After passing Class X with a score of 9.4 CGPA, I chose Science subject. I got 75.4% in Class XII exams. At the time of college admission, initially I was not interested in any branch of Engineering whether it was Computer Science and Engineering, Mechanical Engineering or any other. I was totally free to select any course.

With a score of 82 in JEE Main I couldn't hope for tier 1 colleges. I also appeared for Anna University entrance exam and got Rank 16. But I started my search for colleges having low fee structure.

I found that HNBGU (Hemwati Nandan Bahuguna Garhwal University) is a central university offering BTech and its fee for one semester is Rs 11,000. Then I switched to the placement part. But soon I realised that it totally depends on me. Work load is minimum here and the professors are good. I came to know about class duration from a senior who told me that there were only 2-3 classes daily. That was all I wanted and participated in counselling.

Quickly moving to the counselling part, this college is in Uttarakhand so I had to reach Haridwar first and then I travelled to Srinagar (Garhwal) by bus. Location of the university is amazing and environment is excellent here.

My college life

I attend classes daily. Professors are excellent and knowledgeable. It is a central university so you do not have to worry about facilities. Hostel fee is around Rs 170 (rent) per month. And, the best part is that extracurricular activities in the university have wide scope because every student is free to attend or participate in any of the activity. Extracurricular activities are organised by every department (since it's a university). You will find one or more auditorium schedule every month.

Honestly, going for CSE at Chandigarh University with your score sounds like a solid choice. I'm saying this because CU has become a hub for tech placements and internships, and the environment is pretty competitive in a good way. Your 88 percentile in JEE Main could also land you a scholarship, whi
