Before getting admission in chandigarh university, I had applied to various universities including Indira Gandhi Delhi technical University for women (IGDTUW), various NIT's etc. I got a confirmed admission from IGDTUW. I chose chandigarh university over IGDTUW because it's curriculum is more relevant to the industry. I got rejected from the NIT's because because I got a not so good rank in their entrance exam. Plus they have a very limited number of seats. The admission process of chandigarh university is quite decent. You can apply online and then you will get a call from them in the next 2-3 days guiding you about the admission process. Then you just have to register yourself on their website and give a scholarship exam called CUCET, which is compulsory for every student. The admission experience in my case was quite smooth.

Faculty of chandigarh university is quite good and friendly in nature. They are experienced and have good teaching skills with great knowledge in their respective domains.

My favourite teachers were Mr. Anjul(teach Python) and Mr. Gaurav Bhardwaj(teach Linux) because they make study very interesting and easy. We have a total of 3 exams per semester, 2 are the mid terms called MST-1 and MST-2, and then final exams.
