It manages extensive daily domestic flights connecting to major economic hubs like Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, and Srinagar. Depending on highway traffic, the commute to the college takes about 1.5 to 2 hours by road.How to reach: You can easily hire an on-demand private taxi or book an app-based cab (such as Ola or Uber) directly from the Chandigarh airport arrivals exit. For an affordable public transit alternative, catch a local Chandigarh city bus to the Sector 43 Bus Terminal and board a direct intercity PRTC bus to Patiala.Estimated Fare: A direct private cab ride from Chandigarh Airport to the campus gates will cost between ₹1,400 and ₹1,900. For a budget option under ₹130, use a local bus to reach the Sector 43 terminal (~₹30) and switch to a state transport bus heading straight to Patiala (~₹85)."

        Global Polytechnic College is a prominent technical institution situated along the busy Patiala-Nabha Road corridor in the Rakhra area of Patiala district.  The campus sits right near the local Sub Power Station and the well-known Rakhra Sugar Mill. Because it is a familiar academic center along the highway network, local auto and taxi drivers can easily navigate directly to the entrance gate. The facility features properly maintained computer labs with dedicated power backup infrastructure to run online exams smoothly. Plan to arrive at the main college gates 15 to 20 minutes before your reporting time so you have plenty of time for identity verification and finding your assigned exam lab block.    </div>
