Well, the procedure is straightforward. You have to go to the Administration Block and the Transcripts Office on the top floor.
You need to submit an application that explains why you require transcripts and lists all required credentials. Furthermore, you must pay a fee that is determined by the number of transcripts you require. Three sets of them used to cost 7000 INR each (one set comprised eight transcripts, one for each semester of B.tech), a few years back.
You can pay the fee and receive a token slip from the accounting department. The token must then be submitted to the Administration Block office. They'll most likely tell you to wait a week, but if you're lucky, you'll get them sooner.

On the main campus of the University, there is a grading system and the CGPA is calculated based on the grades scored by a student. Therefore, a good CGPA depends on a good grade. The students who score above 81 marks attain a grade of A+ in the particular subject. For the minors, a student gets 3 chances to improve their performance. If a student fails to attain good marks in the first minor then she/he can go for improving the same in 2nd minor or the majors. The syllabus that comes in the minors is less as that compared to the majors. Here are some tips on how to manage your studies for majors and minors.
These are some ways through which one can manage the time and attain a high CGPA. Follow these tips positively to do well in your university exams.

GNDU Amritsar curriculum was outdated a few years and has recently been updated by current industry standards, which has been beneficial for students.
One of my friends studied at Guru Nanak Dev University (GNDU) Amritsar. According to him, the environment is really good, green and clean.
Other departments like Chemistry, Law, Political Science, Food and Technology, Architecture are really good. There is no union of students like a political body makes it a bit better. Very few cultural programs take place here. The library is the most peaceful part of the campus and is accessible to all the students anytime.
GNDU should be preferred over DAVIET, as the degree value of GNDU is more valuable than a PTU degree. The study material and exposure provided remain the same in both institutes.
Here are some facts about both these institutes:
Categories | DAVIET | GNDU |
Course Fee | 3.18 lakh | 4.78 lakh |
Placement Percentage | 70% | 70-80% |
Highest CTC | 12 LPA | 10-12 LPA |
Average CTC | 5 LPA | 5-8 LPA |
Recruiting Companies | TCS, Bosch, Infosys, Samsung, etc. | Accenture, Wipro, TCS, IBM, etc. |
In DAVIET, students are not enthusiastic or competitive enough, which makes the overall academic performance mediocre. GNDU on the other hand comprises active students who are very much passionate about their studies hence making the quality of education better.
