Aerospace Engineering Alumni Success story

Chandigarh University is one of the leading and emerging universities not only in north India but in the whole country. When I joined Chandigarh University, I never thought that the University will give me so much in these four years. I completed my graduation as part of the maiden batch 2015-2019 of Aerospace Engineering. Currently, I am working as a Data Author with leading aircraft manufacturing company, Boeing Aerospace based in Chennai after successfully completing an internship with Lufthansa Cargo AG in Delhi. I sincerely thank and respectfully recollect Chandigarh University’s unique way of combining the process of learning the regular curriculum along with personal development. This ensures that the students are equipped with all the soft skills required to get into corporate and be successful without having to deal with a steep learning curve.

One of the most challenging areas of engineering, AerospaceEngineering deals with the development of new technology in the field of aviation, space and defense systems. Chandigarh University is one of the few universities in North India to offer this course. Though the department is young, it has attained a great height within very few span of time. The course structure of the department helped me to gain valuable knowledge and develop technical skills, which provided great support in the industry.

The curriculum of CU is so diverse that it helps to make us Industry ready. Additional training for soft skills and periodic personality development programs made me confident, strong and motivated. Also, the unique open elective lectures made me explore other subjects apart from aerospace engineering. Finally, I would like to suggest everyone that if you want to explore new elements and unleash your true potential then join Chandigarh University.

Alumni Success Story Big Data Analyst

Alumni, Chandigarh University

I belong to Jorhat, Assam where I was born and brought up till my graduation. I passed my Matriculation from Springdale High School, Jorhat and 10+2 from Maharishi Vidya Mandir, Jorhat followed by graduation in B.Sc(IT) from Jorhat Institute of Science & Technology.

I was always an average student with not so good marks in 10 and 10+2. Physics of 10+2 was like a nightmare to me and eventually, I didn’t opt for BTech because of Physics and Mathematics. However, I always had a deep interest in Computer Science, especially in Programming & Databases.

During my graduation days, I have taught a number of students and professionals about various subjects of Computer Science and used to build a lot of desktop based and web-applications which actually gave me a good hands-on in Programming.

After my graduation, I pursued M.Sc(IT) from a private university in Punjab but still felt the craving and had a passion to learn more. Also, the inner wish in me to be called as an Engineer led me into Chandigarh University where I got enrolled in Master of Engineering with specialization in Big Data & Analytics and fell into love with the Big Data ecosystem.

After the 1^st year, I got selected in the campus drive of Nokia Software R&D (it was my first campus drive experience) and worked as an Intern over there for almost 1.2 years. Currently, I’m working as a Software Consultant at Knoldus Inc., where I mainly work in the field of Big Data.

My life has been a roller coaster ride with lots of ups and downs, but I always believed, “Winners are not people who never fail, but people who never quit”.

Always believe in yourself and have the passion and zeal to achieve what to aspire in life. Life is not easy, still you need to fight back like a champ every time. Losing is not an option.

Alumni Success Story - Sumit Malik

 “Dreams are to be dreamt with open eyes”

Having being highly inclined towards sports since my childhood I had always dreamt of representing my country INDIA, in any Sports domain. In that desire, I had played district level football representing my school. But, due to some circumstances, I had to inculcate my priorities and drop my sports for a certain time frame and join ARCHITECTURE, thinking that could be a favorable future for me as my brother was from the same field so it was easy for me to get the hold to the profession. ARCHITECTURE was fun as it happened to me by choice and I persued playing football as my hobby; as an extracurricular.

But nevertheless, fate had decided something grand and happening for me, YES!! In 2014 I joined ChandigarhUniversity and 2015 was the year when CU recently had introduced AMERICAN FOOTBALL to the university. And when the team was being set our coach Mr. Guri luckily had seen me playing and offered me a place in the team.

That day 'the lightning strike my head and I thought of achieving all my dreams to represent INDIA in sports' And I thought that this is it, this is the chance to redeem me. And, I said yes!! 

But trust me the feeling was the mere opposite, I was happy but apart from that I knew It was going to be tough for me to be managing ARCHITECTURE and sports but being fierce I wanted to pursue my passion and so did I jumped into it without even thinking of what my hardships are going to pay me back.

So, it started with a straight YES !! and the training went on for 6 months and we won our 1^st SILVER MEDAL for our university in 2^nd ALL INDIA INTER-UNIVERSITY games 2015. So, it started off in 2015 to 2019, we were the champions in ALL INDIA -INTER UNIVERSITY GAMES AND OPEN NATIONAL GAMES.

So, In the short span of time, it was our team achieving the heights and now its time to build a National team to represent INDIA in CSIT  -  AMERICAN FOOTBALL WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP held from July 2-7th in SPAIN.

It was my hard work and dedication that brought as a team member defeating several across INDIA and is one of the part of those lucky 23 people of our team.

We eventually, succeeded in achieving SILVER MEDAL for our country in CSIT-AMERICAN FOOTBALL WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP.

It was a moment of relief for me, on the personal level of all the hard work and training and also sacrificing a lot of things, It was a moment of pride and happiness.

Not leaving behind ARCHITECTURE, today  I am a licensed Architect and had cleared the degree with flying colors.

I want to THANK a lot to CHANDIGARH UNIVERSITY for giving me such OPPORTUNITY, FACULTY STAFF of UIA for always understanding me and helped me throughout my 5 years of Degree in every aspect of life.

In last if it inspired you, I would like to say:

IF YOU REALLY WANT TO ACHIEVE SOMETHING, START IT TODAY WITHOUT EXCUSES RATHER WAIT FOR A BETTER TOMORROW.”
