Really good infrastructure and a great place for networking, although academics is a little average.
Placements: So around 15-20% of my batch students were placed by sitting in the campus placements, and many others had gotten placed on their own. The placement for Mass Communication and Journalism is very limited to Punjab news publications and 2-3 national publications and also not for any other streams like Advertising, Public Relations, Copywriting, or Travel Journalism even.
Infrastructure: But the infrastructure of CU is amazing and has a lot of places to hang out and is an amazing place to make friends and networking connections. The infrastructure will never disappoint you, whereas you guys have to be a little careful with the guards and the main road.
Faculty: The faculty members were very much educated and qualified at my time, although many have left the college this year due to changes in management and rigid course plans and no scope of improvement. The examinations, on the other hand, target basic knowledge questions about your course and ensure that a student is clear about the basics and gets a complete hold of the same.
Other: The environment is good, with many hygienic places to eat from and a surreal connection with nature. The campus is full of exciting opportunities, and most importantly, a student, apart from its academic depth, gets a lot of exposure if they join clubs and try to get into events. Although the depth doesn’t really support you, a little fun in college life doesn’t harm.

Very good facilities and mentors, and the infrastructure was quite good as well.
Placements: Basically, in our field, there are many opportunities if you are a good candidate. There are multiple students who get placed at once; so, according to me, it's a good way to start. Some of the students are not placed because if you want to get placed, you need to take action and start searching for it, so it will be quite helpful for your future goals.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure was quite good and helpful for students. Actually, I have never been in the hostel, so I don’t know, but I have heard from my friends that the food was quite good, and the infrastructure of hostels was tremendous. I have also tried some of the dishes that were amazing, and the canteen has all types of food. Whatever you want to eat, you can easily find it.
Faculty: Yes, the teachers were good and helpful mentors who are always there for you no matter what and help you out in every kind of situation that you are facing. The semester exams were okay, not that tough; the thing was pretty clear. If you have attended the classes regularly, then it's not going to be a big deal for you.

Overall, it is a good college experience.
Placements: Atleast half of my batchmates were placed through campus but some prefer self-placements. Many were doing jobs after getting a degree from college. As in B.J.M.C., money was very less. The highest salary package offered was 5 LPA. The lowest wasn't disclosed. Zee News was the top media house. One of my friends is the editor of a big TV channel.
Infrastructure: Wi-Fi speed was awesome in 2019. It was almost 10 Gbps. Labs were quite good. A good number of PCs were available for all the students. Classrooms were large. They had good light, air, and boards. Projectors were available in all the classes. I was living in a hostel. To be honest, we prefer to eat at least 3 days outside as you know about the hostel food. Wednesday morning breakfast is full of protein, and Thursday afternoon lunch is good.
Faculty: Teachers were student-friendly. They were helpful, well-qualified, and knowledgeable in their fields. I was reserved with the practical work as they focused more on copybook teaching rather than working in the field. Semester exams were the proper test of our knowledge and capacity. Overall, they were good teaching staff members.
Other: I wanted to get the breaking news, so I opted for this course. If they can do more practicals, it will be helpful.

Review of Chandigarh University (CU).
Placements: For our course, students must have skills rather than a degree. If a student has skill, they can apply anywhere and can easily get a job if they outshine form others. Very few students are placed in our course, only the most deserving students get placed by the top news channels, newspapers, and radio stations. Around 20-30% of students get internship from our course in big companies like Zee news.
Infrastructure: The facilities provided by this university are very well. Students have separate laboratories for each practical subject and has a good library in each department which has a good variety of books. Classrooms are large and have SMAT class, but do not have air conditioner which creates a big problem during summers. Hostel rooms are well, and the food served is good and healthy. The facilities for other co-curricular activities are available.
Faculty: Teachers are supportive and cooperative. They provide good knowledge of theory as well as practical. Students have studied most things online so they have not face such issues with exams as the exam is objective and students are already taught everything that came in the exam. Course do help students make them industry-ready. Exams are normal so students can pass them with little preparation.
Other: I chose this course because this is way different from others and it is very interesting as well. The students who like to explore a lot can go for this course. If practical knowledge is given to each student individually then it will be better. There are a lot of events that are organized by this university almost every month, and students enjoy them a lot. There is a huge crowd on the campus. Competitions and many events are organized for extracurricular activities on regular basis. Scholarships are provided to students while taking admission by giving a scholarships exam.

Infrastructure: If you get a chance to stay in the hostel for once in your life, then I suggest going for it. It is a life-changing lesson as you go through many good and bad experiences.
Faculty: Faculty members at Chandigarh University are more in number. Programmes under faculty members of electrical engineering provide opportunities for all the students to expand their horizons, both personally and academically. They also help in growing the diverse university culture. Faculty members of engineering continue to expand with an international focus, forming partnerships with universities globally. Faculty members of engineering also undertake important research within their discipline areas. Chandigarh University offers electrical engineering and is committed to giving in-depth, globally acceptable all-around knowledge to students.
