B.Tech. in Materials and Metallurgical Engineering - Batch of 2029

My college review, the one and only Punjab Engineering College, Chandigarh.

Placements: College is good with lots of great opportunities. I am currently in my first year in the metallurgy branch. I will be passing out in 2029. The top recruiting companies are Google, Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan, etc. The highest package is 77 LPA, and the lowest is 3.5 LPA. While the average is 13 LPA.

Infrastructure: Hostel facilities are not good, with decent infrastructure and a lack of facilities. Although the college is reputable, the infrastructure is not up to the mark, and Wi-Fi is also good. The library is decent, considering IITs, it is very below average, labs are good, and there are many labs.

The placement rate is gradually improving, but the infrastructure is still average.

Placements: Around 38 percent of students from the Metallurgy branch get placed through on-campus opportunities while the placement rate across the institute is approximately 59 percent. The highest package has gone up to 20 LPA, and the lowest is around 3 LPA. Major recruiters include Tata Steel and Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited (BPCL).

Infrastructure: The labs are generally good, but some machines are not working and need maintenance. The library is well-managed. I don't use the campus Wi-Fi because I already have a 5G mobile network. Classrooms are spacious and comfortable for students. There are around 4 to 5 hostels on campus: Shivalik Hostel, Kurukshetra Hostel, Himalaya Hostel, and Aravali Hostel.

Faculty: The teachers here are helpful, qualified, and knowledgeable. Their teaching quality is good and easy to understand. It's a strong course, and it can't be replaced because the demand for Metallurgy is growing. The semester exams in college aren't very difficult. As for the pass percentage, I'm not sure about it.

PEC, Chandigarh, college.

Placements: Good placement. The highest placement of my branch was around 21 LPA this year, and the placement percentage overall and of my branch also was around 60-70 percent.

Infrastructure: Infrastructure is good. Hostel in first year is Shivalik hostel, it has 3 blocks: A, B, C. C is the best in terms of infrastructure, B has the highest capacity. A is currently under a little bit of construction; some work is going on there. Rest, for boys, there are 4 hostels, and for girls, there are 2.

Faculty: Faculty is highly qualified. Some teachers are strict, some are lenient, which is the scene in every college. You can find some problem in the schedule of the first semester as it is comparatively more hectic, with too many exams, quizzes, and assignments at the same time. Overall good as compared to other private colleges with very much higher fees as compared to this college.

Punjab Engineering College, Chandigarh. A great North Indian college.

Placements: Approximately 80% of the college students in our branch are already placed, including off-campus and on-campus placements. The highest package is 20.85 LPA, the lowest is 8 LPA, and the average is 13.8 LPA. JSW Steel, Tata Steel, JP Morgan, Micron, etc., come to our college for placements and internships. All of these are on-campus placements. Internships are good overall, with percentage of 60% to 70%.

Infrastructure: Our department is very old-fashioned yet has good facilities. The department has classes fully installed with ACs and projectors. Our Wi-Fi runs at a very good pace with a speed of 300-400 Mbps. There are four hostels, divided into two hostels for boys, and two hostels for girls. We have canteens and decent sports facilities. There is a dispensary in our college.

Faculty: Teachers are very cooperative, highly qualified, and graduated from different IITs and great institutes. The semester exams are not very tough, and there is a very less percentage required to pass because there is a grading system that is relatively based on the branch students.

Other: Actually, we get admission through merit based on the exam named JEE Main. Improvement is needed in all ways possible. There is a lovely fest named PECFEST, one of the biggest technocultural fest in North India.

I am satisfied with our seniors.

Placements: Placements are decent. Some top geeks got a salary package of 1.5 CPA off-campus. Top companies like Atlassian, Microsoft, Google, etc., visited our campus and offered a salary package of 80 LPA. It is a domestic offer. Our college provides decent placements. We have a very large and strong alumni network.

Infrastructure: Hostels are not about infrastructure. It's all about with whom you are spending the time. There are only 2-3 triple sharing rooms. All the hostel rooms are double-sharing, so it's not an issue. The hostel allotment is like a lucky draw if you get a C block in the 1st year. The hostel has a D block.

Faculty: Some faculty members are top-notch in our course. They are London, Lunds University Sweden. She got an award from the president. For core, they have top-class qualified professors who have completed their research in ISRO, Bhabha Atomic Research Center and IPER.

Other: I chose this course because the teacher, Uma Batra, is the one who keeps metallurgy and materials strong in PEC.

PEC Chandigarh college review.

Placements: About 35 to 40% of students get placed out of 60, but the placement percentage is about 88% because some students do not sit for placements and go for higher studies like MBA, M.Tech, and even UPSC preparation. The highest package from this year is 22 LPA, and the lowest is 7 LPA. The top roles offered are in the R&D department.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure of the College is decent, but it can be better. Wi-Fi is available on the entire campus, called PEC Wi-Fi, and students study through PPT and whiteboards. There is also a central library that is open until 8 pm. Apart from that, the hostel is pretty average considering they take about 81500 per year, and the room sizes are average in B block Shivalik Hostel, but in C block, the rooms are great. The mess food is just average. There are plenty of sporting clubs and facilities available.

Faculty: The faculty members of our branch are great, they support us in every way possible and ensure that each child gets through the placements. Our HOD, JD, sir, is also a great person. Our faculty members are highly qualified, some are even from IITs. The semester exams are easy if you pull an all nighter one day before the exam. You can finish the entire syllabus, but the stress levels are also high, so I recommend finishing the syllabus at least 1 week before the exams on YouTube.
