Architecture

The department supports them to join such events so they can show their talent, get new ideas, and work with students from other places.
Students have taken part in many national-level contests and also won prizes. In the Arttd'inox 3D Challenge by JSL Lifestyle Ltd., CU students grabbed the first prize. In a case study contest by Saint Gobain, they stood as the First Runner-up at the national level. They also join the National Association of Students of Architecture (NASA) events, where zonal competitions and workshops give them more exposure. These achievements show how the department encourages creativity and provides platforms where students can test their skills and gain real-world experience.

Yes, yes campus is safe and secure for everyone be it Architecture or student of some other course or program. At the main GATE only there are 4 to 6 guards and near the main campus also there were 3-4 guards. The entry is also very strict as no one can enter without permission. The whole campus has CCTV cameras. The university has women cell which is run by a senior female teacher.  The cell takes care of all things related to women. If there is any issue, the Women's Cell helps. It also makes sure that there is an Anti-Sexual Harassment Committee. This committee looks after serious cases. No bad behavior is allowed, and strict action is taken if needed.I also heard that several talks, seminars and workshops are organized at the university for both female students and staff members where self-defense is taught. The environment at Chandigarh University is really very safe. 

Choosing Architecture means you also think about career after studies. Many students from universities manage to get jobs if they do practical training and internships seriously. Architecture jobs are not only in designing; they include project management, urban planning, interior design, research, and sustainability. Some students also start their own business or work with government projects. Companies notice students who have done internships and hands-on work. Packages can vary, and top recruiters sometimes offer between 4–8 LPA. So, while it depends on your work and practice, Architecture students generally have good placement options after completing their degree.

The environment is built for open studios that allow a free flow of ideas and building up teamwork. Students participate in site visits, workshops, and design projects to observe the semblance of concepts in the real world. All of these, from material exploration to model-making, aid in the comprehension of space. Faculty members often guide these activities through seminars, FDPs, and talks that bring in a lot of new perspectives.
