    Both CGC and CU have successfully created a strong position as the leading educational institutes by offering various career opportunities. One can easily explore and choose the best option as per the choice. Although there are some similarities and differences between the two which I would like to highlight:
    1. Affiliation and Recognition: CGC is affiliated to Punjab Technical University whereas CU is a Private University. The students passing out from CGC will be conferred degrees from PTU. Simultaneously, Chandigarh University is a full-fledged university established by the Punjab State Legislature and is included in the list of univ

    Despite both the Institutes are situated and serving in the vicinity of tri city, CU is a leading Indian Institution offering its students a unique amalgamation of professional and academic excellence. Chandigarh University has been awarded the prestigious A+ grade by the National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC). Chandigarh University has become the only private university in India to bag A+ grade in the first cycle of the accreditation process and has also become the only state private university of Punjab to be accredited by NAAC.

    Hi Bhavuk
    There are a lot of difference between CGC and CU. Firstly, CU is a NAAC A+ graded deemed University and has over 70 programs running pertaining to each and every field. Secondly CU has UGC-DEB approved Distance Education Courses as well. Thirdly, the placements and internships are unmatchable at Chandigarh University. The Corporate Resource cell assures that each and every student gets placed. Lastly, the course curriculum are very much inline wit the current industry needs. And the faculty is well qualified and highly knowledgeable in their respective fields.

    CGC and CU both run under the same management, however, there is a difference in terms of fee structure as well as faculty. The fee structure of CU is high in comparison to CGC. CU sure has scholarship opportunities but after the scholarship, fees will be the same as CGC so not much of a difference. As far as placement is concerned, they both conduct their placement drives at the same time and provide similar packages. The faculty of CU is amazing as well. However, the location of both of them might create a difference in choice.

    Chandigarh University is the best as compared to CGC Landran. CGC cluster comes underneath PTU and Chandigarh University may be a separate personal University. There's totally different expertise of finding out in a very University instead of a university. CU is accepted for their placements in North Bharat. Well, practiced employees and a much orientating approach cause you to a far better trade prepared. I would recommend CHANDIGARH UNIVERSITY is currently the most effective personal university for future studies. Chandigarh University is Asia's the quickest Growing University and has simply created a robust name for itself in less t

    With the spread and improved demand for quality education and not just a mere degree, the recruiters in every sector have become more competitive to offer more jobs. Here comes the role of the university you choose for gathering knowledge and employability skills. So, we would all like to be a part of the one which not only gives us best opportunities to grow but works on overall development of the student and prepares him/her to be well prepared for grabbing the opportunity as CU offers TPP programme in which students are provided with soft skills and aptitude training sessions.
