Questions Asked On UIET Chandigarh, Chandigarh

I know a few people from UIET Chandigarh. Here are some of the things that they find bothersome. 

• Practicals and experiments in labs are limited to the course syllabus and even in some cases the methods and equipment to perform the given set of instructions to get the desired result are outdated as compared to the latest technology.
• Lack of proficient faculty/teachers, who can make the particular subjects more exciting. Existing teachers can not even be enabled to build one’s interest in an already interesting subject like Artificial intelligence. 
• There is a lack of proper conversations and interaction among the students to coordinate and help each other in study and in other tasks as well. 

In all above negative points, there is something positive which came forward is that you get a lot of free time to prepare for any competitive exams there as students of this college require only 75% of total attendance and if you are having less than it, the party people and students union compel authorities to make you sit for the exams.

University Institute Of Engineering and Technology (UIET), Chandigarh is known for being a part of Panjab University which is among the top-ranked universities in India.

Below are some facts about UIET:

• The ECE branch of UIET is particularly good. As its scope is increasing in a few years, this will provide a reliable future.
• The faculty members are highly experienced especially for the ECE branch.
• The seniors are cooperative.
• The infrastructure is quite good.
• Student elections also take place.

The table shows a brief overview of the institution:

Aside from academics, there are a lot of things in UIET which make life amazing like the Annual cultural fest GOONJ which is the most eagerly awaited event at UIET. Overall the student will enjoy being a part of UIET.

According to my friend studying B.Tech (IT) at UIET, this university follows the syllabus and modules of IITs. You will receive a BE degree instead of a B.Tech.

If we look at the flagship courses and placement opportunities, it may give us a rough idea of what course you should go for.

The University offers a total of ten degrees for UG and PG programs. Out of which BE remains the all-time popular course, which is offered in six branches: CSE, ECE, ME, IT, Biotechnology, Electrical, and Electronics Engineering.

As per my interaction with my friend, the best branches among these are CSE, IT, and ECE. If you are looking for some other branch, then it is suggested to look for some other college. The placement and other facilities for IT and CSE are very good.

Choose the course which is under your budget, has good placement opportunities, and obviously of your interest. 

Most colleges in India, even the top ones, usually fail to provide good placement opportunities for core branches like Electronics Engineering. The majority of the ECE students find their own way to get into consultancies, IT MNCs, or startups, some also choose to prepare for examinations like GATE and CAT.

UIET provides a good environment for the preparation of competitive examinations. Also, at least 50% of students of core branches in UIET prepare for GATE, CAT, or GRE. If you are expecting placement in one of the core branches, then don't join ECE in UIET rather take branches like CSE and IT.

If you are hardworking and want to prepare for GATE/CAT/GRE/ESE/UPSC then you can join UIET. Chandigarh has many good coaching centers for the preparation of these examinations. 

If you have a keen interest in biotechnology, then B.Tech in Biotechnology is an excellent field. But if you aren’t interested in the branch it will be better to go for other branches. I have friends from both institutes. Here are some of the facts about the Biotech course at both institutes based on the interactions I had with them. 

Comparison:

• Biotech from UIET Chandigarh is decent, but the placement opportunities are limited. But if you have a good academic record then you can go for higher studies at Panjab University which has a good industry interface with Sun Pharma. 
• Panjab University holds a better international reputation than Thapar University. It will help you sail through the admission process in a leading foreign institute for further education in biotech.
• The crowd in UIET Chandigarh is better than Thapar University. The reason is, UIET requires to require a less JEE Mains cut-off rank as compared to Thapar.
• Thapar is a private university. So, it has the edge over the placements compared to UIET Chandigarh. Being a private institution it charges a massive fee as compared to UIET Chandigarh.
• Thapar has a tie-up Trinity College, Dublin, so you get an opportunity to do (2+2), i.e., two years at Thapar and two years at Trinity. This program can hike the fee up to INR 40-45 Lakhs.

Before joining, it will be better to have a conversation with the students on campus to have a wholesome knowledge about the institutes.

Yes, you might be able to get into UIET Chandigarh with a JEE Main rank of 74,000. The most likely branch that you will get into as a general category is ECE, EEE, or Mechanical. Things will change if you belong to a reserved category student and you might be able to score a seat in CSE. 

Here is the latest required cutoff for UIET.

Based on this ranking, the hostel is only allocated in biotechnology and engineering without the hostel in Chandigarh is costly, so try to get into the hostel. Other than this, some private hostels will give you everything essential, but they come at a huge cost.
