Have a question related to Chandigarh University ?

Hello there ,
I would suggest you to go for Chandigarh university for aerospace engineering as it is having a dedicated space for that stream where as in IPU this stream is new as well as not available in good colleges of IPU like MAIT , MSIT etc.
Hence it would be more appropriate for you to do your desired stream from Chandigarh university.

Hello,


Chandigarh University is the best University and it is much better than Chitkara. It is NAAC A+ Accredited University. Chandigarh University has professional tie-ups with many top professional National and International Universities to offer best learning experience in India.

It is one of the best universities in India and they also offer great placement opportunities. A large number of companies visit here such as Infosys, TCS, Wipro, Amazon, Adobe, Byju's and Microsoft. The highest salary package offered is 28 LPA and the average salary package offered is 7 LPA.


I hope this helps,


All the best

I scored 172 in bitsat and 14110 rank in srmjee phase 2 can i expect something also i have option of vit bhopal and Chandigarh university what should i go for?

Hello Aspirant,

With a BITSAT score of 172 and SRMJEEE Phase 2 rank of 14,110, securing top branches like CSE at BITS Pilani, Goa, or Hyderabad is unlikely, as their cutoffs are much higher (around 240–270+ for lesser-known branches). Similarly, SRM KTR campus for CSE closes within ~2,000–5,000 rank, so core branches at SRM KTR may not be possible, but Ramapuram or Vadapalani campuses might offer CSE or allied branches.

Now, comparing your other two options:

VIT Bhopal vs. Chandigarh University (CU):

  1. VIT Bhopal

    • Part of the reputed VIT group.

    • Newer campus but decent infrastructure.

    • Better academic reputation than CU.

    • Good placements mainly for CSE/IT streams.

  2. Chandigarh University (CU):

    • Known for aggressive placement marketing.

    • Good exposure, foreign tie-ups, and more affordable for North Indian students.

    • Decent placement packages for CSE/AI/ML, but mass placements are often on the lower side.

Which Should You Choose?

If you get CSE or CSE-related branches at VIT Bhopal then you take admission at VIT Bhopal.
If not, Chandigarh University is a decent alternative, especially if you’re from North India and want affordability and exposure.

All the best for your admission process.
