Summarize
Perspective
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, with different locations, and also the three have separate identities.
CGC Landran
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
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 Jhanjeri
In 2012, CGC 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]
