A good place if you like isolation.
Placements: Everything is well-organized on the campus. In my course, there are no placements, but in some courses, there are placement offers, like agriculture or food technology. The campus placements for those courses are good, and internships are also there. Students get good packages.
Infrastructure: Wi-Fi facility is available in the lab, classrooms, hostels, as well as in the mess. The library facilities are also good, and it is open until 2 AM. Passionate students can study there for a long time. After that, the hostel has reading rooms where students can go to study. It helps a lot during exams.
Faculty: Teachers are highly qualified and help students find a better path. Biochemistry is not a relevant course, but it is good enough to clear CSIR NET if you really want to. The course is designed in such a way that most of topics of CSIR are covered through the three semesters of coursework.

M.A. in English - Batch of 2024

5Placements5Infrastructure5Faculty5Crowd & Campus Life5Value for Money
Overall, it is the best university for the M.A. in English course.
Placements: English placements were fairly good. No positions were available in Chemistry, Physics, or any other field. The average starting wage was between 10 LPA and 12 LPA, the minimum was between 2 LPA and 5 LPA, and the maximum was over 15 LPA. Students were losing good agreement after passing the third quarter M.A. with a score of over 92%. Higher-level positions included teacher, secretary, and so forth.
Infrastructure: Students could use the Wi-Fi offered on campus. The lab workers were actively involved in maintaining labs. Air conditioning and frequent maintenance were features of classrooms. It was a big library with lots of books. The hostel's cuisine was really clean and hygienic. It was easy to go to the hospital. Playing games and sports was strongly recommended.
Faculty: The quality of our rooms was among the top features that truly caught my attention. Excellent lecturers in our Physics and Chemistry labs provided clear explanations of everything. Everyone was extremely encouraging and helpful. Exams taken during the semester were mediocre. Consistent learning was a waste of time. The pass rate was 70%.

My days at Central University of Punjab.
Placements: Placements are something that is lacking in the CUP. There are only few departments that are offering placements and all others don't have any placements. Most of the private companies are associated with the placement cell of CUP and still it needs improvement. There are no placements for the department of Geology.
Infrastructure: Course is good and the facility is also good. The labs are well maintained and Wi-Fi is somehow very bad. Library is open till 2:00 AM, and has a lot of security throughout your way back to the hostel. Mess and canteen are good and food is also good. It has a medical center with an ambulance facility. There are snakes during the summer and its a treat.
Faculty: Exams are quite tough and have surprise tests for students so studying everyday is mandatory. Faculty members teach us well so half the problem is solved. Exams will happen on the unannounced date, and they will prepare us to be ready for other competitive exams as well.
Other: They support the research primarily. There are very good lab facilities. They often have good syllabus and scholarships are also provided. Student crowd is not that big and has a peaceful atmosphere.

I'm not that much satisfied with my university because the academics are quite good.
Placements: Very average on placement, the packages are offered around 20,000 - 40,000 INR. Mainly mines and quarries are recruiting. 60-70% of students are getting internships, and the syllabus is very good for the students who want to get a good job, you have to consider this.
Infrastructure: There is a very good facility in the hostel, especially the washrooms, which are very clean and well-maintained, so it’s not a problem for us. The reading room is there for us, and it’s very nice and quiet. The hostel has a very good environment for studying, and that will definitely help us.
Faculty: There are mainly 3 types of exams: 2 internal exams, 1 mid-sem test which is very crucial and important, and finally, end-semester exams. The curriculum is very relevant and industry-ready, and very good for students who are interested in various other competitive exams. Semester exams are not very difficult, easy to pass, but it’s very hard to get a good grade without proper preparation for exams, and the pass percentage is 90-100%.
Other: Because I completed B.Sc. Geology (Hons), I opted for this course. The course is not that much hard and relevant. Great events are arranged regarding the subject, and no other co-curricular activities are conducted.

There are many games and sports available, such as judo, wrestling, table tennis, chess, badminton, volleyball, basketball, soccer, cricket, kabaddi, cross country, and cycling.
Faculty: The teachers in our college are very knowledgeable, qualified, and helpful to every student. They helped students achieve so much in their lives.
