Great university to look up to.
Placements: The college has a pretty average placement for this course. Most of the students got placed. The highest placements for LL.B. may be 12 LPA, and the average is 6 LPA. Internships are provided both paid and unpaid to almost every student. Students need to grab opportunities on their own.
Infrastructure: Moot court is in the university. There are many competitions held to teach the students practically. The classrooms are nicely maintained. Hostel life is manageable. The food is not that great, but you can survive. There are medical facilities. Sports like badminton, kabaddi, and many more are available for the students who are interested.
Faculty: Faculty is a mixed bag. Some teachers teach with passion and are genuinely helpful, and some may teach in a rush just to complete the syllabus. They are well-qualified and have great knowledge about the subject. Teaching quality is also very good. There is a focus on practical learning and not just bookish study, which makes the students industry-ready. The semester exams are moderate. The students can pass the exams easily by listening to the teachers in class carefully. The pass percentage is also high, nearly 90-95 percent. Faculty members have a really great knowledge of the course.
Other: There are many events and fests in many departments, which make the college life more lively and happening. There is also a focus on extracurricular activities like dance, music, and sports. Students are encouraged to pursue their hobbies. There are tests that are held every year for a scholarship, which helps the students to reduce their financial burden.

CGC University, Mohal is very good for students to study, good placement, nice behaviour of teachers
Placements: In my opinion, the CGC University, Mohali placement is very good. There will be getting minimum 5-7 LPA and the highest one is 1 CPA. The recruiting companies that come to CGC UNIVERSITY are Amazon, Infosys, TCS (Tata Consultancy Services), Wipro, Capgemini, Deloitte, Cognizant, Accenture, Flipkart, and IBM.
Infrastructure: Our course block infrastructure is very nice. Good labs, Wi-Fi is also good. The library is very good, anyone can study without any problem. The hostel facility is very nice, provides food and snacks from time to time.
Faculty: The teacher behaviour is very good. They are helping if you are in any trouble with any topic, they will help you. The semester exam is not much difficult if you clear the topics. Teachers help you in every situation. All the teachers did Ph.D.
Other: Chose the B.Sc. in Information Technology course because I have always been interested in computers, technology, and how they shape the modern world. This course provides a strong foundation in areas like programming, database management, networking, web development, and cybersecurity.

Being from Uttarakhand my experience is good.
Placements: Currently I am pursuing my 3rd semester in MBA degree program. I am updated for the TCPD placement drive. My experience is good but my attendance in discipline is very low right now. I am not placed but I look forward to getting placed in a good company with a flying package
Infrastructure: I am giving 4 stars for the infrastructure of CGC University. I am not a hostel resident. I am from Uttarakhand state and live in a PG nearby due to a standard perception of restrictions imposed on hostel residents so I chose the PG facility nearby and come to the university by college bus.
Faculty: All faculty members are good in our MBA department, and same I have written about it on Google. They are very helpful, and syllabus wise they give out of the box knowledge. Exams are held in a semester scheme but there are also semester exams each of 20 marks.
Other: It is just like a normal university, nothing different or decent.

College is above average as compared to other colleges around the area, and has a nice faculty.
Placements: My course is AI, and this was introduced around 2023, so I can't say a lot about placements. For other batches (B Tech), the average comes around 8-9 LPA, and the highest around 30-40 LPA (1 crore is an exception). Moreover, it also depends on off-campus opportunities.
Infrastructure: Infrastructure is pretty nice, and more buildings are being constructed. Wi-Fi works pretty well for me, and classrooms are fully furnished but don't have AC, whereas labs do have AC. Labs are also quite nice. Hostels also have Wi-Fi facilities, and medical facilities are also available.
Faculty: For sure, teachers are amiable, understanding, and helpful. My teachers are all new, so I can't actually say a lot about teaching quality. I feel it was average. For the current curriculum, we have subjects that are quite relevant. Semester exams are above average in difficulty level.

My review regarding the college is very good so far in 3 semesters.
Placements: Currently, I am pursuing my B.Com Honours from CGC University. I am in my 3rd semester right now, and I opted for DCPD, which started in the 3rd semester itself. Right now, there is no placement drive conducted, so I look forward to good companies coming with good packages.
Infrastructure: I am a hostel president in my first year, and the only problem I faced as a hosteler is the issue of hygienic food and poor quality of the food that is served in the hostel. Infrastructure-wise, the hostel is very good and the University itself is very good, so no issue regarding that.
Faculty: For this particular section, I am giving 5 stars because all the faculty members in the commerce department are very good. Classes for B.Com are held in Block 4 on the 5th floor. Also, the exams are very tough and very engaging, and there are two mini semester exams before the semester final exam.
Other: You will be left with no time with DCPD classes scheduled, and the regular course classes are also scheduled at the same time. This makes the daily schedule very hectic; at least there must be some spare time.

One of the best college and best decision of my life of choosing CGC University.
Placements: I have just started my B.A. LL.B. course and I don't know much about the placements, but one thing which I can say for sure is that there is a wall of fame on which there are photographs of many students who have got a good placement, and the amount of package is also really good.
Infrastructure: Infrastructure is excellent, and while talking about it, I would like to refer that there is availability of high-speed Wi-Fi. The libraries are equipped with many books, and a separate library is there for every branch. Also, a lot of online material is available for us, which has worth of millions.
Faculty: I would say that the faculty members of our college are one of the best faculty members as they are NET qualified, which shows that college has high standards, which is a good thing for the students. The semester exams are medium types, and the pass percentage would be 80-85%.
