What Students Say

Likes

Hostels are pretty good and infrastructure is also good.
College is green all around with alot of trees.
The faculty teaching and non teaching is decent.

Dislikes

Location was the biggest disappointment.
Security guards are rude and unfriendly.
In DCPD subjects students should have over 90% attendance or they are debarred/detained.

Course Curriculum Overview

Overall the course curriculum is pretty good but there are certain unwanted or we can say extra courses that are to be done for the course credits which do not help in course related skills. Though they are helpful in overall development of the students.

Class Size: 70Course Fees: INR 106000 per year

Internships Opportunities

Like placements, University gives internship opportunity to all the students. At the time of placements companies give internship opportunities as well. Students can go off campus as well to get internships.

Placement Experience

Overall the placements in the university are good in the previous years but this time the story is different because of the student strength in the 2022-2026 batch. The placements are going to be there but not sure for howmany students.

Fees and Financial Aid

My Semester fees is Rs. 1,06,000/-. Which makes Rs. 2,12,000/- per year with an additional Rs. 2000/- examination fees per semester and a total of Rs. 4000/- per year. That comes to a grand total of Rs. 2,16,000/- per year. This fees structure is given at the time of admission to the students and is fixed during the course. Their is no registration fee. They also have a scholarship exam for students that is CUCET, scholarship is given to the students based on their marks in the exam.

Campus Life

The campus life is pretty good and all. There are many curricular amd cocurricular activities and events to take part in to develop students as whole. Students can join clubs to increase there network and get involved in various activities.

Hostel Facilities

Hostel faculties are up to the mark. Rooms and washrooms are cleaned daily by staff. Proper mess facility is provided to students for food. Menu keeps on changing according to seasons. Hostel have 3,4 and 5 seater options. Compared to the accommodation outside the hostel or campus hostel seems cheaper and better option.

Hostel Fee: INR 89000 per year

Admission

I choose this college because I could not clear jee exam and moreover my elder brother also studied from this college and got placed. This made me and my family trust this college more over any other college.

Faculty

Faculty of the university is from diverse regions of the country. Faculty is friendly in most cases and cooperating. Helpful to the students and knowledgeable. There are 2 mid semester tests and 1 end semester tests and practicals before end semester test.

Night Life

College allows hostel students to enjoy freely in campus even after the class time is over and libraries are open till 10 pm daily. Students can involve in various sports activities at night time of they like.

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.

more internship opportunities would further improve students professional growth.

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.

Likes

college life of Chandigarh university is so good, all the events do happen .
teachers are so experienced and they are so supportive in here.
the placements in this university are great, all the big tech companies do visit while placements and provide jobs to the deserved students.

Dislikes

All the online courses should be reduced.
nothing is there in the university that is to dislike.
majority of the things are all good in our university.

Placement Experience:

The placemnets in the university starts from the 3 year only. companies comes in the 3rd year, students= can give interviews in this year, and they can get the NOC. wich means you can go for the job or the iinternship and there is no need to take the classes, because you are taking the indyustry level experience in the prior basis also.

Likes

Events are more frequent here and most of the stars from punjabi industry are called more often for film promotions
No ragging is there infact seniors are friendly and try to help juniors
TPP (training and placement program) is provided that help students to crack placements

Dislikes

Attendance criteria (minimum 75 % is essential to maintain to be eligible to give exams)
Class timings are fixed from 9:15 to 4:35 and you can not enter in between 10 to 12:00 PM as gates are closed for this duration
Strength is rapidly increasing as new courses are introduced which increases competition during placements

Placement Experience:

Placements are decent, from 6th semester students become eligible for campus placement students need to enroll in TPP(Training and placement program) in order to get eligible for campus placement, Many companies visit our campus for eg Capgemini, LNT, ZSCALER, EDIFECS, AMAZON, PWC, WATCHGUARD TECHNOLOGIES etc overall above 200 offerrs are made to our senior batch with the highest package of 32LPA and average package of around 4.5LPA. more than 60% of students get placed .

College Life is Fun, Various activities and events happen in and around college, you got to know about others and crowd is also decent, Mostly Students are from northern regions that is Himachal Pradesh, Punjab, Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand .
Teachers are good and placement coordinators also help students to get good package on campus. a decent package can be bagged by a student if he/she seriously study and obtain a decent CGPA in exam. Make sure you clear all exams till 8th semester.
Infrastructure Is also good, laboratories are fitted with new desktops and campus size is also decent, Tuck shops and various Canteens are available inside the campus. Also Central Library is there inside the campus where students can study in exam t

Dislikes

The curriculum for 1st and 2nd semester is purely based on subjects that you studied in 11th and 12th, the advance versions of those topics are there in 1st and 2nd semester which make it difficult for students to get good grades.
The placement in other branches like Mechanical, electrical is mere, and one can face difficult in getting on campus placement if he/she belongs to these streams. Also Lack of practical knowledge is there in these streams, Theory is more focused.
If one opt for hostels, then the hostel facilities are not as good as it should be , the mess food is pathetic and one can face difficulty if he/she opt for hostel, also campartively hostel fees are also very high, whereas nearby Pg's are cheaper

Placement Experience:

placement is good in our college. Aveage package is 400000, and average package for cse stream is approx 500000. Various companies like alstom, infosys, accenture, TCS, Wipro, amazon, Walmart, JP Morgan chase and co. etc visit campus every year and recruit students. Approx 300+ companies visit campus and above 80% of cse students are placed but In other streams like ECE.EE and ME etc placements are campartively lower and students face difficulty in order to get placed. MY plan is job oriented i also want to get placed on campus and hope so i will get placed in a good company.
