Mayank Gupta's Review On Guru Nanak Dev University - [GNDU], Amritsar

It's a government university and it was the only government institute where I could get B. Tech(CSE) with 69 JEE score. I wished to pursue Computer Sciences only. I had options of some private institutes but I opted for the government one.

The syllabus is Ok. The faculty is very helpful. They will help you with all your problems and most importantly your problems are not ignored. You may not get enough industrial exposure. But the syllabus could have been better. More competitive concepts could be included.

TCS does mass recruitment from my program. Apart from it, many more companies visit the campus, and the maximum package till now is 15 lakhs (MBA). The placement department is average only. Our department did not have an Entrepreneur Cell but few years one of the students developed his own OS.

JASHAN is the 3 days long annual fest of the university where all departments compete in various events. Apart from it, various departments organize fests on their behalf like my dept organizes Polaris-Tech Fest. University organizes many national level sports events and last year it also organized Inter-University Youth Festival in which all colleges and universities of North India took part.

Infrastructure is really great. Have indoor sports stadium, gym, professional cycling track, lots of greenery, wifi for hostel students, a very big library where you will get the book for every subject with a capacity of around 600-700 students, and maintained labs.

In the first year, you get 4 sharing rooms and from the second year, you get 2 sharing rooms. Rooms are good they may appear small at first but they are really sufficient as they are alloted. Mess food is average. If you may not get a hostel there are a lot of PGs in front of the university.
