Review for MCA in PU

The curriculum covers the basic requirements for placements before the placements like DSA, java, C++, SQL, operating system. But still you need alot of practice which you have to do yourself. Theoretical portion is well teached but students face difficulties in practicals as we don't get much help there.

The placement process is began and ended only in third semester as forth semester is for internship. Mostly the companies from tricity visits here like edifecs, chicmic, inno8 etc. MCA students from PU Chandigarh, regional center (Hoshiarpur and Muktsar) students and MSC students sit together for the placements. The highest package from last year was 17 LPA and this year till date is 7.25 LPA. Average package is 4LPA.

There are two batches with different fees: 1. Government Aided: Rs. 36,000 [40 seats] 2. Self Funded: Rs 1,20,000 [60 seats] Admission will be on the basis of your rank and priority filled by you in the admission form.

The campus life here is amazing on the basis of fests. Other than that a good number of seminars and workshops are organized by the department for the guidance. We also get opportunity to apply for hackathons and technical competitions of other colleges. There is no lack of opportunities for extra curricular activities.

It is a little difficult to get the hostel in PU. The hostels are okayish including rooms and food. But the fees is quiet affordable. The rooms are 2 seaters with two beds, two almiras and two tables. There are 10 girls hostel and 8 boys hostel. Alot of pgs are also available near the university, also you can get a room in hostel on the guest basis which have fees equivalent to pgs.

There is an enterance exam namely PUCET-PG for the admission. The difficulty level is moderate, it includes mathematics, english, logicl resoning. The admission will be 50-50 on the basis of ur rank in enterance exam and marks in bachelor's. Cut off depends upon the category you belongs to.

So there are two exams per semester, final exam and mid semester tests. The marks of mid semester tests are included in the final's assessment. The practicals are before theory exams and have separated marks out of 100 including practical exam and your assessment and presence in practical lab.
