What Students Say
Likes
- The buildings that have been recently constructed are well maintained and look stunning .
- 3 mentor meetings are held per semester to discuss any problems that students are facing including the ones regarding subject-teachers.
- One gets a lot of opportunities for extracurriculars including those inside and outside the campus .
Dislikes
- The campus is spread across JUST 70 acres, out of which the areas near CSE buildings and Canteen are always stuffed with people. The students in the canteen are always more than the number of seats available .
- There are no sheds when going from one building/block to another which causes students to expose in severe sun's heat everytime.
- There are not enough teachers to accommodate the large number of students(CSE) which results in being taught by a teacher which has no experience teaching the subject he/she is teaching currently but has expertise in a different field.
Course Curriculum Overview
The course itself has been designed really good as there are always changes made to it after considering the suggestions from the students that have just cleared that semester.This helps the juniors alot .The date for examinations is not quite set well as once we had our exam the next day of our FRESHER's party which doesnot make any sense at all.The updated curriculum includes links and resources mentioned to study the same topic from bubt the video links are more than 10 year old made by proffesors of IIT's which doesnot keep the students engaged.The students are provided with the Course Handouts(CHO) at the beginning of their semesters so they can start their studies and go with thier own pace if they want to.The CHO also includes lecture-wise topics to be covered which really helps .
Internships Opportunities
The university doesnot directly provide any internships but keeps students informed about the government and other private opportunities in which students can enroll and try.A company from which the students get alot of opportunities is Reliance and the companies under it .The internship opportunities are generally of 6 months here and students usually don't look up for stipend but for experience (as told by alot of seniors).The university also asks you to study out of what they are teaching in the class to grab good opportunities because the course is designed for an average student.
Placement Experience
The campus provides placements to a decent level .On asking from alot of seniors,I got to know that the average package of B.E(CSE) is around 7-8lpa but the university also provides a chance to get placed for 20-40lps easily if you have the rght skills .I have talked to those people personally and they have confirmed their packages.The highest package that ever went was around 50lps as far as I am concerned.I have planned to aim for atleast 1lakh per month after getting my degree.I love what I have opted for here at the University and really enjoy it as I were are just few steps away from getting into the corporate worldand finally start earning
Fees and Financial Aid
The year-wise fees for my branch is Rs2,40,000 (i.e Rs1,20,000 per semester).So far the university does not provide a scholorship but constantly keeps students updated about the government or private scholorship schemes that are available.The fees for B.E(CSE with AI) is roughly around Rs2,90,000/year (i.e 1,45,000 per semester).Also there is an increase in the fees every year for for new comers but for us it remains the same for all the semesters.

Campus Life
There are always some events being held by clubs in Chitkara and it really helps you socialize to an extent.The DJ night here for hostelers is quite famous and it takes place quite often.The library is filled with all the necessary books related to our course and one needs to carry their adhaar card with them to get verified at the reception to get books on lease.Every CSE classroom consists of a projector ,4 slider white boards,a black marker, a mic(optional). The sports ground here isn't well maintained as it gets wet even after slight rain and water gets collected in it due to its low ground level but the facilities for indoor games is quite decent although there is a need for more tables and equipments in there.The famous clubs/chapters in Chitkara are-ACM,Geeks for Geeks,Open-Source Chandigarh,Coding Ninjas and other local groups which are still in developing stage but actively host different events for students which are quite fun to participate in .
Admission
The I chose this college as my last option because all the collges near me were either badly managed or had really high fees but chitkara was an all rounder in these things and satisfied the gap .I didn't apply for other colleges as I knew people who had gone to each ones of those near me and everyone suggested me not to go there but it was opposite in case of Chitkara.The one university I was really inrterested in was Thapar University but its fees was around 24lakhs for 4 years and it wasn't really worth it.The admission process for my college is -60% in all PCM,must have given JEE mains but the admission happened in descending order like the person with the most percentage got admission first .
Faculty
Most of the faculty members donot care if the student understands the concept or not ,they entirely focus on completing the syllabus .There have been times when some teachers have been spotted learning HTML,CSS from a website itself in class(as they have expertise in a different field but are teaching an entirely different field due to lack of teachers ).The faculty that I personally along with my classmates loved the most is Dr Tejpal Sharma who is also our mentor.He explains everything with patience also guiding us about various things .He is are about the student psychology and knows his field really well.On the other hand the faculty that I didnot like was Mrs. Neha Sharma(currently teaching us Front-End but has expertise in Python).She has been spotted copy pasting code from a tutorial website and on being counter questioned about a thing in the same ,she doesnot have a reply and tells us by googling it.Even we taught her about a topic once in the class.
