Chandigarh Group of Colleges Jhanjeri B.Tech Review By Sourav

I'm a 3rd year B.Tech CSE student at CGC Jhanjeri and I must say that so far it has been worth it. All the faculties and staff are very dedicated towards their work and try to facilitate the best opportunities to the students. College has a Placement Cell-DCPD (Division for Career Planning and Development) and they conduct soft skills classes from 1st Semester onwards preparing students for the interview process during placements. DCPD conducts classes on web development and DSA to improve our technical skills. I would suggest taking admission in this college to anyone who couldn't get into IITs/NITs and is looking for a private college with great placements track record.

B.Tech CSE is a four-year engineering professional degree course in which there are 8 semesters. 1st and 2nd semesters consists of subjects including PCM, soft skills classes, basic Electrical Engineering, workshops, Engineering Drawing, AutoCAD, etc . 1st year subjects are same for all branches of B.Tech and it focuses on getting a hands-on general knowledge in all fields of Engineering. From 2nd year onwards, subjects like DSA, Java, C++, etc. are included so that students gain knowledge in core subjects and allied skills. There are no requirements for admission as such. Admission is provided on first come first basis. The student must have completed +2 in PCM. My motive to take admission in this College was to get good job opportunities in Tech companies.

Faculties and staff are very dedicated towards giving students all the knowledge to become skillful. All teachers complete the syllabus on time and provide lectures’ PPTs and PDFs for reference. Teachers are very helpful and patient in doubt solving. Their style of teaching is very crisp and clear, and they are very helpful towards students.
