Which college is better Chandigarh University or CGC Landran for engineering in CSE?
CGC Landran is an older college with a better reputation than Chandigarh University simply because more people are aware of it. Whereas Chandigarh University is a newer institution with the same owner.
However, there are some significant differences between CGC Landran and Chandigarh University -
-
CGC Landran is a college affiliated with another university. This means that your DMCs, degree and other formalities will take some time. Whereas Chandigarh University is a deemed university, you can get all of these documents quickly.
-
Because Chandigarh University is a university, they have the freedom to change its syllabus and rotate its subjects in response to industry demands, which CGC Landran does not have.
-
Placements at CGC Landran and Chandigarh University are all the same because they all take place at the same time.
-
Chandigarh University has a growing campus with 1 or 2 buildings being built every 6 months, whereas CGC Landran is a fully constructed campus. CU is also very developed now, with over 15 food joints and cafeterias, which is fantastic. You can decide for yourself by visiting both campuses.
-
Teachers at CU are much better than teachers at CGC Landran because they are paid more. Because a university pays its teachers more than a college. And it goes without saying that the more you pay, the more you get.
CGC is the location. Landran is in a small city near Chandigarh, and buses to Rajpura, Patiala, Sirhind, and Kharar are not readily available due to the longer time intervals between them. CU, on the other hand, is directly on the Chandigarh-Ludhiana national highway, with a bus leaving every 10 minutes for either Chandigarh or Ludhiana. For Patiala students, CU is closer to Patiala than CGC, even though CGC is closer in distance.
Overall, they are similar institutions, but the distinction between a college and a university cannot be overlooked. If you can, go for CGC; if you can't, CU is the better option.

What is the daily routine at CGC Landran?
A few of my friends are CGC Landran alumni and their rutin at the institute was somewhat like the following.
- Students lined in a queue near washrooms early in the morning at 06:30-07:00 AM.
- Reaching mess for breakfast.
- Getting ready. Tuesdays and Thursdays are meant for uniform/casual.
- 4 lectures to be attended from 09:15-12:05 PM (Group 1)
- 5 lectures to be attended from 09:15-12:55 PM (Group 2)
- Group 1 lunch break is from 12:05-12:55 PM. While group 2 lunch break is from 12:55-01:45 PM
- Prolonged classes till 04:30 PM after lunchtime.
- 04:30-05:00 PM is snack time.
- Head back to your room and study or play video games like- mini militia or counter strike.
- 07:30-09:00 PM is dinner time.
- You can wander around the campus, but make sure you report before 10 PM.
Next morning, you have the same routine which continues till Friday. College is off on Saturdays and Sundays. This routine that I have mentioned goes on for the next 3 years. Till then, you'd be categorized as seniors and prone to mass-bunks. Plus when you're in your 4th year of college, your timings would just be from 09:30 to 02:00 PM.
Once a year the institute celebrates Parivartan fest, sports day, Baishaki festival, etc. Each branch also has its separate fests in which students from different branches can take part. All in all life at CGC Landran will be quite fun.
