4Placements5Infrastructure5Faculty5Crowd & Campus Life4Value for Money

An overview of Guru Nanak College.

Placements: People who scored more than 60% are placed in our course. The average package is arounf INR 3 Lacs. Top recruiting companies like Infosys, Accenture, Sutherland, Teach Mahindra, TCS, Wipro, HDFC, etc. Till 2023 I don't think college offered internships. But from 2024, the college offers internships, placement training, mock interviews depending on the academic performance, skills and how well we prepare for the interviews.

Infrastructure: Classrooms are spacious and equipped with modern teaching aid like projectors, smartboard to enhance the learning experience. There are 2 libraries- Central Library and Digital Library. The college has more than 7 labs related with Science and Computers. Separate hostels for male and female with basic amenities and good food. College gives more importance to sports including both indoor and outdoor games. College provides free medical services to the students. There are 2 canteens and 1 cafeteria which serve chats, snacks, juices, etc.

Faculty: Teachers are mostly friendly. They often encourage students to participate. Curriculum is followed as per University of Madras regularly updated to align with industry trends. Semester exams are not much difficult as half of the marks can be scored in internal assessment. Pass percentage for UG is 40 and for PG is 50.

Other: I chose this course because this might be helpful for doing professional course. The Guru Nanak College offers various scholarships to deserving students based on merit and financial needs, it also provides fee concession to the students from economical disadvantage backgrounds. The college environment promotes learning and personal growth with numerous extracurricular, events, and opportunities for the students to engage in different aspect of campus life. Only Pongal celebration is conducted as a grand fest.

Faculty: The faculty is very friendly and they teach very good and teaching methodology is very nice and interesting.

An honest review of GNC Chennai.

Placements: I'm a third-year student, and so far the only companies that have visited our campus are Accenture and TCS. The list of students applying for jobs at these companies is low because they want people to work on systems that are irrelevant to the skills we've learned in our coursework.

Infrastructure: The curriculum is well structured, but some minor tweaks could make it even better. The wifi is poor. The students' free wifi is only for show, as it never works. Some classrooms have smart class features. The library is okay, but the computers are always broken.

Faculty: The faculty is mediocre, but some of them are knowledgeable. The curriculum is relevant but needs some changes to keep up with modern trends. Semester exams are fairly easy with the most basic preparations, a student can pass. However, many students fail their semester exams.

Other: There are no fests in the college. Events are limited. If you are a sports student you can consider this college because that's the only thing this college takes seriously.

Absolutely satisfied with the good campus and friendly faculty members.

Placements: Yearly, 60% of students got placed in the big companies like Zoho, Accenture, and TCS. The highest package offered up to 12 lacs. The lowest package is 2 Lacs. The average package is about 6 to 7 lacs per annum. Top roles offered are like senior sales executives.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure of our college and hostel will be good compared to other colleges in Chennai. The food provided will be healthy and hygiene. The hostel provides good security and food. The course offered will be more selective for the students.

Faculty: All the teachers will be highly talented and qualified. The course curriculum is relevant according to the teachers. Experienced teachers will be more fun with the students. All the faculty members will help the students to become bright in the future for the welfare.

Beautiful college with pleasant view all around the campus.

Placements: The class size is about 30–40 students. The highest salary offered is around INR 60-70,000, and the lowest is around INR 30,000. If we have high qualities, we have a 40% chance of getting into a top company. Scholarships are provided to eligible students, and placements are done through campus interviews.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure at this college is enormous and includes a library, labs, and canteen. Wifi is available throughout the campus. The hostel environment is good, but the food is only average. Hostel fees are quite high, but it's a good place to make friends.

Faculty: The teachers are highly qualified and knowledgeable. The semester exams are above average difficulty level and the syllabus is based on Indian Delhi institutions of ba economics. We have 2 semesters per year. The syllabus is useful for aspirants preparing for government exams.

Other: I got to know about this college through online websites. I was eager to learn more about the college and the courses it offers because I wanted to pursue a career in economics. I found that the cultural events and other departmental programs and seminars were quite good.

Dissatisfied with the infrastructure and facilities.

Placements: Only 65% of the students got placement last year and the top recruiters were TCS, Wipro, Capgemini, Cognizant, HCL, Infosys, and so on. The top roles offered were Software Engineer, Software Associate, Cloud Engineer, Machines learning expert, etc. The highest package offered was 12 LPA, the average package offered was 3–4 LPA, and the average package offered was 2 LPA. There are no internship opportunities available for the students.

Infrastructure: The college does not have a Wi-Fi facility on campus, and the labs are not properly maintained, but the classrooms are maintained better. There is a library present inside the campus and there are a lot of books and novels inside it. The hostel is considered to be the worst and the food quality is very poor compared to other colleges. There is a basic medical facility available for emergencies, and the college shows much interest in sports and other cultural events.

Faculty: Though the college is bad at maintaining the infrastructure, it has way better teachers who have a lot of industry experience. They are highly qualified and helpful to the students. The course curriculum is also relevant and it makes the students industry-ready. The semester exam is not at all difficult if you understand the concept and write on your own. You can easily get above 70% of the marks. The minimum pass percentage is 35%. .
