M.Sc. in Chemistry - Batch of 2024

5Placements5Infrastructure5Faculty5Crowd & Campus Life5Value for Money

Overall best University for M.Sc. In Chemistry Course.

Placements: The college has a good reputation with employers, and more than 80% of students are placed each year. The highest package available is 21 LPA, and the typical package size is 14 LPA. 79% of students receive job prospects. Some of the top recruiters include SGS India, Intertek, and Bureau Veritas. My course offers careers such as Quality Control Analyst and Formulation Chemist.

Infrastructure: The university has a good infrastructure for courses. The classrooms are equipped with mixed technology, and there are large computer labs with software licenses. The two-story library has some good books but is lacking in textbooks. The hostel is well located inside the campus, but only the two top students in each batch can stay there. The food is good, but the menu is pretty much the same every week.

Faculty: All of the professors are PhDs with extensive knowledge in their subjects. The teaching methods are very different from other universities I've attended. The curriculum is solid and prepares students for careers, but there is still room for improvement. The courses are challenging but not overly difficult. The pass rate is over 70%.

Great opportunity and support.

M.A. in History - Batch of 2024

5Placements5Infrastructure5Faculty5Crowd & Campus Life5Value for Money

Overall best University for M.A. in History Course.

Placements: Our college, particularly our M.A. in History degree, provides numerous chances for students.

The lowest wage offered is 7 LPA. Top positions include researcher, content writer, and so on.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure of the college was adequate for the history course. The college provided adequate laboratory facilities for students to gain practical experience.

Faculty: Teachers were well-qualified, attended frequent classes, and were helpful in all areas of academics. Our course contained the most recent syllabus and had no unnecessary material to cover. It was crisp and clear, and it followed the syllabus for competitive tests. Semester examinations are relatively difficult, which is beneficial for us. The pass rate is 55%.

It's a developing college, has good infrastructure, but there are not many fests.

Placements: As undergraduate courses have been newly introduced in the Central University of Punjab, the B.Tech 2024 batch is the first batch for their college.

Satisfied with the faculty, placements not good.

Placements: Professors are highly skilled and well-educated in their domains and provide a good opportunity for research and field knowledge. The placement cell is not that much established in this university, but the research field is above average, and chances of getting your paper published are also possible in most cases.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure and the hostel facilities are very average. The rooms are shared between four people of different departments. The washroom facilities are also decent; workers clean them at least once every day. Food in the mess is like your regular home-cooked food, but the canteens are not available here near the hostel. You have to walk a lot to get basic groceries also.

Faculty: Faculty members are very knowledgeable and helpful also, but the exam curriculum is more like that we had in schools. Regular surprise tests, assignments, mid-term exams, and end-term exams. Even moral exams are a part of the curriculum here. Access to reading and books is good.

Other: Fests are less, but you'll find diversity in the crowd here.
