Fees and Financial Aid

I am currently pursuing B. Tech in AI & ML from I. K. Gujral Punjab Technical University, Jalandhar The fee structure for my course is Rs. 1,00,000 but it incresed slightly to R. 1,12,000 inculdes 86,000 a tution fees and rest as other charges as such as registration fees , exam fees, SRF, URF, etc. There is also a Tution Fee Waiver scheme (TFW), where only university charges are applicable , around 9,700 per semester, as tution fee is completely waived. SC/ST students of Home state (Punjab) benefit from POst Matric Scholarship (PMS), under which their entire tution and university charges are reimbursed by the government, essentially making the course free for them. As for Scholarships, the university offers several opportunities for financial aid. The Merit-Cum-Means Scholarship is available for students with good academic performance and family income below a certain threshold, providing Rs. 15,000 to Rs. 30,000 per semester. There is also Freeship scheme for orphans, single-parent students, and those with family income below Rs. 2,50,000, covering full tution fees. Overall, IKGPTU provides solid support in terms of structured fee planning and financial aid, ensuring that deserving students are not deprived of quality education due to financial constraints.

Campus life is vibrant with fests like Technoquest and Anugoonj held annually. Library is well-stocked. Classrooms have smart boards. Clubs like BIC, IIC, NCC, NSS boost skills. Sports events are active and also have a annual athletic meet every year.

Hostel Facilities

4

Hostel Rooms are shared with basic amenities and Wi-Fi. Mess food is average with a fixed menu but you can ask for simple food if you are sick. hostel registrations are simple and affordable. Some prefer PGs near Kapurthala Chowk for more freedom.

Admission

I chose IKGPTU for its strong AI/ML curriculum and placement and also it is nearer to my home. I applied to the University of Delhi but won't took the couse their becouse they were offering a 3-year course. IKGPTU admissions were smooth based on JEE Mains score.

Faculty

The faculty to student ratio is excellent and balanced, promoting good interaction. Professors are approachable, especially, in AI & ML. Faculty like Dr. Satvir Singh are excellent due to their expertise. Some professors lak engagement. Exams are frequent, moderate difficulty, with fewer failures. The curriculum is relevent.

Interview Experience

5

For My course of B. Tech no such interview was taken or a written test asIwas selcted o the criteria of JEE Mains result. There only two ways of getting selected one from the result of JEE mains and other on the smerits of marks of 12th class.

Night Life

5

Nightlife is calm but enjoyable. Cafeteria and library close by 7 PM, Girls hostel has curfew after 8 PM but Boys Hostel has no Curfew timings at all. Popular hangout spots include campus lawns,and nearby cafes on the side of highway. The area is safe at night.

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.

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.
