Placement Experience:

Placements in our college is good, they provide on-campus placements with a good average package In 6th semester the student has a chance to grab an internship which ranges upto 1 lakh also if we see this year's record And after that in 4th year they can get placed with decent packages The major companies visited were APPLE, GOOGLE, MICROSOFT, PHONE PE, J.P. MORGAN, GOLDMAN SACHS and many more No. Of PPOs, students got 149, and the highest stipend was 1.6 lakh offered by uber for an internship Above 40% of people preferred software followed by analytics(24%), core(17%), consulting(9%), and Finance(2%). Around 700 offers were there and the highest package grabbed by 5 students was of 83.5 lpa (4 CSE and 1 ECE) and the overall average was around 14 lakhs and above 70% of students were placed having 91% highest in CSE Major high packages were offered in software roles followed by other profiles After the degree, I wish to gain some experience from a job so I could start something new after that.

Remarks:

The admission process is simple to understand, we need to give an entrance exam called JEE which is very famous in India, people who got 75%+ in their 12th boards in stream PCM can apply for the exam. After giving the exam we need to wait for the result in which our rank is declared and after that counselling process is done by govt. colleges which allot colleges and streams to students if they filled that in the list, according to their ranks. The application form for jee is released by nta on their website nta.nic.in and application fees at my time was 650 per exam attempt, it's a Little bit higher now. Students with good ranks in jee mains can get this college and the cut-off for my stream(E.C.E) was around 27K rank for general, 35k for E.W.S, for SC, ST it was around 1.5 lakh and for P.W.D it was around 5.8 lakh There was no girls quota but these were the reservations available which I have mentioned above.

Course Curriculum Overview:

In CSE and ECE branches college placements are quite good. The student-faculty ratio is about 1:15. Most of the faculty members are Ph.D. holders from renowned institutions in the country. They are always ready to solve problems faced by the students. College exams were of mediocre level i.e if you study well whole semester you will not face any problem and can pass exams with good cgpa. The curriculum of the syllabus is also not quite difficult.

Remarks:

If you want to get admission to PEC you have to give JEE MAIN exam and have to secure a decent rank around 10-12K if your aim is to get the CSE branch and around 18 k for the data science branch. For the rest of the cutoff, you may refer josaa counseling website. You can apply for this college through JOSAA and CSAB counseling. Reservation for various categories are present here and students can take admission through sports quota also. Admission process is quite simple and same as most of the government engineering colleges.

Placement Experience:

I have given 10/10 on placements and really placements are just of IIT levels, Overall average was 16.7LPA and for CSE it was 25LPA, ECE 18.7LPA, EE 15.3LPA, so placements are excellent, only the TOP 5 NITs can compete for PEC in terms of placements, Highest On campus was 83LPA which was given to 5 students, companies like Apple, Microsoft, Amazon regularly visit campus for placements and internships. So if you enjoy and do some hard work side by side you will easily grab a good placement here.

Remarks:

Mode of admission is through JEE Mains, If you get a good rank in JEE Mains you can apply for PEC through JOSAA and CSAB counselling, or admission can be taken by sports, PMSSS(if you have that benefit).

Placement Experience:

7th-semester students start having their tests and interviews for placements. Companies like Microsoft, Google, Apple, arcesium, JP Morgan, Airbus, Uber, Flipkart, etc. visit the campus. The highest package this time was 86 lakhs CTC to six students and the average package is 14 lakhs. Mainly they offer coding and finance-related profiles. More or less everyone who sits in the placements gets placed, the percentage is above 90. I also want to get a good placement in an MNC.

Remarks:

The admission in the college are through JEE Mains exam. NTA conducts the JEE Mains exam twice a year and best of those two is selected for the final result of a candidate. You need to have atleast 13k rank for CSE with home state (Chandigarh) quota and 9k if applying from other state quotas in general caste. There is also quota available for EWS, Kashmiri migrant, SC/ST/OBC and sports.

More than 150 companies visited. 90% of people here are placed well. My plan after my degree is to be a CEO of big MNCs and software companies.

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.

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.

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.
