Course Curriculum Overview

5

It is Pec . Undoubltably one of the best colleges in India . So the Curriculum has to be fine . Which turned out to be true . I will say , according to me the curriculum is designed pretty well for real world applications . The only area of improvement that I want to say is , the faculties should be a little more enthusiastic about teaching . The course is actually very fast , so that's kind of a problem . Otherwise it's fine

Internships Opportunities

5

I am only in 1st year so dont know too much about this stuff . but as far as I know , all kinds of internships are available from here . Even internatinal level fully funded internships are given . So if someone is interested in internships , PEC is like heaven as they gives you a lot of time too do internships .

Placement Experience

5

placement stats of my college is great. Better than most of the colleges out there . Even better than many NITs and IIITs , with an avg package of 14-16 LPA . And every year the Median and Avg package is increasing . Highest package till now - 83 LPA . Students are allowed for campus placements after 5th semister All the big companies out there , from Google , microsoft , amazon to Delloete , JP Morgan , AmericanExpress , to seimens, oracle , L&T , all companies come here . around 70-75% students gets placed from here My plan is to get the highest paying job offer possible for me , that's it .

Fees and Financial Aid

Admission fees - 49000 rs Hostel allotment fees - 81000 rs ( for 1 year ) mess fees - 30000 rs ( 1 year ) semister fees - 96000 rs total fees of 1 year approximately - 2.5 lakhs . Grand total fees of B.Tech of 4 years - approx 12 Lakhs the fees generally increases 10% every year , in compound rate . There are Scholarship available , but not officially given by the instititute itself .

Campus Life

5

The campus life depends heavily on the person . Me as a student , i am not at all interested in anything other than academics . So for me it does not matter really . But for others , the campus life is pretty good . There are markets inside , outside . Its chandigarh , so city life is also fine . So it's great for social aspects . There are more than 20 clubs . Both technical and non Technical . Each of the clubs are run by students and the head of the clubs are a professor. Infrastructure provided is enough for all club activities . ---------------------------------------------- The main fest done here is known as PECFEST . This is ususally held in November . some other fests are also hold , but they are done in a much smaller scale . if we talk about library , the library here is also very big , well maintained , has all kinds of books , but predomiinantly academics related , fully AC , and great for studying classrooms are fully equiped with all the mordern devices , from AC to Smart board Almost all kinds of sports are played here , with fully equiped sport centre here Extracurriculars are these things only , nothing out of the box

Hostel Facilities

3

The hostel costs 75000 rs each year . which is much expensive comparing to the facilities given . the hostels for 1st years are old and small , each room having 2 beds , 2 almirah for 2 students , and 2 study table . Meal quality is good enough . in menu it mainly includes north Indian food such as rice , roti , paratha , different curries , egg , chicken , veggies , fruits , cornflakes , bread , puri sabzi etc etc . Registration for hostel is done during offline accomodation . The money has to Drafted from your account to the warden's . I wont say the hostels are that much of affordable . The bathrooms are all clean , but they dont have washing machine . so you gotta do some work there

Admission

after jee I applied to many colleges , such as - PEC , NIT durgapur , IIEST Shibpur , IISER Mohali , IISER Bhopal , NIT Jamshedpur , NIT Patna , NIT Jalandhar , Jadavpur University etc . At last I got PEC in the councelling . I did not choose PEC , the CSAB council only gave this seat . Hence I did not reject any other colleges . Among all the colleges I applied , except IITs and top NITs and JU , PEC was the best college . That's why i choose it . No other reason . I couldn't get into IIT cuz I failed JEE ADV . So I eventually ended up here with my JEE Mains rank . Admission process - Through josaa , csab , dasa . Cutoff varies a lot . for CSE the last rank might be 25k in CSAB . For Metallurgy it can go upto 2 Lakh ranks . Admission process is same as all colleges , online then offline reporting .

Faculty

5

here in PEC , on avg the Faculty: Student ratio is 1:60 as far as I have seen , except 1 or 2 , all of the faculties are highly friendly and fully approachable for any kind of academic problem . I personally liked almost all the faculties . For example Prof. Rajesh Kanda , he is extremely friendly and approachable . He teaches S.O.M and Mechanical engg. He is just an example , I personally loved all the faculties . The pHD faculties are even more friendly . I dont have any faculty that I personally hated . Some of them are not good at teaching , but thats something I cant controll . Every subject has its own quizz , and semister exams , viva etc . There are about 10-12 exams per year . Exams are morderate level , so it's okaish . But cause most people dont study very hard , you can easily be the topper . Our teachers are very advanced , so they always try to teach the relevant topics only .

Interview Experience

5

There were nothing this kind of GD or interview or anything at all . The process was simple and efficient and took around 3 hours , here in the day of physical reporting . All the nessecary details were previously given in the official website only

Night Life

5

The nightlife in the college is safe and fun . arround the college also , you will find everything , plus the transport system is also very well . so thats absolutely fantastic in my opinion . There are gyms outside the campus , inside the campus . Cafe , library , gardens , Sukhna lake , everything in nearby . Hostels has no time limit for boys hostels . Mess gives us food for 4 times a day . And the quality is pretty good .

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.

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)
