Life at Chandigarh University A CSE Student

Internships Opportunities:

internship opportunities are quite decent but you have to be proactive to get the best ones. The university has tie ups with companies like Microsoft, Amazon AWS Academy, IBM, Infosys, Cognizant and Capgemini for training programs and internships. Most students get internship opportunities from the 2nd or 3rd year onwards. Roles offered include software developer intern, web developer, data analyst, AI and machine learning intern, and sometimes cloud or cybersecurity roles. Stipends vary a lot. Some internships offered through campus or training programs are unpaid or give a small stipend around 5k to 10k per month. Good off campus internships or top performers can get 15k to 30k per month or even higher. In terms of projects, students usually work on real world tasks like building web applications, creating APIs, working on datasets for analysis, or developing machine learning models. For example, one of my friends worked on an e commerce website during internship and another worked on a data analysis project using Python. The outcome of these internships is quite helpful as students gain practical experience, improve coding skills and build strong resumes. It also increases chances of getting better placements.

Four Years of Growth , Grit and Glory

Likes

Beautiful campus with provided facilities from advanced labs to workshops . High greenery , gardens , parks and grounds.
Friendly and supporting faculties , easy to communicate with the faculties around . People from all around the world , within the country and from out of the country too .
Multiple events ranging from block level to national level events . High exposure with multiple artists or mentors. Security and proper coordination in event adn organisation

Dislikes

Unwanted subjects are added to the academics of no use .
Overpopulation in the univeristy . University never stops their admission which reult into a lot of admissions and there is very less criteria of admission which result into a lot of crowd .
Attendance criteria is very strict and provisions for rectifying the attendance puts a lot of pressure on the faculty as well as the student . One must have an attendance of 75% , even if your attendance ids 74 % yoou will not be elligible for exam

Placement Experience:

In Chandigarh University you are being elligible to sit in the placement from the end of the 6th semester . A large no. of companies visit the unversity daily for all type of departments talking about my department , companies like Zopasmart , JTG , EY , JP Morgan , TCS , Cognizant , Deloite and many other companies came for the college comapnies with ann average comapny selected upto 10 -12 students . Till now the highest package offered is 37 LPA for the role of software developer . Talking about the no. of students placed from the total students in the batch i would say less then 30% percent of the total students have been placed from the university campus placements till now . Curently i am also focusing on the campus placements to get a start to know more about the corporate world , If i am unable to get a campus placement the i ll go for offline interviews and spends 4 to 5 years in the field after that i ll start my own buisness .

Chandigarh University - A Wise Choice

Likes

Really well built infrastructure , like you have everything you can possibly need in this college... Proper hygeine , spacious area , modern infrastructure , labs , playing fields etc etc
Multitude of events and various clubs to choose from , based upon your hobby. CU really emphasizes on overall growth of the student
Very great placement opportunities overall , lots of companies hiring every year and if you are competent... You are bound to be selected due to such great exposure

Dislikes

Teachers aren't very great out there , various new teachers and part timers... Overall the guidance might be bad at times
School like strictness in college really restricts your personal freedom with various overly strict rules
Too much student crowd , the teacher of student ratio isn't good which affects the individual attention every student gets here.

Placement Experience:

There are a multitude of oppurtunities in placements at CU , you become eligible at around 5-6th Semester ( it varies ) All major companies like amazon , godaddy , Deloitte , Wipro , Microsoft and 1000+ more companies visit the campus resulting into a staggering 8000+ offers recieved by students of the University Highest package in my current session of placement is 41 LPA by Godaddy and average is somewhere around 6-7LPA , there are a multitude of post offered from Software engineer to developer , database management , buisness analyst , data analyst etc Placement percentage is a really variable factor but more than 50% of students surely gets placed for the bare minimum. My personal plans after the degree is to either get a decent paying job or pursue higher education which highly depends on future scenario.

Dislikes

Hostel food is mid it's just good enough to eat
Too many students which increases competition
There are two mid sem which is too much per semester

Internships Opportunities:

Current in 5th sem there not so many companies right now but I have heard from senior that in 6th sem and 7th sem many companies visit for placement drive providing internships and ppo on performance. Recently oracle and paypal visited our collage for internship and they selected 2 to 4 students. Stipent was around (70k to 90k per month) Competition is really high here. Students have to build projects for good resume here many companies shortlist student on the basis of there projects. My students are going in the line of development so they make project on web development mostly.
