The Chandigarh Group of Colleges (or CGC) are the educational institutions located in Mohali district of Punjab, a short distance from Chandigarh and Mohali. Chandigarh Group of Colleges was established in 2001 at Landran[1] and at Jhanjeri in 2012.[2][3]
Even having a title with a similar name, the three groups of colleges i.e. CGC Landran, CGC Jhanjeri, and Chandigarh University, are three different educational institutions, different locations, and also the three have separate identities.
In 2002, CGC Landran was created under the affiliation of I. K. Gujral Punjab Technical University. Better known as Landran College, CGC Landran offers many technical, pharma, management, arts and science courses. Landran is an interconnected urbanized village linked between Sohana, Kharar and Banur, three prominent towns or villages of Mohali.
CGC campus students have the opportunity to be part of different cultural events like fashion shows,[4] Faculty felicitation,[5] theNASA-sponsored CanSat competition,[6] MHRD's Smart India Hackathon events,[7] Start up to Scale Up conferences,[8] NCC best cadet,[9] Faculty Development Programmes[10][11] apart from annual Techno cultural Fests.[12][13] CGC students also participate in many sports tournaments and competitions in events such as Volleyball,[14][15] Wrestling,[16] weightlifting, power lifting, best physique championships[17]
In 2012, CGC Jhanjeri[2] was initiated as technical campus and currently running under separate administration in Jhanjeri. It is a village which connects two important cities i.e. Mohali and Sirhind-Fategarh.[18]
Initiated in 2009, CGC Gharaun later got University status by UGC in 2012 and is known as Chandigarh University.[19] [20][21]
