Review of Shiv Nadar University.
Placements: Product development, software and financial service based companies recruited students from 2018 batch. Some of these companies are Dell, Mother Dairy, Infotech, Cognizant, American Express, Goldman Sachs etc. Recruitment drives for B.Tech students are conducted at the beginning of the semester itself. Apart from final placements, internship drives are conducted on campus for junior batches. The college has a placement cell which is thoroughly engaged in this process. The school of humanities is comparatively younger, therefore, one cannot comment on its placement potential.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure of our college is good. Wi-Fi facility is available, and the data usage is limited to 3 Gb per week. The academic blocks and library are air-conditioned. Our library is one of the best features of SNU. Food provided in the mess is good. If one does not like the buffet meal, they can order from the Ala Care menu.
Faculty: SHSS has one of the best faculty members in SNU. The student-faculty ratio is generally 15:1. Professors are helpful as well as approachable. The course is research-based, so we can expect intensive readings and in-class discussions. Audio-visual methods are also used. The final year students have to write a thesis.
Other: SNU is situated in the very interiors of Dadri. However, reaching Noida is easy. Buses are available on the weekend that provides both drop and pick up. Otherwise, one can always cab pool and reach Noida or Greater Noida in a maximum of 1.5 hours. The annual inter-fest is called Breeze is celebrated.

Beautiful and well-equipped campus.
Placements: Placements in my field are not very common. Even internships provided by the university are rare. However, the university being under the owner of HCL provides a huge ground for placements in the engineering field. There is a placement cell available, and every year approximately 20% of the batch gets placed.
Infrastructure: The quality of infrastructure is exceptional. The hostels are clean and well-equipped. Most of the buildings are air-conditioned apart from the hostels. Since the university is residential, the dining halls are sanitary, and the food is very good. Apart from two dining halls, there is a cafe called Georgia and a place for coffee and rolls. All the buildings are regularly maintained, and any issues are addressed as soon as possible. The classrooms are huge and well lit with smart boards.
Faculty: As far as the humanities faculty goes, the teachers are beyond qualified and very enthusiastic about what they teach. The university gives professors the freedom to form and instruct their own courses any way they prefer. The courses are structured according to the students' requirements. The faculty to student ratio is 1;15. Apart from the major courses, we are allowed to pick electives from any field we choose.
Other: The university is located away from the main city of Delhi, in Dadri. It is surrounded by farm lands on all sides. The campus itself is massive, reaching over 286 acres. There is a lot of open space with indoor and outdoor sports facilities. There are two fests and other small events and festivals that are frequently celebrated. The crowd consists of a mix of ethnicities. All students are given a tuition scholarship when they are admitted, and unless their CGPA falls below 6.5, they keep their scholarship.
