When it comes to Computer Science, placements matter the most. At Chandigarh University BSc Computer Science students have been strong hiring in the past years. In last year the univesity recorded more than 9000 offers with top salary reaching Rs54.75 LPA in India and Rs 1.7 crore abroad. Compaanies like Microsoft, Amazon, Hewlett Packard, TCS and IBM took students for roles in software, testing and data work.

The university placement team arranges industry sessions, corporate talks and training drives to prepare students. Some students join global firms, some go for research, while some work in national IT companies. Placement numbers show good chances for both high end offers and mass hiring, giving students confidence in job security. The opportunities are not limited to one sector but spread across IT services, product companies and consulting.

Microsoft, Amazon, Hewlett Packard, Bank of America, Nokia, Deloitte, IBM, Dell, and SAP Labs were among the leading multinational corporations who chose engineering students for the program. CU students who are brilliant have also raised the bar for obtaining large compensation packages

Of the organizations that made it to the final list of successful ones, 31 gave CU students a salary package of Rs 20 Lacs Per Annum (LPA), 52 offered a package of over Rs 15 LPA, over 100 offered a package of over Rs 10 LPA, and over 304 offered a package of over Rs 5 LPA, 350 fum, including II behemoths like Microsoft, IBM, SAP Labs, and Hewlett Packard, extended the highest number of employment offers to CU's CSE/IT Engineering students-3,548 in all

The department has good media labs, editing rooms and the latest software for students. One special point is the professional TV studio with PCR where students learn camera, anchoring, and live production. Radio Punjab 90.0 FM is another facility that helps in real broadcasting experience. Students also join projects like monthly magazine and online channel, which build their portfolio. Field work is encouraged through photo walks, reporting visits and media trips. Many global programs are also linked, so students learn international media culture. In last semester, students do internships with media houses for real exposure. Overall, the infrastructure supports skill learning in every part of media – print, TV, radio and digital. It helps them to understand industry before they step in.

Some of the industry-collaborated programs in CSE at Chandigarh University are: 

• B.E. (Computer Science and Engineering) (Computer Science and Business Systems) (In association with TCS)

• Bachelor of Engineering (Hons.) (Computer Science and Engineering) (Data Science) (In association with IBM)

• B.E. - Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) Cloud Computing (In association with IBM)

• Bachelor of Engineering (Hons.) (Computer Science and Engineering) (Cyber Security) (In association with IBM)

• B.E. CSE with Specialization in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning (In association with IBM)

• Bachelor of Engineering (Hons.) (Computer Science and Engineering) (with Specialization in Internet of Things & Artificial Intelligence)

Yes, yes why not Chandigarh University is the bestest place to study cloud computing. The university offers a programme where students get knowledge of cloud platforms like AWS and Google Cloud. The course is designed in a way that students study basics like virtualization, storage and security and also advanced areas like serverless and DevOps.
The university also connects students with AWS Academy. This gives them access to practice labs, training, and global level certifications. Students also work on projects, hackathons and industry internships. Cloud computing is used in fields like healthcare, banking and retail so demand is high. CU prepares learners to enter this fast growing field with practical knowledge and exposure. It is a good choice for those who want to make career in cloud computing.

Today no company can run without cloud, so students choosing projects on it is very helpful. Final year projects can be like real-time chat app on cloud, cloud-based file sharing system, online health tracking system with cloud, or library management using distributed resources. Some more ideas are smart transport tracking system, cloud-based payroll system, or integrating AI with serverless computing. Students can test these projects on AWS or Google Cloud and learn scalability and user load management. Such work supports better future scope, as it helps in jobs where cloud solutions are most demanded. These projects also allow team collaboration and practice of virtualization and DevOps skills.

I think that if you get supportive faculty, half of your academic journey is smooth and it's the truth, the faculty at the university is also really good. They are not just teachers, they are mentors. They guide students with everything, from cracking interviews to choosing the right career path. The mentorship at CU is also something worth talking about. One mentor takes care of only a few students. So, every student gets proper attention. They help in studies, give tips for exams, help in time management, and even guide for resumes, internships, and job options. Some mentors even have industry work experience, so they tell how real jobs work. They also help students gain confidence, improve soft skills, and get ready for the workplace, but at CGC, the faculty members are so rude and do not even have the proper knowledge of subjects.

Journalism at Chandigarh University is not just theory. The campus has radio and TV studios where students practice like real media people. The community radio station Radio Punjab 90.0 is run on campus. Students take part in shows, discussions, and local issues programs. For video, there is a professional TV studio with a Production Control Room. Here, students learn news reading, video mixing, and recording shows. Along with this, there are live media projects where students create their own content for campus digital channels and magazines. Photo walks, trips, and field visits are part of the course to make students comfortable in real reporting work. In the last semester, internships and industry training help connect students with media houses. All this makes the course more practical and skill-based, giving students good exposure.
