What are the best things for Punjab University students to do on weekends?
Punjab University is located in Chandigarh and there are many places to visit and things to do there on weekends. But then again after some visits, it will eventually become repetitive and except for a few places which are worthy of a second visit, you will eventually get bored. So here are some things you could try to do on weekends instead –
- Mohali, a nearby town in Punjab is famous for international cricket matches as well as IPL. You could visit there sometimes with your friends.
- The university campus is beautiful. If you are a photography enthusiast or you are fond of making video blogs, then definitely you could consider doing those during weekends.
- Also, the city of Chandigarh is close to the Himalayas. So there are plenty of hill stations such as Manali, Kullu, Kasauli, etc. to visit and spend the weekend in mother nature’s lap.
- You could also join some club or committee or society and work on your weekends. They organize various activities such as street plays, blood donation camps, BP and diabetes-free check-up camps, etc. You could volunteer for such activities which will help in better utilization of your time along with doing your bit for the society.
Lastly, you could also sleep in your own room and enjoy movies, TV shows, etc. on Netflix. This is the most common thing that youngsters do. If you are among those who like to keep their rooms clean, then you could do that on your weekends as well.

Yes, you can migrate from DAV College Chandigarh to PU main campus in your 2nd year of BA
You just need to know about the requirements for doing so. These could include: marks required or seats vacancy, etc.

Which university is better DU, PU or Jammu University?
It entirely depends on which course you are choosing. However, overall DU is definitely better than PU and Jammu University.
The academics and faculty base are almost the same at these universities. However, academics are not the only influencing factor in the overall development of students. Curriculum, exposure, and other additional things also play crucial roles.
At DU, you will have great exposure. DU has many societies like dance society, fashion society, debating society, etc. If you have any passion, you can explore it at DU. The peer group at DU is also better.
If we speak generally, for the given institutes, your preference order should be DU>PU>Jammu University.
Which is better, CGC Landran or PU?
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.
- Panjab University (PU) shares a boundary in a better location, as opposed to CGC Landran. PU has earned more value than CGC in every possible way.
- For all purposes, you should first try for PU, if you do not get admission, then try for PU affiliated colleges.
- Unfortunately, if these affiliated colleges are also not in reach, then they try reserving a seat in CGC Landran.
- CGC Landran has limited seats as well, but it is comparatively easier to get admitted there than it is in PU.
Now, considering various factors, both of them are compared below in a brief way,
|
Institute |
Panjab University (PU) |
CGC Landran |
|
Course Fees (1st Year) |
INR. 4.0 lakh (1st Year Fees) |
INR. 92,000 (1st Year Fees) |
|
Highest CTC |
INR. 33 LPA |
INR. 35 LPA |
|
Average CTC |
INR. 6 LPA |
4-5 LPA |
