My experience at Shiv Nadar University

The curriculum is pretty flexible, you have a wide variety of CCC and UWE to choose from. Name the course and it's probable available. If you dont have a lot of time in your schedule a few online courses are available too that you can attend at you comfort. With so many exams, you are bound to have 2 exams in a day sometimes as well. The quizzes for all courses are frequently scheduled very close to each other and you have to grind har to score well. There are approximately 3-4 quizzes, one mid semester exam and 1 end semester exam over the course of 4-5 month semester. Some courses have lab exams and project as well.

The university partners with leading companies to offer internships and co-op placements. Some of the highly named companies are microsoft, amazon, IMB, GS, MCK and a lot more. However the placements for the engineering branches is way higher than other branches that are present.

The companies start offering placements and ppo from 3rd year onwards. The university had a Career Development Centre (CDC) that guides you throughout your placement process. CDC sessions are also held every year from first year onwards. The average ctc offered is 10-11LPA The Highest ctc offered is: 58.09LPA The claim to have 100% placements with companies like microsoft, amazon, IBM, Deloitte, McKinsey and other big names. A lot of students do plan on higher education for future and not appear for the placements.

The year wise fees breakup for Btech Cse is approximately 4 lakhs for the tuition fees and 1 lakh for the hostel fees (depending on the hostel toom you opt for single/AC/Non AC). A one time payment on 52,500 also has to be made while admissions. There are 2 scholarships available: 1. Sports scholarship Applicable for chess, tennis, badminton, squash and table tennis players 2. College board india scholar Applicable for students with SAT score 1300 or higher The scholarship includes tuition fees, hostel fees and mess charges

The annual fest breeze takes place every year in February. Big artists like karun, nanku, akhil sachdeva, twin strings, ashish solanki etc have performed here. The campus turns into a party as soon as these fests are started. With over 60 clubs you always have something to do on campus. Every September a club wars is also held which is a competition between all the clubs. An indoor sports complex with a variety of sports is available. Including rock climbing, badminton, squash, cricket. There is also centre named Atal Incubation Centre for those who want to start their own start ups. Proper funding and guidance is provided to those who need it.

I got admitted in MUJ, VIT, KIIT and SRM as well. However i decided to choose this college because of the freedom and lifestyle the i could get. As it is a residential campus it is compulsory to stay on campus, at the same time it is easy for me to travel back home during the weekend for major festivals. The campus is also just 1 hour away from the airport for those who are from a different state. I got into every college i applied to but SNU somehow had my heart. Due to it's curriculum flexibility and proximity to my home. You can get admission through your SAT, JEE aur SNUSAT score. The SNUSAT is an admission test carried out by shiv nadar university itself. It is a basic calculative and adaptive knowledge test. For a few courses a one on one interview is also held after you clear the SNUSAT.

The faculty to student ratio is pretty decent when it comes to other degrees but in engineering most of the times there is 1 professor teaching to a class of more than a 100 students with no personal attention. Some professors make the quizzes and exams so difficult on purpose so that the students fail. I kid you not, professors have said this themselves. Kamal Singh sir, from department of ECE is one if the kindest and most accommodative souls i have seen in the campus. He makes sure that every studen reaches their full potential and hus positive energy makes you want to attend his lectures.
