A Pracital and honest review of life at parul university
Likes
- The campus is well maintained with good vibes. Infrastructure is decent, and there are regular events, clubs, and activities. Campus life feels active and enjoyable, and there is enough freedom inside the campus to explore interests and socialize.
- Most faculty members are chill and approachable. While not all are great, some teachers are knowledgeable and helpful when students show interest. Hostel life is decent, and the diverse crowd from different regions adds to the learning experience.
- The fees are relatively low compared to many private universities. The campus has students from both North and South India, which helps with exposure. Personal and professional growth largely depends on the circle you choose and the effort you put in.
Dislikes
- Placements involve heavy internal filtering. In CSE, with thousands of students across divisions, the filtering starts after the second year. Only the top 50–100 students get good placements, around 200–250 get placed overall, and many students are left without proper opportunities.
- Teaching quality is inconsistent. Some faculty teach well and explain concepts clearly, but many rely heavily on PPTs and outdated methods, which limits practical and industry-relevant learning.
- Management is one of the weaker areas. For approvals, documents, or permissions, students often have to follow up multiple times, which can be frustrating and time-consuming.
Remarks :
I chose this college mainly because it was a practical option for me. I had applied to government colleges, but the cut-offs for the General category were quite high, so I couldn’t get into the better ones. Some local government colleges were available, but they didn’t offer good exposure or campus life. I had also considered private colleges like Nirma and DA-IICT, but their cut-offs were much higher than my rank. Compared to other private colleges, this college had affordable fees, a big campus, and was closer to my home, which made sense at that time. The admission process was simple and merit-based. I got admission through ACPC, and there were no GD, interviews, or written tests conducted by the college. Exams like GUJCET/JEE Main and board marks were considered as per ACPC rules. The cut-offs were moderate and manageable. Since there was no GD or interview round, I didn’t need any special preparation apart from the entrance exams and completing the admission formalities.
Course Curriculum Overview :
I chose B.Tech in CSE because I was interested in the tech and software field and wanted a course that gives flexibility for different career paths in the future. The course curriculum is average and mostly theory-based, especially in the first few semesters. Core subjects are covered properly, but industry relevance is limited in regular classes. Practical exposure mainly comes through self-learning, projects, or optional training programs rather than the syllabus itself. Academics are manageable, but students need to put in extra effort to become industry-ready. Most faculty members are academically qualified, with master’s degrees and some having PhDs. Teaching methods vary a lot. Some faculty teach well and try to explain concepts, but many rely heavily on PPT-based teaching with limited interaction. Faculty involved in trainings are usually more practical and approachable compared to regular theory faculty.
Internships Opportunities :
Internship opportunities are there, but most of them come through third-party training or internship partners rather than direct tie-ups with core companies. A lot of students, including me, end up doing training-based internships. These are usually in areas like web development, software development, data analytics, testing, or basic IT roles. Most college-facilitated internships are unpaid or offer very low stipends. Stipend-based ones are limited and usually go to students who perform well during training programs. The roles are generally developer intern, software trainee, or analyst intern, and the companies are mostly skill platforms or training organizations, not big product-based firms. The work involved is mostly basic and guided. Things like simple web apps, CRUD projects, frontend or backend modules, basic data analysis tasks, or mentor-led assignments. It helps with fundamentals and some hands-on exposure, but it’s not fully industry-level work.
Placement Experience :
Placements and internships here are average and pretty competitive, mainly because the student intake is huge. Campus placements do happen, usually starting from the 7th semester, but there’s internal filtering based on academics, attendance, aptitude tests, and basic technical skills. So not everyone gets the same exposure or chances. Most companies that come are mass recruiters or service-based firms. Roles are usually SWE trainee, developer trainee, testing, or support roles. The average package is around 3–4 LPA, and higher packages are rare and mostly go to a small group of top students. Roughly 200–250 students get placed. Internships are mostly through third-party training partners and are often unpaid or low stipend, which is why many students prefer finding internships off-campus. Self-learning, projects, certifications, and external platforms matter a lot more.
Loan/ Scholarship Provisions :
I am pursuing B.Tech in CSE at Parul University, which is a 4-year course. I got admission through ACPC in the General category. My yearly tuition fee is ?1,37,800, and once admission is done, this fee stays the same for all four years. Even though the university increases fees for new batches, our batch fee is locked. So the total academic fee for the full course comes to around ?5.5 lakh. This yearly fee includes everything exept hostel fee, also for hostel, a ?5,000 refundable deposit is taken. For other categories, SEBC students get government scholarships of around ?48k per year. Students under the TFW scheme get full tuition fee waiver, excluding hostel charges. Management quota students pay an extra ?10k during admission, which gets adjusted later. Hostel fees are separate and increase every year. Overall, fees are reasonable for a private university, mainly because tuition remains fixed.
Campus Life :
Life at campus is quite active and mostly happens inside the university since it is a large residential campus. Social life is decent, especially if you stay in the hostel. Students usually hang out at food courts, open areas, and common spaces. The crowd is diverse, with students coming from different parts of India, so exposure is good. Your campus life mainly depends on your friend circle and how involved you are. The university organizes a major annual cultural fest, usually held around January–February, along with technical fests, hackathons, and department-level events spread throughout the year. Festivals like Navratri and other cultural events are also celebrated on campus on a large scale. Overall, campus life is lively, and the infrastructure supports both academics and extracurricular activities reasonably well.
Hostel Facilities :
I stay in the university hostel since Parul University is huge and a bit far from the city, so hostel life is the most convenient option. The hostel infrastructure is basic but manageable. Rooms come in different sharing options like 8, 4, and 3 sharing. I’m in an 8-sharing room, and everyone gets a bed, table, and chair. Wi-Fi works well, electricity and water are mostly stable, though some hostels have hot water issues in winter. Cleaning and laundry facilities are available and decent. The mess is honestly one of the weaker parts. Food is completely vegetarian with a fixed menu, but the taste and quality aren’t great. Hygiene is average, so many students eat from campus food courts instead of relying fully on the mess. Hostel registration is simple. You fill out a form, pay a ?5,000 refundable deposit, and part of the fees. I paid around ?78,000 in the first year, but now it’s closer to ?90,000 per year depending on room type, which feels a bit high for the facilities.
