What Students Say

Likes

Good ventilation and every class has Air conditioners.
Technical labs with modern equipments and Personal computers.
Affordable Fee structure along with highly supportive teachers.

Dislikes

Lack of infrastructure, washrooms are not properly maintained.
Less involvement in sports and youth festivals.
Canteen is not good as well as canteen's staff is rude.

Course Curriculum Overview

I would rate my college's course curriculum highly in terms of relevance and comprehensiveness. One of the key aspects that influenced my decision to choose this course was the strong emphasis on modern technologies such as artificial intelligence, machine learning and data analysis, which are crucial in today's job market. The curriculum also includes programming languages like python, c, cpp, Java ensuring that students are equipped with the necessary tools to thrive in the tech industry.

Class Size: 60Course Fees: INR 75000 per year

Placement Experience

3.5

On campus Placements are average here. The highest package goes to 19 lakhs and Average package is 3-4 lakhs per annum. However we can not expect any MNC to visit this campus but the companies for freshers and to gain experience visit the campus.

Fees and Financial Aid

Fees for General and OBC candidates is 75000 per year and additionally 30000 scholarship is for students who scored 80% in 12th and if they maintain 8.0 GPA every semester they will retain their scholarship therefore fees ends up 45000 rupees per year. For Sc/St students PMS scholarship is provided by the government and they study for free. Apart from tution fees additional fees for Exam is charges for something around 2000 rupees every semester.

Campus Life

There is no such festivals or events organised by college. However NSS camps are organized by the college administration and some little programs like yoga day and student happiness programs are organized by NSS only. There is no such social groups or clubs that runs by college. Some sports events also organised by the college like badminton and cricket.

Admission

I randomly choose my college not any specific reason. I had applied for GNE Ludhiana but didn't get CSE branch so I tried here and got admission. Admission process here is so simple. If you get your admission through online counseling then ok otherwise you can come to campus and enquire about any vacant seat and if it has then you can simply get admission here.

Faculty

Almost all faculty members are good and highly supportive in nature. They understand the students problems and resolve them patiently. Guest faculties are on the other hand are less experienced but they tried to give their best. HOD of CSE department Mr. Vipul Sharma is highly experienced and because of them this technical campus is gaining new heights.

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.

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 .

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.
