Lucky to be here, good placement, excellent fests, and top-notch hostel security.

Placements: Around 50% of my classmates got placed and many of them got packages around 6 LPA. Almost 60% to 70% of my classmates got an internship from the course that I did. The top roles offered are data analyst and researcher. Top recruiters are PWC and Deloitte.

Infrastructure: The infrastrucrure facilities like Wi-Fi in libraries and classrooms and AC rooms are available. Rooms are fully ventilated. The food that is also available in the mess is high-quality and there is no to minimal garbage seen on the corridors or the college premises. The greenery around the campus is something that we love on a breezy day. There are a lot of benches around the green area so that people can enjoy sitting there in good weather.

Faculty: Teachers are highly qualified. Most of them have done their Ph.D. S. The teaching quality is great accumulating of different activities and not just confined to the textbooks. Revision tests are revision activities are often practice from time to time so that it is easier in the exam season for the students to crack it. Almost 95% of my class that pass with score of 70% or higher.

Other: I chose the course because of the best curriculum that they offer. The curriculum was way more diverse than other universities and the student helpline is that the college provides either it be exam stress, financial help needed, counselors, and therapy sessions are provided within the campus. A lot of fests go on including the fresher's party with the annual fests with a lot of programs around more than 100 programs and stalls around the campus with massive DJs and celebrities like Akshay Kumar, and Honey Singh perform.

Placement is very less as compared to other departments.

Placements: For psychologist students, it's very hard to find the placement; you have to find yourself. But the faculties are very cooperative and, by nature, very friendly. Activities done by the department are very few, but from this year on, that's going well for the students.

Infrastructure: Classrooms do not contain AC it's very hot because of the climate. The library, where most of the books that are required for the department are, is situated at A3. Wi-Fi facilities are not there. No games are conducted as for the department. There is a sports meet.

Faculty: Faculties and HOD are very cooperative. The exams are considered every month, like mst1, mst2 and end-of-semester exams, which I find are difficult for the student to study; they need some time to get refreshed after every exam. And 75% attendance is mandatory.

Other: In the department of psychology, there are very few extracurricular activities.

Satisfied with the quality of education.

Placements: 80% of students were placed from my batch. The highest package was 5 LPA. Many companies were there, including Airtel and many more. The internship rate was 90%, to be exact. I myself got to learn so many things. Journalism, mass communication, and teaching were the top roles offered in our course.

Infrastructure: The hostel facilities were amazing, and every amenity was available. Wi-Fi facility was provided, and there were study rooms in hostels, with a general store that had all the essential items from food to makeup and stationery. The quality of food in the hostel was far better than other universities.

Faculty: Faculty members were the best in our university. All teachers were really humble, to be honest. It was an interest-based course. I did it in literature so it was my area of interest, which is why I chose it. The pass percentage was 90%. The difficulty level was low compared to other courses.

Other: Overall, it was a valuable experience.

A decent place to be. Good for bachelor's and not for master's degree.

Placements: There are no such placement offers for psychology graduates. Some might find job opportunities in general fields such as content writing, desk jobs, or secretary jobs. There are 2-3 students from my batch who cashed on some of these opportunities. University is quite helpful in the process.

Infrastructure: University has a good to decent level of infrastructure. Classrooms are okay. Hostel range across different categories, it depends on which one you choose. But overall, one would find it decent to good. Mess food could be terrible for students experiencing it for the first time.

Faculty: Faculty members are below average, they just get the job done. Some teachers are on a good level but the rest of the department consists of newcomers and young ones to teach. Exams consists of a decent level of difficulty which check your intellect well.

Other: One thing about CU is that there's always something happening on campus. It's either an event or some competition, there's always something going on. The crowd could be selectively nice and it's got a nice environment and infrastructure on top of that.

There are mixed results of Chandigarh University (CU).

Placements: Most students opt to pursue higher education and the first reason they take up the course is to prepare for competitive exams. The campus also provides coaching for the same. Only 2% of students went for jobs. The highest package is 2 LPA. HR and consultancy firms visit the college to hire students. 100% of students get internships. Roles like HR and consultancy are offered.

Infrastructure: Wi-Fi is available in the hostel. Labs are available. Classrooms are comfortable and have adequate lighting. The mess menu is diverse and the food is delicious, although sometimes we are fed up. Usually, when we eat food in the same place for too long it starts tasting the same all the time.

Faculty: Teachers are excellent. The course curriculum is relevant. Semester exams are adequate for industry levels and there is no need for cramming. The pass percentage is around 95% but exams are not as difficult if we follow the given syllabus and what the professors teach us. Professors are as helpful as they can be.
