Should I join Chandigarh University? Is it good?

If you have a handful of tier-3 private universities and less recognized government colleges in your choice list and you don't want to waste a year, joining Chandigarh University can be the best shot you have got. When you join Chandigarh University, you must be ready to learn yourself because you won't be learning much in the majority of lectures, but you need to study yourself to be proficient in anything.

Here are some of the pros and cons of joining Chandigarh University:

Pros:

• No Raging at all, which is great because you can focus on your studies without being disturbed by bullies.
• Excellent placements: The university brings top product-based companies like Google, Informatica, Amazon American Express, Code Nation, Walmart, Nutanix, JusPay, and many others companies to the campus for placements.
• Support for NCC and sports activities: If you are good at sports, the university will support you and give you attendance, even scholarships for you to play and represent them.
• The fees here are comparatively less and they offer many scholarships to the students too.
• Good foreign exchange programs: You can meet a lot of international students on campus, and you can also go to other international universities for semester exchange if you are interested.
• Placement starts as early as the end of the 6th semester for CSE students.
• Close to the mountains: A three-hour drive can take you to Shimla, Manali, Triund, Rishikesh and all other beautiful spots are nearby, so in case you want to travel and you like mountains, you can make the best of your college life on weekends.
• The college campus is huge with many facilities, including a stadium and a Dominos outlet, so you don't need to step out of the campus.
• If a new movie is about to release, you should expect the star cast of that movie to appear on the campus for promotion. It is crazy; everyone has been here.

Cons:

• Lots of students: There are 2500+ students in CSE, which means competition is tough, but this is also beneficial as you can score well and there are many more opportunities that are made available.
• Strict School-like rules: Girls are locked in the girl's hostel, and they are not allowed beyond 8 p.m. outside their hostel, which is not ideal.
• Hostel food: Just like every other college, you may start hating the food after two months of joining.
• Attendance: You have to maintain 75% attendance like other colleges, but you can get away by participating in multiple contests and other activities, which will give you duty leaves that add up to the attendance.
• ID Card: You have to wear an ID card, or else the chancellor might catch you and scold you, and some guards may check you for ID cards as if you are carrying explosives in your bag.
• Lots of guys: Although there are many girls on campus, there are also a lot of guys, which means competition is high.
• Young teachers: Some of the teachers are young and teach first-year students, but after the first year, you get experienced and much-reputed professors. However, having young teachers helps you connect with them more, and you may have many teachers as friends.
• Forced participation: If there is an event and they don't have enough participation, they might chase you and bring you from hostels, which can be fun.
• Uniform on Wednesdays: You have to wear a uniform on Wednesdays, or else you may be fined or not allowed in the classes.
