B.Tech. in Computer Science Engineering - Batch of 2027

3.8

4Placements3Infrastructure4Faculty5Crowd & Campus Life3Value for Money

Good placements and amazing campus life but the infrastructure needs improvement.

Placements: It belongs to the 2025 passing out batch of B.Tech Computer Science and Engineering. The placement statistics have been quite encouraging this year despite the market shutdown. Approximately 85 percent of students are placed. The highest package offered is 61 LPA while the lowest is 6 LPA. The average package is 16 LPA for circuit branches. Top recruiters include Apple, JP Morgan, Goldman Sachs, and Arcesium. Regarding internships, around 70 percent secured them with as high as 1.5 LPM. Top roles offered are SDE Data Analyst and Cyber Security Analyst. The placement cell is extremely active and brings excellent opportunities.

Infrastructure: Our classrooms are spacious and equipped with projectors, though some older blocks still lack ACs.The library is definitely the highlight, it's fully air-conditioned and has a massive collection of books and this is the go-to spot during exams. The campus-wide Wi-Fi is decent. Labs are well-equipped for the core. Hostel life here is an experience in itself. First year get shiwalik, which is old, and the rooms are compact. The washrooms are average and need frequent maintenance. The mess food is edible but monotonous.

Faculty: The faculty at PEC is a mixed bag, some senior professors are absolute gems with deep knowledge in the core and CSE departments but a few others just stick to slides. You can't rely entirely on classroom teaching, most of us end up studying from YouTube or reference books. The curriculum has been updated recently to include some modern electives, but for placement you need to put extra effort outside the syllabus to be truly industry-ready. As for exams PEC follows a relative grading system which is a blessing and a curse.

Other: I chose PEC primarily for its legacy (more than 100 years old)and its prime location in Chandigarh. The best thing about the course is the flexible academic culture, unlike strict private colleges we get enough time to work on personal skills, coding, or startups. The alumni network is massive and very helpful. The infrastructure needs a serious upgrade, some hostel buildings, Shivalik, are very old, and hygiene can be an issue. I also wish the curriculum were updated faster to include modern tech stacks. Pecfest is the heart of our college life.

3Placements2Infrastructure3Faculty4Crowd & Campus Life2Value for Money

College is fine, but very overhyped.

Placements: PEC provides decent on-campus placement for top branches. CSE, ECE, and EE branches have above-average placement percentages and average packages. Most placements are for SDE, analytics, IT, etc. Roles. Our ECE branch has very few students placed in core electronics, and core placements are on a decline. Further, Other branches like Mechanical, Civil, Aerospace, Production, etc. It has a very low placement rate.

Infrastructure: Infrastructure is bad. The boys' hostel has very small rooms. Hostel food and cleanliness are average. In college, there are multiple dysfunctional labs. The robotics lab has machines which are out of order due to a lack of maintenance. The gym has old-school equipment, including very few weight plates, unlabelled dumbbells, non-adjustable pulleys, and dysfunctional machines.

Faculty: In my first year, I have seen a variety of teachers. Most of them are well qualified. A very few of them teach exceptionally well. Most of them are just like any other teacher, teaching for the sake of course completion. Seniors seem dissatisfied with the faculty.

Other: Campus life is fine. College's location is good and has connectivity with multiple tourist destinations. Further fests/athletic meet/Gurmat Samagan, etc. Keep students engaged and entertained.

Our college is very good.

Placements: I am in the Computer Science branch currently in 1st year, and this year we have got 90 percent placements in the Computer Science branch. The highest package is around 53 LPA, the average package is around 16 LPA-17 LPA, and the lowest is between 5 LPA and 6 LPA. One of the top recruiting companies is JPMorgan. Top roles like SDE are offered by the companies this year.

Infrastructure: The college has a poor infrastructure. The internet in the classrooms is very slow. Jammers are installed in the classes. The library is well-maintained and large enough to study there with facilities like AC, tube-light everywhere, proper charging ports, and proper Wi-Fi connections all over. The college has all the types of labs required for the course. The college has many grounds and is active in sports. To cover medical facilities, they have a dispensary where very basic medicines are available. The food quality of the mess is average, and the canteen is good enough.

Other: Scholarships are available for those whose parents' income is less than 8 Lacs. Computer Science is the best course in college with the highest placements among all other branches. Fest this year was very average as the main event was cancelled by management. Hostel life and campus are very enjoyable. Clubs are very active, so there are no extracurricular activities.

Infrastructure: PEC is more than 100 years old and has an average infrastructure i.e., very old. Development is currently taking place in our college, and new buildings and a hostel are being built.

Faculty: The mechanical department faculty is good, and really experienced and knowledgeable. And if we talk about its exams and curriculum, it's proper on an application basis, and exams also check the level of the student so that he or she can be a part of the mechanical course.

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.
