What Students Say

Likes

The teaching staff possess good knowledge of their respective fields.
The library is pretty big and contains numerous books and is one of the best aspects of our university.
The hostel environment is good and I haven't experienced any bullying or something of that sort.

Dislikes

On-campus placements isn't a very good aspect of our university.
The higher authority interferes in making student unions.
The sports environment is not upto mark and needs an improvement.

Course Curriculum Overview

3.5

The fees of the course i have chosen is affordable and also this course has a great future ahead. as we know the coming years are all about technology and computers so the course offers a great opportunity for me to face real world applications. The course curriculum is already made to benefit the students and i don't find any issues with teaching methods. Two mid semester exams and end semester exam is conducted in a semester with a moderate difficulty level .

Class Size: 60Course Fees: INR 93000 per year

Placement Experience

It is from the 7th semester that the students become eligible for campus placements. But still I'd argue that the campus placements are not that good. The average salary is around 4.5 lakhs and the highest placement offered was around 20 lakhs. I am not aware of the percentage of student getting placements.

Fees and Financial Aid

Tution fees doesn't increase that frequently. The complete cost of the course is 371,600 including exams fees. Financials aids are provided to students via Tution fee waiver scheme and also via 10 plus 2 merit. I am studying in the campus yet and have not undertaken campus employment.

Campus Life

Different technical events are conducted throughout the year. Many cultural fests and hackathons are also organised. A wide range of books and journals are available in the library and the library is pretty good. The campus consists of many smart classes. Different sports and sports events are also organised. Some third-year students run a coding club that goes by the name Bizarre Coders and also our campus also has a google developer social club.

Hostel Facilities

3.5

The campus consists of three boys and two girls hostels. The hostel room is a bit congested for two people but still hostel is pretty well maintained. The hostel mess serves healthy food, and the menu is well organised. People may not find the food taste good but still the mess is hygienic. The hostels are pretty affordable and all the hostel are within the university campus.

Hostel Fee: INR 25000 per year

Admission

The basic eligibility for the Btech CSE course as per 2023 is a good score in your respective 12th board exam. One can get the application form and all the regarding details on the official site of IKGPTU Main Campus website. The Punjab quota is about 85% and 15% for the other states students. Two mid semester exams and an end semester are conducted in a single semester of 6 months with a moderate difficulty. The admission process is pretty easy and doesn't need any improvement.

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.
