PU Campus - My college my pride, I am giving this title as it gives me pleasure to say this thing.
Placements: So, I have just started my journey of pursuing my masters and I am glad that I have been pursuing it from Panjab University (main campus). Talking about the placement opportunities, there are great placement opportunities being offered to the students. Nearly 50% of students get placed every year with a good package and at very reputed companies. The average package of a student here is around 4.5 LPA. The roles that are being offered here are associate software engineer, system engineer, full-stack web developer, etc.
Infrastructure: At Panjab University (main campus), the infrastructure is totally fabulous. There are different departments for different courses. All the departments are well-maintained, making students feel comfortable and homely. There are even separate libraries in each department. As well as common library named A. C. Joshi where students can sit as much long as they want. Labs are properly functioning, making students to carry out their activities or tasks smoothly.
Faculty: Faculty or non-technical or clerical staff in the university are very highly educated. Teachers are very knowledgeable and always try to teach something new to the students that they may remember it throughout their life. The course curriculum being set is very relevant having the capacity to meet today's technological requirements. The semester exams in college take place every 6 months. It is not very difficult to pass the exams as they are relevant to what has been taught in the class.
Other: The crowd here is of diverse cultures. Students come from different states or cities to pursue degrees from PU. I have chosen this course as I want to pursue a good career in the field of IT. There are many events that may take place every month in order to develop connectivity, leadership, management, etc., within students so that they can get real-world exposure too.

Absolutely satisfied because of good placements and faculty.
Placements: The placement process for MCA is really good at Panjab University, Chandigarh. 50% of the of the students got placed till now. Top recruiters are MediaTek, Alert, Edifecs and many more.
Infrastructure: Our department provides really good infrastructure for students. We got our separate WiFi logins, which work all over the campus. We got good classrooms with ACs and projectors. We also got one library in our department where we can easily issue the books.
Faculty: The teachers got very good experience in teaching and they all are highly educated Ph.D. teachers. All the teachers use PPTs for making the study more efficient. The subject that we study in our course is very relevant to students. It gives students the real meaning of industry work.
Other: Study is first priority to our university but they also take care of students entertainment. We get to see many events for students, which are very enjoyable.

Review of Panjab University.
Placements: Placements in our college are quite good. Indus Valley offered the highest salary package of 7.5 LPA in the previous year. In the previous year, around 40 companies visited our campus for placements, and around 90% of the students got placed. Students get placed in companies which have a good reputation in the world.
Infrastructure: The hostel has a good infrastructure, but most of the things in it are old. In PU, hostels are like a home to students. You get a free high-speed Wi-Fi facility and good food in the mess and canteen. There are 24 hours of unrestricted entry to the hostel, and there is no attendance issue and entry timings. Washrooms are cleaned day by day.
Faculty: Our university has a good alumni network, and seniors are very helpful to juniors from the first day of joining the university. Seniors help in every possible way as most of the students take time to adjust in new cities and environment. Relationship between seniors and juniors is very good.
Other: Faculty members here are highly qualified, and most of them are PhD holders and researchers. Professors are well educated and highly experienced, and they know how to make students understand. We have teachers who published their research papers all over the world. Our mathematics teachers are post-doctorates from Germany. All faculty members here are always available to help students.

It is a great place to be in.Environment is good along with faculty.U just need to knw how to adjust
Placements: Placements are fine. You get your placement at the starting of third year and went on training. For our super seniors the highest package was 8.5 Lacs as he had some live projects going on. Second the highest was 6.5 Lacs. However a lot of companies come for placements.
Infrastructure: Infrastructure is nice. Well-equipped labs are there. Nearly 3-4 labs are there. Rooms are quite book to accommodate 50+ students at once. There is no personal auditorium of Department of Computer Science and applications. But ya we can book law audit and maths audit easily. Also Student Center is very close to the department. There are separate rooms for research scholars too. Labs are quipped with ACs.
Faculty: Faculty is well qualified. There are PhDs and associate professors. Chairman sir is a Ph.D. and very much skilled. He also take lectures. Faculty is nice and friendly and always try to motivate and help us in best possible way. Course curriculum is fine but I think it needs to be a bit more advanced. But this is what the problem is all over India. But yes, being a professional course, we do have lab lectures too which are sufficient enough.
Other: Campus is good. Panjab University is full of crowd. There is a fest of DCSA I. e. Epsilon. Other than that farewellscand freshers are conducted. Festivals are celebrated with great joy. Scholarships are provided for the needy. There is also a hostel facility. Students keep on taking part in different fests organized not just by PU but also by other colleges too.

Normalized with the placement, infrastructure and faculty at DCSA.
Placements: The DCSA placements in the college are just above average. The companies that come to recruitment need coding skills, and if someone doesn't have that much good coding skills, then he/she doesn't get placed. Even the package offered was max up to 3 LPA. The main issue is with the bond, as a fresher no one is interested in signing the bond.
Infrastructure: The classrooms are the small rooms for the class of 50 students. For sitting, there were only chairs, and that too is not comfortable for sitting. Now come to the labs there was no proper installation of software on PC. In the department, there are no proper washrooms. Most of the time girls student have to go to other departments for using the washroom.
Faculty: The DCSA faculty are good. They have the proper subject knowledge, but that limits to the theoretical part. Few of the teachers are overqualified for teaching the masters student as they share the high-level knowledge. That doesn't make any sense to students, and they feel like bored in that particular lectures.
Other: The DCSA organizes some fest time to time for the entertainment purpose, and they are good for enjoying.

The good events happen every year.
Placements: Almost 85% of our batch got placed. Only a few companies visited. Infosys, NET solutions, Redlizard and Sufi, were the companies that visited including a few others. The average salary offered was not good enough. It ranges from 3-4.5 LPA. Roles offered were only system engineer. There was a placement cell who co-ordinated with a group of three from our department and gave notice about the companies visiting. Placement ratio was less compared to the engineering students on the same campus.
Infrastructure: Wi-Fi is available with high-speed. Labs were good enough. There are no issues faced regarding mess or hostel rooms, and there are indoor sports room and gym room in every hostel. The common indoor room in the student centre is there for all. Since the hostel buildings are old enough, they can become a massive risk in future. These should get reconstructed.
Faculty: Faculty was good. Teachers were highly educated. Lectures delivered were usually less in number. Though teachers were highly qualified and the knowledge imparted if you convince them for that. Everything was available, and you had to get yourselves involved completely to enjoy the benefits.
Other: There are fests like Scitron are organized every year. Rose fest is there every year, and you get exposure to many sports activities.

From my point of view, LPU is great choice because it gives you a lot of exposure under one roof. Personally, I feel the campus infrastructure, variety of courses, and opportunities like internships, projects, events, and placements are strong if you're willing to use them.

Yes, the PU LLB Entrance Exam is mandatory for admission to 3-Year LLB and 5-Year Integrated BA LLB and BCom LLB programs at Panjab University. It is the selection which is based heavily on these entrance scores and academic merit.
