- 5% fee waiver in the first year where a sibling is already studying at the university, subject to proof of relation
Ques. Can a diploma holder join engineering directly in the second year at Sharda University?
Ans. Yes. Holding a diploma degree opens the door to direct second year entry. A transfer from another university with good marks is equally workable, provided the guidelines fixed for that particular course are met.
Ques. Who becomes eligible for a fee waiver at the university?
Ans. Eligibility opens up once a candidate has cleared SUAT along with the Personal Interview. From there, the amount of the waiver depends on academic credentials and on achievements in sporting and cultural fields, and it can run from a partial concession to a full waiver of tuition fees. Entrance rank based awards, sports awards, defence family concessions and sibling concessions are all part of the list.
Ques. How is the SUAT paper structured?
Ans. The test runs for 90 minutes and is split into two separate categories:
- Technical: covers BTech level Physics, Chemistry, Maths or Bio and Languages.
- Non-Technical: built on problem solving, analytical skills and language proficiency.
Sample papers can be downloaded from the university website by anyone who wants them.
Ques. What kind of pay do CSE graduates take home from campus placements?
Ans. Packages begin in the range of 3-5 Lakhs and rise to a highest offer of 12 lakh. Recruiters visiting the campus include several Fortune 500 names such as Amazon, Cognizant, Cafe Coffee Day and Yes Bank.
Ques. Are any programmes run through distance mode here?
Ans. No, distance education is not part of the current offering. All 216 courses run by the university are delivered as regular classroom programmes.
Ques. Do overseas students receive health cover on campus?
Ans. Yes. Every international student falls under a Group Mediclaim Policy, which works on a cashless basis and takes care of hospitalisation expenses at all the major hospitals named in the policy. The International Relations Division shares the full details of the policy on request.
Ques. How does selection work for the BBA programme?
Ans. The route to a BBA seat runs as follows:
- Sit for the Sharda University Admission Test (SUAT), which is a straightforward aptitude test drawn from subjects studied in the 10th and 12th standard.
- Qualifying candidates are then called for an interview.
- A minimum of 60% marks in the 12th standard is the eligibility requirement.
- International applicants are exempt from SUAT. They submit their credentials instead, and admission follows once the eligibility criteria are found to be met.
Ques. Does the admission office work over the weekend?
Ans. No, admission work does not happen on Saturdays or Sundays. On weekdays the university can be reached through the helpline number published on its official webpage.
Ques. How active is the programming environment on campus?
Ans. Since the university is known for its engineering courses, considerable effort goes into strengthening them further. Computer Science related streams cover a range of programming languages together with hands-on coding in each of them, and the university regularly organises coding events and workshops for interested students. For anyone whose aim is to learn coding and multiple programming languages, CSE and the allied computer science fields here are a sound choice.
Ques. Are students from open boards such as NIOS considered for admission?
Ans. Yes, they are. NIOS carries affiliation with the Ministry of Human Resources in the same way as CBSE, ICSE, ISC and the state boards, and the qualification is recognised by foreign universities as well. No distinction is drawn against such applicants, though selection still rests on the entrance examinations and the interview.
