Good infrastructure, Good teachers.

Placements: Don't know currently as I am in 2nd semester. Placements are solid? About 80% get placed. The highest package hit 15LPA, average is 6LPA. Big names like Amazon and Wipro visit. Around 70% land internships by 3rd year, mostly in teach and marketing roles. It? S a pretty reliable track record.

Infrastructure: The labs and Wi-Fi are actually great, and the library has every book I? Ve needed. Hostel life is okay rooms are decent, but mess food is definitely hit-or-miss. Canteen snacks and the sports complex are the real highlights here. Solid experience, enjoying.

Faculty: Teachers are qualified and supportive, but the curriculum feels stuck in the past. It doesn't quite make you industry-ready. Semester exams are tough with a moderate pass rate. Good for theory, but needs more hands-on practical work I found my subject syllabus profounding.

Other: I? M in the 2024 batch. I chose this course for its strong reputation. The campus fests and crowd are amazing, but I wish the scholarship process was faster. Good connectivity and plenty of extracurricular!

Average and budget-friendly option with normal placements.

Placements: 50-60% of students were placed, and the lowest package was 3.5 LPA, whereas the highest package went to 18-20 LPA. Companies like EPAM, PhysicsWallah, Watchguard, TCS, Cognizant, FICO, Deloitte, Accenture, KPIT, LG, Namma Yatri and DBS were the recruiting companies. Top roles offered were Quality Analyst, Software Developer, and Data Analyst, and there were not many internships that were offered.

Infrastructure: Infrastructure is just average, classrooms are pretty much normal, and there is no Wi-fi. The library is also not that big and has just basic course-related books. Labs are also not that highly developed. The boys' hostel is good, but in the girls' hostel, many problems do occur, and the mess food is not that good, but they do have variety, and food is provided on time. Basic medical facilities are available on campus, and there is an arrangement of sports too. Also, a plus point is that the hostel does have a gym, and the campus is quite beautiful and peaceful in the evening.

Faculty: Faculty are not that knowledgeable, but they do provide support if sought. Teaching quality is okay, and attendance is compulsory for this particular course. Semester exams are quite difficult, and the classes are not that interactive and practical-based. The pass percentage is 34%.

Other: The college does have a lot of fests like DB nights, guest talks, tech and non-tech events. The MUN conference is also conducted every year, and the co-curricular activities are pretty good.

Review of Chandigarh Group of Colleges, Landran

Placements: Placement is good. About 65 percent of last semester's students got placed. The average package is about 5–6 LPA. Placement drives are continuing. Students from Chandigarh Engineering College also go to Chandigarh University during placement drives, as they have joint placements.

Infrastructure: The entire campus is Wi-Fi connected, and the classrooms are big enough. They have proper fans, lighting, and exhaust fans. Every classroom has a projector and a whiteboard. Hostel food is average, sometimes good, and sometimes bad. Non-veg food is available on selected days in the hostel mess. Medical services are available 24/7 with an ambulance for emergencies. Grounds for football, volleyball, basketball, and badminton are available.

Faculty: Teachers are helpful, though some are rude. The course curriculum is relevant, but in the first semester, almost every branch has the same subjects. Later, subjects are assigned according to the stream. Semester exams are not too tough. With good study and concentration, students can easily pass them.

Overall, college is good in terms of fees.

Placements: 3 batches are running the unique, super60, and non super60 from unique. Your placement is fixed, depending on your skills, but the average package is 5 to 6 LPA. It is under contract with the company. If you do not have skills, you will be fired after 1 year.

Infrastructure: Our college has good infrastructure with playgrounds and a lot of activities, a canteen is available at affordable price, but for medical we have to go out of the college campus. A hospital is present beside the college, Gian Sagar Medical College. Overall, SVIET Punjab offers good infrastructure and supportive facilities for students. While some areas like mess food, can improve. The campus environment, labs, library, and academic support make it a suitable place for learning and growth. Each department has its own dedicated laboratories, and the CSE/IT labs are equipped with updated systems, necessary software, and proper technical support. Classrooms are spacious, well-ventilated, and many are fitted with SMART boards to make teaching more interactive. The library is one of the strong points of the campus, offering a wide collection of textbooks, reference material, journals, and a peaceful space for self-study.

Faculty: In our college, there are very good facilities present, but daily attendance is mandatory in B.Tech course otherwise, you will be fined. In terms of academics, semester exams are moderately difficult. Students who attend classes regularly and study the provided notes can score well without much stress. The institute gives proper internal assessment, class tests, and revision sessions before exams. The pass percentage is fairly high, as most students clear their semesters with consistent effort and basic preparation. Overall, SVIET provides a supportive academic environment that helps students grow both academically and professionally.

Other: There is no fresher party than the DJ night and other events.

A good campus life with decent facilities and helpful staff.

Placements: In our batch, around 70-75% students got placed through campus drives. The highest package offered was around 6-7 LPA, the lowest was close to 2 LPA, and the average package stayed around 3-3.5 LPA. Companies like HCL, Wipro, Tech Mahindra, Byju's, JustDial and a few good local firms visited our campus. Almost 40-50% students got internships as well, mainly in companies like HCL (training), local IT firms, and manufacturing units. The top roles offered in our course were mainly Software Trainee, Network Support, Sales Executive, Technician, and Junior Engineer, depending on the branch and skill level.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure was average but good enough for daily classes. Labs had the basic equipment we needed, and Wi-Fi worked most of the time. Classrooms were clean and comfortable. The library was helpful, but it needed more updated books. Hostel rooms were okay, and the food was manageable. Sports and medical facilities were simple but useful when required.

Faculty: The teachers were supportive and explained topics clearly, though teaching styles differ from teacher to teacher. The curriculum was relevant and helped in building practical skills. Exams were moderate and manageable with regular study. The pass percentage was generally good.

Other: Campus life was really good with a friendly crowd and active events. I chose this course for better career options, and the best part was the supportive environment. I just wish for more fests and more extracurricular activities.
