What Students Say

Likes

The infrastructure is great. The teachers here are super supportive and they are always ready to help us whenever needed
Hostel facilities are normal for girls, timming of gate closing is 7 30 pm and for boys its 11 pm.
Hostel rooms and comfortable and spacious. You got 4 people living in one single room.

Dislikes

There is a lot of strictness in terms of studies and attendance.
Mess food is good but it is too spicy. Whenever some function is there hostel students are called first even if it is Sunday or any holiday. They don't care if we are busy in studies or not
The timming of the girls is 7 30 pm only and boys timming for gate closing is 11 pm so there should not be like this

Course Curriculum Overview

4.5

I have opted for B.Tech course and as we see today's world we can see how relevant this course is and how demanding it is. First year is not relevant at all. All the other B.tech branches will go through the same curriculum as you there will be no difference but from second semester it will ve relatable and relevant.

Class Size: 60Course Fees: INR 128300 per year

Internships Opportunities

The internship facility offered here is totally useless you have to focus on your skills and your skills and then apply for internship by your own college will not provide with any internship opportunities.

Placement Experience

The student are eligible for placement in 6th semester.they should not have active backlog. Amazon , microsoft, Flipkart, the math company etc come here for hiring students. Highest package is 45.5LPA and average package is 10LPA which is not so bad. 75% of the students gets placed. After getting the degree i will do M.tech.

Fees and Financial Aid

Fees of B.tech course per semester is 64150 and as compared to other private colleges it is affordable and if you opt for hostel facility it is 110000 per annum. If families could not afford this fees then college has got a scholarship program called CGC JOSH and you can get upto 50% off on there fees but it has some conditions. The scholarship is applicable only untill your CGPA is 7 or above. And ROR is also good of this college. The average placement is 10LPA which is not bad.

Campus Life

My college has organised a tech fest called parichay and in that they called bollywood singer dashan raval and did a lot of things it was a 2 day fest . You will not get every book in the library but some books which are in your curriculum.

Hostel Facilities

3.5

Hostel is quite good actually it has all the activities you need like bedminton, basketball, table tennis etc its rent is 110000 per year. Mess food is good but it is too spicy. Washrooms are not good at all.

Hostel Fee: INR 110000 per year

Admission

I haven't giving any entrence exam to get into this college and I don't think so there is any exam if there are seats available you can join the college its as easy as that. No benefits for reservation. You should have opted physics and maths in your class 12th and have scored 60%in class 12th.

Faculty

Like for every 20 people there is one teacher or faculty. He/She can be our problem solver and we can interact with him/her at anytime. Faculties are highly qualified and their way of teaching is super effective and learnable. We can interact with our teachers whenever we want. So there is no such issue.

Exploring life at Chandigarh University

Likes

Good and modern campus infrastructure. The university is large, modern with good classrooms, labs, hostels and tec.
Most teachers are knowledgeable, supportive and explain concepts clearly.
The university provides placement drives, training sessions, career guidance and etc.

Dislikes

Large student intake. Due to high number of students, sometimes it can be difficult to get individual attention from faculty.
During peak hours, some areas of the campus can be crowded.
The quality of hostel food is not much satisfying.

Placement Experience:

Placements at Chandigarh University are generally good, with students becoming eligible for campus placements in the later semesters, dependiing on their course. Many companies visit the campus for recruitment, offering roles in IT, engineering, management and other fields. The packages vary by company and profile with some students receiving high packages while others get average entry-level offers. Placement opportunities depend on student skills, academic performance and interview preparation. After completing my degree, I plan to secure a good job in my field, gain practical experience and continue developing my technical and professional skills.

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.
