PEC from a student's lens

the things taught are somewhat relevant in the respective core branches, however one main issue is that most companies that come on campus for hiring are for CSE branch and lvery few companies come for core hiring. Practical knowlege is not taught and exams are usually not that difficult. however difficulty also depends on the particular instructor.

Campus placements are overall decent. Some students usually the top 10 percenrt students get high packages north of 15 lakhs and some even get 35-70 lakhs. but this number is very small and most students get around 4-10 lpa. around 60 to 70 percent students get placed combining on and off campus placements.

the yearly fee at PEC is around 188000 and scholarships are available for EWS candidates who score the highest in their respective sections. Scholarships are also available for SC/ST students with their fee being 4000 for the odd semesters and 94000 for even semesters. Scholarships are also avialable for students with less income like BPL if they can provide income proofs.

overall experience was decent but sometimes youface difficulties from your seniors and teachers. sports is poor at this colege as most students who get admission here are studious and lesser students are inclined towards sports. Smartboards are avialble in teh classrooms and different clubs like music club, Punajb editorial board etc are avialble for students to meet different kpeople.

i chose PEC over other colleges because of the brand value which i thought would be beneficial in the long run and at that time the placement record was very good. I was not reject by any other college i applied. Admission in PEC is through JEE mains rank and counselling sessions are there.

There is less faculty in our college than the needed faculty, dueto this phd students often have to conduct lectures in place of the teachers. the older faculty is mostly not interested in teaching and the placement cell is not supportive to the students. Teachers dont care abourt the students or their careers and some are even vocal about it, however, some teachers are very dedicated but they are powerless in PEC.

the nighlife is poor specifically for pec. there was a recent suicide of a first year student in our college which led to stricter regulations, some of them being illogical, for example fodd cant be delivered at night etc. Hostel timings for students is around 10 pm and chandigarh is usually safe to roam at night.
