B.Tech CSE, CGC Landran (2018)

One of my close friends graduated from CGC Landran and got placed through off-campus placements, here are some tips for you from him.

  1. CGC Landran conducts off-campus drives for many MNCs. There are no particular links or URLs where you can register your profile.
  2. The placement department of CGC creates a new google form and allow candidates to register for jobs and internships
  3. Keep checking on the college website regularly for updates. They update the off-campus placement information and provide links to register for jobs and internships.

So you need to stick to the college website for the latest updates regarding off-campus drives.

You can also visit placement blogs for Freshers Jobs, Off Campus Jobs, Walk-in Jobs, Govt Jobs, and for Interview tips.

How are CGC Landran CSE placements?

SR
Sikhsha Roy Posted On : June 15th, 2021
B.Tech from Chandigarh Engineering College (2018)

I have a few friends at CGC and I heard good things about the institute from them. It is well-known for offering good placements and a decent academic environment.

  • CGC conducts prior pre-placement training, where you will be taught how to handle interviews for the recruiting companies.
  • Companies that approach the institutes, come along with their own personal criteria. Many companies set the required score range of 60%, 70% or even 80%.
  • Major recruiters at the placement drive are Amazon, Wipro, Microsoft, Cognizant, HCL, Deloitte, IBM, Maruti, Hyundai, etc. The highest CTC offered to the students according to the recent placement statistics is 35 LPA.
  • If you are want to secure a placement offer, try to master at least one computer language program. The competition gets intense when the number of students is 250+.

The institute conducts extra classes. These classes are about HR, group discussions, etc. Here, you will be given placement papers targeting certain companies by the teachers. At the weekend, you will be handed over modules and questions that concern that specific company.

Colleges like CGC Landran and Thapar are the best and most reputed colleges in the country. Although, if comparing between both of them, according to my friends at CGC Landran, they have more opportunities and exposure. You could get and utilize it to improve your communication skills.

  • CGC Landran and the best academics conduct various competitions and events regularly so that a student can build up his/her personality and communication skills.
  • The literary events such as group discussions, debate competitions, guest lecturers, talent hunts, and many other events are held regularly.

Does CGC Landran use projectors and slides in a B.Tech in CSE to teach? Do they use smart classes and slides?

HS
Harpreet Saini Posted On : July 6th, 2021
Studied at Chandigarh Group of Colleges Landran, Mohali

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.

Which is better, CGC Landran or PU?

MA
Madhav Aneja Posted On : July 25th, 2023
Lived in Chandigarh, India

The choice between PU and CGC Landran depends more on the branch than anything. However, the degree you will be getting from CGC Landran will be affiliated with Punjab Technical University. Overall, PU ranked 44 by NIRF this year while PRU was ranked 120 in 2021. This huge difference in rankings strongly claims that PU is better than PTU.

PU is a Government University while CGC is a private college affiliated with I.K Gujral University, Jalandhar. CGC is a good choice for those looking for a less expensive college and decent infrastructure. It’s great for engineering but the same cannot be said for other courses.

In my opinion, PU is a fairly better option and the following comparative analysis proves this further.
