Abhijain1484's Review on Chandigarh University, [CU] Chandigarh

Top companies like PADMINI VNA, GODREJ, TECH MAHINDRA, AICRA, UBL, JARO EDUCATION, PEARCE SERVICES, VEDANTU, WIPRO, COGNIZANT visited for campus placements in our time. The average salary package offered was Rs 5 lakh LPA and the highest package offered was 12 LPA. Mainly APtitude test is held first which filters many out followed by Groud discussion round and finally, technical interview round is held. Nearly 70% of students got placed from our batch.

Eligibility criteria for admission to BE Mechatronics are 50% for General category and 45% for SC/ ST quota. I gave JEE mains exam as the entrance exam but it is not mandatory for admission in CU, it is for scholarship and one can get up to 100% scholarship.

There are no cut-offs for the courses instead direct admission is allowed but recently after getting NAAC A+ accreditation, the CUCET entrance test is made compulsory which further in one exam with two benefits as it is an entrance cum scholarship test.

The faculty is very skilled and experienced. Mostly they are Ph.D. holders and research scholars. Regular workshops, expert lectures are held for providing industry-based knowledge and certification like by Texas Instruments. Total lectures held are 7 per day and teachers use modern teaching aids like PPT, video PPT, and whiteboard marker for explaining the concepts.

Many student clubs are there in every department. Mechatronics department had a robotics club that organized several events and competitions like ROBOWARS, ROBORACE, AMPHIBIAN BOT, ACROBATIC FLYERS, PICK AND PLACE BOT CHALLENGE. Many festivals and fests are held every year like AIU cultural fest, Punjab Youth fest, CU Fest, many film stars and celebrities keep visiting our campus for promoting their films. Even technical events like ABDUL KALAM Innovation day is also celebrated.
