Ask & Answer: India's Largest Education Community

Well, Let me answer this to my best.
Chitkara University.
Im currently in my 3rd year and Im in PEC University of Technology.
I have many friends in Chitkara.
First and Foremost:
Reputation.
Youll get mixed reactions on this.
The university is mostly for the kids who couldnt score that well in JEE and dont get their dream college or their dream branch in a specific college of their choice. So youll find more than a thousand students with relatively similar score in JEE. According to me the reputation isnt that good. :)
Curriculum: They level of education is really good! Coming from a govt. college I can surely say that the teachers are strict, labs are better and theyll teach you pretty well. On the other hand in my college(which is highly reputed), the education level is not that good.( trust me on this ).
Environment and exposure: well this matters the most. The environment isnt that good in Chitkara. Most of the students are non-serious about education and yes youll definitely find some good brains but mostly they dont really put that much effort in studying. By no means Im blaming kids but thats what I know about Chitkara. Generally youll not find kids discussing about subjects unlike in IITs.
Fee: pretty expensive Ill say. But Its okay.
Travel: If you are not taking the hostel, youll travel a lot everyday. Its in middle of no where.
Placements: Dont go on their brochure for placements. You should know that almost 800 students pursue CS every year there and not all of them are placed. Its a myth! If you outshine others, Youll get placed no matter which college.
So yeah, Its not a bad college if you are very serious about studying or youll just end up wasting your 4 years.
In a nutshell what matters is how much are you willing to learn. College will only give you a platform to perform :)
