Campus Life:

Campus Life is cool Our fest is PECFEST which is considered One of the biggest college fests in northern india it's generally organised after the month of August i.e. end side of the year we experience a footfall of more than 30k in this event with great stars Also, there are some technical fests being organised from time to time by many technical clubs in our college There's a library with books related to the curriculum there, we can take them for use but if we are late then generally the probability of books being available is very low also the library is OK-OK. The campus is also OK-OK you will find a green campus with a decent infrastructure for A.C classes, also Chandigarh is a City with beautiful structures and planning and it's amazing to be here, there are many tourist destinations nearby. The sports activities are decent but I will appreciate the clubs here as there is a club for almost everyone if you want to be in tech, sports, management, coding, dance, drama, music, NCC, NSS, and many more

Hostel Facilities:

Hostels are really very expensive and can never satisfy their cost, hostels cost around 80k per year which doesn't include the mess fee, which is around 3.7k per month, being too much expensive still hostels are very poor, it feels like slummy areas, though PEC is building new hostels those very good those are given to very limited students, you will get that old hostel, it will take time to get adjusted in these hostels, Mess food also very poor initially but it had improved a lot as Hostel committee takes review after a month of mess food and then it's changed if the review is negative.

Campus Life:

Campus life is great, though PEC's own campus is not that modern and campus size is also very small when compared to NITs like Jaipur, But its location makes it different and joyfully as PEC is in between the main city Chandigarh and has all facilities one can imagine, NAB is newly built and have all modern day teaching techniques but other departments are very old but construction of new infra is going on. Sports are not that good in this college but extracurricular activities are very highly intensified you will never get bored after coming to PEC, each and every day of College some event is going on.

Campus Life:

PECFEST(cultural) is conducted at the end of the year and PECFEST(technical) is conducted at around mid-year. Both are great and basically the same for someone who wants to enjoy. There are many books available in the library and you can even ask for them if a book is not there. Classrooms have projectors, ACs (not all), and normal chalk/whiteboards. There are plenty of extra-curricular activities like cricket, football, basketball, tennis, Dramatics(dance+acting), singing, bhangra, editorial boards, and societies for each branch-specific thing. Most of the clubs are run by students only and they provide good opportunities for someone to grow in that field.

Is changing the branch in PEC Chandigarh easy after the first year?

● Top Answer By Sudipta Mukherjee on 10 Aug 22

You need to have a high CGPA to change your branch at PEC Chandigarh. The branch change or branch upgradation option is given after the first year. The rules of branch change are as follows. The availability of branch change options depends on the vacancies.  Students are required to have a minimum of 8 CGPA, to apply for branch change. However, the actual required CGPA varies depending on the branch and competition. In recent years, the CGPA required for CSE was 10. For Mechanical and Electrical, the cutoff CGPA was ~ 8.25.  CGPA requirement for CSE usually stays high. Upgradation to ECE, Mechanical or Electrical is comparably easier.

Why is PEC losing its good ranking? Is it true that NIT Jalandhar will cross it within a few years?

● Top Answer By Akash Sinha on 30 Aug 22

Ans
NIRF 2022 has ranked NIT Jalandhar 52. While PEC received a ranking of 87. Here are some of the factors that affected PEC’s ranking. Although the university has changed the syllabus, it doesn’t meet the industry trends. Students don’t get many research opportunities. PEC needs to improve its infrastructure.   NIT Jalandhar is an institute of national importance. The NIT tag is well-recognized in the industry. This is also another reason why NIT Jalandhar ranks higher than PEC.

Why are IIT Ropar and IIT Mandi preferred less as compared to PEC, CHANDIGARH?

● Top Answer By Uday Tewari on 23 Mar 21

Ans
Is PEC really preferred over IIT’s? I think it’s the other way around. So, here are some reasons why IIT Ropar or IIT Mandi is preferred: Peer Group: The students of IIT Ropar and IIT Mandi are the students who have secured under 5k ranks in the JEE Advanced AIR. The peer group in IITs will be better than that of PEC as they have the best students on their campus. Faculty: The faculty of IITs are the best and experienced teachers throughout the country.  Brand Value: The brand value of IIT is definitely better than that of PEC. It has international recognition.  Rank: MHRD has ranked both of the two colleges among the top colleges in India and is therefore considered as the best. Placements: The placements are exceptionally well in IITs. For the CSE branch, the average package is about 16 LPA, in electrical it is about 12 LPA and in the core branches like mechanical, it is around 8-9 LPA that is more than the average packages of PEC. Apart from these factors, the only factor in which PEC campus.

Ques

Is PEC becoming IIT Chandigarh?

● Top Answer By Akansha Kunwar on 30 Aug 22

Ans
There’s no news of PEC becoming IIT Chandigarh, in recent future. Initially, PEC used to come under Panjab government. But now it takes admission through CCMT.  Also, Panjab already has an IIT, i.e. IIT Ropar. All states of India have only one IIT now. Although UP has two IITs, these IITs were established with a gap of around 40 years. So, there’s a slim chance of PEC becoming IIT Chandigarh, anytime soon.

Ques

How do people treat PECians (PEC Chandigarh)?

● Top Answer By Asif Khan on 30 Apr 21

Ans
One of my friends is studying at Punjab Engineering College and people treat PEC students pretty decently.  Here is the list of positive experiences each student of PEC may experience. If you are interning in companies, then it is possible that company staff may praise and appreciate you for studying at Punjab Engineering College. If others come to know that you are studying at Punjab Engineering College, Chandigarh, then they will become super happy.  Even the cab driver asks my friend technical questions and tells him how hard it is to get PEC. Locals know the reputation of PEC that it held a year ago. However, the college is not as good as once it was. But still, the reputation of the college is still known by everyone in the region.  Even Civil Servants praised PEC students for studying there. If you are taking admission into coaching institutions, then PEC students get a special discount. Students of other colleges are always curious about PEC fests.  But PECians also face negative experiences. Such as IIT students have never heard about PEC or its fests.  Therefore, if you are studying at Punjab Engineering College. Chandigarh, then you will encounter many such incidents. People will praise and treat you differently if you are from PEC.
