Which is better for engineering, GNDU or PTU?
PTU and GNDU both are well-reputed colleges that have unique strengths and weaknesses. While PTU is a bit flexible in terms of exam pattern, GNDU follows the rule of a year back. The choice of the college also depends on the course you will be studying. Usually, PTU fares better in most cases.
Ultimately, it all depends on the college or university campus you are taking admission. Most colleges in Punjab have a pathetic academic ambiance. So go for the main campus of any university else look for a decent college in your area.
In all, GNDU offers better placement opportunities provided that you are on the main campus.

Do colleges under PTU have no value in these years?
PTU Jalandhar is a good college and has a good reputation too. Though, there might be some glitches of course, which do increase or decrease with time. It’s definitely a challenge to maintain the right curriculum and culture, but I can assure you that PTU Jalandhar is quite a good college.
PTU is affiliated with a lot of colleges, a majority of them are just doing business in the name of education and making money and some are just selling the study for the sake.
- PTU Jalandhar is much reputed like any other popular college.
- It is known for the help it provides in getting the jobs and conducting placement drives successfully.
- From an industry perspective, PTU has a wide reach. Many notable companies tend to participate in their placement program.
- PTU, unlike other colleges, does not discriminate among its students. If you are skilled enough, you have a solid chance to secure a placement.
Thus, people claiming that PTU has lost its value are not right. They provided a vague statement and as its name does not have the same brand value as the IITs or NITs, PYU is often undermined.
Is a PTU degree valid in Canada?
Yes, a degree from PTU is valid in Canada.
PTU is one of the reputed universities of India. Many of my friends and colleagues have moved to Canada for further studies or job purposes. They have been successfully able to secure a job there.
However, you might have to pursue some other course to further open your opportunities in Canada.
How can I get transcripts for all marksheets from PTU?
One of my friends in PTU struggled for around 2 years to get the result and mark sheets of his BCA degree. Sharing his experience, he told me that getting a mark sheet for a regular course was easier than for a Distance one. The institute does not offer the distance course anymore and the ex-students find it very difficult to procure the transcripts. Here are two ways you can try if you are stuck in a similar situation
- Through the support center: You will be glad to know that PTU has a support center where you can sign up directly. All you need to do is raise a ticket for your queries and the support center will assist you in solving the query. My friend did the same and he was informed about the process of getting transcripts within 1-2 working days. He had to pay Rs- 200/- through the demand draft as a postal charge and your mark sheets will be delivered to your given address.
- Visiting the campus : Ask your LC to visit the University Campus to sort out the issue. In case he refuses to go, you can personally visit the campus along with the required documents. You might even get mark sheets on the spot once all the formalities are done.
Hope this helps you!
Why is the checking of PTU Jalandhar not appropriate?
There is hardly any university that has the best evaluation process. It's not just PTU but most of the Indian universities fail to evaluate the students properly, especially when the course being taught is more practical than academic.
- A study was recently conducted and it was concluded that more than 80% of graduate engineers in the country are unskilled or you can say lack viable requirements as per a need of the company.
- In regards to PTU, most of the answers are mugged up from guides and that lacks actual knowledge.
- I believe a major portion of students is not able to pass it. But as they do pass from this you can conclude that checking is not proper.
- Also, the evaluation is based more on the mass of the content rather than quality; you might get surprising results after the examination.
Also, I would suggest you do your side of the research for a much better depth rather than believing superficially. But, you can get an overview that our universities do not have good teachers who also eventually end up evaluating your exam papers.
Which is the best PTU and GNDU college in Punjab?
My brother was admitted to PTU and regretted his decision a lot in the first year. However, he wants to be financially strong enough to restart his education in a new college and pay the fees again. He continued studying at PTU and graduated in 2015.
Soon he landed a government job and he realized that college doesn't matter in the long run. What matters is your knowledge and ability to ace the interview. Choosing either college, GNDU or PTU, will offer similar opportunities as it is you who decides your prospects.
So rather than focusing on the ‘better college’, become a better person and become a top ranker. As long as you are committed to hard work, all colleges will offer similar opportunities to you.
