CGC Landran is a very popular college and it is affiliated with Punjab Technical University. The faculty of this college is average but the placements and infrastructure are very good.

Various IT companies like Wipro, Cognizant, Capgemini visit the campus for recruitment and you can easily secure a job if you can maintain at least 65% in your B.Tech. If your percentage is even higher, then you can even get selected into top companies like Microsoft and Mu-sigma.

You can easily get a job in IT service by preparing for Arithmetic, Reasoning, English. Also, improve your coding skills for which the college does provide extra classes. But getting into a product-based company will be a little difficult as these companies only recruit 4-5 students who have very good knowledge of their fields.

If you are unable to get into a product-based company then start preparing for GATE, build some cool projects and receive some certifications too so that you can make your profile strong and your chances for recruitment will increase further.

Also, most of the HRs look for candidates who have qualified GATE examination, so it can be a plus point in your resume.

Having friends studying in both the institutes, I can assure you that among them Panjab University (PU) is better. CGC Landran is apparently a private institute mainly affiliated to PTU.

• Panjab University (PU) shares a boundary in a better location, as opposed to CGC Landran. PU has earned more value than CGC in every possible way.
• For all purposes, you should first try for PU, if you do not get admission, then try for PU affiliated colleges.
• Unfortunately, if these affiliated colleges are also not in reach, then they try reserving a seat in CGC Landran.
• CGC Landran has limited seats as well, but it is comparatively easier to get admitted there than it is in PU.

Now, considering various factors, both of them are compared below in a brief way,

Thus, considering everything, it is suggested you go for PU rather than CGC Landran.

The answer to this question depends on you. It is up to you whether you are interested or not. If you are passionate enough about practical learning then you will have to take an initiative, you will have to work hard on it. The faculty will definitely help you with it.

Both colleges facilitate project-based learning. As far as I know, the students work on major projects for the Department of Electronics and Communications Engineering (ECE) and Mechanical Engineering. After the first year of engineering, you will be engaged with projects in each semester which will be very exciting and full of practical application-based learning.

Apart from all these, certain events and competitions organized by the college provide a platform for you as a student to exhibit and flaunt your talent and knowledge and win rewards as well!

It definitely will give you a good opportunity to know about yourself, to explore within yourself.

My sister recently graduated from CGC Landran and has better information about the teaching techniques employed at the institute. Here is what she had to say.

In the first year of college, the teachers do not use projectors a lot and they just give the students notes for the subjects.

In the second year, the syllabus starts getting tougher and the length of the chapters in subjects also increases as the core subjects get included. It becomes a challenge to complete the syllabus in time. That is the reason why second year onwards teachers mostly give notes and teach from PPT Slides to cover up the syllabus.

Hope this clears your doubt.
