Alright I think I can answer you best as I am currently in Chandigarh University. Its all a worst university for engineering. CU is much more than that. chandigarh university is all less than any other University. Yes this University is new but in some cases it is worst than many OLD universities in terms of placements.
CU offers every fraud possible way to excel their student. If you have little zeal to fraud more and cheat more. Then CU may be the best option for you And about the workshops and professional summer courses they are not organised time to time. The kind of extra activities, workshops or skill development programs not organized in the university . Even Google, Microsoft, IBM and so many reputed company not comes here. Placement record of the University is too worst.
