- The faculty for btech can be a bit rigid at times when it comes to the curriculum. Most of the students end up studying through online resources instead of the lectures provided.
- The placement which is claimed to be good is actually nice but majority of students end up with an average package in some average company. The authority spots the children who they think are doing well and only help them when it comes to placement.

Admission
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.
Faculty
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.
