PEC Chandigarh, not IIT Chandigarh. Overall college is nice, senior–junior culture is good.
Placements: Most seniors of 3rd year I MET are interned. For CSE, average package is good, like above 15 LPA, percentage is also good, above 90 percent, although placements were still going on. The highest package is 62 LPA, from both CSE and ECE branch. Internship stats for CSE is good, the highest is around 1.5 LPA for a month, and the percentage is like 70–80 percent.
Infrastructure: Buildings are okay, Wi-Fi is unusable in hostels, resources in library are great, labs are average too. Mess is okay according to price and PEC market is one of the highlight points of college, it’s very good. Medical facility is available at PEC market only. Around this time, so many events are there that one doesn't get bored in their college life.
Faculty: Teachers are average. 1-yearite I cannot comment about course relevance. Exam difficulty is mid, but quizzes are congested with assignments and viva, that creates the problem. Maybe, that's a first-year problem, as Saturdays are also working in first year. Grading is affected by attendance too, so one needs to get bored in classes.
Other: Management staff could be of less attitude. Gym is good, sufficient equipments. Fest is okay. Management is like much lazy.

I really like the vibe of the college.
Placements: I am a 1st year student currently. In the year 2025, the maximum package went above 70+ LPA. In the year 2024, the maximum package is approximately 85 LPA by a student of Data Science stream. The best placements are bagged by CSE students. Most students are able to get interns in the 6th semester in major companies such as JP Morgan, etc.
Infrastructure: Wi-Fi isn't very good in some parts of the college, probably due to the walls of Holder building. Other than that, library and labs are in great condition. The lecture halls have good study benches, except those in L-26, L-27, L-28, L-29. The sports are maintained very well.
Faculty: Semester exams are pretty tough, but students still have ample time to prepare for exams while taking part in other activities. All courses are taught thoroughly with multiple books to prepare and refer from. I do feel like some subjects should not be part of the curriculum.

Average could have been better.
Placements: Around 70–80 percent students get placed. The highest package is strong, average is decent, and the lowest is basic. Top recruiters include major IT and core companies. About half the batch gets internships in similar firms, mostly for teach and analyst roles.
Infrastructure: Wi-Fi is decent, labs are well-equipped, classrooms are clean and modern, and the library has enough resources for most courses. Hostel facilities are okay, food is average but manageable, medical support is basic, and sports facilities are good for regular play.
Faculty: Teachers are supportive and knowledgeable, and the teaching quality is solid. The curriculum is mostly relevant with decent industry focus. Semester exams are moderate tough but fair, and most students clear them with consistent study. At the end, you have to rely on yourself only.
Other: I chose this course for the technical depth and career scope. The best parts are the hands-on labs and strong peer group. Curriculum pace and industry exposure could improve. Fests are lively, crowd is friendly, campus is well-connected, and extracurricular are active.

Faculty: Teachers are well qualified with B.Teach, M.Teach, PhDs in their respective subject. Some are good at teaching, but some are not good at clearing concepts. Exams are quite easy and good for curriculum with good industry ready. Semester exams are quite good here.

Honest review about placements and college life in PEC Chandigarh.
Placements: I am in Computer Science branch, currently in 1st year, and currently we have achieved 90 percent placements in our branch. The highest package this year is around 53 LPA, average is around 16 LPA, and the lowest is between 5 to 6 LPA. One of the top recruiting companies this time is JP Morgan. Top roles such as SDE are offered by the companies.
Infrastructure: College has poor infrastructure, especially Shivalik hostel. Wi-Fi in the classrooms is very slow and jammers are installed in the classrooms. Library is well maintained and large enough for the students to study there with proper facilities like AC, charging ports, and good internet connectivity. College has all types of labs required for the course. College has many grounds for different sports, a swimming pool, and a gymnasium. For medical facilities, we have a dispensary inside the campus. Food quality of mess is average and of canteen is good.
Faculty: Teachers are helpful and qualified enough, but they don't teach so deeply in the first year as the subjects in first year are not related to core. So, even students don't care much about those subjects. The course is relevant and makes the students industry ready. Semester exams are doable as far as difficult is concerned. There is relative grading, which makes scoring a CG like 9 competitive.
Other: Scholarships are only available for those who belong to a family whose annual income is very less. Computer Science is the best course in this college than any other branch as far as placements are concerned. This year's fest is very average as the main event got cancelled due to some issues with the management. Overall, hostel life and campus are very enjoyable. Clubs are active, so there is no dearth of extra-curricular activities in campus.
