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.

Particulars	CGC Landran	PU
Number of recruiters	800+	55
Number of Placement offers	8600+	383
Highest CTC	INR 45.5 LPA	INR 45 LPA
Top Recruiters	Accenture, Amazon, Deloitte, Dell, Capgemini, IBM, Genpact, Google, etc	Sapient, Gemini Solutions, Motorola, EXL, Code Brew, Havells, Oceaneering, HP, Infosys, Emerson, Edureka, etc.

PU has a smaller batch size and its highest CTC is also better than CGC. So, it’s PU over CGC!

CSE at Panjab University (PU) 2020

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,

Institute	Panjab University (PU)	CGC Landran
Course Fees (1st Year)	INR. 4.0 lakh (1st Year Fees)	INR. 92,000 (1st Year Fees)
Highest CTC	INR. 33 LPA	INR. 35 LPA
Average CTC	INR. 6 LPA	4-5 LPA
