Which amongst CGC and LPU is ranked better?

Question

Dharamveer Dheer · Answer

The comparison is unfair as the institutions have different levels. CGC is a PTU affiliated college while LPU is a renowned international university. LPU has been featured among the top institutions by NIRF, ATAL (MHRD) and Outlook all of which are leading ranking systems. CGC being a college or a group of colleges cant actually compete, lets be fair to them DVD.

Nancy Sachdeva · Answer

Hi Dear, LPU is in my home town while I am also quite familiar with CGC as many of my friends have studied there in CGC. Personally, Ill suggest the LPU as is much better than other private colleges/universities due to the following reasons: 1. Excellent Curriculum 2. Industry Oriented. Teaching and Industrial Tie-ups. 3. Highly Qualified and Experienced Faculty. 4. 12 centre of Excellence, Industry based. 5. Remarkable Scholarships schemes. 6. Affordable Fee. 7. Flamboyant Infrastructure. 8. Excellent placement record. LPU obviously have far more choices for education, far better equipped than colleges for professional training. Generally universities have bigger and better infrastructure to be able to deliver the programs in diverse fields. One very important point is diversity of students and faculty ! Large universities of high repute like LPU have massive diversity among students and teachers. This enables the insights into different cultures and student learns the right sensibilities for working in cross cultural teams. Universities have far more autonomy to decide on their course curriculum in Indian context as colleges are generally affiliated to universities. Coming to infrastructure, as per the rules laid down by UGC for Universities, they have to be far more advanced and better than colleges in providing the infrastructure for the programs they deliver. Also the recruitment of faculty is as per the norms laid out by the regulatory authority. Coming to the two names mentioned in question: website says about 200 companies visit for placements while LPU gets about 600+. The highest packages offered in CGC are about 10 lacs, while LPU gets 42 lacs plus packages. The basic eligibility for CGC courses is 45% at 10+2 level for all graduation courses (with relevant subjects) while it is either 50% (in various courses) or 60% for B.Tech, Agriculture and Architecture etc. And this along-with its own entrance examination LPU NEST. Conclusion: There is a huge difference in eligibility, course structure, infrastructure and placements, both cannot actually be compared as LPU is miles ahead and caters to different level of students. Hope this helps.
