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 Exams are designed in an outdated manner.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.

The infrastructure is good. The food courts are also good.

Placements: 60 percent of students get placed. The lowest package offered is 4 LPA. The highest package offered is 50 LPA. Companies like Tech Mahindra, Google, Amazon, Tata, and local companies come to hire students. The package offered ranges from 4-6 LPA. Top roles like problem-solving, etc., are offered here.

Infrastructure: Our college has Wi-Fi, labs, and free internet. The mess food is not that good, but the eating rooms are good. Facilities in the hostel are good. In college, there are also parks, gardens, a playing area, and some other enjoyment areas. It has a sports complex for playing games, which is good.

Faculty: Faculty members are average. Some teachers are good, but some are not that good. They are actually not giving internal marks and do not behave well with students. Sometimes, teachers mark students absent by mistake, and they don't apologize for their mistake. They blame students for being marked absent.

A really good university. Perfect for exposure and college life.

Placements: Our college provides placements in the private sector, like Hawk Eye Forensics. There is a lot of exposure. For each semester, there are at least 5 new internship opportunities, and business summits are held every single year. It also has facilities so you can go abroad and do a semester there because CU is affiliated with a lot of foreign universities.

Infrastructure: The hostels have Wi-Fi and laundry services of their own. The hygiene is well maintained, and the food is good. They also have a south indian mess as well. The department and the university itself are very beautiful and have a lot of labs for practical sessions.

Faculty: The curriculum is good. It matches the NFSU level, if not even better. The faculty teaches really well, and PDFs and study material are provided so that we can refer to them during exam time. They also provide opportunities to write reviews and research papers with them.

Other: A lot of fests happen here. At least 10 times or more per semester.

Best for college life and placements undoubtedly. I would recommend joining.

Placements: Very good percentage of students are placed. The highest package is around 40–50 LPA, and the average is around 6 LPA. Microsoft, IBM, and Google are the top companies. I do not know much about internships, but if you have a good scholarship, you can definitely get opportunities. However, you need to survive by maintaining a 7.5 CGPA every semester.

Infrastructure: The college has the best infrastructure, but the hostel is average. Staying in a flat with friends outside the college is better and cheaper. The food is also not great. Sometimes it is good and sometimes worse. Taking a flat is cheaper. There are many flats outside CU, which you can easily get.

Faculty: Teachers are helpful and good with students. Semester exams are easier, but due to relative grading, you cannot easily score a high CGPA. So you need to focus on internals. A 7.5 CGPA is mandatory for keeping your scholarship active.

Other: We have one of the best fests in any university. CU is best for cultural activities.
