provided is very exquisite and some of the trainings start as early as 1st year. 2026 highest package was 55LPA. Many companies like from product companies like Microsoft, Capgemini to service based companies like TCS, INFOSYS etc.. visit our campus for regular placements. About 98% of people placed as far as I have heard.

A Good College Experience with Opportunities for Learning and Growth

Course Curriculum Overview:

The course curriculum is fairly relevant and comprehensive, covering both theoretical concepts and practical applications. It provides a good foundation for technical knowledge, but including more industry-oriented projects, hands-on training, and updated technologies would make it even better for future career opportunities.

i applied to other colleges like vit, amrita, srm, bitsat, snu and got confirmed by other colleges like vit and srm and snu..

Genuine review

This college SNUC is with unique futuristic courses. SNUC has the level of highness that i expected.When you compare SNUC with VIT it is very much better. The crowd in VIT will be very high and there are no sports facilities and extracurricular activities that develop students. That much crowd may be difficult to professors focus on you. In SNUC the campus is 230 acer but the crowd is very less and the professors can easily put there attention on you and also we have international level cricket and football ground. Admission process is only through SNUCEE exam which contain the negative marking also.You have to get more than 75% in your 12 th board exams then only youre eligible for this exam.If you qualify this exam then you will have interview round and after you qualify the interview round you will be sent with a offer letter to admission....Read More

I had applied to SRM University, VIT Chennai and LPU Noida and got a confirmed admission in all of the colleges I applied. I chose SNUC mainly because of the student to teacher ratio. I never faced rejections from the other colleges. So the admission process of my college begins with an entry exam named SNUCEE to be given. SNUCEE exam tests one's knowledge in Math, Physics, Chemistry, English and Aptitude. The portions are the same as JEE Mains. Usually, SNUCEE occurs at three sessions at centres available all over India. Once getting shortlisted after the exam has to give their interview which tests their speaking and commmunication skill....Read More
