Course Curriculum Overview

3

The curriculum is good and cover every aspects of learning and skills needed in today's time but it feels the semester get over to fast in around 3.5 months with 3 exams and lab exam. They should provide the real learning based on a student interest some student are good in coding but they lack to communicate better, they should focus on that part also as they also do in many cases by giving subjects like soft skills and communication skills every sem.The teacher should not be reading the ppt only . We can do that also why we are paying that much fees just to learn from a teacher who is just reading the slides.

Fees and Financial Aid

I am from BE-CSE and our semester fees is 136000 (joining year 2024) and now for 2025 batch it is increased by 10000Rs. If a student want to go with campus placement they have to pay 12000 just once and if they want to go with other career options they can choose other program as well and if a student dont want to opt any of these he/she can do that. They ask to pay money in 3rd sem. Yes, They give scholarship based on their exam and based on JEE mains score and other criteria and there is also scholarship for defence people but that is around 10% to 20% and for sc/st the fees is totally free but you must have valid proofs. They will charge 2000 security fees once and end of every semester we have to pay semester fee of next semester with 2500 examination fees. Yes, They ask for next some money in one month advance for example in my 3rd sem and our end sem exam have started the 3rd sem on 15 july and the 4th sem will start from 5 january but they have issued notice to pay the fees before 30 November but you can pay the fees later in cash to avoid late fees and at the last moment of time the website will always be down.

Campus Life

5

My overall campus experience was good. I met a lot of peoples they were too kind to me and there is no ragging at all. There are many events like freshers, techfest and internal department level hackathons and many more some with prizes and certificates also. There are library in each block across campus and you can go anywhere you want and there are good range of books from journles to academic to fiction. There are sports event going on every semester form department level to university level. Yes, there are many clubs and societies lead by students and they organize many events for students and provide essential learnings. There is wifi facility in each block and a huge number of labs and library also provide computers for students so that they can use it for acedemic purposes.

Admission

I gave cucet but can't find the college that have cse in their colleges. That time my father was recently posted in chandigarh as chandigarh university was very close to me and the transport is also easy and I don't have to pay the hostel fees and I can be a day scholar also so I choosed this college as it provide a good network of peoples. The admission process was to simple ,I just applied for their entrance online exam cucet and booked a slot gave online test of 100 mcq from the selected domain and after that I got scholarship and to confirm my seat I have to pay 10000 part of my semester fees (that 10000 was from my semester fees) and after doing online formalities and upload document. I got a call that you can come to university and attend classes. The admission process of too simple so I never taught of choosing other college at that time.

Faculty

5

1. If a faculty is absent for a day or week , there will be a substitute teacher of the same subjects. So, no class cancel. 2. Till my third sem the teacher which I really liked were Dr. Zahid hussain wani, Dr Manoj Kumar, Dr Kamyani Shrivastva , Dr. Aleem Ali. They really taught me the real knowledge that helped me. 3. There is like no teacher that I didn't l4.ike but sometimes there action might feels a bit odd but later everything will be good. 4. There are two mid sem and a end sem and for internals we have many thing 4 assessments, surprise test,assigment and many industry related things. The exam are easy to moderate not that much tough , easy to score. The student how have not studied that much will pass easily if he write something relevant to the topic. There is relative marking.The course curriculum is good but seems too fast paced.

Interview Experience

5

No, there is no such topic we have to give cucet exam of college which is in online mode . and the registration process can be done online with all verifications. There is no criteria we just have to pass the cucet exam.

Night Life

I am a dayscholar after university I just take university bus. The university buses depart at 5 pm. My friend from hostel tell me about there hostel life as well. Yes, it is safe to roam free around at night. For boys they can roam inside the hostel gates all the time but girls have to come early the rules are strict and for winter I have seen a notice to come before 7pm I think. The famous hangout place in university is fountain and food republic.

Companies start coming summer internships in the 5th and 6th semester though ,CG cuts are imposed so very less students are elgible to sit for these companies, The real placement season is 7th and 8th semester and many companies visit campus for placements. around 60 percent students got placed in the recent placement drive. The major recruiters are: Oracle, CISCO, JPMC,Deloite,IBM,ZS etc.

Course Curriculum Overview:

I’d rate the curriculum like 7/10 in terms of relevance and comprehensiveness — it covers all the major CSE subjects like DSA, OS, DBMS, CN, AI, ML, Cloud, Cybersecurity basics, etc., and honestly that was one of the reasons I chose this course because at least the core subjects are solid even if PTU keeps some old-school stuff in the syllabus. The curriculum does prepare you for real-world stuff, but only to a point — like, if you focus on coding labs and projects you’ll be fine for internships, but if you depend only on classroom theory then it won’t help much because industry wants hands-on skills. For higher studies also it’s okay because theory depth in subjects like OS and DBMS is decent enough. But yeah, improvements are definitely needed — some subjects feel outdated, teachers should use more practical examples, and we need more real projects instead of copy-paste lab manuals; also some faculty teach directly from slides which gets boring fast. Exams come twice per semester (sessionals) plus the final end-sem around December/May; they’re mostly easy if you write long answers, but tricky if you rely only on understanding because PTU likes theory-heavy questions. Overall, the system works, but it could be way more practical and industry-focused.

Placement Experience:

Placements are not that good. Although companies come, there is a lack of mass recruiters or reputed organizations. One has to grind hard here for placements. If you're a CS student, you will have to face immense competition here. As for core branches, placements are severely dry. Students gets eligible in 4th year onwards for placements. Some of recruiters here are Trident, TCS, Reliance, Sonalika and other few. Every company offers around 10-15 selected students for a job. Highest package ever was 15LPA and average is 3.2LPA. Percentage placed is only around 15% here. My plans after the degree are to apply for govt exams.
