Which branch offers more chances of upgrading to CSE in the second year at PEC Chandigarh?

RS
Radhika Singhania Posted On : April 30th, 2021
Studied CSE at PEC Chandigarh

The change of a particular branch takes place at the beginning of the second semester. In fact, it depends on how hard you have worked for it. There are several students from branches of ECE, Electrical, and Mechanical who have secured themselves an upgrade to CSE.

Thus, your branch does not affect anything and can be upgraded if you have good marks. Now, to acquire an upgrade, especially to a branch-like CSE, you have to be a 10 pointer. It is because you are required to compete with students from various other branches as well.

That means you have to work quite harder to achieve a good performance in your mid-semester examinations, quizzes, and end-semester examinations as well.

Is civil engineering at NIT, Kurukshetra better than CSE (computer science and engineering) at PEC University of Technology?

MA
Madhav Aneja Posted On : September 2nd, 2023
Lived in Chandigarh, India

It's difficult to choose one between NIT Kurukshetra Civil and OEC Chandigarh CSE because both branches are different with diverse scopes and opportunities. You will have to consider a lot of parameters while choosing one of these

Personally I will suggest you opt for the CS branch unless you have any specific inclination towards civil engineering or any other branch. The excellent placements of this branch are not the only reason I am suggesting you go for it. The courses taught are rather easy and can be covered through self-study which may not be possible for Civil. 

You are aware of the academic situation of most engineering colleges these days. Most professors have no interest in teaching. I believe that if you can get CS in PEC you can also get CS in NIT Kurukshetra. It has a better alumni network so it's a better option than PEC. Civil students will have options like research internships, masters or Ph.D. later, get into IES, etc.

Here is a comparison of a few statistics that might help you further make a well-informed decision.

Parameters

NIT Kurukshetra

PEC

Fees

1.6 Lakhs (BTech first year)

2.07 Lakhs (BTech first year)

Ranking

58 out of 200 in 2023

101 out of 200 in 2023 

Highest CTC

INR 1.25 CPA

Rs 64.5 LPA

Average CTC

INR 13.89 LPA

Rs 13.5 LPA

Top Recruiters

ICICI Lombard, HCL Technologies, Microsoft, Adani Group

Microsoft, RBS, Goldman Sachs

In the end, your choice of college won’t matter much but how you spent your 4 years will.

Is PEC Chandigarh a good college for an M.Tech in ECE? How are the placements for an M.Tech in ECE?

SG
Souvick Gupta Posted On : April 30th, 2021
Studied M.Tech. Electrical Engineering, Punjab Engineering College, Chandigarh (2018)

PEC Chandigarh is a very good engineering college but somehow it lacks a reputation in the industry and this college is unable to produce any skilled engineers for a long time. 

  • Colleges like DAIICT/LNMIIT are less popular colleges than PEC Chandigarh but it has much more recognition and reputation in the industry which attracts many companies to visit the college for campus placements. 
  • An electronics engineer is the one who can make use of their command over the low-level computer programming languages and make the computers do whatever they want them to do. 
  • There is also a high demand for skilled electronics engineers in the industry but sadly no major electronic engineering companies carry out campus placements at PEC Chandigarh. 
  • Most of the degree holders from such colleges remain unemployed or have to look for other opportunities through off-campus interviews.

Hence, it is not preferable to do M.Tech in ECE from PEC Chandigarh as it has a low reputation in this branch and as a result, you might have to struggle to look for decent jobs or even remain unemployed.

Which college is better for electrical, PEC or NIT, Jalandhar?

DV
Devon Victor Posted On : December 8th, 2022
MSc. in Applied Mathematics, National Institute of Technology, Warangal (Graduated 2017)

Rather than telling you which college is better let’s discuss some factors you should consider before deciding on your college. These will help you make the best choice.

  • Faculty: Look for the college with the oldest and most experienced faculty. They should encourage you to take upon new challenges in life rather than just teaching.

  • Infrastructure: To ensure that the 4 years you spend in college are worthwhile, proper infrastructure is very important. Applying your knowledge requires laboratories, libraries, and other facilities.

  • Exposure: Choose the college that renders the best exposure through seminars, workshops, guest levy, and technical visits to plants. This is way more necessary than just studying your books.

  • Placements: This is the most crucial factor taken into consideration while choosing your college. Compare the colleges you have in mind for the placement figures. You will get a general idea.

Proper research based on these factors will help you select the right college for you. Moreover, you can also search for alumni of both the mentioned colleges and ask them directly. They will be more than willing to help.

What are some tips for a student joining PEC Chandigarh?

AD
Aditya Dhar Posted On : May 1st, 2021
Studied at Punjab Engineering College, Chandigarh (2019)

PEC Chandigarh is a good institute for engineering providing several opportunities to students during the course of study. Some tips that may help students joining PEC are stated below in points.

  • There are several orientation programs held which are not so important for students. Only the orientation organized on the first day of your college and the exhibitions of different technical societies is essential.
  • Some students have a tendency to blame the institute for everything. It is advised to not listen to such people as they are utterly demotivating. PEC in itself is a good institute, with some problems in internal administration, but provides several excellent opportunities to students. 
  • You should go for the field you are passionate about to move forward and excel in your career. Students least interested in engineering should opt for something else. Here being in an engineering college, learning coding will make a career in the industry as IT.
  • Do not get distracted by any bad habits.
  • Attendance should be maintained in college. It should not be a reason for the detention.
  • Enjoying college life is utterly important. Making friends and memories with them is what students carry forward for the rest of their lives.

These are some of the tips for students joining PEC Chandigarh, which may help them make the best use of their time and resources in the institute, for the betterment of their career.

NK
Nitin Kashyap Posted On : December 3rd, 2022
BTech (Computer Science) from Dr. B.R. Ambedkar Institute of Technology, Jalandhar (NITJ)

If you are confused between PEC and Jalandhar for CSE, I would suggest going for NIT Jalandhar. Here you will avail some additional benefits like:

  • More experienced faculty and thereby better teaching quality.

  • The tag of being an NIT student is quite valuable.

  • Students belonging to financially weak strata can get fees relaxation. Exact details can be sought from the official website.

  • Placements are much better at NIT Jalandhar than PEC. The highest package offered at NIT Jalandhar this year was INR 62 LPA while that at PEC was INR 43 LPA

  • NIT Jalandhar had been ranked 52 by the NIRF rankings in 2020, while the PEC Chandigarh had been ranked 68 by the NIRF.

NIT Jalandhar has a lot more to offer than PEC. Also, it’s brand name will help you in the future.
