There are many hostels in the campus for students. A table, chair, almirah, bed is provided for every student. Rooms are sufficiently big enough. Food is better than many private hostels and hygiene is maintained. Registration process is very simple once you are alloted a course in the college and hostels are affordable as they are nearly 50k per year.

hostels are poor for first year as it is a room for 3 students but 4 are living in that room so its quite messy as boys are known for living wildly. and hostel facilities are not that good and timings are till 10pm only. as for second year they go mega boys hostel and rooms are small for 2 people to live and one table 2 beds are available in there. and mess is very poor. 1st year mess food is still somehow tolerable but after 1st year it gets more poor. and its fees is 25000.

Hostel facility is good. The rooms are well maintained and fully furnished. The furniture in the hostels rooms are very good. If you have any problem occur in the room facility like light defects then you can complaint and the issue is fixed in the next few hours. The fees for our hostel combine with the mess facility is approx 40000. The mess food of our college is very good quality. And the variability in the food occurs time by time.

When it comes to engineering placements, PEC ranks far higher than NIT Jalandhar. However, the branch is extremely important. Nowadays, if you major in CSE, you will earn significantly more than if you majored in Mechanical/Civil, for example. However, when comparing the same branches between PEC and NIT, PEC stands out.
According to recent media reports, the highest package offered during Punjab Engineering College placement in 2022 was INR 64.5 LPA to 7 students. In addition, the average package offered in 2022 was INR 13.5 LPA. The participating recruiters placed 509 college students in various sectors such as software, consulting, analytics, and so on. Apple, Microsoft, Arcesium, American Express, and JP Morgan & Co. were among the top recruiters for PEC Chandigarh 2022.

MGH - Final year, third year and PhD students get accommodations in MGH. It only has double-sharing rooms. PhD students stay in one-seater rooms. MGH has WiFi facilities. The mess is combined with GH2.
Overall, the hostel accommodation at NIT Jalandhar is good.

No, freshers don’t get a single room hostel. During the first year you have to share the room with 3 other boys. From the second year you can opt for a single room.

It is compulsory for all hostel residents to avail the mess facilities.
Apart from the common mess, there are two cafeterias, one located in the academic building and the other in the common mess building which caters to the needs of the students and faculty.
One can roam freely across the campus at any time of the day.
The hostel has a Common room for people to spend their leisure time. It is decked with a TV, newspapers, and magazines.
