A true review of Punjab University.

Placements: Punjab University is one of the best universities in the north in terms of placements. Top companies like Wipro, Infosys, HP, etc., visit the university every year to recruit students. The university also offers internships to students interested in them. The highest package is 30 Lacs per annum.

Infrastructure: The campus of Punjab University is very large. There are different departments for each discipline. There are multiple sports grounds and a green park for students. Medical facilities are also available. Hostel rooms are well-furnished.

Faculty: All the teachers in my department are kind and sweet. They are well-educated and qualified in their subjects. They always share their life lessons. The course curriculum is very helpful for placements. Semester exams are mostly easy, and almost everyone passes them easily.

Students get very good college life in Chandigarh.

Placements: There are no placements for our course as our course is Masters in political science. Our course is good and enables you to become a teacher at any college or school. Moreover, after this course, you can give the UGC NET exam. After clearing the exam, you can pursue PhD in that subject.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure of our college was good but not up to the mark. Our college provides unlimited high-speed Wi-Fi for students. Every department has its library and a common library, and they are fully air-conditioned. Our college has a hub of canteens at student point. Our college has a number of auditoria and huge playgrounds.

Faculty: The course curriculum was good as it provides a vast knowledge of political science including public administration and international affairs. Faculty members in this department are highly educated and well-knowledgeable in their subject. Mr Ronki Ram is a well-known professor for teaching the political science subject.

I am satisfied with the faculty and facilities provided by the college.

Placements: Placements are nil as compared to other departments like MBA and engineering. There are no direct placements after course and students have to prepare for extra government exams. But the skills are built to handle the administration of the police department.

Infrastructure: Wi-Fi facility is always available on the campus, and classrooms are well built, and the ambience of the place is good. There are many canteens which offer economical quality food. I like the canteen very much that I often eat there. There is a separate department of sports and university offers all sports equipment for games like volleyball and hockey sticks, etc. They also provide tennis grounds and basketball courts, where intercollege matches are conducted.

Faculty: Faculty members are well trained as well as educated, and they have experience of around 10-15 years in their respective fields. As it could be very difficult for the police administration department to handle so many students at a time, so industrial visits are less, but the faculty member sometimes arranges visits to nearby departments. The course curriculum is very useful, and it clear all the basic concepts.
