Regarding infrastructure and facilities, Chandigarh University's average cannot be compared with LPU, SRM, or any other big university. However, in terms of placements, CGC brings great happiness. The placement opportunities at CGC are pretty good, especially for software engineering. Many reputed companies like Google, Amazon, Flipkart, Dell, IBM, Infosys, Cognizant, etc., visit the campus for recruitment.

CGC is growing very fast and is becoming the number-one university in the northern region for software engineering. However, the number of students per stream is around 1400, which is quite a large number, making competition challenging. The teachers in the first year may need improvement, but after you go to your core branch in the second year, the staff is well experienced and quite good.

CGC conducts various competitive fests and workshops. Additionally, they provide international internships with foreign universities in the USA, Canada, and more. CGC has also started the TPP program, which teaches students aptitude, C, C++, and communication skills, preparing them for technical interviews during placements.

Overall, CGC is a good college, but attendance is a major issue. A minimum of 75% attendance is compulsory to give the examination. Even if you get 74.4%, you will not be able to give your final exams. In case, you're thinking of doing B. Tech from Chandigarh, you should first give preference to Thapar, CCET, and PEC.

According to my friends at Chandigarh University, there is also a chance that you were impressed by the PR and publicity done by the staff of the university. If this is the case, their advice to you would be to not join the college because once you have paid your fees to them, they will not listen to your problems.

  • It is advised to not compare CU with other colleges like SRM, VIT, or even Amity and Thapar for that matter. Because these colleges have a brand value. 
  • CU has been relatively new. The college does not have sufficient enough rooms for students in the hostel either.
  • When my friends and I were attending college, there were around 300 to 400 students who had to live in the halls because of insufficient space in the hostel rooms. 
  • The college does not have sufficient infrastructure.
  • In the beginning, the college did not have air-conditioned classrooms either. 

If you are going according to the location, CU is not located in Chandigarh. It is based in a village called Gharuan and the crowd of the college is not that great either.

Overall, the college does have a good joint placement record but this will probably not play in your favor. If you have a good IQ and scores, don’t opt for this college. Instead go to Thapar, SRM, or VIT.
