The choice between PU and CGC Landran depends more on the branch than anything. However, the degree you will be getting from CGC Landran will be affiliated with Punjab Technical University. Overall, PU ranked 44 by NIRF this year while PRU was ranked 120 in 2021. This huge difference in rankings strongly claims that PU is better than PTU.
PU is a Government University while CGC is a private college affiliated with I.K Gujral University, Jalandhar. CGC is a good choice for those looking for a less expensive college and decent infrastructure. It’s great for engineering but the same cannot be said for other courses.
In my opinion, PU is a fairly better option and the following comparative analysis proves this further.

PU has a smaller batch size and its highest CTC is also better than CGC. So, it’s PU over CGC!
Having friends studying in both the institutes, I can assure you that among them Panjab University (PU) is better. CGC Landran is apparently a private institute mainly affiliated to PTU.
Now, considering various factors, both of them are compared below in a brief way,
