Punjab University Chandigarh M.Sc. review.
Placements: There are very few placement opportunities for M.Sc. students. We have to look for jobs on our own. A few companies allow us to sit for the placements but they prefer students from b-teach and m-teach. The internship opportunities are also very limited. Only about 5% of students get placement.
Infrastructure: Infrastructure is good. We have high-speed Wi-Fi. The classrooms are also well lit, and the hostel is good. The students are nice and friendly. The food is also good and tasty. The sports field is very big. The library is nice and big. It has many books related to our course.
Faculty: The teachers are good. They try to help us whenever we need them. They also guide us regarding our future. They tell us how to approach firms for placement opportunities. The semester exams are easy. You just need to listen to the teachers in the classroom.

The teaching is excellent here, and campus life is amazing.
Placements: Only 1 student out of 50 students got placed in Aakash Institute from our college. Remaining students were not provided with any internship or placement or any job. They should find placements on their own. Teachers here just do their job of teaching and provide notes but not concerned about any other thing.
Infrastructure: Free Wi-Fi service is available for all students of the university. Labs are above average, and there is a huge library. The food provided in the hostel is not very good but average. Medical facilities are good and available for free of cost for university students. There is a huge ground for sports, and inter-hostel and inter-departmental games are conducted.
Faculty: The teaching quality is very good here as 1 subject is taught by 4 teachers. A particular topic is taught by only those teachers who are masters in that. The course curriculum is relevant and is in accordance with the higher education entrance exam syllabus. The course curriculum does not make students industry-ready at all.
Other: I want to become an assistant professor, so I chose this course. Many fests are organised in our university, and campus life is amazing here. This place is very beautiful.

Nice campus for a nice career.
Placements: It is one of the best campuses in India. Though you will not get placements in companies, after passing from here, you can do something good in your life. You can get also get a job in institutes, colleges and can easily qualify the competitive exams. All the best! you will enjoy reading here.
Infrastructure: The college has a good infrastructure. Also, the library is open for 24 hrs, and you will get a Wi-Fi everywhere on the campus. Many options for food are also available, and the mess food is good in the girl's hostels as compared to the boys. Hostels are also nice here. It is a beautiful green campus. The best part I liked here is its library.
Faculty: Teachers are well qualified, except a few. They are also helpful. You will also get lots of exposure during your course, and the faculty is always available for your problems. The students are also helpful. You will not feel like a fish out of water here, even being the first time at the hostel. It is a very nice campus, and scholarships for the needy are available.
