There are a plethora of parameters based on which one can decide which college is better than the other. But at the same time, your choices and your priorities also matter to decide which college you will opt for. You might not get all the fulfillments in the college checklist but you can set your priorities. Coming onto the question, if you are willing to decide among CGC Landran and CCET Chandigarh, you are comparing two very different colleges. 

Let’s decide based on different criteria: 

Placement: If you are one among the students to whom the ultimate goal is to get into a reputed company after Engineering, CGC Landran will be the right choice. You know why? Go through the placement records given below: 

The placement stats of CGC Landran is way better than CCET Chandigarh. 

If you want the stamp of Panjab University on your degree, then you can opt for CCET Chandigarh. Although, CCET will not provide you with any extra benefits/royalties like Panjab University. Instead of CCET, UIET is a better choice. 

From the study point of view, there is not much difference between these two colleges. 

For CSE, Chitkara University is a great option. A relative of mine recommended Chitkara University to me. According to him, Chitkara University charges 80,000 a year and every rupee is worth it. Here are some highlights about the institution: 

• In Chitkara University, the strength of each batch is approximately 800. You should not get scared or demotivated seeing the number of students in your Batch because competition will make the journey better for you. 
• You must concentrate on your coding skills and the coding exams are held online on *hackerrank*. It will be fun once you master it. It takes a lot of brains to solve each question. Personal attention is provided to each and every student.
•  Every group consists of 15 students and every such group is led by one mentor. 

• TedX talks , Inlingua Classes , Toastmasters, etc., are taught in order to develop the skills of the students. 

Other than that, the college has all kinds of sports from Basketball, Cricket, Badminton and Snooker. Therefore, it can be concluded that you should opt for Chitkara University as it is truly worth it.

CGC Landran is an average college for CSE but it is better than any other colleges in the North. The good thing about CSE is that you don’t need a reputed college to learn about CSE. You can learn the required skills with a laptop. If you have the required skill set, you also do not have to worry about placements.

Discussed below are a few of the factors that you should know about CGC Landran. 

Placements: CGC Landran has a pretty decent placement record and it is improving every year. Top companies like Google and Microsoft visit the campus for recruitments. After pursuing B.Tech in CSE, you will have a definite chance to get placed in one of the IT companies. 

TPP Classes: The newly launched training and placement programs help the students to become industry-ready. Though you will be charged an extra amount of Rs. 4500 but these skills like programming, aptitude, and soft skills will help you in final placements. 

Fee: In comparison to other colleges, the fee of CGC Landran is much less. Thus, it really doesn’t hurt your pocket much to study in this college. 

Attendance:

• The 75% attendance criteria is criticized among the students a lot but if you really want to learn and grow, you must attend the class. The college follows 75% attendance criteria mandatory. 
• The attendance is calculated every fortnight. And if you have less than 75% attendance in the first fortnight then you can maintain an equivalent balance in the next fortnight. 

Practicals:

• CGC only prepares students for the PTU examination. In the class, only the PTU syllabus is covered. Teachers do not have good knowledge of projects.
