GNDU, Amritsar Comparison

PTU and GNDU both are well-reputed colleges that have unique strengths and weaknesses. While PTU is a bit flexible in terms of exam pattern, GNDU follows the rule of a year back. The choice of the college also depends on the course you will be studying. Usually, PTU fares better in most cases. 

Ultimately, it all depends on the college or university campus you are taking admission. Most colleges in Punjab have a pathetic academic ambiance. So go for the main campus of any university else look for a decent college in your area.

In all, GNDU offers better placement opportunities provided that you are on the main campus.

My brother was admitted to PTU and regretted his decision a lot in the first year. However, he wants to be financially strong enough to restart his education in a new college and pay the fees again. He continued studying at PTU and graduated in 2015. 

Soon he landed a government job and he realized that college doesn't matter in the long run. What matters is your knowledge and ability to ace the interview. Choosing either college, GNDU or PTU, will offer similar opportunities as it is you who decides your prospects. 

So rather than focusing on the ‘better college’, become a better person and become a top ranker. As long as you are committed to hard work, all colleges will offer similar opportunities to you.

You are considering pursuing either mechanical engineering or electrical engineering. We highly recommend you consider GNE Ludhiana. The Amritsar Campus of GNDU only offers three B.Tech streams: Computer Science, Electronics and Communication, and Urban Planning. However, the mechanical and civil engineering streams are available at the regional campus of Sathiala and were established in the 2014 batch.

The faculty for Computer Science and Electronics at GNDU is exceptional. However, it is important for you to research placement statistics and other relevant information before making a final decision.

If your rank is 77k, there may be a slight chance for you to get into mechanical engineering at GNE. However, there is an option for you to change streams after one year if there are any vacant seats in your preferred department.

CGC Landran is the better option for CSE. The department has a good faculty base. The professors try their level best to cooperate with students. There are regular CR meetings, to resolve the problems students are facing. The institute organizes TPP lectures, and training sessions from the first year, itself. 

CSE has a 100% placement rate. Microsoft, Google, Adobe, TCS, etc. visit CGC Landran campus placements regularly. The average package for the branch is around INR 3-4 LPA. 

If you are considering MBA, do not choose either GNDU or Punjab University as they both will give you disappointing results. It is better if you prepare well for CAT and GMAT exams and try opting for a top institution like IIMs or NITs. 

Studying MBA at GNDU or PU will prove to be a waste of time and money. Placements at both these colleges are bad when it comes to MBA. But if you prefer technical courses like B.Tech the placements become better.

Students have mentioned that studying MBA from GNDU has only fetched a salary package of 2.5 - 3.5 LPA, which is much lower. Therefore, it is suggested you aim for better B-Schools.
