What Students Say

Likes

The pec market where you can have your all daily requirements like stationary, food, grocery, sbi bank also, Nescafe ,..etc
You can rest in library in your free time in AC
College located in city so markets are near

Dislikes

Education system is so bad here they just send you from here to there like the banks does.
No president system here so college do there dictatorship.
And college is not that big half of college covered by residential area.

Course Curriculum Overview

Some subjects are not even related to the sourse like I applied for civil engineering but I have to study 1 other course subject which is not useful for me in future they don't even ask us. Semester ends in 4 months and midsem exam done in 3 days with 2 exams per day and in endsems it ends in 1 week.

Class Size: 132Course Fees: INR 86000 per year

Internships Opportunities

2.5

6th semester is internship semester and many big companies visit here as I already said this college is only good for its placement and internship because it's 100 years old college and have good reputation. We have 1 minor project and 2 major projects in our degree.

Placement Experience

From 7th semester you are eligible for campus placement. Mostly all big companies you heard of, visit here like Amazon, apple, Microsoft,... because it's a 100 years old college, and this college is only good because of its college placements. More than 50 to 60 percent get placed but it differs by branch you can detailed information on pec.ac.in After degree I'm going for ese exams preparation.

Fees and Financial Aid

For general students per semester fees is 86000 but it increases every new year, for category students 86000 for 1 semester and for other 6000. Scholarship are available for those have financial issues. Scholarship amount provided based on your requirements. There is no college employment.

Campus Life

2.5

There are many clubs and societies because it's a 100 years old college so we have many clubs and societies even NCC. Our main fest in PECFEST happens every year and best in North after IIT Delhi. For 1st year classes are modern but after 1st year classes are old school type. Sports like basketball, badminton, volleyball, football and many more available here. We have one athletics day every year. Every group have there head and there are 4th year students.

Admission

Jee mains students who clear the cut off here are eligible. All necessary information available on pec.ac.in site. Reservation benefits are applicable here in cutoff and fees. Difficulty level of exams depends on professors, and exams time is very short not good they just finish the exams without any breaks. Admission here is easy because it's not nit or iit it's GFTI

Chitkara University - Everything You wanna know about

Likes

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

Likes

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
