Remarks

College management try their best. But it still isn't what it could be

Course Curriculum Overview

3.5

They have 3 sessionals per semester, 2 will be counted, like max marks. So it's okay even if you miss one. Sometimes there are 2 sessionals in one day, morning and evening. Then there is semester exam, which PTU takes. It can be hard sometimes, but mostly it's not that hard (won't say easy) course curriculum is okay, sure needs an updation in subjects like data science is not there if you're wondering

Placement Experience

4

Placements are good. They won't pay that much, but there would be many companies which'll visit. Almost everyone will get placed. They'll range from 2.5 LPA to 32 LPA, most of they will pay standard 3.5 LPA. Companies? Microsoft, Amazon, Deloitte, Dell, Mu Sigma, Evalueserve, Cognizant, Wipro, start ups, and a lot more

College Events

4

Freshers party is not that good, but in my second year, Badshah came for something different, some red bus tour, but our college combined them. Parivartan fest is there, the annual fest of our college, it's great. It's a 2 days fest. Then there are tech fests from each department too. And they celebrate some local festivals like Makkar sakranti lohri etc.

Fee Structure And Facilities

Fee structure is very much feasible. It must be higher than what it was for me. But for 2014 to 2018 batch, it was about 45 thousand per semester college fees and 75 thousands per year hostel fees. If you want a direct admission, you might have to pay extra one times fees in lakhs, but it's very much negotiable. They asked 2 Lakhs from me and I didn't pay anything, but people did, some in thousands, some in lakhs

Fees and Financial Aid

Didn not avail it, but my friend did, he availed an education loan and his tuition fees like 14 thousands per semester whereas it was 45 thousands per semester for us. But he had to pay hostel fees like others only. If you can avail, please do, it's great.

Campus Life

4

Campus life was greattt. It's large enough, a lot of parks. There's an "Ashiqui Chowk" in front of girls hostel. Diversity? Majorly north Indians only, a few african americans, and I don't recall seeing anyone from south. Atleast 70% are Punjabis by the way. But there's no ragging or racism in campus as such. People are great there. Gender ratio was like 6.5 boys to 3.5 maybe. But doesn't matter, you'd find someone ;)

Alumni/Alumna

I'd give them 8/10. We have annual alumni meets in Pune, Bangalore and NCR. It was recently started. It's not for a particular year though, there would ne one Annual meet for alumni from any year

Admission

I opted for CSE in B.Tech. I opted for IT in all the other colleges, I chose CSE here because I was sure I wouldn't join this (no offence to college, I had other plans) but destiny has its own way. There were some personal reasons I chose this college, but well the location is good, it's near to NCM mall and Chandigarh, and you'd grow on street market around college. As for the admission process, there are 2 way, one is merit list from PTU, other is direct admission, I took latter, then they'd ask you which college? There are 2 engineering colleges in same campus, CEC and COE. I chose CEC, you should too. It's much older.

Faculty

4

Faculty was good. Reallly good. Like I said, curriculum needs an update. But for the subjects we did have. They were great. Age ranging from 30-50. But all of them had clarity about their subjects. Some had industry experience too. I don't remember the no of lectures but timings of college were 9:15 to 4:30, something like that

Placement Experience:

Companies start coming summer internships in the 5th and 6th semester though ,CG cuts are imposed so very less students are elgible to sit for these companies, The real placement season is 7th and 8th semester and many companies visit campus for placements. around 60 percent students got placed in the recent placement drive. The major recruiters are: Oracle, CISCO, JPMC,Deloite,IBM,ZS etc.

Course Curriculum Overview:

I’d rate the curriculum like 7/10 in terms of relevance and comprehensiveness — it covers all the major CSE subjects like DSA, OS, DBMS, CN, AI, ML, Cloud, Cybersecurity basics, etc., and honestly that was one of the reasons I chose this course because at least the core subjects are solid even if PTU keeps some old-school stuff in the syllabus. The curriculum does prepare you for real-world stuff, but only to a point — like, if you focus on coding labs and projects you’ll be fine for internships, but if you depend only on classroom theory then it won’t help much because industry wants hands-on skills. For higher studies also it’s okay because theory depth in subjects like OS and DBMS is decent enough. But yeah, improvements are definitely needed — some subjects feel outdated, teachers should use more practical examples, and we need more real projects instead of copy-paste lab manuals; also some faculty teach directly from slides which gets boring fast. Exams come twice per semester (sessionals) plus the final end-sem around December/May; they’re mostly easy if you write long answers, but tricky if you rely only on understanding because PTU likes theory-heavy questions. Overall, the system works, but it could be way more practical and industry-focused.

Placement Experience:

Placements are not that good. Although companies come, there is a lack of mass recruiters or reputed organizations. One has to grind hard here for placements. If you're a CS student, you will have to face immense competition here. As for core branches, placements are severely dry. Students gets eligible in 4th year onwards for placements. Some of recruiters here are Trident, TCS, Reliance, Sonalika and other few. Every company offers around 10-15 selected students for a job. Highest package ever was 15LPA and average is 3.2LPA. Percentage placed is only around 15% here. My plans after the degree are to apply for govt exams.
