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]

## Individual institutions

[edit]

Even having a title with a similar name, the three groups of colleges i.e. CGC Landran, CGC Mohali (Jhanjeri), and Chandigarh University, are three different educational institutions, with different locations, and also the three have separate identities.

### CGC Landran

[edit]

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, the three prominent towns or villages of Mohali.

#### Campus activities and sports

[edit]

CGC campus students have the opportunity to be a part of different cultural events like fashion shows,[4] faculty felicitation,[5] the NASA-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 such as Volleyball,[14][15] Wrestling,[16] weightlifting, power lifting, and best physique championships.[17]

### CGC Mohali (Jhanjeri)

[edit]

In 2012, CGC Mohali (Jhanjeri)[2] was initiated as technical campus and it is currently running under separate administration in Jhanjeri. It is a village which connects two important cities i.e. Mohali and Sirhind-Fategarh.[18]

### CGC Gharuan or Chandigarh University

[edit]

Main article: Chandigarh University

Initiated in 2009, CGC Gharaun later got University status by UGC in 2012 and is now known as Chandigarh University.[19] [20][21]

## Placements

[edit]

CGC students with foreign guest

4500 Multinational corporations such as Infosys, Wipro, Microsoft, Google, HCL, Larsen & Toubro Infotech, Tata Motors, Cadence, Dell, Polaris, SAP Labs, Adobe Systems, Citrix Systems, Oracle, Cognizant, Bharti Airtel, Deloitte, IBM, Tech Mahindra visit the Landran[22] and Jhanjeri campuses with more than 490 job offers .[23][24] Though no. of placements does not ensure that the grabbed placements are high because most of the recruiters are mass recruiters.

The highest placement gone is 1.07 cr. by off campus placement and on campus with 45.9 lakhs in the year 2022 at Amazon.

## Research and development

[edit]

Chandigarh Group of Colleges is one of the top 10 institutes in India in terms of number of patents filed.[25][26][27] CGC has MoU with the National Institute of Electronics & Information Technology for Entrepreneurship, R&D Projects and training.[28] CGC is a member of the AI and Deep learning project under Newton Bhabha Fund sanctioned by UK's Royal Academy of Engineering.[29] The school was granted ₹23 lakh (US$27,000) aid by Indian Council of Medical Research for the development of nanotechnology-based lung cancer vaccine.[30]
