Cloud Computing

Hi.

CU regularly reports that a large number of companies — including major IT firms — visit campus for placements. Recruiters reportedly include big names such as Microsoft, Amazon, IBM, Wipro, Capgemini, TCS, and more. 

According to recent placement reports (2024–2025):

For engineering students overall at CU, the highest domestic package offered was around ₹54.75 LPA, and there have also been "international offers" reaching much higher (per CU's public placement summary). 

For CSE (general + specialized), a “median / average” package range of ~ ₹8 LPA (or slightly more) is often cited. 

Some student reviews (for Cloud‑specialization) claim placement stats like “~85% placed, ” with packages ranging from ~₹6 LPA (lower end) to ~₹50 LPA (top end).

CU claims strong “industry‑aligned curriculum + labs + tie‑ups” for Cloud Computing / modern IT — which may help cloud/DevOps/data‑oriented roles. 

Campus‑wide placement outreach is large: in 2024, CU reportedly had ~900+ companies participating in recruitment drives, placing over 9,000 students across disciplines.

Hi.

The placement situation for students of Chandigarh University (CU) doing MCA Cloud Computing & DevOps is — somewhat mixed. There are good signs, but also some caveats. Here's how things fare, based on recent data and student‑reports.

What looks good: CU's overall strength & some positive placement outcomes

CU as a whole (across branches) has very strong placement‑reach: in 2024, about 9,124 students got placed during campus drives. The highest domestic package offered in 2025 was reported as ₹ 54.75 LPA (though this appears to be for BTech students). 

According to sources, the MCA programme — including the Cloud‑Computing & DevOps stream — is among the branches for which IT‑sector placements are claimed. Reported roles include Cloud/DevOps, software engineer, data‑oriented roles, etc. 

CU promotes strong infrastructure and “industry‑integrated curriculum” (labs, electives relevant to modern IT) for MCA, which helps prepare students for cloud/DevOps, AI, data‑science, etc.

Hi.

1. Admission is primarily through CUCET

Chandigarh University (CU) uses CUCET, its own entrance test, as the primary criterion for seat allotment in all B.Tech/B.E programs — including specialised CSE branches.

Whether you want CSE – Cyber Security, CSE – Cloud Computing, or CSE – Data Science, your CUCET score decides:

Eligibility

Seat allotment

Round-wise merit ranking

 2. JEE Main score helps for scholarships, not admission

CU offers merit-based scholarships for JEE Main qualifiers:

Scholarship percentage depends on JEE Main percentile/AIR.

Even for specialised CSE branches:

High JEE Main percentile → higher scholarship (10–100% tuition waiver)

Low JEE Main percentile → smaller or no scholarship.

Hi.

For the 2024‑25 placement cycle, CU reports that there were 9000+ placement offers overall across courses, with 1100+ companies visiting campus. 

For CSE (including Cloud‑specialized students), the median package in 2024 is reported as ₹ 8 LPA.

The highest domestic package offered in 2024‑25 is ₹ 54.75 LPA. 

According to a listing for the Cloud‑specialization course, in 2025/2024 the highest package recorded for Cloud‑CSE was ₹ 54.75 LPA. 

Recruiters reportedly include many big and reputed companies: Amazon, Microsoft, IBM, Deloitte, HP, Adobe, Google, etc. 

CU promotes that students get “industry‑ready training + exposure, ” and their Cloud‑CSE programme is “in collaboration with” a major IT company (which helps with curriculum + possibly industry‑linkage).

Hi.

While pure “M.Sc in Cloud Computing” is rare in India, many MTech/MSc programs offer cloud specialization:

Top Indian Universities Offering Cloud Computing Specializations

UPES, Dehradun – M.Tech in Cloud Computing & Virtualization

VIT Vellore – M.Tech (CSE) with Cloud Computing electives

SRM University – M.Tech Cloud Computing

Amity University – M.Tech Cloud & Mobile Computing

Jain University – M.Sc Cloud Computing

Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham – M.Tech Distributed Systems & Cloud

Lovely Professional University – M.Tech Cloud Computing

These are good for students wanting to stay in India but still gain strong industry-oriented exposure.

Hi.

An online Cloud Computing course is a great fit for many kinds of learners — but it depends on your goals, background, and career plans.

1. Students (BCA / BTech / BSc IT / MCA / Diploma)

If you're studying in any computer-related field, cloud skills will:

Strengthen your resume

Help with internships and placements

Give you an edge in roles like DevOps, Cloud Engineer, SysAdmin, Data Engineer, etc.

Best for:
Students who want to build job-ready skills early.

2. Working Professionals Looking to Switch Careers

People from IT support, networking, testing, system administration, or even non-coding backgrounds can transition into cloud roles.

Good for:

IT support engineers

System/network administrators

QA testers

Data analysts wanting cloud/data pipelines

Software developers shifting toward DevOps or cloud-native development

Cloud is one of the easiest high-growth tech domains to switch into.

3. Beginners Who Want to Enter the IT Industry

Even if you don't have strong coding skills, cloud computing roles like:

Cloud Support Associate

Cloud Administrator

DevOps trainee
are very accessible.

If you're new but motivated, cloud is a great starting point.

4. Professionals Looking for Salary Growth

Cloud roles are high-demand + high-paying, especially with AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud.

If you want to upgrade your skillset to negotiate higher roles/salaries, this is worth doing.

5. Entrepreneurs / Startup Founders

If you're building a product or service:

Deploying apps on cloud

Understanding cost optimization

Using serverless or managed services

This knowledge can save huge infrastructure costs.

6. Freelancers & Tech Consultants

Knowing cloud gives you access to high-paying freelance work:

Cloud migrations

Web app deployment

Server setup & monitoring

Automation

7. Non-Technical Professionals Wanting IT Exposure

People from commerce, arts or non-IT fields can start with:

Cloud fundamentals

AWS Cloud Practitioner

Azure Fundamentals

Hi.

From the official curriculum and programme description, the languages include:

C — “Programming in C” appears in Semester 1. 

Python — there is a dedicated “Python programming + lab” in Semester 2. 

Likely C+ / Java / other languages — the general CSE programme page lists that graduates are trained in “Python, Java, C+, JavaScript” among others. 

So minimally, there are at least three languages (C, Python, plus C+/Java from general CSE curriculum) taught. According to some sources, students learn up to 5 or more languages including JavaScript — so the “kinds of languages” count might be 4–5 or slightly more.
