What if I get a seat at PEC Chandigarh after the spot round only?

MS
Meena Sachdeva Posted On : May 2nd, 2021
B.Tech Civil Engineering, Punjab Engineering College, Chandigarh

Students who get admission at PEC through spot round usually get branches like Production or Civil Engineering. It is true that classes at PEC Chandigarh begin before the spot-round selection. You will also miss the orientation program and which according to the students of the institutes are quite boring sometimes. So you may miss some of the lectures, but it is of the least concern because you will be easily able to cover up the portion that you missed out on. Your fellow classmates can help you out with the same, besides mostly introductions are done over that 1st week. 

After the manual counseling i.e. the spot round is over visit PEC for registration, after that you can start attending the classes.

Almost every branch of PEC Chandigarh has good faculty and well-equipped laboratory facilities. The instruments in the labs are also upgraded from time to time. 

In recent years the bachelor’s degree offered by PEC Chandigarh has changed from BE to B.Tech which is a minor change but still significant. As for the best branch, it will probably be Civil Engineering. I heard good things about this branch from my friends at the institute.

Which is the best for civil, GKV Haridwar or PEC Chandigarh?

AM
Ananta Mukherjee Posted On : May 4th, 2021
B.Tech Mechanical Engineering, Punjab Engineering College, Chandigarh (2021)

You can definitely opt to enroll in PEC Chandigarh. It has a better placement record and the rankings are far higher than GKV Haridwar. NIRF has ranked PEC Chandigarh at 68th position among top engineering colleges in 2020 in India.

Following are the reasons why you should avoid GKV Haridwar:

  • GKV Haridwar has mandated only for boys and their main campus is comparatively compact, which makes it somewhat not very attractive as a whole. 
  • The courses in GKV are limited as well, which adds up the various reasons as to why you should choose the former.
  • The campus is quite a bit far away from the main city, which is burdensome for students as well. 
  • The hostels of the institute are almost 2 KMs away from the main building which sometimes affects the students.
  • GKV Haridwar only offers 4 branches, which is a problem in itself. It includes Computer Science, Electrical, Electronics, and Mechanical.

If you want to study B.Tech in Civil Engineering, then you can without further hesitation choose PEC Chandigarh since it is a good institute.

Why is PEC Chandigarh declining?

YR
Yashika Rao Posted On : May 4th, 2021
Studied at Punjab Engineering College, Chandigarh

PEC Chandigarh is indeed declining these days and you can consider the following reasons for this thought.

  • It is deemed to be University and you should not worry about the syllabus and what is taught in the classes as most of the questions are coming from what is never taught.
  • Teachers are very relaxed here, as the institute had separated from PU. Thereby, institutional politics in recent days are increased. 
  • No one from the college administration is worried about the syllabus and what will be taught in the classes. Thus, your technical curiosity starts to fade as you proceed forward to the next semesters.
  • Most students and the teachers also acquired a 100% placement record for granted.
  • It is a technical institute and if you do not have any technical questions and curiosity, it becomes quite hard to endure the study in the core engineering field.

My friend told me that many big corporate companies had overlooked this institute for this decline.

Thus, when an institute is nearby to the NITs, which are growing constantly, it is also important for PEC to improve its student’s quality and the college administration.
