TAMANJYOT's Review On Punjab Engineering College University Of Technology - [PEC], Chandigarh

JEE (MAINS), Score-169 Rank-24137 I had an early interest in Aerospace Engineering and I got admission in PEC with Aerospace, I am pretty much satisfied with it.

Course structure seems more of Application oriented rather than Research oriented. It seems good. But if you want to go in research field then there are many opportunities for all aerospace students to go for research. Because of location you can attend many seminars which are conducted in Chandigarh occasionally.

I don't know much about stipend or overall experience. But college does provide internship. And most probably in 6th semester but I don't know much about internships.

For Aerospace there is not much placement offers. Only 3 out of 25 students were placed last year. The reason behind this is majority of students pursued for higher studies. And only 5 applied for placements out of which 3 were placed. Companies in which they were placed were ZS associates, JP Morgan.

The largest fest after that of IITD is PECFEST which was conducted this year on 8-10 October. It had 3 days of celebration as it was PEC's 95th year. Participation in it is said to be of nearlu 15-20K which i'm not sure if but as I experienced PECFEST' 16 I would say that it could be as stated above.

As even fees of IITs also jumped last year , fees of every engineering seem to be expensive but I would say comparing with other good colleges fees of PEC is feasible. Semester fees for 1st sem is 69250 and for second sem is 55250. Which goes on decreasing every next sem.

Scholarships for Economically Weaker section, for minority, SC and ST students is provided by college. College also provide Merit based scholarship.

Exams were conducted on consecutive days (end term) Whereas mid terms were conducted 2 on each day. So yes exam days were hectic. But other days were chilled out as in 1st sem as i remember we had only 22 hours/week which i would say were so chilled out.

Admission process was nicely organised. I got admission in Spot Round on 8th of August whereas orientation was on 31 July, so i missed orientation but seniors were very helpful to let me know college properly. Administration was also good. And there was 1 good point that after each round of Counselling you can change choices that you filled.

Faculty is not upto the mark but atlast it is OK. As stated by many seniors, Faculty is not as expected. But when u personally met a professor to clear some numerical doubts I got to know they are not as bad as seniors told us. So all in all they are OK but at last it depends upon you that you study properly or not.
