Guru Nanak Dev University - [GNDU], Amritsar - Affiliated Colleges

Well, the procedure is straightforward. You have to go to the Administration Block and the Transcripts Office on the top floor.

You need to submit an application that explains why you require transcripts and lists all required credentials. Furthermore, you must pay a fee that is determined by the number of transcripts you require. Three sets of them used to cost 7000 INR each (one set comprised eight transcripts, one for each semester of B.tech), a few years back.

You can pay the fee and receive a token slip from the accounting department. The token must then be submitted to the Administration Block office. They'll most likely tell you to wait a week, but if you're lucky, you'll get them sooner.

GNDU Amritsar is a good institute. The campus is great and you can experience nature there with a large number of fields and gardens in and around the campus. 

I have a few friends who graduated from the institute and here is what they shared about the institute.

• For the course of graduation in physiotherapy from the sport, medicines, and physiotherapy department, the faculty is interactive and friendly.
• The students at GNDU feel active all day due to its infrastructure and the greenery found all around the campus. Transportation to the city from campus is cheap and manageable.
• At the institute, students are supporting many initiatives taken by the Govt. Also, there are many departmental committees that organize various cultural and technical fests.
• The placements at GNDU are good and many companies visit the campus placements. In the placement drive for 2020-21, the highest CTC offered was 13.50 LPA.

Therefore, you can prefer GNDU for any of the courses provided by the institute as it is one of the best universities in Punjab and worth all the money one spends on education.

My brother is in GNDU and here are his tips.

• Enjoy your initial days at the campus, as these will not be repeated any time soon.
• Take advantage of every opportunity to live life to the fullest.
• Try hard to achieve the CGPA/SGPA/Percentage eligibility criteria. It would reduce the likelihood of failures and low grades in the end.
• To cover good grades in the end, try to score higher on minor exams (MSTs). The lesser the syllabus, the higher the scoring aspect. Don’t wait until finals.
• Maintain consistency. Revision every day will keep help you stay up to date while reducing the amount of pressure at the end.
• Try to read more books to clear up any remaining doubts and gain a broader perspective on concepts.
• Try to exceed 75% attendance.

These are some of the things that you should keep in mind. 

I have a few friends from GNDU and according to them, here are some of the things that you can do on weekends. 

• GNDU is known for its massive collection of periodicals and historical records. The book collection is fantastic, and it's the finest place to be because you'll have so much to explore. Make the most of your time at the GNDU library because it houses some rare publications, papers, and manuscripts, particularly in the fields of science and architecture.
• If you enjoy nature, you have arrived at one of India's top campuses. You can see migratory birds, including some Himalayan birds migrating south for the winter.
• Work on improving your photography skills. Amritsar, particularly especially GNDU and the surrounding regions, is a photographer's dream. 
• The food here is the best. Chole Kulche is a popular Amritsar street food, and there is one particular restaurant at Hall Gate, directly across from the IDBI Bank, that serves the tastiest. 
• If you want to experience modernity and contemporary culture, go to Lawrence Road, where two new malls have recently opened. Ranjit Avenue is also worth visiting.
• Take the train to Attari, the border settlement, from Cherrhahata Sahib. You will simply enjoy the journey, it is breathtaking.

Overall, Amritsar has a lot to offer, but most of it is buried within the city walls, and much of it is unknown to tourists, so much of it is often overlooked. So try to explore and enjoy to the fullest. Make the most of your time until you are in GNDU.

On the main campus of the University, there is a grading system and the CGPA is calculated based on the grades scored by a student. Therefore, a good CGPA depends on a good grade. The students who score above 81 marks attain a grade of A+ in the particular subject. For the minors, a student gets 3 chances to improve their performance. If a student fails to attain good marks in the first minor then she/he can go for improving the same in 2nd minor or the majors. The syllabus that comes in the minors is less as that compared to the majors. Here are some tips on how to manage your studies for majors and minors.

• The library has many books and one can make full use of the main University’s library.
• Try to study the syllabus mentioned on the University’s website beforehand.
• The schedule gets busy usually on the weekdays and the weekends remain free. Therefore, try to study on the weekends and complete assignments or files.
• The University teachers are friendly and cordial and will help you to complete the syllabus one misses in the class or is unable to understand.
• Try to give time to the lectures one misses and complete that on time because there is very little time available once the minors get started.

These are some ways through which one can manage the time and attain a high CGPA. Follow these tips positively to do well in your university exams.

Both the PTU and GNDU are different in their terms and have their advantages and disadvantages. The GNDU is strict with the examination rules, whereas at PTU rules regarding examinations are quite relaxed in comparison. Choosing PTU or GNDU also depends on which course you are choosing. For some courses, PTU is better, while GNDU is better for others. Here is a brief highlight of the placement statistics for PTU and GNDU.

At last, everything depends on the college you want to opt for. If you are coming to Punjab from any of the places they don’t. The private colleges are not that good in the state. Therefore, don’t fall for the private colleges of Punjab. 

For any admission, apply for the university campus and not for the private colleges. Instead, take admission in your city or the native place.
