Remarks

Being in the main area of the city beautiful(Chandigarh), PEC has made its reputation and stands out as a brand in the nation. Produces good engineers every year. Overall my experience has been amazing till now.

Entrance Preview

PEC takes its admissions in BE Program through JEE(Mains) . I got a good rank in JEE(Mains) and got admission into Electronics and Communication Engineering in this college. No Interview process is there. My interest in Electronics made me choose this course.

Course Curriculum Overview

4.5

Course Curriculum is very good. We have classes as well as labs, tutorials and workshops for every subject. Much focus on practical learning. PEC takes research initiatives. PEC is handling the 'Smart City Project' under the government to make Chandigarh a smart city and many other research opportunities. Every stream has a lot of project work.

Internships Opportunities

College provides a good opportunity and platform by providing internships. Every year a lot of companies visit the campus to select students for internship programs. According to reviews from my seniors, the internships provided are very good. Big companies select good students for internships and pay them a good amount. Average stipend amount is around Rs. 20,000 per month.

Placement Experience

4.5

Placement is what PEC is known for. Placement wise PEC is one of the best college in North India. Almost 100% (to be precis 96%) students get placed. Around 100 companies visit the campus for annual recruitment and internships. Amazon, Microsoft, Maruti, Royal Enfield and many giant companies visit the campus every year. The highest package offered is 33 LPA by Arcesium. The Averafe package is around 7LPA.

College Events

There are a number of events from every club and society in the college. The main attraction is PECFEST. This the main techno-cultural fest in the college. The event is widespread in the whole of North India. One of the best fests in North India and one must attend this if they are in vicinity. Average footfall is around 20,000-30,000 during the fest. The college also contribute a good portion towards the fest while rest money is generated through marketing. The event is very well organised.

Fee Structure And Facilities

PEC being a government college is one of the most affordable technological institutes in India. Semester fee is about Rs. 60,000. Yearly is around Rs. 1,20,000. This includes Academics and Other Facilities. Hostel Fees is about Rs.60,000 yearly. Makes it to 2 lac per year for a hosteler.

Fees and Financial Aid

College provides a good number as well as amount of scholarships for best students as well as for the economically weaker sections. I did not avail any as I wasn't eligible for any. College does not help in getting any kind of loan. There are in total 5 scholarship programs in PEC.

Campus Life

3.5

The college is more inclined towards extracurricular activities rather than on academics. There are a lot of opportunities towards the cultural side. The college is known for cultural activities and sports.

Hostel Facilities

4.5

I am an Hosteler. There are four boys hostel and two girls hostel in PEC University Of Technology. Hostel rooms are good. You won't get a homely feeling but the rooms are okay to spend 4-6 years of your life. During first semester you get double sharing rooms. After that you have single rooms. Their is no PG facility from college. Hostel fees is approximately Rs. 55000/- per year be it single or sharing. Food quality is good and their is a variety of dishes available.

Alumni/Alumna

Alumni network is very good. College does have a proper student alumni interaction. There are several sessions. Alumni contribute a lot for overall development of the college.

Exam Structure

There are only two exams in one semester. Exams count 60-70% towards your final grade. So exams are much important here in this institute. Rest 20-30% depend on tutorials and labs.

Faculty

Teachers holding Masters and Doctorate degrees are involved in teaching. Interaction between students and teachers is good. You get to learn a lot more than just the subject. Teachers take care of each and every student. Labs and tutorials help a lot in practical development of students. Use of modern technologies has improved teaching standard a lot.

Syllabus is good, it is very versatile and updated according to the industry standards
The University also has a good events and also a good night life
The infrastructure is very modern with unique outlets to eat in

Dislikes

There is a uniform system which is very bad according to university
Very strict rules regarding in and out of the University
The outlets in university are quite expensive

Course Curriculum Overview:

I would rate the course plan around 7 out of 10 in terms of relevance and depth. I chose this course mainly because it includes core tech subj like DSA, DBMS, OS, AI and cloud, which are useful for jobs in tech field. The presence of lab work and proj based learning also influenced my choice. The curriculum gives a fair base in theory and basic prac skills. It helps in campus place prep and also builds base for higher study like MTech or MS. But real world skill still depends a lot on self study, online course and side proj. Some topics feel updated, but a few subj are still too theory heavy and not linked to real case use. Exams are held twice as mid test and once as end term in each sem. There are also quiz, viva and lab eval. The level is moderate. If you attend class and revise notes, it is manageable. For improve, more live proj, hack event, ind visit and case study should be added. Teach method should shift more to code demo and less slide read

Good facilities, really teaches student and give individual attention in class too
Good infrastructure , as it was just built in 2021, the infrastructure is top notch and no complaints about it.
Papers are being checked anonymously, one’s paper can be checked by any teacher in any campus, so no chance of partiality

Dislikes

80% strict attendance criteria other they would not allow to sit in exam
Passing criteria is 40% and grading system is also bery difficult, two D grade is 1 F and more than 2F could lead to year repeat year, not even semster
Alot of assigments, really hectic at times

Placement Experience:

We have avergae package of 12 lpa and 57lpa highest, i am not aware of how mqny placed. As such i have plan to get placed but if things didnt go out as planed then mba or mtech maybe. Our campus just opened recently so there is no much information but our placements are central that means, companies visting mumbai have to visit us too, and u can refer mumbai campus placement for our campus because its counted on central level and not varries campus to campus

PEC Chandigarh Review

I chose this college over other colleges because of the placements. No matter how outdated their curriculum is but this college gives good placements. At my rank this was the best college which was giving an average of package of 12LPA from Production and Industrial Engg. I also wanted to live in a good city so I chose this college. If we talk about the admission process of this college, you have to first appear in JEE Mains. Then you have to apply in JOSAA Counselling. There are 6 rounds in JOSAA in which seat is alloted to the students who have got better ranks. Imo if you are a general category student then you have to score above 96 percentile to get in Production of PEC. If you dont get any seat in JOSAA then there is CSAB also. You might get seat in CSAB rounds...Read More
