Is CGC Landran a good college for a B. tech in the mechanical stream in terms of placements?

VM
Vikram Mathur Posted On : October 20th, 2020
Mechanical Engineering from Chandigarh Engineering College (2019)

CGC Landran has a good reputation and is better known for placements of CSE/IT/ECE (IT Sector related streams). Mechanical stream placement of the college is averagely rated. The institute offers training for placement to its students.

  • Few core companies visit for the mechanical branch. The college claims that Mechanical branch recruiters like Bajaj and Mahindra and Mahindra visit their campus but the number of placements from these companies is low.

  • The average placement package of B. tech 2019 batch is 4.5 LPA and 1-2 students from a batch of 80 got packages of more than 9 lakh in IT-related branches. Most students in non-IT related branches land 3-4 LPA jobs.

  • Many students of mechanical branches here study coding to get placed in the IT Sector.

Placements Statistics:

  • The 2018-19 placement records have shown that 40-50% of students from the Mechanical department, among the eligible, were placed with median packages between 3 to 4 LPA. The year 2017-18 had shown almost the same results previously.

  • Most of these placements are in non-core sectors.

At last, if a student is skilful and has knowledge at par with the concerned industry standard then they will surely find good placement irrespective of college. There are some examples of students who did outstanding and got placed in top mechanical core companies like Royal Enfield, Mahindra & Mahindra and Bajaj.
