College life at Karunya University is the same for both boys and girls. You will have to follow the dress code, attendance, and morning prayers. 

When it comes to hostels, girls and boys have different rules. Overall rules for girls are more strict. Girls have curfews around 6-6:30. Boys can stay outside for longer. You will also be under CCTV surveillance on campus. 

Overall, if you choose your friends wisely, you can have a good time during your stay at the institute. 

If you are talking about service-based placement then, you will have good opportunities at Karunya. Many companies like Accenture, IBM, TechMahindra, Cognizant visit the campus placements. The average salary offered by service-based companies ranges from 2.7 LPA - 3.5 LPA. 

However, there are very few product-based companies visiting the campus placements. Some of the product-based companies that visit the campus placements are Nutanix, Netapp, etc. These companies also take a limited number of students, 1-5 at maximum. 

Also don’t expect reputed MNCs like Microsoft, Facebook, etc. 

Overall, Karunya offers decent placements. Around 80-85% of students get placed, every year. The highest CTC offered last year was 25 LPA.

There are no placements for food technology at Karunya University. I personally know a few alumni of the university who were offered to shift their branch from food technology to any other branch because there were only 14 of them in that batch.

If you are really interested in food technology then, I would suggest you make a plan for higher studies before taking admission in the food technology branch of Karunya University. Also, do not rely on the university for placements. They only focus on placements of IT, CSE students. Overall, the average CTC offered at the institute is 3-4 LPA.

Cybersecurity is a great discipline for a PG degree in Computer Science. It has huge scope in research and jobs in the industry.

However, Karunya University is deemed to be a university with minority status. It ranks lower than IITs, NITs, IIITs, Central Universities, State Universities, and reputed Govt. University colleges like UVCE Bangalore, CEG Chennai, etc. However, their MTech program has tie-ups with foreign universities. 

But don’t expect much from the University. I am saying this because my brother is an alumnus of the university.

The education quality of the University is poor. Only a few of the faculty members are academically qualified but, they are incapable of teaching. They lack the ability to provide real-time explanations for any problem. However, IAESTE is a way through which you can get exposure in your field of study. In fact, it is the only way through which you will get exposure in your field of study. 

To conclude, Karunya University is definitely not the first choice for an M.Tech in Cybersecurity but it is not a bad choice either.

There are many activities that you can do during the weekends at Karunya University. 

• You can go to Siruvani falls and spend some time there. Specialties about Siruvani Waterfalls are the sunset and the Shiva Lingam.
• You can make a group and go to Poondi and have a great trekking experience.
• If you want to study and learn things there is unlimited wifi on campus. There is also a library with a good collection of books in the institute. You can issue whichever book you need.
• There is a huge ground and a gym too if you are interested in sports or fitness. 

Other than that students usually complete their assignments, wash clothes, binge-watch favorite series, and spend time with their friends, during weekends. 

One of my friends studied at Karunya University. According to him, it is very reputed in the country. The campus environment is peaceful and comfortable.

• The infrastructure of its campus is very beautiful and various kinds of facilities are available for the students. 
• The laboratories available at this college are good and equipped with modern machinery. 
• There are hostels available for the students. All basic facilities such as laundry service are being provided to the students. 
• These facilities are a big relief to those students who don't have enough free time to wash their clothes. 
• The rules and regulations of this institution are very strict, especially for girls. 
• The campus is far away from the main city of Coimbatore, sometimes it becomes difficult to travel from the city to campus. 
• You will have to take permission from the administration for almost everything by writing them a letter or an application.

Hence, the rules and regulations of this university are very strict and you will have to abide by all the rules if you wish to study at this university.
