At Chandiharh University, the teaching style is mixed with industry learning. Students get to use TV studio, camera setups, and news production rooms.

These activities help them explore creativity and learn teamwork. Every semester, students join field assignments, reporting tasks, and photography events.

I think that if you get supportive faculty, half of your academic journey is smooth and it's the truth, the faculty at the university is also really good. They are not just teachers, they are mentors. They guide students with everything, from cracking interviews to choosing the right career path. 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 management, and even guide for resumes, internships, and job options. Some mentors even have industry work experience, so they tell how real jobs work. They also help students gain confidence, improve soft skills, and get ready for the workplace, but at CGC, the faculty members are so rude and do not even have the proper knowledge of subjects.
