Students who are well focused and hardworking, can gain a good package from campus.
Placements: Talking about the percentage of students placed, then it's a very small amount. Around 40% of students are there who are getting placement. Rest are studying and preparing. The highest package I heard was 19 LPA, the lowest was 3 LPA, and the average is like 5 to 6 LPA. Schneider, TechMahindra, and Microsoft are some of the major companies. For internships, around 40 to 50% of students got selected.
Roles offered are full-stack developer, software developer, and data analyst. Now a days, ML engineers are also in demand. But there's not any hiring for it right now.
Infrastructure: Infrastructure is good as it is a private university. Fee is also a bit high
There are well-maintained labs, high-speed internet on the whole campus, and separate libraries for each department. Talking about hostels and mess, then it's a problem for some of the students. 70% are happy, but 30% say it's not good.
The food is fixed for the whole week. And also, they don't get the good taste of it. Hostel rooms are very small, and a real problem occurs in summers when coolers don't work properly.
Faculty: Curriculum is well planned but not well executed. There are a handful of teachers who are willing to support and work hard for their students. The majority of them just pass the time, do the formalities, and run.
Also, teaching is an art that many of our faculty members should need to learn. Semester exams are not very difficult. Coding exams might give some difficulties. A student needs to earn 40% per subject to pass it for a semester. Courses don't make students well prepared for industries, but their self-education and hard work do.
Other: I have chosen this course due to the increasing demand of the software and AI/ML industries. Also, companies offer a good package if the student is capable of these skills, like AI engineer, web developer, data analyst, and so on.
The college should offer more teacher talks and industry visits to students. They should also hire good teachers who actually have the talent to teach. Talking about events and functions, Chitkara offers a number of events for students to enjoy, so that's good.
