CGC Landran is an average college for CSE but it is better than any other colleges in the North. The good thing about CSE is that you don’t need a reputed college to learn about CSE. You can learn the required skills with a laptop. If you have the required skill set, you also do not have to worry about placements. 

The table below has a brief overview of the CSE program at CGC Landran.

Discussed below are a few of the factors that you should know about CGC Landran. 

Placements: CGC Landran has a pretty decent placement record and it is improving every year. Top companies like Google and Microsoft visit the campus for recruitments. After pursuing B.Tech in CSE, you will have a definite chance to get placed in one of the IT companies. 

TPP Classes: The newly launched training and placement programs help the students to become industry-ready. Though you will be charged an extra amount of Rs. 4500 but these skills like programming, aptitude, and soft skills will help you in final placements. 

Fee: In comparison to other colleges, the fee of CGC Landran is much less. Thus, it really doesn’t hurt your pocket much to study in this college. 

Attendance:

• The 75% attendance criteria is criticized among the students a lot but if you really want to learn and grow, you must attend the class. The college follows 75% attendance criteria mandatory. 
• The attendance is calculated every fortnight. And if you have less than 75% attendance in the first fortnight then you can maintain an equivalent balance in the next fortnight. 

Practicals:

• CGC only prepares students for the PTU examination. In the class, only the PTU syllabus is covered. Teachers do not have good knowledge of projects. 
• If you want to learn about projects, you have to join various project clubs on campus.

So, overall the college helps its students a lot. Every college has some advantages and disadvantages and so does this college. But at the same time, you will get the best out of this college if you study hard.

First of all, it is one of the most sought out branches here in BIT Sindri, so definitely if you are studying CSE and the world of coding fascinates you then go for it. Without a doubt, I can say that if you are good at coding and you are really passionate about it then the college doesn't matter much because there are many good online courses and competitions available to prove your skills.

In terms of placements, you will be placed, but not in the companies you desire. Metallurgical engineering clearly outperforms the competition. To be honest, production and chemicals are not great, but it also depends on the person, as I have seen my seniors from these branches get placements in Vedanta and Tata with good salary packages.

Currently, IIIT Una facilitates education through two temporary campuses of Dev Bhumy Group of Institutes, Himachal Pradesh and the NIT campus at Hamirpur, the main campus is still under construction and the placement is average. 

The first batch of IIIT Una passed in 2018, with an average salary of INR 3-4 LPA and highest salary of INR 10-12 LPA. In 2020, 90% students were placed and the average salary increased to 8 LPA and the highest to 16 LPA, hence it is being assumed that these statistics will improve in the upcoming years to reach the level of performance of NIT Hamirpur. 

For now, you'd like to know these -

• NIT Hamirpur has been ranked #98 by NIRF and Thapar ranks #29 on the same.
• As IIIT Una is working under the aegis of NIT Hamirpur, the institute receives the same companies for placement as does NIT Hamirpur. This year, names like Infosys, Reliance and IBM graced the campus and the highest package offered was INR 62 LPA.
• For COE, Thapar University students receive an average salary of INR 6-7 LPA.

It is difficult to assume anything in the case of IIIT Una, it has improved from the 2018 statistics, but it cannot be said how successful it'll be in four years' time. Whereas Thapar University is developing well as far as placements are concerned, in 2020 the highest package offered to Thapar University students was INR 39 LPA and 990+ companies made offers to them.

My sister studies in UIET Chandigarh, and it's an excellent institution both spatially and academically. Chandigarh is going to be one of the most flourishing IT cities in India - which enhances the scope for those students who wish to pursue a career in the field of computer science. 

You may also want to focus on these when comparing both-

• Tuition Fee- It has an affordable tuition fee if you compare it with IIIT UNA. You'll have to pay INR 82,000 as one year's tuition fee for the BE program at UIET Chandigarh; you'd have to pay INR 1.02 lakhs per semester for the B.Tech program at IIIT UNA.
• Faculty- IIIT UNA has 17 members for the CSE department, and all of them are guest faculty members. UIET also has 10-15 teachers who are very motivating.
• Study Environment- You'd feel a healthy level of competition in the CSE department because there'd be all-rounders and achievers in the class to motivate you to develop.

You can see from the table below that it has an excellent placement record as well-

Apart from this, the facilities at UIET Chandigarh are quite good if you're interested in sports, then you can join a sports club at the Punjab University and get professional guidance through a coach. Chandigarh itself is a city full of good recreational spots, you can also join different creativity clubs as well.

CGC Landran is affiliated with IKGPTU and so, it follows the syllabus set by the university itself. During the first two semesters, students are taught applied science topics in subjects like Physics, Mathematics, and Chemistry. Along with those, some basics of computers are also included in the syllabus. 

The subjects of CSE from the third semester onwards are stated below in the following tables.

The detailed mapping of subjects in CSE at CGC Landran is thus stated. Further information regarding topics in each subject can be seen from the official syllabus of IKGPTU.
