Honest talk about Chandigarh University.

Infrastructure: Chandigarh University is known for its world-class facilities, you name it and we have it. Each lab, library, and class is installed with AC, projector, computers, and Wi-Fi. I didn’t stay in the hostel in my college life, but as far as I heard from my friend, it’s good. You get good facilities there like good Wi-Fi, coolers, gym, etc.

Some things are good here, it depends on what things you are comfortable with.

Infrastructure: Talking about the facilities and infrastructure in some buildings or blocks, it's very good. But talking personally about my block, it's not so well built. They do have AC, but they are always leaking. Wi-Fi don't work on several floors. The quality of food is like 3/10, it feels like we are eating something, but we don't know what.

University is good, needs some improvement in schedule and little bit in faculty, tests are good.

Infrastructure: The main campus is very well made and the infrastructure is unbeatable, but I have given 3 stars because the classes for BCA are held in another campus, which is not that good, small, and is 5km away from the main campus. The facilities provided are good, and the Wi-Fi has a very high speed.

Best infrastructure, but average hostel mess.

Infrastructure: Infrastructure is excellent with modern labs, smart classrooms, 24/7 Wi-Fi, and a digital library. Hostels are clean and secure with good facilities. Medical and sports amenities are good. The only drawback is the hostel mess food, which is hygienic but average in taste and variety.

Just an overview everyone should know before coming.

Infrastructure: Facilities and infrastructure available are quite good, like reading rooms, a salon, and a stationery shop. There could be AC in the rooms as per my suggestion. The medical staff are not very cooperative, so this thing should be kept in mind as well.

Really good infrastructure and faculty members.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure of the university is really good. Not only does it look good only from the outside, but also inwards, as there are many tools and instruments for the practical lessons. The only thing that needs improvement is the washrooms. There are also no jet sprays. Other than that, it's all good.

The college life is okay.

Infrastructure: There are three types of hostel rooms, a four-seater non-AC, a five-seater AC, and a five-seater non-AC. The basic price difference between all hostels is Rs. 10,000, starting with Rs 100,000, then Rs. 120,000, and then Rs. 136,000. Faculty members do not check your room regularly, but if they find an open kettle, there is a chance they may take it and not return it. This did not happen to me as my warden is very friendly.

My college review for CU CSE.

Infrastructure: The rooms have AC, fan, tube-light, and table. B. Ed students have a balcony for clothes and view. Hostel meals are a very poor experience for me. The food is safe and will not affect your health, but the taste is inconsistent. Sometimes the meals are great, and other times not. Every two days a week, non-veg is served. Students are advised to maintain contact and communication within the campus.

Infrastructure: There were two types of libraries: a digital library and a normal library. You will find everything in the library, like books, newspapers, journals, etc. All classrooms had fans, whiteboards, and projectors. Clubs were also available. Anyone could join any club and had to perform various tasks in various groups. For sports lovers, there was a sports complex where you could find everything, like a badminton court, football and cricket grounds, a basketball court, etc.
