Himachal Pradesh University - [HPU], Shimla - Affiliated Colleges

Shimla is one of the best places in India. HPU Shimla is situated in the beautiful hills of Shimla. A senior of mine who attended HPU, says that life at HPU Shimla is good. Every facility is given to the students at HPU Shimla.

• HPU Shimla has excellent faculty in every department and also most of them have received a Ph.D. degree in their respective fields. 
• The seniors here are also helpful and supportive. 
• HPU Shimla has a lovely hostel as well overlooking the hills and the valleys.
• HPU Shimla conducts several cultural festivities and events. It has got a large auditorium where the events and functions are held. 

Life at HPU Shimla will be pretty amazing. It is better to stay away from politics and just enjoy college life and the academics in the university. 

I have a few friends from HPU Shimla and according to them, there is no specific syllabus for Zoology entrance. The question of the last few years can be helpful in analyzing the paper pattern. There is no specific syllabus mentioned but the courses generally comprise the topics from the UG degree. So it is definitely recommended to study the UG books and it would be really helpful if you could get previous papers.

There are some books that can be useful such as Arihant’s entrance test book for MSc. 

It entirely depends on which course you are opting for. Generally, in comparison, GNDU Amritsar will have the upper hand over HPU UIIT Shimla on the basis of the institute level and the infrastructure. 

GNDU Amritsar has very good infrastructure and facilities. The environment of the institute is very good and well for studies. The seniors present there are helpful too. GNDU Amritsar has also got a huge library which the students can access anytime. The library is fully air-conditioned along with the separate reading rooms. The institute is also famous for its huge achievements in the field of sports.

GNDU offers decent placement opportunities. In 2021, the highest CTC offered was 13 LPA. 

The college is overall good and even better for the MBA course. Here are some facts and stats for your reference that will help you make a decision.
