Chandigarh University Counsellor Reviews

Likes

Can communicate with different students from different parts of country

Dislikes

In admission season we have to work 7 days a week. And so much pressure for meeting target, threatening to fire from job. Without proper communication suddenly fire people actually they don't fire, they will say employees to put resignation paper. And will use marketing team for taking admission also use admission counselors for marketing jobs.. Like no other companies do that. Period

Hardwork rewarded with more work. Authorities lacks basic skills of professional communication. Verbal abuse is common. The university will call you to work most of the time even on your days off.

I love the campus, it's just so beautiful that the walk back from work erases every single stressful moment from the day. The faculty is helpful, the staff right upto the security guards is so helpful that you won't ever feel lost. Salary is always on time and HR dept is cooperative too.

Working as a Content Creator at Chandigarh University has been a dynamic and enriching experience. The university provides a collaborative and creative environment, allowing me to explore innovative content strategies. The management is supportive, and there's always an opportunity to learn and grow. One of the best aspects is the freedom to experiment with different content formats, from academic materials to digital marketing campaigns. The workload is manageable, and the university encourages a work-life balance. However, like any organization, there are challenges—meeting tight deadlines and aligning content with evolving university goals can be demanding....Read More

One of the worst universities. The work culture is toxic. Too much politics. Higher authorities too self obsessed. They lack the vision. People are hired and fired on the whims and fancies. Two to three individuals are running the show. The VC is a joker, the PVCs have no say. They are retired persons who are being used as rubberstamps. Employees are abused and treated as if they are not humans...Read More

Dislikes

There is no job security. A day prior the chancellor will be all praise for you and the next day you will be told to leave the organisation. The HR head is into politics and is always trying to grab the power in all the departments. The departmental heads also are afraid of the HR head and go all out to please him. The HR head himself is having an affair with a former acting HOD of one of the departments. That lady is now working in the examination department after her colleagues refused to work with her. The work culture is very toxic and even those in position of authority are made to feel small and unworthy. They do not do due diligence while hiring the staff and later they simply fire people....Read More

One of the most significant issues is the lack of clarity and communication from higher management. Decisions often seem arbitrary, with little to no explanation provided to the teams expected to implement them. This creates confusion, delays, and inefficiencies in achieving goals. There is also a noticeable lack of accountability among leadership, with a tendency to delegate responsibilities without proper guidance or follow-through. This can make employees feel undervalued and disconnected from the institution's broader vision. Moreover, the hierarchical structure can sometimes hinder innovation, as approvals and feedback loops are slow, leading to missed opportunities and reduced morale. Lastly, the absence of transparent policies and structured career growth plans leaves employees uncertain about their future within the institution, affecting motivation and retention....Read More

Dislikes

1. Lack of Clarity from Higher Management: Decisions often come without proper explanation or rationale, leaving employees scrambling to interpret and implement them. This lack of transparency creates confusion and frustration among teams. 2. Bureaucracy and Micromanagement: The overly hierarchical system slows down processes, with approvals taking far too long. Additionally, micromanagement stifles creativity and undermines employee autonomy. 3. Poor Communication: There’s an evident gap in communication between departments and leadership. Important updates are either delayed or unclear, leading to inefficiencies and missed deadlines. 4. No Career Growth Path: There’s little emphasis on employee development or career progression. Training programs and opportunities for growth are virtually non-existent, making long-term engagement challenging. 5. Toxic Work Culture: Favoritism and internal politics often overshadow merit, leading to a demoralized workforce. Employee concerns are frequently ignored, fostering a culture of indifference and dissatisfaction. 6. Work-Life Imbalance: Unrealistic expectations and lack of structured planning lead to overburdened employees, with no regard for maintaining a healthy work-life balance. 7. Resource Mismanagement: Budgetary allocations and resources are often wasted on superficial initiatives rather than addressing core needs like infrastructure improvement or staff support....Read More

Everything. A person of associate director level abused me several times but no hearing at the management level. The VC (March 2024 - August 2024) himself abused me in front of the whole teaching staff. There is no one to hear of the pain of the employee who are outsiders. It's all a mess. Just a few local peoples' Gundagardi.Dangerous place. Stay away from this place. Most important, they buy good reviews on social media platform....Read More

Nothing. The employee who are writing "professional work culture, etc." in their reviews, the understanding of professionalism might be something different for them. It's a place with a highly unprofessional work culture. All local gundagardi.

Dislikes

It is a highly local place with a local work culture. Zero diversity. Only focus on getting rankings and admissions. Highly biased towards skilled people from outside of the Punjab region. It's all Gunda raaj. No voice for outside people. You feel lonely and unsafe all the time. Top personnel like VC himself are engaged in plantingagainst their team members. Zero job security. Zero self-respect. Dangerous place....Read More
