Transition from student to confident life

There is lot of internal politics which need to be get rid off in order to take college to next level.

I took AIEEE,state rank was 194 out of 10000 students,I opted for metallurgy.

1st and 2nd year curriculum was hectic in which you have to share classes with other branches also,afterwards it was bit relaxed,one semester includes industrial training which was helpful in providing industrial experience.

College internship was good,i got the oportunity to work in BARC mumbai in corrosion laboratory where I got stipend around 3K and the overall experience was good I got motivated towards research and published one paper in international journal.

Placement is not a problem once you entered into PEC chandigarh,I got three jobs from PEC. One in core field one in IT field and one in consultancy.

We have PECFEST whose annual budeget is around 40 lakhs which is always one of the dominating fest in north india after IIT delhi. Participation of around 50K students is observed every year during PEC fest. Tech fest is also planned every year with participation from near by colleges and schools with attractive prizes for teams performing well in competitions.

Funding was under central government. Fee structure is not that much expensive. When I was studying fee for 1 semester was around 22k which was less expensive as compared to private colleges at that time.

Top three students in any branch used to get 50k scholarship annually. In your first year if you score more than 9 cgpa you will get chance to upgrade to other branch. Loan facilities are easily available from SBI and PNB in college campus.

Speaking about gender ratio it was 30 to 3 in metallurgy as expected in core branches. There were lot of parties between junior's and senior's to increase interaction between them. Lot of cultural societies like press club,dramatics club,music club,robotics club etc. Lot of sports facilities like indoor badminton court. Opportunities to play with nearby colleges.

Hostels was good, everybody has single room plus hostel has lot of facilities like pool,table tennis,common room with carom board etc. All hostels are wifi enabled. hostel rooms are in good condition with personal balcony.

We have Facebook group where we share everything with our senior's and junior's. We have annual alumni meet every year where we discuss how we can contribute for betterment of college.

2 mid semesters carrying around 40 % weightage and internals around 20% and end semester around 40% weightage. Exams are hectic as during mid semesters there will be two exams in a day which is bit hectic but on the other hand your exams are getting over

Faculty was good but there was too much friction between professors. Lab standards was not upto the mark but changes are taking place but very slow. Less motivation for research as a professional carrier.
