A life in Chitkara university

i would rate the course curriculum as largely relevant and fairly comprehensive,. one of the main reasons i chose this course was the balance between conceptual foundations and practical exposure. the curricuum supports future academic growth since many of the modules introduce us to advance topics early, making it easier to explore research. some topics feel slightly outdated and could be aligned better with the current industry skills and technologies. the exam schedule is manageable, though sometimes multiple assessments happen in the same week or same day, ehich adds pressure . Spacing out evaluations a bit more and giving clearer rubrics could improve the overall experience

The fee structure in my college is divided semester wise and the amount is slightly increased for the other batches every year. In the first year , i had paid a total of 1 lacs, from which 15000 was my security deposit, and rest were admission charges. for categories like managemen quota or SC/ST, the fees varies. some of my classmates under the management quota had to pay a significantly higher amount compared to regular admissions, while students under reserved categories generally had lower fees because of government approved concessions. there are a few scholarships options in the college but most of them are merit-based. the main one is the merit-cum-means scholarship which is given to students who maintain a good CGPA. a few students also received small fee waivers based on family income. apart from that, there isn't a very big list of scholarships, so most students manage through regular payments, installments, or education loan taken from the government.

we have one annaul fest, named rangrezz which is going on since 2024, and it is held for 2 days where all inter colleges come participate in the theatre festivel which includes nukkad natak, stage plays, dance activities, music, skit play, stand up , mopen mic etc. we have a collection of journals which are easily accessible in our library, dance clubs, music clubs, theatre clubs, technical and non technical clubs are offered to the students , out of which some are easy to join, some have a selection process. the impact on student life of these clubs are a good way bwcause they teach team work and time manageability and accessibility over life.

i applied to a few colleges including BML Munjal, LPU, Thapar and CU. I recieved confirmation from BML munjal and CU, but after comparing everything carefully, i eventally chose my current college. BML Munjal was a good option, but it was on the expensive side and travel and living costs were also higher. LPU had a lot of options but the crowd and distance were concerns for me, so I didn't go ahead with it. i didn't face any major rejections, but i didn't pursue a few colleges further after the counselling rounds because their cutoffs or fee structures didn't match what i was comfortable with. the admission process of my college was straighforward.it was based on class 12th marks and JEE for non medics, 12th and cuiet for commerce or humantities and neet for medical students and the standard counselling procedure. there was no complicated entrance exam for my course. the cutoffs were reasonable and the documentation part was also simple

we have some internal faculty and for some subjexts, we have trainers called out from different companies. approaching a trainer gets on high because they know only half of the part about the syllabus. main is known by the course coordinator or the spoke and reaching out to them is a task. the faculties i liked were Mr. Dinesh vij my mentor of 2nd year, Dr. Priyanka gupta, my mentor of 3rd year who has been a guide , these 2 professors helped me grow. i personally didn't like the wing commander of our wing, because he puts objection on every single thing. we have 4 exams in total per semester, 2-3 sessional tests and endterm, if you study hard and give your best, u can clear them

we love to hangout at Square 1, which is like a eatery, there are a few eateries inside that, ranging from dominos to la pinoz to first coffee, keventers and the belgian waffle. i am a day scholar so our out timings after class is around 4 pm , for hostellers, it is safe to roam at night and vibe in the college campus we have a gym , a whole building for baminton, table socccer, pool table and more.
