Remarks

The teachers and the overall staff were highly supportive and friendly and addressed my every problem to the best of their level. However there was a lag in industrial exposure which is required to hone up the skills of an engineer but overall it was an amazing experience.

Entrance Preview

No entrance test is required to get entry into your desired course but having a high score can help you get a scholarship. I chose mechanical engineering being from a similar background.

Course Curriculum Overview

The course was a careful planned one but still lagged in practical learning and industrial exposure. Children are encouraged to do research but only a few take actual interest in that. There are 3 options to choose from in elective . 1. Design 2.Manufacturing. 3.Thermal

Internships Opportunities

No, the university doesn't provides any internship you have to find it off campus .

Placement Experience

3.5

The placement are completely dependent on the students capabilities and the university provides a lot of opportunities because of it's extensive tie ups with big giant mnc's .

College Events

Events are organized here and then around the campus. There is not a single day when there is no event in the campus. They include techfests once a year, cultural fest once a year, annual sports day , other small events are organized on an almost daily basis.

Fee Structure And Facilities

It used to have a reasonable fees during my time i.e. during 2013 but now I have heard that fees are sky rocketing as the university became popular. Now it is approximately more than 650000/- for a semester of 6 months.

Fees and Financial Aid

Yes in case of a sibling studying in the same university, exceptional academic performance , high jee score .

Campus Life

4.5

Chandigarh university helped me grow as a professional in my field and guided me at every stage of my education and career so that I can emerge as a successful engineer. Yes the university is extremely concerned about extra curriculars and requisite opportunities are provided. The teachers and the overall staff were highly supportive and friendly and addressed my every problem to the best of their level.

Hostel Facilities

No, I was a day scholar but I visited my friends rooms frequently and they were spic and span. Everything was neatly and elegantly organized and the food was really nutritious and healthy.

External Expense: Rs.2000 - Rs.4000

Alumni/Alumna

No such thing I witnessed in the university .

Exam Structure

Exams and labs are the essential part of the overall course and without hands on learning a person cannot grow. The university understands this requirement and pays extra attention towards such things.

Faculty

As the university is new and growing exponentially therefore there is a shortage of trained and experienced faculty and teaching staff but still there are some professors who are PhD.

Chandigarh University the best university

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.

A TOUR TO CGC LANDRAN

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.
