I choose the PTU University because of it's placement in internship record it had in last few years it had the best placement record of 75% to 85% out of 100%. So that's why I choose PTU University over other universities because they don't provide that much kind of placements in their campuses.

1.i didn't apply for any other college I dint search much college 2. No I didn't got any rejection from any other college 3. The college admission process is simple. We need to bring the documents and summit the registration fees
Main reason is campus placement, the other colleges i applied have 30-40 companies which averagely comes for campus placement, but in CGC Jhanjeri , there are minimum to minimum 150 companie's interview has been scheduled in campus placement
Actually I explored the college near to my home but the study in that college is not much good as expected, as my elders suggested me to join this university for better future Admision process is nothing at all , only to apply form

Punjab Technical University or PTU was established by an Act of the State Legislature on 16th January 1997. The primary purpose was to promote technical, management, and pharmaceutical education in the state at degree level and above. Initially, it was established as Punjab Technical University and later renamed as I.K.Gujral Punjab Technical University by the State Government in honor of Late Sh. Inder Kumar Gujral, Former Prime Minister of India, in 2015.
The University has set up many centers of excellence for promoting training, research, and development in these areas. The university offers a number of courses in different streams regular as well as distance education courses.
So, PTU is a government-based University and not a private engineering college.
You have to fill in the Application for duplicate DMC in PTU and attach the following documents
Duplicate Degree Certificate/DMC(s) will be issued within 07 days of getting the prescribed form and fee.
One of my friends in PTU struggled for around 2 years to get the result and mark sheets of his BCA degree. Sharing his experience, he told me that getting a mark sheet for a regular course was easier than for a Distance one. The institute does not offer the distance course anymore and the ex-students find it very difficult to procure the transcripts. Here are two ways you can try if you are stuck in a similar situation
Hope this helps you!
You can definitely leave your college after the first year of B.Tech.
You can also migrate to another PTU college. But there are some conditions for that. One of them is that you must have cleared all your subjects in the first year. I would recommend you consult your college staff for details on the migration process. Additionally, do visit the official PTU website for rules and regulations on migration.
It’s quite difficult to get a transfer from PTU to Chandigarh University. If you want to take admission to Chandigarh University then, you might have to cancel your admission first and then apply there.
Both PTU and Chandigarh University are independent universities and there is no link between them. Also, Chandigarh University is not even affiliated with PTU, so joining in the 2nd year is not possible.
But in case you're a diploma student then you can join in the 2nd year of Engineering. However, if you wish, you can sit for the first year again.
Lateral entry is not applicable for government engineering colleges that follow the JAC Delhi admission process. So NSUT does not allow lateral entry for any of the B.Tech branches, including Civil.
On the other hand, PTU has the provision of lateral entry into Civil Engineering. But the requirement for the same is a polytechnic diploma in Civil.
It is absolutely fine, given that you did both your grad and post grad from PTU. The process of WES evaluation has changed for PTU. You can no longer send the documents on your own. Only the university can send your transcripts.
Yes, you can migrate even with a supply at PTU. For this, you need to get an NOC from your college. This is the most important task. After that, you need to file a migration request at PTU. You’ll be charged around Rs. 10,000. After this process, you can migrate to your new college.
