Entrance Preview

I took JEE Main exam in which I scored good rank by counseling I getting many colleges but due to certain reviews from the seniors of this college and looking at the scholarship offered by the University.

Course Curriculum Overview

3.5

B.Tech is a 4year program which is divided into 2 semesters that makes a b.tech 8-semester degree. There is a large opportunity for research work in this college. They have specific teaching techniques which help us lots of students.

Internships Opportunities

Yes, our college provides internship. Internship duration is 6 weeks and stipend depends on the company you choose. Most of the companies visited our campus for internship process like ITC, HDFC Banks, AXIS Bank, Bharti airtel etc.

The college has a good placement cell which is very active in providing a good opportunity to the every student. The placement cell targets highly reputed organizations for the placements and most of the reputed companies visited our campus like Infosys, Dell, IBM, Tata Motors, HCL, ICICI Bank, Cipla, Vodafone, Accenture, Fortis etc.

College Events

Our college is far ahead in terms of cultural events. Coke studio, One World, One India, Umeed are the major events that are conducted in our college every year. I participated as a volunteer in "Umeed" which is an open youth festival and students from all over India are invited to join this event.

Fee Structure And Facilities

The college fee is feasible comparing other private universities. The fees are different for different programs as if I talk about the one of the stream of engineering, the maximum fees are about 85000 per semester.

Exam Structure

We had 2 major exams in the college. Mid-terms and End terms. Apart from them, we had 4 assessments to be carried out at regular intervals of time. If by chance someone fails an exam, he/she will be given a chance to reappear and if the attempt fails, he/she will have to study that study the subject again for an entire semester.

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.

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.
