Course Curriculum Overview
The course keeps doors to both core and tech industry open post completion. Curriculum is at par with the industry requirements Teaching methods could be improved with newer teaching methodoligies and the need of renewing the lab apparatus is urgent Exams are held every 2-2.5 months and they are fairly difficult
Placement Experience
PEC is renowned for its placements.. PEC has managed to maintained its placement statistics in times when top tier colleges are struggling to provide decent placement opportunities Some of the visiting companies include JP Morgan, Texas Instruments, PhonePe, Microsoft, Apple (TWICE), Amazon, VISA and AmericanExpress.. offers made by each company vary Highest ever package was 83 LPA (CTC) and aveage package is approx 15.5 LPA (CTC) Approx 95% of the students appearing for placements get placed I plan to either persue Masters or sit for placements after getting the degree
Fees and Financial Aid
Tuition Fee -> 176000 Hostel Fee -> 77500 (including mess) One Time Fee -> 19000 (includes caution fee and admission fee) There are financial concessions and waiver offs for EWS and SC/ST students .. additonally scholarships (merit cum need) are given to deserving students. There is arrangement for education loans as well
Campus Life
PECFEST is the annual fest of the college.. there are no separate technical and annual fests. It is typically held in the first 15 days of November each year The library has a vast stock of all the course relevant books as well as other literature books Most classrooms are fitted with projectors and air conditioners (working) All sports (cricket, football, tennis, squash, swimming, etc.) are available and teams of all these sports are present.. other extracurricular activities include oratory, photography, art among others Several student run clubs including Oratory and Quizzing club (SAASC), charity club (ROTARACT), Art and Photography (APC), Entrepreneurship and Incubator (EIC) etc are pretty active throughout the year
Admission
I applied to NIT Delhi, NIT Jalandhar, UIET Panjab University and TIET Patiala. I got admitted to NIT Delhi Mechanical, UIET Data Science and TIET Computer Engg. I chose PEC over the other two due to its combined post graduation ROI and the fact that PEC is a govt institution and and TIET isnt.. i prefer govt colleges over pvt ones I didnt get into NIT Jalandhar as i didnt meet the cutoff requirements for the courses i applied for there College admissions at PEC take place on basis of merit generated for JEE scores
Faculty
The faculty of the institution are friendly and helpful on an average.. some of them are irritable and not so helpful to students Some renowned faculties include Dr. Shimi (Electrical Dept.) and Dr. Sanjay Batish (CSE Dept.) who have received laurels at the national and state level No particular faculties i didnt like There are 2 major exams per semester with 2-3 short quizes, all of them graded. Assignments are given at regular intervals. There arent a lot of failures.. People who do receive backs in any subject are able to clear them in the next attempt. The course curriculum is relevant in 95% of the places.. in subjects like engineering drawing, outdated methods are taught which arent that prominent and in-demand in the industry
Other Applied Colleges
National Institute of Technology - [NIT] | Bachelor of Technology [B.Tech] (Mechanical Engineering)
Mechanical was a relatively newer course in the college and there werent any placement statistics available as the first mechanical hadnt passed out that time
Thapar Institute of Engineering and Technology - [Thapar University] | Bachelor of Engineering [BE] (Computer Engineering)
Preferred a govt college over private
