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.
Without a doubt, CU's degree is more valuable than CGC's (Landran) because CU has been awarded the prestigious A+ grade by NAAC.

CGC Landran is an older college with a better reputation than Chandigarh University simply because more people are aware of it. Whereas Chandigarh University is a newer institution with the same owner.
However, there are some significant differences between CGC Landran and Chandigarh University -
CGC Landran is a college affiliated with another university. This means that your DMCs, degree and other formalities will take some time. Whereas Chandigarh University is a deemed university, you can get all of these documents quickly.
Because Chandigarh University is a university, they have the freedom to change its syllabus and rotate its subjects in response to industry demands, which CGC Landran does not have.
Placements at CGC Landran and Chandigarh University are all the same because they all take place at the same time.
Chandigarh University has a growing campus with 1 or 2 buildings being built every 6 months, whereas CGC Landran is a fully constructed campus. CU is also very developed now, with over 15 food joints and cafeterias, which is fantastic. You can decide for yourself by visiting both campuses.
Teachers at CU are much better than teachers at CGC Landran because they are paid more. Because a university pays its teachers more than a college. And it goes without saying that the more you pay, the more you get.
CGC is the location. Landran is in a small city near Chandigarh, and buses to Rajpura, Patiala, Sirhind, and Kharar are not readily available due to the longer time intervals between them. CU, on the other hand, is directly on the Chandigarh-Ludhiana national highway, with a bus leaving every 10 minutes for either Chandigarh or Ludhiana. For Patiala students, CU is closer to Patiala than CGC, even though CGC is closer in distance.
Overall, they are similar institutions, but the distinction between a college and a university cannot be overlooked. If you can, go for CGC; if you can't, CU is the better option.
