My college is the best.

Placements: Placements are comparable to many top NITs. Placements are kind of nice compared to the rank you can get here. Almost 80 percent of students got placed from this college. Top recruiters are JP Morgan, Samsung, Apple, Google, etc. An electronics engineer is a role offered in my course.

Infrastructure: There are various mechanical engineering laboratories which are fully Wi-Fi and have ACs. There are various hostels in PEC for boys and girls. Food is kind of good and the rooms are okayish. There is a dispensary in the PEC market for medical purposes. There are various grounds in college like athletics, football, basketball, and cricket grounds.

Faculty: Teachers are qualified from various top colleges like NITs, IITs, and many foreign universities. The curriculum is relevant apart from some old courses such as ed. There is no difficulty in passing the exam. The students can pass the exam by studying one week before the exams.

Other: Due to my passion for mechanical I chose this course. PEC organises PEC fest every year which is one of the biggest fest in North India. There are also many other fests organised, including a startup fair, summit, trivium, etc.

This is a really good college. Its Mechanical Engineering department is better than some NITs.

The average package is 11.44 LPA, and the highest package is 23.50 LPA. Placements have been good so far, and students are happy with their placements.

Faculty: Professors are really good, and discipline is well maintained. Semester exams are manageable. The pass percentage is around 20–30% per subject, which is easy to maintain. The course curriculum is relevant and helps a lot with future projects. Students can also pursue studies beyond the course curriculum on their own.

Other: I am a first-year student, my overall experience so far has been good. Students also get good exposure through club activities.

PEC Chandigarh is a college with a history and optimism.

Placements: I have taken into account placements of the ECE branch, as placements in VLSI would be similar, if not better, than ECE. For the 2024–25 session, around 75–80% of students got placed. Top core electronics companies that visited include Tata Electronics, Texas Instruments, Micron Technology, Cadence Design Systems, and Qualcomm. Software and finance companies like American Express, PhonePe, Uber, Flipkart, Goldman Sachs, and UKG also visited for core electronics, SDE, and analyst roles. The highest package for ECE was 61 LPA offered by Uber, the lowest was 3.30 LPA, and the average was 16 LPA.

Infrastructure: For VLSI, there is a Semiconductor Research Centre where chip fabrication is even done, inaugurated by the Defence Minister. There is also a 5G lab, which has been ranked among the top 100 labs in the country, so in electronics, good lab facilities are not an issue. Classrooms are old (the college was established in 1921), but the new academic block is decent. Hostels are okay for first year. Students are allocated to Shivalik hostel, where A and B blocks are very old, but C block is modern. Food is decent, and a dispensary is also available.

Faculty: Some teachers are great, while some are average. Most electronics and CSE professors are decent. For VLSI, the syllabus is relevant and industry-oriented. Mid-semester and end-semester exams are quite difficult, but one can still achieve a good CGPA without extreme stress. The academic workload is well managed.

Other: I had a rank of 24992, and this was the best option I had. PEC is a great college with a notable history and good location. I hope the infrastructure improves further as constant development is ongoing. The annual fest PECFEST is very grand. The crowd is decent and smart. The college offers almost all major sports like cricket, football, badminton, and tennis. Merit-cum-need scholarships are also available.

Genuine review of Punjab Engineering College.

Placements: I am from the Computer Science and Engineering branch of Punjab Engineering College, Chandigarh. Placements in our college are handled by CDGC (Career Development and Guidance Centre) which actively coordinates with the students. A good percentage of students get placed every year with an average package of 16 LPA. Many reputable companies visit the campus for hiring.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure of our college is above average especially for the Computer Science department. There are well-furnished and air-conditioned classrooms in the department. There are a lot of well-equipped labs, Wi-Fi, library, reading halls, market, and canteens on the campus and grounds for each sport. The hostels are a bit old but new ones are getting better.

Faculty: The teachers at Punjab Engineering College are qualified and knowledgeable with strong academic expertise in various domains. They are supportive and open to solving doubts and even guiding the future. The courses at college cover all the core subjects but students must put in effort to self-study and self-exploration. Semester exams are moderately difficult and are conducted twice a semester with grading being relatively lenient which gives a relaxation to students.

Other: There are many technical and cultural societies and clubs where students can join, explore new options, meet new people, and grow. There are a lot of sports facilities and grounds for every sport. There are several club events and sports tournaments throughout the year. The one to watch is PEC fest which is the annual cultural and technical festival of the college held each year in November.
