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

Infrastructure: Labs are really good. The Strength of Materials lab has most of the machines required for the study. The lab equipment is also good.

PEC Chandigarh is a college with a history and optimism.

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. Foo...

Genuine review of Punjab Engineering College.

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.

Satisfied with the college because it gives us all the facilities.

Infrastructure: Full college Wi-Fi all over the campus. Labs are well-maintained, and the overall college infrastructure is average. There is a decent library with full facilities. Classrooms are very good, and the whole college is fully air-conditioned. Hostels are average, and food quality is also average, as in all NITs or other colleges. A medical dispensary is also available on campus. All types of sports and grounds are available with decent facilities, and there is also a gym.

Peaceful life at Punjab Engineering College, Chandigarh.

Infrastructure: Pretty campus, AC's in almost all classes except the old classrooms. For hostels, there are many restrictions. For girls, no one is allowed outside after 9, for boys, it’s a bit lenient. Clean rooms with windows. Boys’ hostel lacks a laundry though. A few small adjustments will have to be made.

Infrastructure: Personally, I feel the infrastructure is quite updated and should be replaced, and development is ongoing. Everything a student needs is present on the campus. I like the library, computer labs, and reading area. The classrooms are equipped with smart projectors, and Wi-Fi is available throughout the building.

Truth about the infrastructure of PEC, Chandigarh.

Infrastructure: Classes lack Wi-Fi and internet connectivity due to jammers installed in the classes. The library is well-equipped with all the necessary facilities and Wi-Fi connectivity. The infrastructure of classes and labs is a bit too old. The facilities of the hostel are also just enough to survive, and the food quality is average. The canteen food is good. The college has enough facilities for endorsing sports and games.

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

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.

Review of Punjab Engineering College, Chandigarh.

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.

It has strong academics, supportive faculty, good placements and comfortable campus life.

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.

Amazing college with top-tier placements, good academic environment, and a nice atmosphere.

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.

PEC is one of the top colleges in India. We have to get a great percentile in JEE Main.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure is a bit old because the college itself is old. The food is above average. The PEC market is the best. Sports and facilities here are very good. I would rate the college 4 out of 5 stars. It is one of the top colleges in the whole country.
