Very much satisfied because of the environment and affordable fees.
Placements: There are no direct placements in the department of geology, but you can go for placements to various companies in oil and gas exploration sector. Practically, a Bachelor's degree is not getting you any job. You are only eligible to get a job if you have field knowledge and internship experience along with a master's degree.
Infrastructure: The library is very good, and it has all kinds of books that we might need during our course. It is open 24*7. High-speed Wi-Fi is available for every student. Geology canteen is one of the best canteens in the university. The hostel is affordable, 6,000 per semester. Mess food is consumable only (not so good) but affordable (Rs. 45 per diet). The hostel has a TV room, table tennis room, carrom, chess, etc., facilities. The hostel is open 24*7.
Faculty: The teachers are really good in their subjects. Field work and skill enhancement courses are included in the curriculum. Semester examinations are of moderate level, and you can pass easily even if you do not study for exams. You just have to attend all the lectures and gain knowledge.
Other: Panjab University is the centre of attraction in Chandigarh. The student center is very famous, and various movies have been shot here. The crowd is educated and well-behaved. Women are safe here in the university. The hostel is open 24*7.

To jot down there is fun and career elements in panjab University.
Placements: They show 60% placements through avsar program and also enroll Ph.D. scholar on a stipend basis for toppers. There can be placements in the arts section which is high in value. They have collaboration with a high range of companies like IBM and Infosys. There are placements in journalism and in radio section and are placed directly in the channel.
Infrastructure: Very good and stupendous atmosphere all around. Everything is available in the campus Reasonable price for basic daily need items. No security issues. Very cool people with no violence. There are nice hostels and library. Students to study for fun and activity. We have a student center where flash mobs conducted where we get together. Food is also available.
Faculty: Faculty and students have to go hand in hand because if one lacks full semester get wasted in all 70% of teachers are very good and cbcs curriculum guided by UGC has been followed throughout. The curriculum has been revised by PU after every 5 years in some departments. The sources for books are easily available and accessible too. Teachers cabin and teachers are highly profiled sophisticated professional.
Other: Every year 2 fest held one in the south campus by uoet and one in north campus in pu itself at affordable rates by our student council. Student council has been elected by students by enjoying a great festival after independence to the first week of September.
