Q:   Is Punjab University under CUET?

A: 

Yes, Punjab University is under CUET. All postgraduate courses at Central University of Punjab, including the M.Ed., require CUET PG. If you have not taken the CUET PG, the university will not evaluate your application for admission.

A national level entrance test for postgraduate programs in India is called the Common University Entrance Test (CUET PG). The National Testing Agency (NTA) is in charge of conducting it. The test consists of three portions and is based on multiple-choice questions:

Subject-specific Test (SST) and General Test (GAT)
WAT: Writing Ability Test
The GAT part evaluates the candidate's aptitude and general knowledge. The SST portion assesses the candidate's familiarity with the field of study they intend to pursue. A candidate's writing abilities are evaluated in the WAT portion.

Admission to postgraduate programs at Central University of Punjab is entirely based on performance in the CUET PG exam. Your other academic credentials, such as the grades you earned in your bachelor's degree, won't be taken into account by the university for admission.

The college is good and worth it, as the faculty here is good compared to other colleges.
Placements: The college does not provide many placement options. As it offers mainly humanities subjects, the graduated students either opt for further studies like M.A., B.Ed. or prepare for the government exams. I did not come to know about any placement from the college till now.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure is okay. The library of the college is really good, but the other facilities are not that good. The classrooms are equipped with broken benches, and lights and fans are also not working. The hostel facility is average. Each room has 2 beds, 2 study tables, 1 tubelight, and 1 ceiling fan. Coolers are not provided. Each room also has a balcony.
Faculty: The faculty of the college is good. They are easily approachable and help students at every step. Some professors give real-world knowledge along with bookish knowledge, but some professors are not on par with the student's needs. They just read the chapters from the book and mark those chapters done.
Other: I chose B.A. with honors in Economics because I have a keen interest in it, and the faculty of the economics department is really good. They further increased my interest in this subject. The college also holds various fests like GCG11 Fiesta and each department's fest, etc. Various other activities are done, like blood donation camps, which are organized annually in collaboration with PGI Chandigarh. The college has various clubs as well, like the Epiphany Club, Geography Club, Red Society, etc.

College furniture needs to be changed. There should be more placements.
Placements: There are not too many placements. And the one they are offering is not worth the fee of the course; there should be more placements in the respective field and they should spread awareness among different courses, which we can do along with the graduation to face the competition with some different skills .
Infrastructure: Furniture needs to be changed and renewed; the wooden furniture is not comfortable for a 45-minute lecture; there should be good quality furniture; hostels are lacking in facilities based on their perceptions; the perceptions are increasing year after year, but the facilities do not.
Faculty: Faculty is good, teachers are friendly and supportive, and they teach very well and give extra knowledge. They also restrict us to the syllabus only but with the current issues, they should also add current affairs-related topics and some sessions, particularly based on the current situation of our nation.
Other: The campus is quite good and the crowd is also okay but not what I expected with the name of MCM DAV College.

DAV College- A detailed review.
Placements: In our college, students get admission based on their 12th results, and for the B.A. course, students should secure about 60-65%. The college is very good. I suggest students join this college without any further thinking.
Infrastructure: We have labs for each and everything, like psychology labs, bio labs, zoology labs, etc. We also have smart classrooms. Wi-Fi facility is provided to each and every student. The food served in the hostel is also very good. There are different sports like cricket, basketball, hockey, etc.
Faculty: Faculty members are good, highly qualified, and full of passion. Their teaching skills are exceptional. The course curriculum is very genuine, and it makes the students industry-ready. Semester exams are not so difficult to pass, and the pass percentage is 40%.

Overall satisfied with campus facilities.
Placements: Every student who sits for placements gets a job opportunity in the company. The highest salary package offered is 25 LPA. The lowest salary package offered is around 4 LPA. Banking and management companies visit the college. Around 40-55% of students got their seats in placements.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure and facilities are not very bad, but just average. Wi-Fi is available, but it is not very strong to reach the classroom. A library is available on the campus. The staff is very supportive and kind. The food is available for students. The canteen maintains hygiene.
Faculty: Teachers are helpful and supportive. The teaching quality and teachers are above average. The course is relevant and makes students industry-ready. Semester exams are not difficult. They are neither easy nor tough. They are somewhere easy. The passing mark for PU exams is 27 out of 80.

I'm very dissatisfied with the placements which are provided by the college.
Placements: Honestly, MCM DAV College for women does not provide any good placements, even for the toppers; the placements that are provided are very low-quality. I would never prefer any college that does not provide good placements, especially for B.Com.
Infrastructure: The Wi-Fi at our college is of no use; it doesn't work anywhere except the library and celebration grounds. Classrooms are not well built; they are very suffocating in the summer, and the benches are very uncomfortable. It would be better if there were more fans in the classroom.
Faculty: Some of the teachers are helpful while others are very rude. The exams are not that difficult; a person can easily pass them just by studying one month prior. It would be better if the teachers were more helpful and if there was more gap between the midterms and finalterms.
Other: MCM doesn't organize a lot of events and fests, and its very difficult to get the permission of our principal for anything and the receptionist is very rude.
