Hostel, campus life at PEC Chandigarh.

Placements: Civil placements are decent, but people usually go for higher studies like M.Teach, so placement percentage is low, about 30–40%. The highest package is 18 LPA, average 13 LPA, median 13 LPA. Top recruiters are Reliance, L&T, JP Morgan, EY. Chief engineers and various executive roles have been offered.

Infrastructure: Decent hostels for freshmen and further upgradation in accommodation in succeeding years.

Dispensary is also there in the PEC market.

Faculty: Well-qualified faculty and relevant core curriculum is taught. Difficult exams and average passing percentage. The curriculum seems relevant, and practical work is also highly emphasized. Exams are fairly difficult but not punishing, and 70–80% people pass the exams.

Other: I chose this course as I am brought up in a family of builders. The faculty could have been better. The college hosts top-notch events and provides a lot of exposure.
