Remarks

Chandigarh university is good for placements. Co-curricular are a bit lower. The main focus in this university is for placements. Academics are good whereas teachers are moderate to high in skills.

Course Curriculum Overview

The course curriculum is good at this university. It is adapted from elite institutions. It also provides open electives in the 5th semester through which you can choose your personal interest field. The curriculum is not basic research driven. It is more for placement oriented. Exam structure is pretty good. Equivalent grades are provided after exams.

In CUFEST Punjabi and Bollywood celebrities arrive and show their performance.ABHIVYAKTI is a literary and poetry event in which comedians come from all over India. In fresher's, party freshers show their performance and win prizes.

Fee Structure And Facilities

The fee in the Chandigarh university is less as compared to the to other colleges. Fee for computer science engineering is 79500 per semester. Hostel fee is 84000 and 1500 for the examination fee in a year. There is 500+250 fee for CUTEST and freshers party. Compared to the placements fee is adjustable.

Fees and Financial Aid

I have opted education loan for BE CSE. I have taken the loan from Indian Overseas Bank. For availing education loan you have to visit the bank and after paperwork, you have to give information of your loan to the university and they call in the bank to ensure that you have taken a loan or not. Inside university, banks are also through which you can avail the loan. Students who are studying on an education loan are excluded from fee fine. They can submit the fee at any time.

Campus Life

4.5

Campus life is awesome in this university. There are digital labs in the university. Various competitions are conducted in the university such as hackathons, coding quiz, bug finding, debate, speech etc. The gender ratio is good at the university. Approx there are 2 boys as to 1 girl. Extracurricular activities are good. Students participate in the state and national level competition in sports.

Hostel Facilities

Hostel fee is 84000 pa for 4 seaters. Majority of the rooms in all the hostels are 4 seaters. Mess food is average. Laundry facility is available in all hostel. Hostel infrastructure is appreciable as compared to a fee of the hostel. There are separate hostels for seniors and juniors. Ist year students live in new hostels.

External Expense: Rs.4000 - Rs.7000

Alumni/Alumna

Senior students are helpful. They help you in subjects of your course. In alumni meet, students get to meet to the alumni of the university. Although this meet is conducted less in no. You can take any help from seniors. They do not bully you. In university, you are free to ask anybody anything.

Admission

I have given an exam to get into this college. I have scored 75 marks out of 100 marks. This exam will be conducted by Chandigarh university in the month of May. They also provide scholarships based on the marks scored in cat exam. After that, you will have to lock seat for your course.

The infrastructure is great with state of the art labs and equipment
The library is really nice place to study
Lots of hangout spots in and around campus

Dislikes

Less opportunities for core branches as less core companies visit campus
75 percent attendance policy for classes
Very high fees compared to other colleges

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.

Life at CGC Landran

Likes

Infrastructure, most teacher behaviour, friendly students
Environment , cleanliness, colleagues etc
Course, Locality, Faculty, Management etc

Dislikes

Some high teacher behaviour, also that of professor
Frequent demand of money as fees n hostel charge
Gym is provided but only for name, no fame , always full

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.

Good infrastructure, campus and faculty. Have to improve placements and industrial visits.

Likes

The campus is very green and clean. Infrastructure is good and one can feel fresh air here in campus
The faculty is excellent, almost all of the professors and assistant professors have a degree from renowned institutes. So they know their subject and field very well.
Hostels are good and affordable. Although the hostels itself are old, services are good and you get a nice room for the price/rent

Dislikes

The crowd isn't good. Always demotivated to do anything productive regarding studies. Some people are just here for time-pass
Very less site and outdoor visits. For practical experience, they should conduct industrial visits, but that happens rarely
Placements are really Dry and there is decline in company visits for placement.

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.

Chandigarh University is the only private university having NAAC A+. I think this prestigious grade is very important as your degree is accepted globally. Good aspects are faculty members are very friendly. Lots of fun while studying. Provides many opportunities to make the future brighter. The admission process is very simple you have to register and then you can fill the fee and finally you are the student of Chandigarh University.
