PEC Chandigarh: 5 Answered Questions

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

Madhav AnejaLived 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.

Which is better for the future: PEC civil or UIET Chandigarh CS?

Sneha DiwanB.E. in Mechanical Engineering, Punjab Engineering College, Chandigarh (2020)

The choice must be done purely based on your interest. If you are not that interested in coding and if you take a lot of time to understand the core language, there is no point in opting CS even if it's in high demand. Once you enjoy what you are learning you will succeed in your job position. Otherwise, there is no point in being hung up in a course which you don't enjoy and for four years or even for the rest of your life.

Quick stats 2021:

Particulars	PEC (Civil)	UIET Chandigarh (CS)
Entrance exam	JEE Main	JEE Main
Cut-off	13882-27254	945 - 46660
Total fees	6.39 lakh	82,197 (1st year)
Placement rate	80%	85%
Highest CTC offered	45 LPA	30 LPA
Average CTC offered	6-7 LPA	7 LPA

If you don't have a specific preference and you are okay with either CS or civil, then clearly assess college reputation, placement stats, and other opportunities in the respective fields which are briefed out below.

Both PEC Chandigarh and UIET offer 24/7 high-speed internet facilities at both academic blocks and hostels. Academic blocks are fully air-conditioned.
Labs are fully equipped with hi-tech equipment. Libraries are up-to-date with new books of international standards.
Food at hostels is pretty good and you can even opt for off-campus housing facilities. Both of these universities give priority to sports.
Both of them organize certain tech fests out of which 'PECfest' of PEC and 'Avishkar' of UIET are quite popular.

As a branch CSE is on top when compared to Civil. But when you compare PEC and UIET, PEC has an upper hand. Set your priorities straight and opt for the best college for you.

Will I surely get PEC Chandigarh civil engineering with a rank of 30,921 and the outside Chandigarh quota in the spot round?

Sudipta MukherjeeStudied at Punjab Engineering College, Chandigarh

It is difficult to predict with certainty whether you will get admission to PEC Chandigarh for civil engineering with a rank of 30,921 and the outside Chandigarh quota in the spot round. However, here are some points that might help you to understand the admission process:

PEC Chandigarh has a total of 360 seats for B.Tech, including 54 seats for civil engineering.
The admission process at PEC Chandigarh is based on the candidate's rank in JEE Main.
PEC Chandigarh conducts six rounds of counseling, including a spot round, for admission to B.Tech programs.
During the counseling process, candidates can select their preferred course and college based on their JEE Main rank and the availability of seats.
The cut-off rank for civil engineering at PEC Chandigarh varies every year based on several factors such as the number of applicants, the difficulty level of the exam, and the number of seats available.
In the spot round, the seats that are left vacant after the previous rounds of counseling are offered to the candidates based on their JEE Main rank.
If there are any vacant seats available after the spot round, then they are filled through institute-level spot counseling.

It is difficult to say whether you will get admission to PEC Chandigarh for civil engineering with a rank of 30,921 and the outside Chandigarh quota in the spot round. However, you can participate in the counseling process and select your preferred course and college based on your JEE Main rank and the availability of seats. If there are any vacant seats available after the previous rounds of counseling, then you might have a chance of getting admission in the spot round.

Which is better, a B.Tech in civil engineering from NIT Hamirpur or from PEC Chandigarh?

Shivangi VermaB.Tech from National Institute of Technology, Hamirpur (2019)

My friends have been studying in both NIT Hamirpur and PEC Chandigarh and according to their first-hand experience, PEC Chandigarh holds an edge. Here’s why:

It lies in a prime location viz. Chandigarh. The city has better and numerous opportunities. It is an education hub in the North, hence making it easier to plan and implement your higher education goals. There are ample coaching centers as well in case you want to prepare for government exams.

PEC has better placement and internship options as well, again it is due to the location advantage.

Categories	Civil at NIT Hamirpur	Civil at PEC Chandigarh
Course Fee	6.86 lakh	6.39 lakh
Placement Percentage	70-80%	85-90%
Highest CTC	12 LPA	15 LPA
Average CTC	5 LPA	6.5 LPA
Recruiting Companies	L&T, Accenture, Capgemini, Godrej, etc.	Google, Amazon, Goldman Sachs,

Overall, while both the colleges offer good education, NIT holds a big brand name. However, factors like location and opportunities come first when in such a dilemma. Also, as you are getting the same branch in both the colleges, choose PEC Chandigarh any day.

Should I join IGDTUW Delhi mechanical and automation, or PEC Chandigarh civil branch? Which is better?

Manav JainStudied at Punjab Engineering College, Chandigarh

Both IGDTUW Delhi and PEC Chandigarh are reputed colleges and are equally good but both these courses are very different from each other.

If you are interested in higher studies and want to do M.Tech or Ph.D., then only opt for PEC civil. The pressure for studies would be less. You also have no restrictions in doing extracurricular activities. Here you can focus on other things besides studies, like on your hobbies or learning and developing a new skill or a new language which can be helpful in your career.

Here’s a brief overview of the courses mentioned in the question.
