Forensic Science course outlook in Chandigarh University.

Placements: There are a total of 54 students. The highest package offered in our course is 6 LPA and the lowest is 4 LPA. Many private forensic Science labs recruit students, but there are still fewer private opportunities. The internship is done by the students themselves NIT is provided by the university. After doing M.Sc. in forensic science, we can become an assistant scientific officer in the labs.

Infrastructure: The classrooms have a good Wi-Fi facility, there are 4 AC vents in the class, and projectors are present. The library is present on the 6 th floor of the department where one can go and study properly. There is a dispensary on the campus where medical facilities are provided. As I'm a day scholar, I don't know much about hostel facilities.

Faculty: Teachers are PhD holders with 8 to 10 years of experience and they are intellectual and supportive. The semester exams are good if you study well, you will excel in the exams as well. There are 4 semesters in this course, and at the end of the 4th semester, we have to submit a thesis as well.

Other: This course provides you with an insightful experience related to crime and how we can help the court to assist in providing justice. The fee for the course in CU is Rs. 80,000, but if you have marks greater than 7.5 with 75 percent attendance, then you will also get scholarships.

Campus life is great.

Placements: The college provides very decent placements. Students here are placed in some good companies. They also have a program known as TPP (Training and Placement Programme), which helps students during placements. Overall, they are supportive.

Infrastructure: The hostel infrastructure is decent, but the mess food quality is not that good. Labs and classrooms also lack proper infrastructure. The canteen is good. There is a food court with franchises like Chai Sutta Bar, Domino’s, and Burger Singh. A personal suggestion is Jugri Chain.

Faculty: The curriculum is designed well, but the college lacks in faculty quality. Exams are designed in an outdated manner. Faculty members are often rude and not very skilled. They do not give good internal marks, which affects CGPA.

Other: The crowd is from a tier 3 background.

The campus provides good placements to students with a good score and real talent.

Placements: Mostly the cream students with a good score are placed here in CU although various companies are offering vacancies here, like Infosys, etc. You must have a good CGPA and have a specific certification to sit in the placements and secure a valuable job but the university doesn't guarantee placements.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure is very nice although some classes need maintenance. Hostels are cleaned and well-maintained. Hostel food is also good not very good but very much better than that at other colleges. Washrooms are clean and hostels are air-conditioned with various seating options.

Faculty: Minor improvements can be done here but all the staff are well educated and have doctoral-level education experiences. Exams are conducted by the university itself in the form of MSTs, tests, and practicals. Exams are not that difficult in the first year but the level of exams increases as the semester progresses.

Other: CU is full of events. Another day there is an event in the university. CUET exam is there to avail scholarships up to 100 percent.

Really good infrastructure, good teachers, and top placements at Chandigarh University.

Placements: Students get placed through CU. The highest package is around 1.5 crore, which is offered through an off-campus placement. Many companies visit the college for recruitment. The average package is around 6–7 LPA. According to the state standards, the college's overall placement record is very good.

Infrastructure: Hostels at CU are top-notch. They provide both AC and non-AC rooms. Water and electricity are available 24/7 without any disturbance. The mess food is also very good. Meals are served according to the timetable, and the food tastes good as well.

Faculty: Teachers at Chandigarh University are highly educated and teach very well. Students can interact freely with faculty. Teachers are always willing to help. The best thing is that they give equal importance to every student.

Other: I chose this course because I find that this university offers some of the best placement opportunities. My course is also one of the best courses offered by the university. The strong placement record is the main reason I chose this university.
