So, the curiculum at Shiv Nadar University is very diverse and industry oriented and the vast syllabus made me opt for this course, i opted for cyber secuity and this course is designed in the way I get industry ready and teaches me all the aspects and diverse things in cuber security, I would suggest to improve additional trending courses. The frequent and the timing of exams and their difficulty level are as expected

Placement Experience

5

From 5th semester students become eligible to sit for placements, companies that come for placements select students for internship positions and later its the students ability to bag a Pre Placement Offer which guarantees a job offer. As of now Motorq, Atlassian, WWT, Citi are the companies visited and other FAANG companies are expected in the future. As of now the highest package is 1 crore per anum, average package ranges from 12-15 lpa. 70% of the students of final years have already been placed

Im currently at my 3rd year at Shiv Nadar University Chennai, Im paying Rs.3,00,000/-(per anum) which is the tuition fee and the admission fee is Rs.20,000/- which is one time (non-refundable), for every semester one gets to pay exam fees that varies from Rs.2800/- to 3400/- which depends on the course and stream enrolled, there is no category wise fee.

Campus Life

5

There are many annual fests and tech fests that happen in my college, They include INSTINCTS which is our annual fest, INVENTE AND DAKSHA our annual technical fests. Range of books at my library cover entire courses offer aloneg with the industry specific trends. My college has a wide range of facilities and tech provisions which include air conditioned classroom, sports centre, cafeterias and such

Admission

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.

Faculty

4

the faculty student ratio is what students really admire in Shiv Nadar University, the ratio is 1:20 and the faculties are pretty approachable. Personally, My favourite faculty is Dr. Sundharakumar KB who handles Data Mining and Visualisation Course and he is pretty good in the way he teaches. The Best faculties according to me are Mrs.Divya, Mr.Sundharakumar and Mr.Rohith Kumar

Interview Experience

5

For the admission, After the entrance exam, I had received a call for an interview which was scheduled at the campus. Certain programs had a group discussion or an interview. I had an interview with two professors which was more like a test for my communication skills. The interview questions focused on why i chose SNU, my understanding of the course I applied for, and some real life based questions related to the stream I've chose. To prepare, I focused on my core subjects and stayed updated with the updates emerging in tech industry. I would personally suggest to chill and just have a normal conversation with the interviewer maintaining a good rapo along with interesting conversations.

Night Life

5

There are so many hang out spots which include the clock tower, two huge gyms for both men and women, an open air theatre, 2 libraries with separate cubicle options with sound proofing. Classes timings arw 8:10 am - 3:30 pm and buses for day scholars disperse at 3:50. Famous hang out places include the clock tour, fountain, bme road and the backside area of the gym
