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

Placements: Placement percentage is 70 to 80% in electrical engineering. The highest package is about 80 LPA, and the average is 13 LPA. About 20 to 30% got internships. All big companies like Microsoft and Apple come to campus here.

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.

Faculty: Teaching quality is overall good or average, not excellent. Teachers are well qualified. The course is relevant. The difficulty of exams is moderate, with a pass percentage of 90 to 95%. This pass percentage varies subject-wise. Physics is very tough here, and exams and quizzes in Physics are tough. Exams of all other subjects are normal.

2Placements4Infrastructure3Faculty4Crowd & Campus Life4Value for Money

Peaceful life at Punjab Engineering College, Chandigarh.

Placements: For design, there’s almost no placement. No student has yet completed the course as it started three years ago, but still, looking at other factors, you will have to find internships yourself. The percentage of internships in 3rd year is 4 percent till now.

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.

Faculty: Everyone is helpful, but faculty lacks professors from a design background. I hope staff recruitment gets better. But still, a couple of teachers are amazing and definitely very helpful. The curriculum is exactly like IIT B's design course, so the whole course is inclined to industrial design and is technical.

B.Tech. in Electrical Engineering - Batch of 2029

5Placements3Infrastructure4Faculty4Crowd & Campus Life4Value for Money

The college beats many top-tier colleges in terms of placement, and the overall experience is great.

Placements: Approximately 70% to 74% of students have been placed so far. The highest package for the EE branch this year is 52 LPA. The average package remains 12.90 LPA and the lowest package offered was 3.20 LPA. Microsoft, Google, Apple, BMW, Maruti, L&T, and Siemens are some of the top recruiters.

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. The hostels are quite decent; again, the infrastructure is quite outdated, and the mess food is also decent. Sports facilities are available for every kind of game, like volleyball, cricket, basketball, and there is also a swimming pool inside the campus.

Faculty: Teachers are very helpful and knowledgeable. These are teachers qualified from prestigious colleges of India like IITs, NITs, and other top government colleges. It is really easy to communicate with them and get your doubts cleared. The courses are quite relevant, but not so relevant, which I believe should be updated. But it's the problem faced by almost every college, I guess, these days. For the most part, this makes you industry-ready too. Semester exams are not so difficult, but the grading is relatively strict, so you have to prepare accordingly.

Other: I chose this course because of the versatility and the good placements offered by this college. This branch allows me to take any job related to my field or a core-related job. I would like to skip some parts that are outdated and not used in the industry but are taught just for the sake of knowledge. The crowd is very good. The college organizes events, and sports competitions are held in our college. There are many scholarships provided by the college and the college is filled with extracurricular activities. You can have fun if you wish to.

Truth about the infrastructure of PEC, Chandigarh.

Placements: Almost 75% of students were placed in our course. On average, the highest and the lowest packages were around 8.5, 26, and 5 LPA, respectively. Top recruiting companies included Tata Projects, L&T, and government bodies as well. Top roles offered were structural engineer, design engineer, site supervisor, etc.

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.

Faculty: Teachers are helpful. However, some professors are strict. They are knowledgeable and teach well. The course curriculum is relevant and industry-ready. The exams are doable and not too difficult. The pass percentage is good in number. There are some issues with the marking rules. Some teachers are strict, and some do lenient checking.

Other: It is one of the top government colleges in the country, and this course was the best option I was getting based on my JEE rank. They can improve the infrastructure of the labs and make it much more teaching-oriented and modern. Club events take place on campus quite often. The surroundings are good. The campus is nice and provides you with unforgettable moments.

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.

Punjab Engineering College Chandigarh review.

Placements: In Industrial and Production Engineering, there are a total of 30 students, out of which 21 are placed last year. The average package is around 13 LPA, the highest is 20.85 LPA, and the lowest is 3.3 LPA. Maximum students are placed in consultancy firms, while some students from production and other branches prepare for the CAT exam. About 30 percent of the students get internships from my course.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure of PEC Chandigarh is decent. First-year classrooms have AC, and the Computer Science department and ECE department also have AC. Wi-Fi is good. The infrastructure of labs is decent; some lab machines are old, while some have new machines. The library is good, and all types of books are available. Hostels are average but quite costly compared to other NITs. The mess is decent, and there is no hostel canteen. For medical facilities, there is a dispensary in PEC market where you can get medicines. Sports facilities are good, and all types of grounds are available, such as cricket, athletics, volleyball, squash court, etc.

Faculty: In the first year, I don’t have much idea about professors of my core subjects, but first-year teachers are good and qualified. The curriculum is good, and all important subjects and practical's are included. It makes us industry-ready. Semester exams are moderate. Around 30 marks are required to avoid a back in each subject.
