When you talk about what are the things that influenced me to take this course is "my rank" of JEE . At my rank in this college max i can get is this course and the quality of college and placements stats are the most imp thing that impact me. Curriculum is well defined proper labs are there for experiments, whatever is teaching in class. Because of relative grading its not very tough to score here if you study 1 week before midsem and 2 week before endsem exams then you score good enough for every company cuttoff.

We here used to have 2 kinds of exams, mid sem and end sem, having about 1:2 weightage consists about 20-25% and 40-50% weightage respectively, and the other is counted through the quizzing, assignments and labs(if applicable to the course).

Theory Faculty are quite good and some are strict but All lab faculty are strict and they have good knowledge of machine .and assistant professor are supporting in nature . Faculty are mtech , PhD graduates from iits nits and other reputable universities. Teaching method is not too good but they will help you when you need them . Faculty/students ratio are approximately 2/120 for theory leactur but 7/120 for labs Question asked in exam are from book and notes they suggest . No need to study appart from notes and books suggested .difficulty of exam depend upon students and subject .

I chose this course because it was in line with my college and JEE Mains rank and it had some good placement in the past and I didn't want to choose Cse in tier 3 college. There are adequate faculty and some faculty are good but they are quite strict about attendance and sometimes give unnecessary work and don't listen to anyone. Qualification of the faculty is average but the teaching is old conventional board lectures of outdated topics which might not even be relevant today Term exams were timely and the teacher took the class timely it was very easy to pass in our college due to relative marking they don't fail students easily so it's quite easy to pass but getting a good CG is quite difficult due to intense competition.

I choose this course because I want to do electrical engineering and wanted to become electrical engineer so that's why I choose this branch.talking about student ratio ,girl boys ratio in our college is I think around 1 ratio 6 and qualification of faculties I think most of the not all but most of the teachers have done PhD and have at least done M.tech.

I chose Electrical Engineering in PEC because at my rank it was the best option available for me as per placements are concerned, faculties are highly qualified but they lag in some basic teaching skills they have excellent knowledge about their subjects, and the faculty ratio is very poor its around 160 teachers for more than 3300 students, exams are conducted twice in a semester and they are kind of between hard and moderate difficulty level.

I chose this course as I was lacking the marks to get my intense course. Every class of 12 is taught by 8-10 faculty teachers. All faculties are Ph.D. graduates or researchers and are well-educated from foreign universities. Exams are conducted after 3 months and one can pass easily.

The course curriculum here is good and well-structured. Like I am a student of electrical engineering, so I found all the courses good for us to get good intern and placements. Teachers here are very helpful in our department I can say. They are brilliant enough to make our future bright. Exams were on 1.5 months difference, like the first in a semester, there are mid sems after 1.5 minutes of the start and then endsems after 1.5 months of midsems approximately. It's not that difficult to pass them, you just need to study in the classes themselves, that's more than enough.

Faculty to student ratio is about 30-40 The teaching faculty is very nice and cooperative and holds good qualifications The course curriculum is not so very cool as the rating will be 7 out of 10. Getting a pass is easier and exams are held in two parts first is a mid-semester exam and the other is an end-semester exam in a semester.
One of my friends is doing B. Tech at Punjab Engineering College, Chandigarh, so I can provide you with some information about the college and how it functions.
In the following table, you will get the placement record of B.Tech at PEC.

The placement percentage of B.Tech students at Punjab Engineering College is 93%. In this percentage, all the students who have CGPA above 6.5 are eligible to sit for placement, also included in this.
Companies that recapture B.Tech students are Exl Services, Alstom, Goldman Sachs, etc. The average package offered to students is below INR 10 LPA.
Therefore, Electrical Engineering placements for B.Tech students at Punjab Engineering College, Chandigarh, are decent. The package offered to students might be low, but almost every student gets placed.
PEC Chandigarh is a great option for pursuing Electrical Engineering. It is one of the oldest and most reputed technical colleges in the country. You will get good exposure and placement opportunities.
During the recent PEC Chandigarh placement, students of Electrical Engineering received an average CTC of around INR 8 LPA. The highest CTC offered for the branch was INR 18 LPA. JP Morgan, Honda, Maruti, etc. visited the campus placements to recruit students.
If you think statistically, then PEC Chandigarh is better than NIT Kurukshetra. Considering this, the following reasons are listed:

Besides, the internship records of this institute can be compared with old IITs. Students of PEC get approximately 169 internship opportunities, of which 24 were pre-placement offers. Many students also get the opportunity to join as a research intern in a renowned foreign university, a tenure of 6 months.
So, if you to take admission in an institute considering your future with an average package of 10 LPA, then it must be noted that the student strength and competition in PEC are less than NIT Kurukshetra.
PEC Chandigarh is one of the pioneer engineering institutes in Punjab and provides quality education in electrical courses. The institute ranks 68th as per NIRF 2020 Ranking and also one of the oldest and premier institutes. The university is famous for its placement packages and is great for pursuing Electrical engineering.
Thapar Institute of Information Technology (TIET) has been ranked 2nd among 13 Indian Private Institutions by ‘THE’ Asia. They offer both BTech and MTech courses of 4 years and 2 years respectively. The learning process at Thapar for CSE is more inclined towards practical knowledge.

It depends on the student’s preference of the subject with which they want to move their career further. Thapar Insitute is located in Patiala, on the other hand, PEC is located in the capital city i.e. Chandigarh, which can offer the students great advantages.
I have two friends who are Electrical Engineering graduates from PEC and are currently working in a good IT company. One of them was also among the only two people who cracked directly written.
Being from an electrical background, it can be tough to learn coding in your free time and also cope up with your syllabus and keep your grades high. But if you are persistent you can definitely do it. You might also need to study some CS/IT subjects like DBMS while learning to code. As many students of the institute suggest to secure a job in an IT company you have to take off-campus routes, as most of the top companies are not open for interviews for the Electrical branch at PEC Chandigarh.
But yes, it is possible to land a job at an IT company even after completing ELE if you can learn to code properly and work hard enough to make yourself prepare for the job.
Both Electrical Engineering and Mechanical Engineering at PEC Chandigarh are great options. You should choose one of these courses based on your preference. The placement opportunities offered are similar, except Mechanical students are allowed for less number of coding job profiles. So, if you are interested in coding, choosing Electrical will be better. According to PEC Chandigarh placement highlights of recent years, the average CTC for these branches stays in the range of INR 5-12 LPA.
Two years ago, one of my friends was in the same situation. He could have taken electrical and sit for every company’s placements. If he chooses mechanical, then only core opportunities are open. Given the circumstances, he chose electrical in the first round of counseling. It was so because he would at least get a chance to sit in almost every business.
Sitting in a good company does not guarantee a good job, and mechanical engineering at PEC is far superior to that of many NITs and even IITs. Trusting his seniors and teachers, he switched to mechanical on the spot round to which he doesn't regret till now.
If you're interested in electrical, go for it. Since my friend had no particular interest in any of these subjects, he preferred mechanical over electrical.
The cutoffs are released after the spot round. So, it’s difficult to say what is the required cutoff for Electrical branch in the spot round at PEC Chandigarh.
But assuming that you are from the open/general category, these are the starting cut-off ranks for recent years.

Since the number of seats in PEC is the same as last year (no increase or decrease) you can expect fairly the same ranks this year too. So, work hard and make sure you get in the rank range.
As these are two distinct branches of engineering, you should pursue a topic that piques your interest.
Categories | CS at Thapar Patiala | Electrical at PEC Chandigarh |
Course Fee | 13.23 lakh | 6.39 lakh |
Highest CTC | 20 LPA | 8-10 LPA |
Average CTC | 11 LPA | 6 LPA |
Recruiting Companies | Wipro, Infosys, TCS, IBM, etc. | Phillips, L&T, JP Morgan, TCS, etc. |
It all depends on what you're interested in. If you are interested in CS, then choose Thapar (if fees are not an issue) or electrical in PEC Chandigarh.
