- Infrastructure: Since its very old college and had a great legacy, but some areas of college and some departments need renovation and new equipments though a large number of renovations are going on.
- Management: The whole power lies in the hands of director and dean and keeping in time for hostels doesn't justify the right to freedom and there is a monopoly of power in the hands of deans.

Based on my rank in jee mains I had 3-4 options among the best colleges in north India. Various colleges I applied to are DTU, NSUT, IIIT DELHI, NIT JALANDHAR, PEC. However I choose PEC because of its culture and placement stats. Moreover, it was close to my city making it easy for me to travel. Due to reservations in Delhi colleges, I couldn't get cse there. this was also a reason I choose pec.
