Chandigarh Group of Colleges, Mohali (CGC Landran) All Questions

Hi,

Joint placement program- the placements of both the colleges happen together, so I guess it wouldn't be a deciding factor.

Establishment- Chandigarh university was setup in 2012, while Chandigarh group of colleges was setup in 2001. Bonus points for cgc!

Exposure- If you're thinking that you would get a better exposure and culture at CU because it's a university, then, hello? CGC also offers other programs than engineering ! Doesn't the name clarifies it all? CHANDIGARH GROUP OF COLLEGES!  Duh!

Advertising- have you ever come across an ad welcoming you to join cgc? But you must have noticed the television commercials and newspaper advertisement of Chandigarh university. I have. Cgc wins here too.

Scholarship- Chandigarh university beats cgc here, one can avail 50% tuition fees discount here just by scoring 9.6 or above cgpa in X class.  Bingo right? Wrong, after the deduction of 50% fees, the amount you will have to pay would be equal to what you'll pay at cgc. So I guess minus points for cu for using such gimmicks.

All in all, cgc would be a better choice among the two. :)

Hello Aspirant!

More or less all these are the same.

Placement: Chandigarh University places students to local plus reputed companies.
While Chitkara University focus mainly on reputed companies.

Rank: Chitkara University ranking is on top 50 university in India. I dont know about the Chandigarh Uni.

Staying: It is very cool to live in campus of Chandigarh Uni. But on other side there are some boundations in Chitkara. U cant go out during study hours. You cant use mobile phones and many more.

Cultral and Sports: Chitkara Uni organises more cultral and sports events than Chandigarh Uni.
And there are many more awards and recoganisation in particular fields.

Technical: Chitkara Uni. Provides you better platform to grow technically through projects making and other activities.

Hi Aspirant,

In my opinion, you should go for CGC Landran which is among one of the best colleges in Chandigarh.  You can go for PU Patiala as well.

Now regarding CSE branch, the faculty at CGC Landran is far better than the other two ones. So there is no doubt in choosing CGC college for better academics.

CGC Landran has a placement rate of 90% with more than 600 companies visiting every year. DAVIET college has a placement rate of 85%. Considering previous year's placement records for PU Patiala, the college had 100% placements by 36 companies but the average package isn't high and ranges between 4-6 lakhs on an average.

Hope this would have solved your query. Best of luck!!

Hello Student,

Depends on the aspects you wish to place your career on. Do extensive analysis and place your career goals before taking a choice.

CGC has a larger field however the standard of education provided at chitkara is much superior. Chitkara may be a additional academically bent university, with business oriented programmes and varied tie ups with the MNC’s to reinforce your placement.Although CGC will have a bigger placement module in place, the no. of annual placement and packages are much better in chitkara.

Chitkara University has,

1.Good crowd not like the overcrowded at CGC

2.Well aware, educated and dedicated lecturers

3.The education module that focuses additional towards the business wants and temperament development

4.No system of admission upon donation not like CGC Landran that takes 1L Rs.

5.Strict and Effective administration,primarily because of the presence of retired defence officers at key positions

6.Most significantly, the chancellor and pro-chancellor being honored educationists

7.And because of zero presence of political leaders within the university board, i might say the university isnt corrupted with Black cash !

8.And above all, it has strong Placement cell which has strong ties with big industry names for placing students

Thank you, feel free to ask questions anytime

Overall, surely go for LPU over CGC.

Best of luck.
