Remarks

I applied for IIEST, Chibpur and Punjab Engineering College, Chandigarh. I got admission to PEC, Chandigarh as it was the better one out of the two in Aerospace Engineering. I belong to the general category and hence fall in the unreserved section. The admission is based on JEE Mains marks and rank. The admission was handled by JOSSA which is the counselling organisation of the central government.

Course Curriculum Overview

The course curriculum was adequate for most of the subjects. Few teachers did put in the effort to update us on the latest and relevant topics. All the professors were masters in aerospace and a few with PhD in their respective specialisation. The faculty to student ratio has improved since the time I joined the college. Exams were held every 2 months with a quiz every 2 weeks. We also had several projects and assignment every 2 weeks.

Class Size: 30Course Fees: INR 130000 per year

Internships Opportunities

There is no internship availabe in college for students of the college. The students are required to carry out two projects. Minor project in 3rd year and major project in 4th year. The students are expected to carry out the project in their respective branch.

Placement Experience

Students have 2 opportunities at placements. In 5th semester students are allowed to sit for placements for an internship which is for 6 months and is the 6th semester of college. In the 7th and 8th semester, students are allowed to sit for their final placements.

Fees and Financial Aid

There was no fee hike during my degree. I was not eligible for any scholarship but there was a scholarship provided for every brach topper and branch topper among girls. There were other several scholarships provided on a different basis. Financial Assistance was provided to students during the pandemic as their parents were not able to pay the fees. It was a crowdfunded effort as several alumni and students contributed to the fund.

Campus Life

There is an annual PECFEST which is both the technical and cultural fest for our college. PECFEST is usually held during September and is one of the largest college fest in north India. The library is pretty up to date and has several books although few in number. Classroom are equipped with projectors and AC.

Hostel Facilities

Hostels are pretty outdated and are in a bad shape. The facility is not regularly cleaned which is one of the major reason for the state of the hostel. The meal are planned well with respect to calories intake needed.

Hostel Fee: INR 120000 per year

My review of PEC Chandigarh

Course Curriculum Overview:

For improvement in teaching methods, they can go digital, like using smartboards, or use more practical teaching methods, or maybe just improve the way of teaching simply. Teaching methods here really need upgrades, mostly students here have to rely on youtube when exams come near.

Pec is still worth it

Placement Experience:

The placements have been lowered by 10-20% recently, but they are getting better. You will get a job if you manage cgpa above 7 and are decent with your skills, but then don't dream for 20lpa + jobs, you need to work upon yourself in silence to get 25-50 lpa packages and they do happen in our colleges, highest package in electrical 2024-25 was 52 lpa and in ece cse they had 61 lpa. Companies start coming in 3rd year for internships, only 10% manage to get intern in 3rd year, companies like microsoft, atlassian, flipkart, mercedes, jp morgan etc. they do come. Placement perecentage is like 75-80% in electrical and it is very low in civil (around 40-50%), in cse it is like 90% or even higher. My plan is to get an intern asap. (Maybe in 2nd year theough offcampus)

I chose this college because of the fees and legacy of college, it is more than 100 years old and everyone in the industry knows about it, the fees is low compared to others. the campus is decent 150 acres which is comparatively better than other government colleges (though if u want better campus and can pay high, go for thapar). I applied to thapar, IIITs but at the end chose here. I was rejected from NIT delhi due to rank (college tag is more valuable of NIT). Admission process is only through josaa and csab, only online (after jee mains). And cse at pec is very popular, along with ece....Read More
