The rooms in hostel are good for single occupancy but not for double. We are alloted room on the basis of Google form fillup the first one are given single and other given double and triple sharing room.
Admission
I chose Punjab Engineering College (PEC) over NIT Silchar primarily due to the significant differences in location and placement opportunities. PEC is located closer to my home, ensuring better connectivity and convenience, while NIT Silchar's remote location posed logistical challenges. Additionally, PEC offers a better average placement package, which aligns with my career aspirations. The institute's reputation for providing quality education and exposure further reinforced my decision.
Faculty
The faculty is good of each and every branch. My branch has both new and old professors. There are different tiers of professor in every branch that is assistant professor, associate professor and professor. The faculty to student ratio is good as each branch is divided into 2 groups that is G1 for home state and G2 for Other state. This makes the professor and students interaction smoother and efficient. The assistant and associate professor take lectures of 1st and 2nd year were as professor take lectures of 3rd and 4th year generally. There is relative grading in each course for number of student more than 30 in that branch. There are 2 exams one is mid semester and another is end semester examination Almost every student is passed except 3 to 4
Night Life
The night life is amazing in hostel and in campus. For the fityear students the hostel timming is 10.30 pm and for other years it is 11.30 pm . We have various cafeterias like Nescafe, combo, gyoza. Adding to this we have our PEC market which have every thing available in it whether it be barber, pharmacy, stationary, groceries, cafes. It is open till 10 in the night. During our examination we also have night canteens in our opened till 2 am. The gym is not that good as the badminton court and gym are in same area and gym equipments are outdated. But the sports ground are big and good. The swimming pool is also great. The campus is opened from 8 am to 5 pm and we have classes scheduled in this period. The library is opened till 8pm this is one drawback. But during examination it is open till 12am in night
