Great infrastructure, neat and clean campus, good placements.

Placements: Top recruiting companies are Motorq, Google, Amazon, PayPal, and other companies. Roles offered are web developer, SDE, and data scientist. The highest package is upto 1 crore per annum which depends on the skills and projects done by the student. Seniors from my university got internships at Google and PayPal.

Infrastructure: Air-conditioned classrooms, library, and labs are available. We have neat and Wi-Fi-enabled campus. The quality of food is decent in the hostel. They provide facilities to cook, iron clothes, common room for reading, etc. There is a women's fitness gym for free in the hostel. Also, we have badminton court, etc.

Faculty: Teaching quality is great. It makes the students industry-ready, but also students have to an enthusiastic and should work hard and run with others. Semester exams are not very hard, but depend on the subject and course. The course is relevant but still you have to do environment science for one semester.

A authenticate review of Shiv Nadar University Chennai.

Placements: Around 60 to 70% of students were placed in Shiv Nadar University Chennai. In the aid branch, most of the students got placed with the highest package last year by Paypal of 1.2 crores. The highest package as of now is 1.2 CPA. The average is 7.5 LPA. The lowest as of now is 6.2 LPA. Top recruiting companies in our course are Wipro, Paypal, and Mahindra. Top roles offered are security architect, etc. Around 70% of students got internships from our course.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure is good. There are 3 academic blocks for the courses in our college with AC-equipped classrooms for each department and Wi-Fi connection is very fast and secured. There is also a library in our college with around 600+ books available. The quality of the hostel is quite average but the buildings are amazing. The quality of food available in the mess is not up to the mark. There are 2 types of messes in our college, premium and undergraduate messes. Also, there is 1 main canteen and 1 clinic in our college.

Faculty: Teachers teaching here are almost all graduated from top prolific institutions like IITs, NITs, and all. They are knowledgeable as they share their vast variety of teaching with us and yes they do reach out to us when we doubt any course. The course curriculum which they are teaching is relevant and it is helpful for us in future. Students can get ready for industry with this type of course curriculum and what is being taught to them. Semester exams vary in terms of difficulty based on the exam. The pass percentage is around 95% in our college.

Other: I chose this course because in the future, it's quite useful for us and many students are saying the aid branch is useful as it is far better than cyber security. It has a good future so I wanted to try something new, so I chose cyber security as my group. If there are more workshops about this course it would be better because it would create awareness to the upcoming students about this course. There are many events like Instincts, Mela, Invente fests, and events in our college. Scholarships are provided to students based on entrance exams.

SNUC - A first year's Review.

Placements: You can't really say too much about the placements at SNUC because no one's actually been placed yet. However, if it's anything like SSN's placements ( which is what they've promised ) then it would definitely have to be considered one of the better universities in Tamil Nadu.

Infrastructure: There's no doubt that the infrastructure is first class. You get good Wi-Fi in most places the labs are well-equipped, so are the classes. The academics blocks are neat and it shouldn't go unnoticed that restrooms (in AB 1 are super clean ). The sports facilities are more than adequate and even if you're a day scholar you still get the chance to use them. However, the canteen isn't the most hygienic you'll SEE.

Faculty: Considering the fact that I'm still in my first year, I can't say too much about the exams. So far, they've been challenging and there's quite a few questions that are indirect and involve conceptual knowledge. The courses are definitely relevant and will continue to be so for the coming years.

Other: The main reason why I chose SNUC was because of the fact there isn't much of a crowd which meant that there would be ample opportunities that I could take advantage of. The campus in itself is really green and overall just a really nice place to be in. It isn't one of those strict colleges so you do get a lot of freedom. Also, it's run by a trust namely, the Shiv Nadar Foundation and they definitely don't consider this a business and they truly do try their best to reduce the expenses for students. Of course the real major drawback is that it is still a relatively new University. Apart from this, there isn't much to complain about.

I am satisfied because of the good faculty members, infrastructure and facilities.

Placements: As it is a new campus, official placements are not yet started. Compared to SSN College Chennai, placements are very good. Many top companies like Amazon, Facebook, Google, Microsoft, etc., are coming to the SSN campus, and the same recruiting companies come to SNU Chennai too.

Infrastructure: Facilities like Wi-Fi, labs, classrooms and a library are very good. Hostel rooms are very good, but the quality of the food available in the mess and canteen is average. Still, remaining all facilities like medical facilities, sports and games are very good.

Faculty: Teachers are great in SNU Chennai, and they are very experienced, helpful, qualified and knowledgeable. The curriculum is very relevant, and it is somewhat different compared to other colleges. The difficulty level in semester exams is moderate, and the pass percentage is the same as other colleges.

Other: Extracurricular activities are very good in this college, and many events are conducted in this college. The campus is lush green, and the fresh air from the trees is cool.

For now, SNUC is a subset of SSN. The campus is expanding. Available courses are invaluable.

Placements: We are technically the first batch (2025 batch), so we can not predict placements. I rate placements with 4 stars. But the placement team of SNUC would be the same team which handles the SSN, so whatever companies visit SSN would visit SNU. Apart from that, some more companies would visit SNU. It is atleast what the university claims.

Infrastructure: Wi-Fi is good but restricted for social media except for WhatsApp. It is restricted for using games, video streaming apps, etc. Web browsing will work, and sites which seem productive will work. The food served is average and eatable. They serve 2 eggs a week apart from the available canteen. Sweet is served in place of egg if vegetarian is preferred. Chicken is served 3 times a week in low quantity. Some vegetarian variety dishes are replaced with vegetarian dishes. The food is not much good, but the hostel rooms are really awesome.

Faculty: Teachers here are highly knowledgeable as the university knows how they recruit. I have seen the syllabus of the course, so I guess it is really relevant. The pass percentage can't be decided yet, and semester 1 exams are postponed. However, the syllabus is good. Some subjects are easy, while some are lengthy like BEEE, etc.

Other: I am more of an introvert, so I don't generally hang out much, but based on my friends, events, fests and this kind of things are good enough like any other university. There is really much to improve in this course. It is fine now.

I recommend everyone to join in this college.

Placements: Almost 100% of the students get placed. The highest salary package offered is 1.5 crores, and the lowest salary package offered is 2 LPA. The average salary package offered is 12 LPA. Amazon and Google are the top recruiting companies of our college. Internships depend on the students batch. Mostly 50% of the batch can get the best internships from top companies. In our college, there are 4 courses offered. They are CSE in IoT and CSE in Al in engineering and in commerce, we have B.Com general and B.Com PA.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure of the college is good. When it comes to sports, we have maximum every kind of ground, indoor or outdoor. Everything on the campus is good.

Faculty: Faculty members of this particular campus are great. They are very experienced and they teach in a manner that every single student understands the thing they are teaching. As it is deemed university you don't have pressure about the semester exams.
