What makes CU the best University in North India?

Established in 2012, Chandigarh University has been redefining higher education with its modern learning initiatives and industry-aligned programs. Emphasizing research and technology into its programs, CU has earned various accolades, recognitions, awards and milestones in a short period. From filing the highest number of patents to winning national & international competitions, know what makes Chandigarh University the best University in North India.

CU has been constantly ranked among the top institutes of Punjab for academic excellence, innovative pedagogy, research, and placements.

One of the few higher education institutions to attain A+ Grade accreditation, Chandigarh University secured the grade in the first evaluation cycle itself. The leading institution amongst NAAC A+ accredited colleges in North India CU is also the first private state university to be accredited by the council.


2.QS I-GAUGE: Chandigarh University has persistently justified the titles bestowed upon the varsity by earning new achievements and accolades. Apart from its significantly well performance in the Best College/University Rankings by esteemed organizations such as The Week, India today, Chandigarh University has also received the Diamond’ Rating from QS I-Guage Ratings.

3.Placements: Awarded as the “University with Best Placements” by WCRC, Chandigarh University has once again proved the varsity’s mettle in campus placements with exceptional performance during the COVID-19. When COVID-19 caused uncertainties about the future, CU ensured top-notch placements with virtual placement drive hosting 757 companies, which extended 7412+ Placement Offers to CU students. 

Major global companies such as IBM, Google, Deloitte, Amazon, Arcesium, Microsoft Flipkart, Earnest Young, Bank of America, VIVO, ICICI Danone Foods, KPMG, etc top recruiters, the highest package received was ₹ 36 LPA.

4.Technology
: Technology is one of the key aspects of modern-day education. With state-of-the-art infrastructure facilities & technology incorporated into every corner of the campus, CU has positively invested in Information Technology with an annual IT budget of Rs 11 Crore.

5.Industry-aligned Programs: There is an old joke about the professional world where an employer or company demands for a freshman to have multi-year experience before joining their first job. One of the prime reasons for this is the pace at which the modern-age industry is evolving. Persistently involved in recruiting raw and upcoming talent, the employers tend to look out for experienced individuals to keep up their momentum and boost their progress, which may or may not be the same with the joining of a freshman. 

Thus, the task of overcoming this bridge between the students and the employer shifts towards the educational institutions, their curricula and on-campus activities. Chandigarh University incorporates industry patronage and training on many accounts with industry-sponsored labs on campus such as Microsoft Innovation Center, Microsoft - Global Technical Support Center (GTSC), IBM Software Lab For Emerging Technologies, Oracle Academy Lab, Unisys Innovation Labs, EMC² Academic Alliance.
