3Placements4Infrastructure4Faculty3Crowd & Campus Life4Value for Money

It's a good college for graduation and further studies.

Placements: Many students from our course got placed, but not all. Some didn't get placed, but many did. The companies came for placements and offered some jobs. The highest salary was high, and the lowest was not much. The average was somewhere in between. Some companies that came were good, like Infosys, TCS, and others. Students got selected in different companies depending on what they wanted. Internships were also done by many students, but not everyone did them. Some got it on their own, and others from college. The companies for internships were mostly the same as for placements.

Infrastructure: Our department is well-equipped with modern infrastructure and facilities that enhance both academic learning and practical exposure. All classrooms are spacious, smart-enabled, and fully air-conditioned, with high-speed Wi-Fi connectivity ensuring seamless access to digital learning resources. The department has well-maintained laboratories with updated equipment and software that cater to various practical and research needs of the students. Additionally, the central library is a valuable resource, housing a vast collection of textbooks, reference books, journals, and online databases. For recreation and physical well-being, the campus has dedicated space for various sports and games, including cricket, football, volleyball, basketball, etc.

Faculty: The faculty in our department is highly qualified, experienced, and extremely supportive. Most professors hold advanced degrees such as PhDs and have rich academic as well as industry backgrounds. They are approachable and always willing to help students, whether it's related to academics, projects, or career guidance. The teaching quality is good, with a strong focus on both theoretical concepts and practical applications. Teachers often use interactive methods, case studies, presentations, and industry examples to make learning more engaging and effective.

Other: I have chosen this course just to complete my graduation. The classroom can be improved further.

2Placements4Infrastructure4Faculty4Crowd & Campus Life5Value for Money

A growing campus with good placements and supportive faculty members.

Placements: Placements in our college were quite good, especially for students from the computer science and IT branches. Many reputed companies like Infosys, TCS, Wipro, Capgemini, Accenture, and HCL visit our campus every year for recruitment. Some product-based companies also come, offer higher packages, though they usually select few students. The average package offered was around 4 LPA to 5 LPA, while the highest salary was 15 LPA, depending on the company. The placement rate was also decent, with a majority of eligible students getting placed, particularly in IT roles.

Infrastructure: Infrastructure of our college was quite good and well-maintained. Campus had a clean and green environment with good classroom facilities, proper lighting, and ventilation. Most of the classrooms were equipped with projectors and Wi-Fi connectivity. Computer labs were updated with the required software and decent internet speed, especially for students from technical branches. Library was spacious and had a good collection of textbooks, reference materials, and journals. There was also a digital library section for online resources. Apart from academics, the college also provided sports facilities, a cafeteria, and medical services.

Faculty: Faculty members in our course were generally well-qualified and supportive. Most of them had good knowledge of their subjects and tried to explain concepts clearly during lectures. Some teachers were very interactive and made the classes interesting, while a few still followed the traditional teaching methods. The curriculum was mostly updated as per the university guidelines and included both theoretical and practical subjects. It covered the core topics of our branch along with electives, but sometimes it feels like more industry-relevant topics could be added.

Best college in Ludhiana city.

Placements: Placements in our college are said to be very good. Many senior and graduated students have been placed at big companies like Sun Pharma. They also have a training cell for placement interviews, so that we can be selected in that interview and get a good job.

Infrastructure: Classrooms are very big and clean. Regularly, maid staff clean classrooms daily. Every classroom has SMART board along with a projector. Washrooms are also cleaned and well maintained regularly. Infrastructure of this college is very good. I love it.

Faculty: Teachers are very helpful for exams. They provide notes if we need them, otherwise they teach well and clear all our doubts. They also share answer keys of mid-semester exams after the exams are over. They also share answers sheet so that we can understand our mistakes.

Other: I chose this course because I want to go into business line via manufacturing of drugs and medicine. This is the best college in Ludhiana.

Bachelor of Pharmacy (B.Pharm.) - Batch of 2027

5Placements5Infrastructure5Faculty5Crowd & Campus Life5Value for Money

PCTE Group of Institutions - The best college.

Placements: My course is B.Pharma. In one batch, there are 100 students. They provide an internship after completing 3rd year of B.Pharma for 45 days in many pharma industries. Also, provide the placement with a good package, like 60 LPA in foreign countries. Internship is compulsory for every student, and they provide placement for many students.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure of campus 1 and campus 2 of PCTE is very nice. Classrooms, labs, and the library are very neat and clean. College also provides Wi-Fi facilities. In campus 2, there are 7 or 8 canteens where the food is mouth-watering. I'm on campus 1, and there are also some canteens. In the hostel, food and rooms are very clean.

Faculty: Faculty members are very helpful, qualified, and knowledgeable. Their teaching method is very amazing and interesting. In PCTE, there are 4 labs in a week and 3 classes in a day. It's necessary for every student to perform at least one experiment in every lab. Exams are neither too easy nor too difficult. Pass percentage for B.Pharma students is 50 out of 100.

Other: I chose this course in order to become a pharmacist. The best things about my course are that provides the placement in our dream company. The annual function of PCTE is Kosish, where many competitions are held, such as inter-college, inter-school, etc. They also provide scholarships to some students.

Good college, but I think teachers should try to speak Punjabi.

Placements: Excellent college with the highest package of 40 LPA and the lowest around 4 LPA. There were various companies like Tata Motors and AI companies.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure is very good. I loved the college infrastructure. Many foreign students were living there. There were special arrangements for them. They had sports events in which they participated and enjoyed a lot. They enjoyed their life in our college. I think you must have tried it. I loved the college, but the buildings were becoming old and dusty. Anyways, my college was good.

Faculty: Teachers were well-qualified. The course curriculum was relevant. There were a lot of difficulties in the semester exams. They were slightly tough, and the questions were sometimes very difficult. Because of that, some students like me suffered a lot in college.

Other: I had an interest in sales, and my brother was also a businessman, so I was interested in it.

It has good infrastructure. I had a quite good experience. Life with friends is amazing here.

Placements: There are about 50 students in my batch. No average package is given in my course even though they didn't even care for Diploma batch students and that's very disappointing. Every degree or Diploma is the same. There is something in everything from which we can learn.

Infrastructure: Wi-Fi is available but it is not for students. Labs, classrooms, and the library are nice. The infrastructure is good. Many facilities are available. The mess food is nice and it is available daily for even foreign students also. Many sports and games are available.

Faculty: Some teachers are helpful. They are even of a kind nature but some are rude. This college can give us very much confidence that can make us industry-ready. Semester exams are quite average in difficulty level. Passing marks in final exams is 40 per subject.

Other: The one thing I want to improve about this course is to be value. Events, fests, and all things are very much appreciated. It can build our confidence to the next level. We get many other opportunities from time to time. It arranges field visits for us which is exciting. There are many clubs which we can join according to our interests.
