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.

Really affordable as compared to other universities
Really big campus and good infrastructure hostels are good
There are too many cultural events in collage premises

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.

Quality teachers if the students want to learn from them.

The infrastructure here in Chandigarh University is really great. If it is based on area, view, basic amenities and provided facilities. You can get here everything that you need(food, gym, parlour, stadium).
The faculty's here in cu are well qualified, and relating to teaching methods students are taught here via ppt's , books as well as short notes made by the teacher itself. The mentorship qualities are really good , they help students in every aspect.
Placement drive do happen in CU and for career advancement special classes are also provided under dcpd which help students to sharpen their skills and develop them even more.

Dislikes

The thing that I dislike here being a hosteler is the availability of air conditioners. Air conditioners are not available in all hostels of CU.
Girls residing in hostels doesn't get outings or permission to go out of the university campus on week days.
The have a really hectic schedule for academics.

Student Snaps:

Placement Experience:

There are placements drives being held in the campus but not for the physiotherapy field. But still they do help students to focus on building employability skills through compulsory internships , project works and hospital or clinical tie ups. Many students build strong resumes via internships, research projects, and online certification (Coursera, linkedin),etc. After completing the course I am planning for persuing masters in this field.

The life of the college

Likes

Academics & Faculty: The majority of instructors were very knowledgeable, friendly, and well-versed in their fields. Some encouraged us to think critically and conduct research, going beyond textbooks.
Campus Life: It was simple to pursue interests and hone soft skills thanks to a thriving mix of clubs, societies, technical events, and cultural festivals. I made connections and made friends outside of the classroom.
Placement & Career Guidance: The placement cell was active, inviting established companies from IT, core engineering, finance, and consultancy. Mock interviews, resume-building workshops, and alumni sessions made many of us feel ready.

Dislikes

Faculty Consistency: Although some teachers were motivating, a few used only slides and old notes, which didn't allow much interaction.
Hostel; hostel life was good there are too many shops and you can find everything you want to eat over there because hostel food I think it is ordinary
At starting you can suffer from document delay verification delays

Placement Experience:

There are two types of statement program in our university TPP and non TPP in TPP you want to pay additional 10000 to sit in the placement it will help you to get placement and faculty will focus on you in non TPPfaculty will also help to you but you are not allowed to sit and placement because you are focusing on the outside placement and if you do not get placement through entire round then faculty will help you after also to tell you how to improve and how where you are lacking behind

The placement support and industry connections are genuienly impressive . The university puts a huge emphasis on training
the campus infrastructure is top notch . from equipped labs and modern class rooms to the extensive libraries and sports facilities
the environment is truly conductive to learning and personal growth. the campus life is really happening

Dislikes

the batch sizes specially in CSE . This high student to faculty ratio makes it difficult to get persoalized attention from teachers and professors
the university's location is a significant drawback. it's quite far from the main city of Chandigarh i daily travel 30 km to reach the university .
Some of the administrative process can be very slow and frustrating . simple tasks take a long period of time

Internships Opportunities:

the university has a structured system for the internships, primarily centred around a mandatory 6-month industrial training program that takes place from 6th semester ( essentially, our entire 7th semester is dedicated to this).
