Jasleen Kaur's Review On Panjab University - [PU], Chandigarh

I appeared on my 12th class merit basis. I scored 89%. Admission procedure was simple and interview questions were based on academic and daily life experience.

My degree is in hons and majorly includes physics and electronics (mostly theoretical). We have to submit projects with presentations by the end of the semester. In another semester, we have to perform 8-10 experiments of our subject physics and give vivas also.

There's not any such placement or internship fest organised by our department/college. We have to do all such things on our own which is based on our course, our own learning ability and potential.

We have options to appear for various tests to get into research work, teaching and industrial jobs in electronics field. There's no such annual Placement /job fest.

Events include Scitron(science fest), symposiums, lectures and seminars by national as well as international personalities on physics and research in it. Cultural and festive events include diwali fair, rose festival, lohri, gurupurabs' paath, annual freshers' party and farewell.

Fees for our course is more than other courses in university as most of them are govt aided but that of ours in self-financed. Govt aided course have annual fees of around 12-15 thousands per annum whereas that of ours is nearly Rs. 60,000 per year.

Many scholarships are there on meri base as well as family financial conditions. Some are annual while many are monthly paying. They even conduct test for admission and scholarahip in research work. Inspire is one of them.

The university life apart from studies is quite enjoyable. Various events, debates, sports, cultural and many other events are quite frequent in the campus. There is no major case or issue of any kind of inequality in the campus. 70% of the students are girls and 30% boys. Still there's no social insecurity while goin out at any time of the day.

Examinations and labs are quite smartly managed. One internal exam every semester and then final. We have to complete any 8-10 experiments in each semester, which means 2-3 every month.

Faculty is more towards research than teaching. But Most of the professors are helping, anywhere and anytime. The teaching criteria is not that great as most of the syllabus is theoretical.
