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

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

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
