What Students Say

Likes

Our college infra is really very good, campus is really beautiful all the necessary labs are there.
Our college also have E- CELL where you can share your idea be it anything business idea, startup idea. If they liked it they will help you with that providing and even funding too.
Placement is decent in this college. You can get good placements if you work hard on your skills. Average package is around 5 LPA

Dislikes

Campus is bit small compared to other top colleges, but still it is enough as all things are available

Course Curriculum Overview

I feel that course curriculum need to be updated, but as the college is affilated to ptu so college can't help in this as ptu is a govt. body but yeah we are taught HTML, CSS, C++, C in the first year itself. Classes are from 9:30 am to 4:00 pm. Saturday and sunday are holidays

Class Size: 60Course Fees: INR 140000 per year

Internships Opportunities

companys like IBM, TCS, all major MNC visit our college. They provide package around 5 lpa. Also there are many company visiting our college providing package above 10lpa. Role offered are Software engineer, software developer intern etc

Placement Experience

Placements are decent in our college average is around 5 LPA. Good amount of company visit our college. Highest was around 48 lpa if i'm not wrong average lies between 5 lpa. Talking about the placemnents percentage i have no idea in that case as im in my first year

Fees and Financial Aid

The fees is around 1.45 lakhs per year. There are facility of scholarships through the cgc josh, however i have not given that but many of my friends have given and also got good scholarships. Also for the student of bihar they can take the benefits of bihar student credit card (DRCC).

Campus Life

we do have good and lots of cultural as well as technical events in our college. Our annual techfest is SAVISKAR and also we have nice freshers party. there are lots of student clubs library clubs, tech club, dance, music, bands, sports mostly all clubs are present in our college

Admission

I took direct admission in this college through my 12th class percentage. You should have 60% + to take cse in this college. I chose this college because it was providing me decent ROI also the campus was nice.

Faculty

Talking about the faculty members they are average. The faculty to student ratio is around 1:60. Faculty are generally helpful. Exams are moderate not that tough. In a semester you will have 2 mid semester test and one final paper. As my college is affilated with PTU so syllabus is same as PTU give us.

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.

Good Campus Life, Great Exposure, and Plenty of Opportunities at Chandigarh University

Likes

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 campus has good labs, a library, and facilities that support students academic development.

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.
