What Students Say

Likes

Enhancement of skills like marketing and communication
Appropriate study scheme in every branch
Study according to latest trends in engineering and new technology

Dislikes

Less interaction of newly admitted students to their core branches
Monetary support could be more in projects if required
There is very less interaction with students who couldn't find their enthusiasmic fields

Course Curriculum Overview

The subjects in the curriculum are appropriate starting with basic subjects for every branch in first year then the core subjects for particular branch. It slowly graduates towards deep topics and then specialization subjects. The teaching is far better than many private colleges and even some government colleges.There isn't as such improvement but the teachers may look into the students results and help them improve and focus.

Class Size: 120Course Fees: INR 95000 per year

Placement Experience

3.5

Students become eligible for placements in 7th semester, there are many companies like Mahindra, Tata, Infosys etc that offer internships and placements. The highest package went to 20 LPA and average is 6 LPA. Around 90% of the students get placed from every batch. However my plans are to pursue Masters in Automotive Engineering after this degree.

Fees and Financial Aid

Tuition fees is very reasonable even for non fee waiver students. The total amount all over the degree is even less than fees per year in many colleges. There are many scholarships like an exam based on High school subjects which provides scholarship. Which gives around 50% of fees.

Campus Life

4.5

There are many fests which are organised by students themselves by the help of sponsorships and college funds. Like Anand Utsav, Apex Inter School Competition, Acme Inter college etc. Library has around every book under the courses with many different authors. There are many research papers and thesis available. Classrooms are decent and the labs have all facilities and infrastructure available. The extra curricular activities are really good and there's a large sports complex. There are various societies run by students like Causmic club, Society of Automotive Engineers, NSS, etc.

Admission

The eligibility was based on High School score and application form was on college website. After few days the college would call for admission process. There isn't any entrance exam however from next year they started to admit students on the basis of JEE score. The admission process is good but it needs to add a counselling round too as students may opt for wrong branch which maybe far from their interests.

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.

1) I only applies to Guru nanak dev engineering college ludhiana and Lovely professional university Phagwara . I chose Guru anank dev engineering college because of low fee as compared to LPU and also Guru annak dev engineering college is old as compared to LPU so it will have lesser alumni network. 2) No i didnt get rejected i just left that college. 3) Adimission process- simply apply from website of IKGPTU based on jee mains marks and 12th exam.

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
