Placements are low for ECE, mechanical, and civil. Only CSE has good opportunities.

Faculty: Teachers are very helpful. They guide for your career, and teach very well. The first semester is easy, but when you go to your 2nd year, you start your core-related subjects, and these subjects are tough, especially for electronic, mechanical, and civil students.

Review of Guru Nanak Dev University.

Faculty: I don't know about other departments, but in my department, the majority of the teachers are actually quite intelligent and helpful too. If you are someone good in academics, their experience will be quite good. The exam difficulty is subjective, though it depends on you, the semester, and your specialization as well!

Satisfied so far with the syllabus and course.

Faculty: Teachers are helpful, qualified, and knowledgeable. Teaching quality is also good. The course curriculum is relevant to industries. It gives full exposure to the industry level of work. If you study well exams are not that tough if not then of course they are going to be tough.

The infrastructure is good but I am not satisfied with the crowd.

Faculty: Teachers are helpful and knowledgeable. The semester exams are average, but sometimes it is difficult. The curriculum is relevant, but not that much. The teaching quality is average. The teacher does not go into the depth of the topic. The study is not as per the industry requirements.

A big improvement came after 2015 in placements. The highest package is offered.

Faculty: Teachers are helpful, and they even teach us during breaks sometimes. In semester exams, we get questions that are taught by teachers in the class, and no outside material is used. It is fine as teachers teach, they set paper like that only.

Just do hard work for one more year, qualify for JEE, and get a good college.

Faculty: Do not even think about the faculty, they were not able to teach even a 5th-grade student. Our math teacher draws a line on x axis of the question, saying it draws x=2, the electrical engineering teacher teach whole basic electrical engineering without any numericals what can you expect? Not only Maths and engineering, but all of them are just leave.

No placement, affordable.

Faculty: Teachers were average. Botany teachers were excellent. Other teachers were average, and Chemistry teachers were the worst. The curriculum doesn't make students job-ready. Semester exams were fair. There was strictness and no cheating. 34% was required to pass the exam.

They conduct less interactive classes, which are so boring.

Faculty: Teachers make us roam here and there in order to get signatures from them on the records and other fee receipts. They rarely use boards for teaching, and at all other times, they deliver less interactive digital presentation classes, which are highly boring and annoying.

Faculty members are well-qualified, but placement through this college seems next to impossible.

MBA at GNDU: Fees, placement and faculty overview.

Faculty: The faculty is good despite a large student ratio. They teach a curriculum relevant to the course that is comprehensive. The exams are held twice a year as mid-semester tests and end-of-semester examinations. They are moderately tough, and a 75% attendance record is important to avoid backlogs.

Campus life, hostel life was good, but some of the teachers were so rude.

Faculty: Teachers of some branches are helpful, but not from all the departments. They are qualified, but not to that extent, which is required for college students. Most of the teachers have no experience in teaching, so this is also a very big disadvantage for the students.

Faculty: This is a very big drawback of this university. Our geography teacher till 4th sem she has taught us in Bachelors and she has only completed Bachelors in geography due to lack of teachers, they assigned another subject's teacher to teach us, which is a very shameful act.
