    According to me, you should pursue Computer Science Engineering. Computer Science has become a fascinating field and focuses on the theoretical foundation of computing along with state-of-the-art development of computing solutions. It is a combination of programming, hardware administration, software administration, networking, and network security. The objective is to prepare students to undertake careers involving innovation and problem solving using computational techniques and technologies, or to undertake advanced studies for research careers or to take up Entrepreneurship.

    If you are interested in doing engineering, then only go for it. There's no such branch which doesn't have a scope. If you want to do your engineering, choose the branch in which you are interested.

    Opt for the branch which has the work of your liking and for which you have some natural flair. Don't go completely by what the market suggests.

    That is entirely dependent on your answers to the following questions:
    What do you want to do for a living? What does the degree you want to earn allow you to do in the future? You'll get the answer if you answer both of them honestly to yourself. If you have an interest, aptitude, frame of mind, temperament, passion, or personality attributes that connect with your objectives in any of these fields, you have a lot of options. That is why, in the first place, all of the branches are taught at such a wide number of universities. Before making a decision, you must think about it thoroughly. Every field has a large number of job openings a

    Hi Vishal let me tell you, IT is going to stay for a long time, given the massive digitilisation of the world. So the potential of this field in terms of jobs too is massive. I would suggest that IT is one field that you can blindly trust. Many colleges and universities offer degrees in IT and CSE. The B Tech CSE programme is one programme that LPU is known for. Well-tailored course content to meet the global industrial needs, good faculty, and state-of-the-art facilities have left many NITs far behind. The B Tech CSE programme primarily deals with the development as well as designing of computer software and hardware processes with a

I've had a really good experience with the mechanical engineering faculty at Chandigarh University. Most of them are PhD holders, so you can tell they know their subject inside out. What I like is that they're not just teaching from books—they share real-world examples, guide us in labs, and help with projects. The faculty is approachable, so if you ever get stuck on something, you can just ask, and they'll explain patiently. They also encourage students to explore electives like Thermal & Energy Engineering, Industrial Manufacturing, or Design & Robotics, and help you pick what suits your career goals.

Yes, Chandigarh University is a good choice for B.E. in Mechanical Engineering. What I really like about the programme is the variety of specializations you can pick, like Thermal & Energy, Industrial Manufacturing & Management, or Automation & Robotics. The labs are another strong point from 3D printing and advanced welding labs to industry-backed centres by Honda, Mahindra, Hyundai, and MG Motors. These collaborations give you hands-on exposure that feels very close to real-world industry work. On top of that, the department is both ABET and NBA accredited, which adds global recognition.
