Ask & Answer: India's Largest Education Community

Placement Statistics of CU on the whole.

CU had 9,124 in the engineering placement drives (batch 2023-24) and other programs.


In 2024-25, the engineering companies that took part in the placement season are more than 240.


Core-companies visiting on Mechanical and allied branches have been on the increase too.


Specifics of Mechanical Engineering.

Mechanical is lower than CSE / ECE in terms of average median / average package. As an example in 2023, constitutional data indicates:

Branch Median/Average Package
Mechanical Engineering Rs 4 LPA (median)


Good performers also have higher offers. In the Mechanical division, the following are recent best packages reported: 11 LPA (Energy Exemplar India).

, 10 LPA (High Radius) 
Chandigarh University
, ~7-8 LPA for many core roles.


There are cases of Rs 3 LPA as the lowest packages of mechanical can. 


Recruiters & Types of Roles

Mechanical Engineering students are recruited into core / manufacturing companies and big companies in the related disciplines. A few of the companies quoted: Ashok Leyland, Yamaha Motors, Alstom Transport etc.


The positions are apparently mostly in design, manufacturing, R&D support, quality, etc., core engineering positions can be found, particularly with good project / academic credentials.


Facilities & Support

CU purports to have contemporary laboratories, fine facilities, and equipment such as CNC, simulator software, etc. in the hands of Mechanical undergraduates. These assist students to be industry-enabled.

Internships and industry tie-ups are also emphasized upon.

Electrical Engineering is really one of the best programme at Chandigarh University.The programme structure is the first that is seen while talking about electrical engineering. Apart from its AICTE approval and NBA accreditation, Chandigarh University runs this course. The programme involves core courses like power systems, energy systems, electric vehicles, and control. Options are provided for computing methods and instrumentation. What makes it unique is the opportunity to minor in Artificial Intelligence with Microsoft certifications like Azure AI Fundamentals and Azure Data Fundamentals. The labs which are well supported are machine lab, power system lab, and control lab. HARTEK has set up a unique lab for the industry with a concept of green and sustainable learning. Regular workshops and seminars add value to such additional skills. The curriculum has an industry focus, where experts guide the projects. Students also get associated with various professional bodies like IEEE. In short, the course offers a mix of basic knowledge along with exposure to new technologies, making it a balanced option for electrical aspirants. 

In terms of software engineering, Chandigarh University is the bestest. At CU, students learn in highly practical and advanced, industry-sponsored labs created by global tech giants like Microsoft Innovation Center, IBM Software Lab, Oracle Academy, EMC² Academic Alliance, Unisys Innovation Labs, and many more. For the students, it is those lab setups that give them the kind of hands-on experience with the real world tools they are going to find in the tech industry. Key subjects such as Data Structures, Web Technologies, Java Programming, and Relational Database Management Systems (RDBMS) form the core of the curriculum and these are the basic skills of the software engineer.

Yeah, why not, as far as I know, aerospace at Chandigarh University is really a great program. From labs, infrastructure to facilities at the department, everything is top. The various organizations such as ISRO, DRDO, HAL, HDFC, and other private aviation corporations come to the university to hire the students offering them high packages. The course and associated labs help the student attain a parallel stake in the actual career of engineering after graduation. Some choose higher education abroad post-degree programme because of international recognition of the degree. Placements are very good in this niche; everyone who is dedicated to having a career only in Aero offers beneficial diversity.

Aerospace Engineering is worth accomplishing. Customized labs have been provided by the university. Quite practical everywhere, actually. Flight Simulation Lab is a lab well-equipped with systems controlling high-tech operations along with a Wind Tunnel Lab, which is at the same time an ideal testing ground. There are CFD labs for propulsion studies. These very specialised and highly effective labs act as a de facto-instrument in students' learning challenges, precisely in the engineering fields. The projects as discussed and model constructions are given equal importance. The entire course covers core areas like avionics, aircraft structures, propulsion, etc. Further, interested students are encouraged to explore innovation and start-up settings and turn their ideas into drones, satellites, etc. with the practical approach. 

Civil engineering will always be a profession in demand-from roads to houses, everywhere civil engineers are required. The civil course at Chandigarh University is structured according to new industry requirements. It involves the basics like fluid mechanics, surveying, structures, and modern subjects. Students get labs, workshops, and project training. Many seminars and guest lectures are also arranged for practical knowledge. It ties its students with industry experts through collaborations. Thus students get an insight into real projects and their future career options. The emphasis is on practical work as well as theory. One best value of this degree comes from its rankings and international accreditations. The diversity of learners in this environment shows that one can find many students from all over the country and internationally. The course generally provides balanced academics, abilities, and exposure to anyone interested in entering the field of civil engineering.

Yes, the ECE department at Chandigarh University is really great. The course holds approvals like AICTE and is accredited by NBA and ABET. Students get the option to choose electives in VLSI Design, Embedded Robotics and IoT, or Communication and Signal Processing. The programme also brings new learning with minors in Artificial Intelligence and Microsoft certifications like Azure AI Fundamentals and Azure Data Fundamentals. Focus is on practical education with a project-based approach. 

Labs are well developed, like VLSI lab, simulation lab, advanced technology lab, and PCB design lab under Altium Education. There is also an embedded system lab in a tie-up with KPIT. Along with this, students learn to apply AI for solving engineering problems, understand ethical use of AI, and explore innovation in an interdisciplinary way. With regular mentorship and industry exposure, the programme helps prepare students with real skills for careers in the electronics and communication field.
