The faculty at Chandigarh University is really helpful. Teachers there don't just teach, they bring real business cases, projects and examples to class. They don't just finish syllabus, they guide students for internships, projects and jobs. Guest lectures, company visits, and mentorship all this is part of their routine. The mentorship at CU is also something worth talking about. One mentor takes care of only a few students. SO every student gets proper attention. They help in studies, give tips for exams, help in time managemnet and even guide for resumes, internship and job options and about the percentage of students getting placed, the university ensures 100% placement and almost every student gets placed. In CSE, students get placed in MNCs, like Microsoft, AMazon, IBM, Hewlett Packard, SAP Labs, Samsung, L&T, Acresium, Wipro, Flipkart etc.

For taking admission at Chandigarh University in B.E. in CSE, the eligibility criteria is very easy and clear. Here, eligibility needs 10+2 passed with Physics and Mathematics as fixed subjects. Along with them, any one subject from Chemistry, Biotechnology, Biology, Computer Science, or IT is needed. Minimum 60% marks are asked in total.

The admission path is open in three ways. First is CUCET, the common test by Chandigarh University. Second is the JEE Main result. Third is the direct merit of 12th marks. Students can choose the option that fits them.

After meeting the condition, apply online, submit marks or appear in test, and wait for merit list. The whole process is simple and easy to follow.

It mostly depends on personal interest in choosing the branch. Chandigarh University has in place the most popular CSE (General), which has all the basics of Computer Science and advanced topics like AI, IoT, and cloud. This ensures good clarity concerning available career options after graduation. 

Specialized branches might probably be beneficial if already interested, for example, CSE-MC for anyone passionate about developing mobile applications alongside software interfaces. Another is IoT, which is best for quite a number who lean more towards smart devices, sensors, and technologies of future advancement. But IT is to CSE what an applied computing strand is to a regular computing strand, bearing more on networking. 

So, if you happen to be confused, go with CSE (General); however, if at all you have a clear passion for a field like IoT or Mobile, then choose specialization. Both ways, the university provides good exposure and training.

Every university has pros and cons, it depends upon what you are seeing. I think there are no cons, there are only pros. The department has big labs like Microsoft Innovation Centre, IBM Software Lab, and robotics center. Students get chance to work on real projects and attend hackathons. There are many options in CSE like AI, ML, Cyber Security, and Cloud. From 4th semester, electives open for students. Placements are also a strong point. Many big companies like Amazon, Microsoft, and Google visit the campus. The course is accredited, which makes the degree globally accepted. So overall, CSE here gives modern learning with some challenges of pressure and crowd.
