The Amritsar Group of Colleges (AGC) claims to have transformed from a modest institution in 2002 into a leading educational powerhouse, setting benchmarks in academic excellence, industry collaboration and societal contributions. Founded under the Amritsar International Education Trust, AGC’s vision was clear from the start—to provide accessible, high-quality education that caters to the aspirations of students not just in Punjab but across the country.
The institute claims that their initial focus on engineering and technology quickly expanded into disciplines such as pharmacy, law, business management, hospitality and paramedical sciences.
With the introduction of AI & Machine Learning, Cybersecurity and Biotechnology, the institution claims to have demonstrated its responsiveness to emerging fields. “Our goal has always been to bridge the gap between academia and industry. That’s why our curriculum is designed to be industry-relevant and skill-oriented. Through hands-on workshops, innovation labs, and collaborations with leading corporations, we ensure our students are ready for real-world challenges,” Advocate Amit Sharma, Chairman, AGC Said.
Infrastructure and global exposure
The institute claims to have also prioritised sustainability, incorporating solar panels and rainwater harvesting in its infrastructure. The campus is spread across a 16-acre campus, AGC boasts smart classrooms, well-equipped laboratories, research centers and high-tech computing clusters.
Interestingly, the institute also claims to have international collaborations with universities in the USA, Canada and Australia. Through these partnerships it asserts offer students with global exposure, exchange programs, and international internships. “In today’s interconnected world, education should not have boundaries. Our partnerships allow students to experience global learning environments and gain perspectives beyond their home country,” Sharma said.
Placement success
AGC’s strong placement record is a key factor behind its growing reputation. With top packages reaching Rs 40 LPA and an average placement package between Rs 10-12 LPA, the institution asserts to have attracted recruiters from technology, pharmaceuticals and finance sectors.
