I'm 19F, from West Bengal and I plan on taking admission in CU (2nd phase likely)
Hey there, I'm 19F, and I wanted some help regarding shortlisting and finalising my college. I have applied for certain colleges and the two I'm confused about are : JSS noida vs Chandigarh University (other options are mostly via wbjee: heritage, haldia etc but those don't really provide any coding culture or exposure)
It would be great if someone could help me out by answering these questions:
Median/Average reality : is it actually from 9-11L?
Companies visiting: any 2026 batch passouts or 3rd year peeps, could you tell me what all companies actually visited the campus and what's the overall % of students placed?
How is the coding culture, coding clubs and competitive programming and development crowd?
Does college provide exposure and overall crowd?
What is the summer internships and workshops scene? How do you guys get those? Does college help you guys in those?
How is the mess/hostel scenario? Is the food/living conditions good enough? (Preferably a girl could answer this one😭😭😭🎀)
How hard is it to maintain cgpa? Do you guys get time to upskill and stuff?
My other option as I said is jss university noida (not jssate,aktu affiliated, that has shut down and merged with jss university) which has newly formed in 2024 so there is no data or stats about the placements and companies because the oldest batch in this uni is in 3rd year😭🙂. But jssate(which was aktu affiliated) had a placement of around 37% 💀💀 with mostly them being mass recruiters so this is the scene with jssate/jss. So I am kinda confused like I can take the risk and go with jss and hope that it would improve in next 4 years but still jss uni is very new so I don't know what to do...
Budget is surely an issue. Total jss fees is 16L where as for chandigarh university it's 20L....so yeah
Is the roi for CU worth it?
- Brand tag/value/alumini network, do these help you guys in off campus placements? How is the overall off campus scenario ?
Please guys, I'm in a pretty dire situation here it would be great if someone could answer some of these questions 😭😭😭😭😭🙂
