Remarks

This was old and good for branches like electrical mechanical civil etc. Knowledge wises its very good. Infrastructure is also nice no pollution or traffic peace environment with greenery teachers are also very good here.

Course Curriculum Overview

my course is electrical eng. It's good here labs are well equipped. teachers also interact a lot for your career .every teacher is available here any time they share there whats app no. too for any query anytime except at midnight.

Class Size: 60Course Fees: INR 61000 per year

Placement Experience

2.5

From the 3rd semester, you are eligible for an internship. TCS, Infosys, Samsung etc are available here but if are taking admission here you should mainly focus on exams like gate etc. average package is 20k per month and the max is 1 lakh so it's not good. 50% are getting placed every year but mainly students are focused on sports or government exams. I want to run my startup but the primary focus is on gate exam and skill development.

Fees and Financial Aid

fee structure- tuition fees-approx 30k-40k, hostel fees-around 20k, mess fees - security money every sem-14 k approx, every month mess charge 3k, there are no certain scholarship criteria here unless or until you have sc/st certificate, placement is not good but if you are targeting gate or any other govt exams or you want something new then this is the best option.

Campus Life

campus life- sports- all sports available one is at the top in basketball in Punjab. all sports are here. 2 basketball court, 2 tennis court, one big cricket ground, one handball ground, kabbadi ground too, nets for cricketers, table tennis court, GYM with the latest equipment with fee=40rs, and a clubhouse for hostelers for daily newspapers and indoor games like table tennis chess etc. infrastructureis just amazing where ever you see its green and all green is a beauty to your eyes,

Hostel Facilities

3.5

there are 3 people in a room. with each given a study table a common washroom, and almirah to each .and you get a balcony too with it. ass you are in Punjab you will get butter everywhere breakfast- aloo paratha, brown bread, and other parathas with chai, coffee or milk as u wish. lunch-rice,omlet,pulses,vegetables etc. dinner-chapati ,2-vegetables,etc IF YOU WANT SOMETHING FOR YOU TO BE MADE YOU HAVE TO PAY EXTRA. registration process- go to gndec.ac.in.then apply there. its easy process any queries there is helpline numbers for different sections is given on the website for the hostel no extra registration required.

The university provides good exposure to technical courses, eventrs , clubs, and extracurricular activities.
The campus has good labs, a library, and facilities that support students academic development.

Dislikes

The fees are high and losing a scholarship due to cgpa requirements can create a significant financial burden.
More personalized mentorship and regular career guidance sessions would help student prepare for their future carees.
more internship opportunities would further improve students professional growth.

Course Curriculum Overview:

the CSE curriculum covers relevant subjects and provides a good foundation programming and computer science. It prepares students for futher studies and careers, through more industry-based projects and practical learning would be bemigficial. Exams include MSTs and ESTs, with a manageable difficulty level through regi;ar preparation.

Likes

college life of Chandigarh university is so good, all the events do happen .
teachers are so experienced and they are so supportive in here.
the placements in this university are great, all the big tech companies do visit while placements and provide jobs to the deserved students.

Dislikes

All the online courses should be reduced.
nothing is there in the university that is to dislike.
majority of the things are all good in our university.

Placement Experience:

The placemnets in the university starts from the 3 year only. companies comes in the 3rd year, students= can give interviews in this year, and they can get the NOC. wich means you can go for the job or the iinternship and there is no need to take the classes, because you are taking the indyustry level experience in the prior basis also.

during major events and peak hours the campus become crowded

A TOUR TO CGC LANDRAN

Likes

Events are more frequent here and most of the stars from punjabi industry are called more often for film promotions
No ragging is there infact seniors are friendly and try to help juniors
TPP (training and placement program) is provided that help students to crack placements

Dislikes

Attendance criteria (minimum 75 % is essential to maintain to be eligible to give exams)
Class timings are fixed from 9:15 to 4:35 and you can not enter in between 10 to 12:00 PM as gates are closed for this duration
Strength is rapidly increasing as new courses are introduced which increases competition during placements

Placement Experience:

Placements are decent, from 6th semester students become eligible for campus placement students need to enroll in TPP(Training and placement program) in order to get eligible for campus placement, Many companies visit our campus for eg Capgemini, LNT, ZSCALER, EDIFECS, AMAZON, PWC, WATCHGUARD TECHNOLOGIES etc overall above 200 offerrs are made to our senior batch with the highest package of 32LPA and average package of around 4.5LPA. more than 60% of students get placed . I am also sitting for campus placement and wish to get placed soon

College Life is Fun, Various activities and events happen in and around college, you got to know about others and crowd is also decent, Mostly Students are from northern regions that is Himachal Pradesh, Punjab, Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand .
Teachers are good and placement coordinators also help students to get good package on campus. a decent package can be bagged by a student if he/she seriously study and obtain a decent CGPA in exam. Make sure you clear all exams till 8th semester.
Infrastructure Is also good, laboratories are fitted with new desktops and campus size is also decent, Tuck shops and various Canteens are available inside the campus. Also Central Library is there inside the campus where students can study in exam t

Dislikes

The curriculum for 1st and 2nd semester is purely based on subjects that you studied in 11th and 12th, the advance versions of those topics are there in 1st and 2nd semester which make it difficult for students to get good grades.
The placement in other branches like Mechanical, electrical is mere, and one can face difficult in getting on campus placement if he/she belongs to these streams. Also Lack of practical knowledge is there in these streams, Theory is more focused.
If one opt for hostels, then the hostel facilities are not as good as it should be , the mess food is pathetic and one can face difficulty if he/she opt for hostel, also campartively hostel fees are also very high, whereas nearby Pg's are cheaper

Placement Experience:

placement is good in our college. Aveage package is 400000, and average package for cse stream is approx 500000. Various companies like alstom, infosys, accenture, TCS, Wipro, amazon, Walmart, JP Morgan chase and co. etc visit campus every year and recruit students. Approx 300+ companies visit campus and above 80% of cse students are placed but In other streams like ECE.EE and ME etc placements are campartively lower and students face difficulty in order to get placed. MY plan is job oriented i also want to get placed on campus and hope so i will get placed in a good company.

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
