Since then, it has continued to excel in the field of education. It has been awarded 30 national & international awards of repute and has been making it to the list of top-ranked colleges by various national magazines and journals, including Outlook, Business India, AIMA, etc. We were involved in multiple activities like games, exercises, workshops like RAWAR, Consumer Hub to name a few. Not only that, but we also had multiple co-curricular activities to participate in, be it stage events, literary events, or creative, which made me more confident. PCTE also provides great placement opportunities as well where the maximum package offered was 15 LPA and the average is 6.5 LPA.
