PEC Chandigarh Course Admission 2025: Dates, Fees, Eligibility, Application Process, Selection Criteria

Admissions to the Bachelor of Technology (B.Tech) in Computer Science and Engineering at Punjab Engineering College University of Technology (PEC) are primarily based on the JEE Main exam results. The Joint Seat Allocation Authority (JOSAA) and Central Seat Allocation Board (CSAB) counseling processes are used to allocate seats. PEC reserves approximately 50% of the seats for students from Chandigarh and surrounding Tricity areas (Panchkula, Mohali) with further reservations for SC/ST, Gen-EWS, Defence, Sports, and Freedom Fighter categories.

Candidates must secure a rank typically within the top 12,000 to 20,000 in JEE Mains to be eligible for the program, with a general cutoff percentile being above 99 for Computer Science. A minimum of 75% marks in the Class 12 board exams is often required. The admission process involves smooth online procedures followed by on-campus document verification and fee payment. Information regarding application forms, procedures, and timelines is available on the PEC official website.

PEC's location in Chandigarh, along with its strong placement record and extensive alumni network, makes it a favorable choice for many aspiring students, often over nearby NITs or other institutions. Sessions commence post-counseling, with regular assessments throughout the semester.
