In present times, PEC Chandigarh is not as good as it was in the 1990s and early 2000s. There has been a downfall of the institute over the years, which is somewhat evident from the MHRD rankings. The points below give a brief overview of the present conditions of the institute.

  • The present MHRD rank of PEC Chandigarh is 68. Although the institute has faced major downfalls, it is not as bad as the rank it has received. But, considering the factors of research, perceptions about the institute, and the overall infrastructure, there are some serious breakdowns in the institute.
  • PEC has a very good placement even in present times. Students from branches like CSE and ECE get placed with excellent salary packages. So, there is much less interest in research in the institute as most students run after getting a decent job. There is a need for students to get involved in research-based works with professors to improve the research score, which is very low in present times.
  • There are perceptions in the market that PEC, being a regional college is not a good institute. Some even conclude that NIT Kurukshetra is better than PEC, just because it is an NIT.

PEC Chandigarh is no doubt a good college, being the 15th oldest engineering college in India, but is having some issues in infrastructure, which is under maintenance in present times.
