We present broadband photometric and polarimetric observations of two type IIsupernovae (SNe) 2013hj and 2014G. SN 2014G is a spectroscopically classifiedtype IIL event, which we also confirm photometrically as its light curve showcharacteristic features (plateau slope of 2.55 mag (100 d)$ ^{-1} $ in V-bandand duration of $ \sim77 $d) of a generic IIL SN. On the other hand SN 2013hjalso shows high plateau decline rate of $ 1.5 $ mag (100 d)$ ^{-1} $ in V-band,similar to SNe IIL, but marginally lower than SNe IIL template light curves.Our high cadence photometric observations of SNe 2013hj and 2014G enables us tocover all characteristic phases up to radioactive tail of optical light curves.Broadband polarimetric observations reveal some polarization in SN 2013hj withsubtle enhancement as SN evolves towards plateau end, however the polarizationangle remains constant throughout the evolution. This characteristic isconsistent with the idea that the evolving SN with recombining hydrogenenvelope is slowly revealing more asymmetric central region of explosion.Modelling of bolometric light curve yields a progenitor mass of $ \sim11$M$_{\odot}$ with a radius of $ \sim700 $R$_{\odot}$ for SN 2013hj, while forSN 2014G model estimated progenitor mass is $ \sim9 $M$_{\odot}$ with a radiusof $ \sim630 $R$_{\odot}$, both having a typical energy budget of $\sim2\times10^{51} $ erg.
