What about hostel accommodation in PEC Chandigarh for 1st year students?

One of my friends lives in the PEC Chandigarh hostel, so I can give you basic information every hostler there may know. 

1. Locals: If you are local, then you have to wait a bit to get a hostel. Approximately it takes 2 weeks of time to allot rooms to locals. You also have to submit a written application to DSA with attached address proof. 
2. Room: Every first-year student has to share his room with another fresher. After the first year, students are eligible to stay in a single room.
3. Mess: The food quality of the hostel mess is not worth the fees you pay for it. On special days or occasions, special meals are served to the students, which is of good quality as compared to normal days.
4. Electricity and Water: Hostel has a good supply of electricity and water. So, students don’t have to worry about it.
5. Hostel Timings: There is no restriction of timing in the hostel. You can go out of the hostel and can come back at any time. 
6. Laundry: Every student gets laundry service at the hostel. But laundry allowance is not included in hostel fees, so students have to pay separately for it. Also, avoid giving expensive clothes in the laundry, as it might get ruined. 
7. Wifi: The campus has Wifi connectivity around the campus. It faces some network problems, but its speed is good.
8. Cleanness: Hostels are not clean and tidy, neither the washrooms and toilets. Except, the newly constructed building, Shivalik C Block, which is clean. It is better that you keep your room clean, though. 
9. Ragging: There is no ragging at the hostel campus. You will have an introductory session with seniors both in college and a hostel. The introduction is done with a few fun activities so that freshers easily get to mingle with seniors. 

Therefore, hostel life at Punjab Engineering College is overall good. Apart from this, freshers also get hostel parties besides college fresher’s parties. So, the overall experience of PEC is good.
