See, we all have our own reasons for choosing a university, and honestly, it depends on what you're looking for. Since many of us-friends, cousins, siblings, - have studies at Chandigarh University (CU), let me share why it stands out for Aerospace Engineering, especially when compared to other like Manipal.First off, CU's lab infrastructure is seriously impressive. You get hands on training on exclusive setups like Kalpana Chawla centre for Space Science and Research, Flight simulator lab, Aerodynamics lab, Propulsion lab, Aircraft systems, and Instrumentation lab, and even a Stargazing observatory. You won't just be reading theories-you'll be living them through living projects and simulation based learning including ANSYS based advsnced simulation training. CU also claims a 100% placement rate in aerospace, covering both defence and private sectors, and backs it up with strong industry collaborations. Add to that international exposure, through semester exchange programs and internships abroad, and you're lookung at a university that's very focused on global readiness.
