PCTE Group of Institutes is good for completing your future career.

Placements: 80% of students are placed in my course. The highest package of this course is 14 LPA, and the lowest package is about 2.5 LPA. High-five star hotels recruit for this course. 30 to 40 present students get jobs in foreign countries like Dubai, Singapore, Italy, and 5-star rating hotels in India, such as Taj, etc. In this course, we get jobs in the kitchen department, housekeeping department, food and production department, in airports, exceptions in hotels, jobs in cafeterias, and we can open our own restaurant or hotels, etc.

Infrastructure: All facilities in this college are very amazing. We have good Wi-Fi speed in classrooms. Good air conditioning classes. We have clean rooms and a clean and polite library. Hostels are closer to the college, easy to travel to, just next to the road to the college, about a 5 to 10-minute walk. We have 6 to 7 cafeterias in our college and have one Indian Angethy in our HM wing.

Faculty: Teachers are very polite and helpful. Having a friendly and supportive nature. Helps in MSE’S and makes the students perfect for our exams. They make students industry-ready for their best future. Minimum 12 marks needed for passing the exam. Finals are of 30 marks written and 70 marks are for practical.

Other: I chose this course because I feel like I am good for this industry. I am capable of the Hotel Industry. Our college has strict rules of 75% attendance, otherwise, they would not allow us to sit in the examinations. I think this is a little tough for us to complete, otherwise, everything is very perfect in this college and the course.

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.

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.
