One of my close friends graduated from CGC Landran in the IT Branch and here are some facts for you from his experience.

There are 2 types of IT companies, which are as follows.

Product-based - These are the companies that hire at pretty impressive packages i.e more than 10 LPA to name a few companies which visited the CGC campus in recent year were Amazon, HP, Google, etc.

Service-based - These are the companies (mass recruiters) that hire in bulk offering packages about 3–4 LPA.

Most of the students get jobs in service-based companies.

Placement Statistics:

Hope this information helped.

Yes, CGC Landran is a good choice but there is no other college to compare with.

• CGC Landran is a college that focuses mainly on the computer science branch rather than the mechanical branch.
• As a college, in terms of placement and campus life, CGC is a perfect choice.
• The only disadvantage found in the college is the hostel’s food that does not taste good.

Lastly, it depends upon the student’s interest and choice to opt for CGC Landran.

Yes, you can definitely enroll in CGC Landran. A friend from my school had the same doubt before applying to CGC Landran and eventually took admission with the percentile of 80 in his higher secondary exams. Undoubtedly, it was one of his great decisions because he was recruited by one of the best companies.

• The admission is done based on PTU or is merit-based.
• The college offers Engineering, Management, Computer Applications, Pharmacy, Biotechnology, Hotel Management and Education programs.
• The students from this campus have always been recruited by top-notch companies.
• CGC doesn’t focus on learning new technologies as it follows the syllabus which ensures your recruitment in a good company.

Hence, taking admission isn’t a bad idea if you want to get on-campus placements by proficient companies. But if you are willing to learn new technologies, it is highly recommended that you look for a different college. CGC is one of the best colleges in terms of providing on-campus placements all over North India.

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.

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.

One of my friends studied at CGC Landran. According to him, the placements there are extremely poor as it is not a much reputed and popular college.

• Students with 40 - 50% marks can get admission easily and there are no limits on admissions.
• The faculty of this college is not cooperative and doesn’t have any experience or knowledge of their subjects.
• Very few companies visit the campus for placements and more than 10000 students from CU, COE, CGC Jhanjeri and CGC Landran participate in the interviews. So the competition for jobs is also very high.
• Most of the students here belong to Himachal Pradesh, Jammu, and Punjab and they have their own clique.
• The situation of the hostel is also very bad and one room is shared by four students.
• The mess is not good and the food served there is not hygienic or of good quality.

The condition of this college is very bad and you must avoid taking admission in this college at all cost as your life will become miserable for the next four years. So it will be better if you can look for some other colleges where the academics and placements are far better than CGC Landran.
