What Students Say

Likes

The club culture is very good. One can easily find clubs for any of his hobbies.
The campus is very large and green. The infrastructure is good as compared to other IITs.
Hostels are in better condition as compared to hostels of old IITs.

Dislikes

The academic stress remains usually high so we need to maintain balance between studies and fun.
The location of campus. Nearest market from campus is roughly 8 km and there are not much spots to hangout with friends.

Course Curriculum Overview

Branch Mathematics and Computing deals with maths and also computer science. The integration of these two is really helpful if you plan to go in AI or ML in future. This was the main reason I opted for this course. Though the academic stress remains quite high but one can balance between fun and studies. The exams are very frequently taken, we can't have a sigh of relief for more than a month. The level of exams too remains on a bit tougher side.

Class Size: 35Course Fees: INR 250000 per year

Fees and Financial Aid

Tution fees here in IITs are very less as compared to other private colleges. Here the tution fees for 4 years is roughly 8 lakhs. Including other charges the fees only goes up till 2.4 lakhs per year which is roughly 10 lakhs for 4 years. Financial support is easily available for students who are economically weak. Many scholarship oppurtunities are there if someone wishes to avail them, he/she can easily avail them.

Campus Life

Our annual cultural fest is Zeitgeist (in month of November), and tech fest is Adivitiya(in month of feb). Along with these, Aarohan(sports fest) , Revanche(esports fest) and Malhar(literature fest) are also there. The library has almost all the books we need during our courses and the other books like novels or biographies are also available easily. Sports activities are really good. Coach are very interactive, they take regular training sessions and almost all the sports equipments as well as courts are present.

Hostel Facilities

3.5

Meal quality has significantly improved as compared to past times. The mess menu is also changed every month as per the demand of the students. The hostels are affordable. Including mess you have to pay only 16000 per semester for hostels.

Hostel Fee: INR 32000 per year

Admission

The mode of selection in IITs is mainly through JEE exam. First you need to qualify JEE Mains and top 2.5 lakhs (roughly) students are eligible for JEE Advanced. Then you need to perform well in JEE Advanced to get into IITs. The application form and other details are available on official site of NTA and JEE Advanced. The JEE Mains is 3 hours long whereas the JEE Advanced is (3+3) hours long (two 3 hours exam in single day and you have to perform good in both of them to qualify).

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.

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.

IIT Ropar is a remarkable college!
