Yash Choudhary, a 2024 B.Tech Eclectronic Engineering graduate, shared this view on PEC Chandigarh admissions. PEC Chandigarh has strong placements, helpful faculty members and an active campus environment. Communication and environmental science are practical and interesting, but the core syllabus feels old and the number of exams can be stressful. CSE and ECE students get excellent internship chances, while Electrical students have fewer options. The placement record is strong, with top companies and high packages. Fees are high when compared with facilities, and only a small number of students benefit from scholarships. Hostel facilities are decent but need improvement. Campus life includes festivals, clubs, sports and safe surroundings. Overall, the institute is considered good at the NIT level, with scope to improve.

Ques: For CSE, should a student choose NIT Hamirpur or PEC Chandigarh?

Ans: The better choice depends on the student’s priorities. For placements, PEC Chandigarh has a clear advantage over NIT Hamirpur. Its Chandigarh location gives better connectivity, which helps companies visit the campus more easily. NIT Hamirpur has better infrastructure, but buildings alone should not decide the choice. Academics, placements and exposure also matter. The NITian tag has wider public recognition, but PEC performs strongly against top NITs in academics and placements. Both options are valuable depending on what the student wants most.
