Chandigarh University is the best for MBA, among these. it is well-recognized in the industry. Many reputed companies collaborated with the university to offer industry-sponsored courses and lab facilities.
The flexible curriculum, brilliant faculty, and intense industry interface make CU rank ahead of other B-Schools in the region.
Chitkara University popularly known as CU can be reviewed on a set of parameters. The parameters range from academics to infrastructure and focus most importantly on placements provided in the last educational year.
The university stands at a desirable position when it comes to academics. It caters to 13000 students. The student-faculty ratio is 1:6. Engineering is the best option as students not having an above-average JEE score can also land up at a good stream in the university. The university has reputed international collaborations with leading institutes across the globe. Some institutes are University Of Florida, U.S.A, Deakin University, Australia, etc.
Placements have been quite good in recent year in all the domains of the university, but engineering has been the major attractive domain. The percentage-wise division of placements is mentioned below:

There is no such scholarship provided by the university, but it offers scholarships to achievers that scored good positions in JEE mains. Campus life is great offering good opportunities to explore the state and its culture.
The Chitkara University in a nutshell is a good option provided the individual is satisfied with the details.
Both Chitkara and CGC Landran are at the same level. As far as placements are concerned, both of them offer excellent placements with well-developed placement cells.
UPES is definitely more concentrated on petroleum and chemical engineering. It also has some unique courses and a really good reputation and you will get to learn a lot. Fees might be a little expensive though.
My advice to you would be to not choose electronics and communication engineering at either of them because placements are not that great and you don’t want to end up with CSE students and learn coding in the last few months of your college.
The table below should help you out with placement statistics and fees regarding the same:
College |
Fees |
Hiring Companies |
Average package |
CGC Landran (B. Tech) |
INR 92,000 (first year fees) |
Wipro, Google, Infosys, Deloitte |
INR 3 to 4 LPA |
Chitkara University (B.E) |
INR 1.74 lakhs (first year fees) |
JCB India, L&T, Yamaha, DLF |
INR 4.5 LPA |
UPES (B. Tech) |
INR 13.83 lakhs (total fees) |
L&T, Wipro, Accenture, GEP Worldwide |
NR 5-6 LPA |
While the fees for UPES are quite high, you can expect to get a similar return on your investment. At the same time, you will not be pestered for admissions like in my brother’s case with regards to CGC Landran and CU. The faculty at UPES is very good too.
