Life at GNDEC Ludhiana

Fees and Financial Aid:

So for the past two years of my being a student, there hasn't been any such questionable hike in the fee and cost to study. In a very decent amount we are being provided good condition lab equipment, smart classes, AC labs and other than this there is just a little charge of heavy electric appliances if used in the hostel. The college provides with various scholarships like scholarships for gursikh students, scholarships for SC/ST students and Alumni scholarships. The on-campus placements are quite appreciable as the college offers a good internship and job opportunity with a basic stipend of 10000-12000 and a basic CTC of 4.5LPA. Many renowned companies have visited the college for hiring freshers and last year the estimated count was about 800 placements.
