Experience in SD college Chandigarh

The aspect that really attracted me was the crowd of the college. You will encounter students from different states and ethnicities. As compared to other colleges in Chandigarh, the fights between students are not that common. As for the curriculum, teachers stick to the syllabus and teach that thoroughly so if you want to check whether you will be ready for real-world applications then you are advised to check the syllabus. You would also have the option to involve in various extracurricular activities which will make your resume look good and also help you gain confidence. But if you only stick to the curriculum, it lacks real-life application and limits itself to only theory. The frequency of exams is okay, it's the same for every college in Chandigarh affiliated to Panjab University.

You will be eligible for campus placement from fifth semester, but chances of getting placed are low. So it's better to look for the placements off campus. I have bsc computer science , so I am planning to learn web development and apply for internships offline for now.

The college fee is comparatively higher than the other Panjab University affiliated colleges, and there's an increment in fees every year as fees are paid yearly. You would have placement opportunities in your fifth semester but too low vacancies and the package is not that high. It's better to look for internships and placements off-campus.

Socially college life is great. Various opportunities to get along with people of different cultures, and participate in various extracurricular activities if you're interested. Fests are held regularly but as for celebrities arrival. Virasat, panache, etc fests are held every year. You'll not be bored it's for sure. Library collection is great i must say. You'll have range of books in each field. Its a heaven for scholars and book lovers. The facilities of the college are nice, the computer labs are in great condition, the physics lab are somewhat lacking in availability and maintenance of apparatus. There are various clubs catering to different areas of interest. SD has been winning awards in Bhangra and gidda especially. Sports facilities are okay.

Admissions are merit-based. The initial cutoff is high if you fill form through DHE but in BSc courses especially, it's easy to get admissions. The entire admission process is online, and in most cases, you don't have to visit the college for admissions even once. The process is hassle-free. The admissions forms are available on the college website but before that, you would have to fill the DHE form.

SD college has a great infrastructure, nice exposure and various extra curricular activities. Faculty members and other staff is helping, always ready to cater to the needs of students. Their teaching skills are not to mention great too. The only problem is little strictness as you will be expected to attend classes regularly. Other than that, i personally had a great experience there.
