Also sometimes there are some extra exams happen for those students who were unavailable at the internal exam time. You just need to inform before the exam.

Overall, CGC University Mohali is great.
Placements: CGC Jhanjeri provides outstanding placement support with 850+ reputed companies visiting every year. Top recruiters include Infosys, Wipro, IBM, and TCS. The highest package exceeds 45 LPA, with excellent records in engineering, management, and computer science.
Infrastructure: CGC Jhanjeri has a modern and well-maintained campus with smart classrooms, advanced labs, Wi-Fi, and a large library. Hostels are decent. But food and Wi-Fi need improvement. Green surroundings and sports grounds add to the appeal, making it a good choice for students.

Many students praising them for industry-relevant teaching. However, some feedback indicates a few teachers may be less engaging or consistent in approach.

Good infrastructure and labs.
Placements: Students are eligible for placements after the 3rd semester. From seniors, I heard that there are no on-campus placements. Mostly students are placed through referral from their sources. Remedial and overseas companies mostly recruit a very small number of students from this college. The highest package offered is 3.5 LPA, and the lowest package offered is 2.6 LPA.
Infrastructure: Wi-Fi is restricted, no use. Labs are good and spacious. All apparatus used in industry and machines are available. There are also government funded labs present. Classrooms are good. They are well ventilated and AC is provided. Library is good but it closes at 5:00 PM. The hostel is good, they are 3 seated and 2 seated. Mess food is boring.
Faculty: Faculty members are good. They are highly educated and experienced. Faculty members are aware of what the students want. There are two semesters in a year. Each semester has two sessionals. From second year, there are thesis, project work, and journal club work.

If you are close to this college then come, don't come if you are from distance state.

Infrastructure: Infrastructure is good. Labs are good. All instruments like HPLC, HPTLC, UV, etc., are present. Government funded labs are present. Classrooms are spacious and digitally updated.

Very nice experience on a metro scale.
Placements: Currently I am pursuing my first semester Master’s degree in Business Administration at CGC University. I am in contact with a lot of third semester students. Many of them have got placed and have already taken a No Objection Certificate from the department.
Infrastructure: CGC University has developed one of the best infrastructures on its campus. I think it is the best in entire India. I am not a hostel resident, so I have absolutely no idea how facilities are in the boys’ hostel. Our MBA course is very rigorous and demands a lot of effort.
Faculty: India's best faculty are available here. All of them are masters of their domain. The teaching methodology followed here is awesome.
Other: Being a first-semester student, I am looking forward to fill this column. I am absolutely satisfied with the study environment and vibrant positivity. This can be felt here. I am happy here overall.

CGC Jhanjeri provides a balanced experience with studies, internships, and campus activities.
Placements: The placements in our college are pretty good. A good number of students from our batch get placed. The college brings decent companies for law students. The average package is fair and depends on individual performance. Some top companies and law firms visit for campus drives. A few students also get internship opportunities through the college in different firms and offices.
Infrastructure: Classrooms are nice and well-maintained. Though air conditioning is available in specific rooms only, which makes it problematic for other classes as it's really hot and humid and suffocating during summers. It makes the environment impossible for students to study. The Wi-Fi works fine most of the time, but sometimes it disconnects. Cleanliness in the campus and hostel area is really good. The overall environment feels positive. The library is spacious and helpful for our course. Overall, the infrastructure is good, but a few things like Wi-Fi stability and AC classrooms could make it better.
Faculty: Teachers are qualified and quite supportive. Most of them explain concepts clearly and are easy to approach if we have any doubts. The B.A. LL.B. course covers both law and arts subjects well. It is pretty useful for understanding the legal system. The syllabus is quite relevant and helps in building a base for competitive exams too. Semester exams are moderate and not too tough if you study regularly. Overall, the academic experience is good and balanced.
Other: I chose B.A. LL.B. because I have always been interested in legal studies and want to build a career in law. The best thing about this course is that it gives both theoretical and practical knowledge. Moot courts and debates really help in building confidence. I wish the Wi-Fi and air conditioning in classrooms were more consistent. Apart from that, the campus crowd and college events make the overall experience great.
