Chandigarh University doesn't run a branch of aeronautical engineering. Although it has aerospace, automobile, and mechanical engineering branches. CU is great for any of these branches. Here are the reasons why.

Academics:

• All these three branches have skilled faculties from reputed institutes.
• The curriculum is designed according to the recent industry needs so that you can be ready for the corporate world after graduation.

Laboratories:

The infrastructure of the institute is great. There are many industry-collaborated laboratories on campus such as Mahindra and Mahindra lab, Aero Modelling lab, Flexible manufacturing lab, Honda Professional Automotive Training and Research Centre, Aircraft and Spacecraft Materials lab, Aerodynamics lab, Flight Hangar, and lab, etc.

Placements:

Placement for these three branches is quite great at CU.

• According to the recent placement statistics, more than 115 companies selected 530 students from the Mechanical, Aerospace, and Automobile Engineering branches.
• The average CTC offered to the students of these branches is around 9 LPA.
• Mahindra and Mahindra, Royal Enfield, Ashok Layland, John Deere, Indigo Airlines, TAFE, MRF, are the top automobile and aviation companies that recruited Automobile Engineering students.
• While companies like Reliance Industries, Godrej, Tata Technologies, Jindal Steel, Schindler, are the major recruiting companies for Mechanical students.

All three of these branches are equally good at CU, so choose according to your interest.

It will be better if you don’t consider MBA from Taxila business school as an option. While considering a B-school you should always look for a college that has great infrastructure, curriculum, faculties, environment, placement opportunities, and learning opportunities. And Taxila business school will not fulfill the above criteria.

You should select business schools that have ranked well in the Times Business school rankings. Try to choose Tier 1 MBA institutions. If you have a good MAT score along with a good academic record then you can surely get a good institution. Also, if possible try to score well in CAT, ATMA, and other examinations too. That way you will have better options.
