Course Curriculum Overview

2.5

well I was forced to choose the course by the campus because there were no seats available in computer science so they forced me to choose IT and said that they would help me change to CS in the second year, but that never happened, anyways the course is good and the subjects are relevant but I dont understand the concept of teaching physics chemistry and math to an IT student and not teaching us how to develop websites and apps, and most of the students had supplied in math physics and chemistry and because of those supply they are not applicable to sit in placement drives, so thats not relevant in any chance

Placement Experience

2

there are campus placements but because of their criteria most of the students get out even before the placements begin, the student becomes eligible to opt for placement in 6th semester, there are compaines like Flipkart, TCS, Infosys, Accenture, and many more but their criteria make it difficult for mot of us to even get shortlist. Only 29% of students were placed from the last batch of 2020-2024, may plan after the degree id to go for master's and opt for some job to get experience in the IT sector.

Fees and Financial Aid

well there are scholarships like PMS and state scholarships but most of the scholarships are for just the students form Punjab only , and there is no financial assistance if we are late in paying the semester fees we'll have to an extra charge of 500 and that will increase if paid late, we can opt loans that are allowed, the campus employment opportunities are there but there are a lot of criteria to sit in the placement drives that is not told to us in the start, they will just smash those criteria on our face that make us very difficult to even sit in the placement drives and all the placement drives are held together for our college and 3 other colleges and institutes that are better than our college so because of that the opportunities for us become very less

Campus Life

4

There are annual festivals like (parivatan) in which there are a lot of cultural performances and even celebrities come to perform. There are a lot of tech events like coding competitions and technical competitions. There are libraries in each block and even a central library which allows us to borrow three books at a time for 21 days each. There are smart classes on each floor There is an annual sports meet every year in which anyone can participate There are alot of student clubs based on their interests like music, photography, etc.

Admission

It is a private college so there is no need for an entrance exam you just need to pass the 12th class and you can get entry into our college, the admission process is quite simple you just need to fill online or offline form and just submit the booking fees that is 11000 and the rest has to be paid after classes start but they will force you to pay the rest fees as soon as possible and even threat you that pay the fees or we are giving your seat to someone else.

Faculty

some of the teachers are really good and approachable they will really help us out in any problem but still there are some teachers that are like not apprachable and they are just doing there own work not for us , sometimes they will just open the ppt and recite the cintent and not even break it down for us but some teachers have very good teaching methods they will really make you understand every thing .

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.
