Himanshu Kumar's Review on Chandigarh Group of Colleges (CGC), Jhanjeri

If you are a student and looking for an on-campus placement, needless to say, this is the college for you. Around 200-300 companies come for placements here and there's 90% chance that you'll get placed. Companies include-Microsoft, IBM, Amazon, Dell, HP, etc.

There are two hostels-the boys (Himalaya) and girls (Gangotri). The total fees for 6 months (one semester) is INR 35000 and the room is shared between 4 students. Every 2 months there is DJ night organized between both the hostels. The food is clean an good. The cost for that food is included in the hostel fees. The rooms are equipped with WiFi facility too. Coming to the classrooms, they have large windows and high-performance lights, so there's. No worry of darkness. The benches are clean. There are a number of labs and a library too. The college consists of a cafeteria where you'll get normal home food, a fast food shop, a food court, snooker court, and easy days.

First of all, the good things is that no sort of entrance exam is required to take admission in this college. Instead, they just ask for a minimum of 60% marks in 12th board exams. You just have to go to the admission cell, tell them about your performances in 12th and fill in a few forms and voila. You are done.

The daily timetable of the college consists of a total of 7 lectures and a break. Every 4 days out of 5 there are two lectures of labs for the students. The college starts at 9.30 AM and ends at 4.30 PM. Saturday and Sunday are holidays but a student can also come on Saturday for extra project work or studies. The teachers and the staff are very supportive and help in whatever is in their hand. My overall experience in this college has been rather good if not the best.

The course fees for Btech in ECE and CSE is INR 45,000/- excluding the final exam fees. The exam fees are INR 720. Scholarships under PM (Prime Minister) ModiJi are also available. They have their special tie-up with SBI bank, you can get a loan from there easily.

The college celebrates a number of festivals with various fests. A number of celebrities are called over in the college ranging from Honey Singh to Soha Ali Khan. The college celebrates its annual tech fest too. In general, life in college is good when you are with friends.
