Here are a few things every 1st year should keep in mind at Karunya University:
Hope you have a good time here.
College life at Karunya University is the same for both boys and girls. You will have to follow the dress code, attendance, and morning prayers.
When it comes to hostels, girls and boys have different rules. Overall rules for girls are more strict. Girls have curfews around 6-6:30. Boys can stay outside for longer. You will also be under CCTV surveillance on campus.
Overall, if you choose your friends wisely, you can have a good time during your stay at the institute.
If you are talking about service-based placement then, you will have good opportunities at Karunya. Many companies like Accenture, IBM, TechMahindra, Cognizant visit the campus placements. The average salary offered by service-based companies ranges from 2.7 LPA - 3.5 LPA.
However, there are very few product-based companies visiting the campus placements. Some of the product-based companies that visit the campus placements are Nutanix, Netapp, etc. These companies also take a limited number of students, 1-5 at maximum.
Also don’t expect reputed MNCs like Microsoft, Facebook, etc.
Overall, Karunya offers decent placements. Around 80-85% of students get placed, every year. The highest CTC offered last year was 25 LPA.
There are no placements for food technology at Karunya University. I personally know a few alumni of the university who were offered to shift their branch from food technology to any other branch because there were only 14 of them in that batch.
If you are really interested in food technology then, I would suggest you make a plan for higher studies before taking admission in the food technology branch of Karunya University. Also, do not rely on the university for placements. They only focus on placements of IT, CSE students. Overall, the average CTC offered at the institute is 3-4 LPA.
Cybersecurity is a great discipline for a PG degree in Computer Science. It has huge scope in research and jobs in the industry.
However, Karunya University is deemed to be a university with minority status. It ranks lower than IITs, NITs, IIITs, Central Universities, State Universities, and reputed Govt. University colleges like UVCE Bangalore, CEG Chennai, etc. However, their MTech program has tie-ups with foreign universities.
But don’t expect much from the University. I am saying this because my brother is an alumnus of the university.
The education quality of the University is poor. Only a few of the faculty members are academically qualified but, they are incapable of teaching. They lack the ability to provide real-time explanations for any problem. However, IAESTE is a way through which you can get exposure in your field of study. In fact, it is the only way through which you will get exposure in your field of study.
To conclude, Karunya University is definitely not the first choice for an M.Tech in Cybersecurity but it is not a bad choice either.
There are many activities that you can do during the weekends at Karunya University.
Other than that students usually complete their assignments, wash clothes, binge-watch favorite series, and spend time with their friends, during weekends.
One of my friends studied at Karunya University. According to him, it is very reputed in the country. The campus environment is peaceful and comfortable.
Hence, the rules and regulations of this university are very strict and you will have to abide by all the rules if you wish to study at this university.
I have a few friends who graduated from Karunya University and according to them, it is a decent university for pursuing your MBA. The academics and teaching methodology employed at the institute is great.
However, the placement record of the university is not that great. The companies that come to campus placement for MBA are very few in number. But if you have the required skills you can get off-campus placement. According to the recent placement highlights the highest CTC offered at the institute is 25 LPA.
The Management of Karunya University changes the dress code for girls frequently. It depends on their mood. Some days kurti and leggings are allowed while some days they are scolded for wearing tight leggings. They won’t even let you sit for class with such clothes.
Girls are expected to wear a Salwar Kameez or Churidar with a dupatta pinned at the shoulders. They also have to wear the university blazer on special occasions. They also have to wear a lab uniform in the laboratory classes and wear their ID cards all the time.
Hope this helps you!
