Punjab Engineering College Chandigarh review.
Placements: In Industrial and Production Engineering, there are a total of 30 students, out of which 21 are placed last year. The average package is around 13 LPA, the highest is 20.85 LPA, and the lowest is 3.3 LPA. Maximum students are placed in consultancy firms, while some students from production and other branches prepare for the CAT exam. About 30 percent of the students get internships from my course.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure of PEC Chandigarh is decent. First-year classrooms have AC, and the Computer Science department and ECE department also have AC. Wi-Fi is good. The infrastructure of labs is decent; some lab machines are old, while some have new machines. The library is good, and all types of books are available. Hostels are average but quite costly compared to other NITs. The mess is decent, and there is no hostel canteen. For medical facilities, there is a dispensary in PEC market where you can get medicines. Sports facilities are good, and all types of grounds are available, such as cricket, athletics, volleyball, squash court, etc.
Faculty: In the first year, I don’t have much idea about professors of my core subjects, but first-year teachers are good and qualified. The curriculum is good, and all important subjects and practical's are included. It makes us industry-ready. Semester exams are moderate. Around 30 marks are required to avoid a back in each subject.

Review of Punjab Engineering College, Chandigarh.
Placements: About 70 percent of students got placed on campus, and multiple PPOs are offered. The off-campus data is not shared with the students. Overall, it has decent placements. The highest package is 20.90 LPA. The lowest package is 3.60 LPA. The average package is 11 LPA.
Infrastructure: Hostels are just good enough for surviving. However, rooms are pretty small for two students, and only one table is provided in a room of two. The tennis table is broken and the snooker room is non-functional. The mess food is good for mess standards, but definitely not of top quality.
Faculty: Mostly, teachers are not interested in teaching properly, but if we go up to them and ask doubts, they will help us. They won't be very helpful otherwise. It's very hard to understand what they are teaching in classes (the same is in most colleges), so ChatGPT will help us a lot.

It has strong academics, supportive faculty, good placements and comfortable campus life.
Placements: I am currently pursuing B.Tech in Computer Science Engineering, and my batch will graduate in the year 2029. The overall focus of our course was on practical learning and coding skills. Based on the previous passing out batch, almost 85 percent of students got placed in the same course. According to the placement data, the highest package offered in the last batch was around 61.03 LPA. The lowest package was close to 10 LPA, and the average package ranges from 16-17 LPA. Some top companies that visited the campus for the last batches included Google, JP Morgan, Goldman Sachs, Oracle, Amazon, and Microsoft.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure for our course is good and designed to support practical learning. We have well-equipped computer labs, high-speed internet, and updated software tools that help us in coding and project work. Hostel facilities are decent and well-managed. Rooms are clean and have basic furniture like beds, study tables, and cupboards. The canteen and mess food is simple and hygienic.
Faculty: Faculty members in our course are very supportive and focused on practical learning. Most teachers have a good academic background and industry experience, which helps in understanding real examples during classes. The course curriculum is designed to build strong fundamentals in computer science. Semester exams are moderately difficult. Questions in exams mostly come from the syllabus taught in class, along with practical applications.

Amazing college with top-tier placements, good academic environment, and a nice atmosphere.
Placements: I study Electrical Engineering. The placement is still going on, and it is amazing. Top companies like Oracle, Apple, American Express, and Nvidia have also visited the campus. Some of our 3rd-year seniors have even bagged internships in companies like Texas Instruments and Flipkart. Some have also bagged PPOs in top startups like PhonePe. Companies like JPMorgan and Microsoft also visit the campus in their placement grounds every year. The placements in electrical are really good, with previous years seeing 52 LPA, the highest package in electrical, with a median of around 12 LPA and an average of around 13 LPA.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure can surely be better. However, it is still manageable, with labs being allotted for every course. We have regular lab classes, promoting hands-on learning. The food quality is okay, and the hostel is also okay. Sports facilities are really good, with football, cricket, volleyball, basketball, lawn tennis, and badminton courts. It also has a great gym. I would say that PEC Chandigarh has a really good atmosphere.
Faculty: The teachers are all Ph.D. scholars. They have great experience. They are extremely knowledgeable. The teaching quality was pretty good for the most part, with some classes being pretty boring, just like any other engineering college. The course curriculum is relevant enough, and it is evident if we look at the placements. It surely makes the students industry-ready. The semester exams are pretty conceptual. They are not tough, but they can only be solved by people who have really understood the concepts.
Other: I chose this course because I liked Physics and math. The electrical Engineering has a lot of that. This course is evergreen, yet quite challenging. It is never going to die. I would like the course to be a little more up-to-date. The events and fests are really good. Top singers like Sunidhi Chauhan and Asees Kaur have performed at PEC Chandigarh in the past.
