What Students Say

Likes

Greenery in College, the campus is lavishly green , good in autumn and spring season.
1st year hostel - twin tower building with 7 floors with lifts.
Faculty of electrical engineering is better than other branches, very supportive.

Dislikes

Mess food , the quality is poor and sometimes extra bill even if you don't eat all the day meals.
College infrastructure is very old , not renewing for past 50 years.
No bus Stop at the college, students have to walk or take auto.

Course Curriculum Overview

3.5

I choose Electrical Engineering here because my uncle was an alumnus here 92 batch. The college is popular for its core branches - civil, electrical, and mechanical. The faculty of my branch is above average, the old faculty members have good knowledge, but the new ones are not good in theoretical as well as practical knowledge. Qualification of facilities is MTech. And some have Ph.D. as well. The method of teaching is very old, read and teach from books. No visual or presentation method here. There are 2 Mid-semester tests (MSTs) and then 1 end-semester exam.

Class Size: 100Course Fees: INR 120000 per year

Internships Opportunities

1.5

Internships are only there during placement time i.e. in last year only. Very few students are doing internships because of a lack of knowledge in both faculty and students. Some students themselves opt for internships off campus.

Placement Experience

2.5

In the last year i.e. 7th and 8th semester, you are eligible for campus placement. Eligibility is that you must not have any supply in any semester, and must have cleared all semesters. Companies give an average package of 4lpa, and only 2 3 companies give more than 7 LPA. Only Computer science and IT companies are good for placement. Very less core branches companies came, the company for core branches offers only 3 -4 LPA. Percentage of placement - 30% of students of total strength. My plan after my degree is to get prepared for govt job preparation.

Fees and Financial Aid

Fees here are nominal- Per semester fees are around 50000, and with the hostel- 65000 + mess bills are extra. Fee hikes are around 5% every year. Scholarships are - Fee waiver, SC/ST Quota, and every semester there are scholarships from alumni. No job opportunities in college.

Campus Life

4.5

The campus has an annual fest, where they bring singers like Sartaj, Tarsem Nassar, Ranjit Bawa, etc. It's around Feb or March. Tech Fest is also there, but I don't know much about it. There is a huge library, and every book of each semester is available in every branch. Other books are also there for book readers.

Hostel Facilities

There are 4 hostels in total, the 1st one is for 1st year, it is good, have separate washrooms and toilet. The 2nd one is for the 2nd year, it is less good than the 1st one. The 3rd one is for both 3rd and 4th years, it is like quarters, not good. 4th one is for girls, I don't know about that.

Hostel Fee: INR 50000 per year

Admission

Eligibility of the course was either on JEE MAINS or 12th standard percentage basis. Application forms, fees, and other admission dates are on the college website- gndec.ac.in Reservation benefits are for rural area students, and also for SC/ST students, and for Gill village students. The improvement I want to see - they can have their own exam for admission for better cut-off students.

Likes

The infrastructure is great with state of the art labs and equipment
The library is really nice place to study
Lots of hangout spots in and around campus

Dislikes

Less opportunities for core branches as less core companies visit campus
75 percent attendance policy for classes
Very high fees compared to other colleges

Placement Experience:

Companies start coming summer internships in the 5th and 6th semester though ,CG cuts are imposed so very less students are elgible to sit for these companies, The real placement season is 7th and 8th semester and many companies visit campus for placements. around 60 percent students got placed in the recent placement drive. The major recruiters are: Oracle, CISCO, JPMC,Deloite,IBM,ZS etc.

Life at CGC Landran

Likes

Infrastructure, most teacher behaviour, friendly students
Environment , cleanliness, colleagues etc
Course, Locality, Faculty, Management etc

Dislikes

Some high teacher behaviour, also that of professor
Frequent demand of money as fees n hostel charge
Gym is provided but only for name, no fame , always full

Course Curriculum Overview:

I’d rate the curriculum like 7/10 in terms of relevance and comprehensiveness — it covers all the major CSE subjects like DSA, OS, DBMS, CN, AI, ML, Cloud, Cybersecurity basics, etc., and honestly that was one of the reasons I chose this course because at least the core subjects are solid even if PTU keeps some old-school stuff in the syllabus. The curriculum does prepare you for real-world stuff, but only to a point — like, if you focus on coding labs and projects you’ll be fine for internships, but if you depend only on classroom theory then it won’t help much because industry wants hands-on skills. For higher studies also it’s okay because theory depth in subjects like OS and DBMS is decent enough. But yeah, improvements are definitely needed — some subjects feel outdated, teachers should use more practical examples, and we need more real projects instead of copy-paste lab manuals; also some faculty teach directly from slides which gets boring fast. Exams come twice per semester (sessionals) plus the final end-sem around December/May; they’re mostly easy if you write long answers, but tricky if you rely only on understanding because PTU likes theory-heavy questions. Overall, the system works, but it could be way more practical and industry-focused.

Good infrastructure, campus and faculty. Have to improve placements and industrial visits.

Likes

The campus is very green and clean. Infrastructure is good and one can feel fresh air here in campus
The faculty is excellent, almost all of the professors and assistant professors have a degree from renowned institutes. So they know their subject and field very well.
Hostels are good and affordable. Although the hostels itself are old, services are good and you get a nice room for the price/rent

Dislikes

The crowd isn't good. Always demotivated to do anything productive regarding studies. Some people are just here for time-pass
Very less site and outdoor visits. For practical experience, they should conduct industrial visits, but that happens rarely
Placements are really Dry and there is decline in company visits for placement.

Placement Experience:

Placements are not that good. Although companies come, there is a lack of mass recruiters or reputed organizations. One has to grind hard here for placements. If you're a CS student, you will have to face immense competition here. As for core branches, placements are severely dry. Students gets eligible in 4th year onwards for placements. Some of recruiters here are Trident, TCS, Reliance, Sonalika and other few. Every company offers around 10-15 selected students for a job. Highest package ever was 15LPA and average is 3.2LPA. Percentage placed is only around 15% here. My plans after the degree are to apply for govt exams.

Review about my college

For taking admission in this college you can take admission on the basis of your board exam marks. You can get admission if you have minimum 40% marks in your board exam as well. For taking admission in CSE or IT branch you should have atleast 85% or more marks scored in your board exam. If you are from home state you might get reservation benefit. In this college 85% seats are reserved for home state students and rest 15% for other students as well as for home state. Previosly this college was taking admission on the basis of you JEE rank but after it changes it admission policies and now it is taking on the basis of 12 boards marks only....Read More
