75% attendance is harsh as in semester we can only take very few holidays
Morning classes as its hard to wake up in hostel in the morning
Extremely long college it takes half an hour by foot to travel from one corner to the other

Course Curriculum Overview

Courses here are great and somewhat needed for the future My Branch ENC is an integrated branch for electronics and Computer, we get to combine our hardware and software skills CSE is classic, and Coe is both hardware and software focused again, EEC is a combination of electrical and Computers

Class Size: 140Course Fees: INR 240000 per year

Internships Opportunities

4.5

Top companies like apple, Samsung, Microsoft, Google... and so more comes here and recruits a hefty amount Avg package here is 12 lpa and the median package here is 10 lpa If one studies here and focuses on his improvement this is overall a good college for his future

Fees and Financial Aid

This college comes under top Premium Colleges in the world, on terms of admission it is costly but it gives a great ROI as placement here is great There are 3 tiers Tier 1 include cse,coe and csbs Tier 2 include enc eec and eic Tier 3 include mechanical, chemical and civil Tier 1 is 25 lakhs for 4 years excluding hostel Tier 2 is 22.4 lakhs for 4 years excluding hostel Tier 3 is 19.8 lakhs for 4 years excluding hostel

Campus Life

Making friends here are super easy though we dont have much facilities anywhere near, we can still have a lot fun as Shimla is just 2 hours away... Rest the food here is great and mess food is actually eatable, they listen to all the problems and act on it as quick as possible

Hostel Facilities

Hostel include Gym, Cleaning service, laundry, mess and renting sports equipment facility For 70000 for 6 months Registration process was quick and easy, The quality they provide is worth the money Every hostel is near the college building

Hostel Fee: INR 60000 per year

Admission

B.Tech and B.E are offered here, first round of this college happened before second attempt and the Scores were low, during the second round of counselling, cut off for good branches rose high for cse it even went beyond 98percentile in Jee mains for General You can find application form start and end date on their site only as it's a private college This college accepts admissions through Jee Mains and Boards To lessen the student intake to increase the quality of the students

THAPAR REVIEW

Likes

The infrastructure is great with state of the art labs and equipment
The library is really nice place to study
Lots of hangout spots in and around campus

Dislikes

Less opportunities for core branches as less core companies visit campus
75 percent attendance policy for classes
Very high fees compared to other colleges

Placement Experience:

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. The major recruiters are: Oracle, CISCO, JPMC,Deloite,IBM,ZS etc.

Inside NITJ- Beyond the Brochure

Likes

There are 1 AC Lecture complex()LT with almost a seating capacity of 100-120 students, with smart screens and projector.
NITJ has well maintained 4 Girls hostel and 4-5 boys hostels with proper cleanliness and hostel staff.
They are 7 cafeterias in the Campus, including 3 Nescafe outlets,1 dominos and 3 regular canteens that serve food late night.

Dislikes

Wifi and connection issues in the hostels
Slow response to emails and late approval to applications
The ICE department faculty is quite strict. Tough grading system and administration.

Placement Experience:

NITJ has a placement cell, also known as the Centre of Training and Placements(TPO office of NITJ). The placement scenes differ depending on the courses offered. The average placements are 12-14LPA in the Computer Science branch. Every year, hundreds of companies, including Pvt and govt both. PSUs like HPCL and BPCL recruit students based on merit and academic excellence.

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.
