Punjab Engineering College University of Technology - [PEC]: 168 answered questions
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.
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.
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.
