Campus Life:

PECFEST(cultural) is conducted at the end of the year and PECFEST(technical) is conducted at around mid-year. Both are great and basically the same for someone who wants to enjoy. There are many books available in the library and you can even ask for them if a book is not there. Classrooms have projectors, ACs (not all), and normal chalk/whiteboards. There are plenty of extra-curricular activities like cricket, football, basketball, tennis, Dramatics(dance+acting), singing, bhangra, editorial boards, and societies for each branch-specific thing. Most of the clubs are run by students only and they provide good opportunities for someone to grow in that field.

Hostel Facilities:

Hostels are really very expensive and can never satisfy their cost, hostels cost around 80k per year which doesn't include the mess fee, which is around 3.7k per month, being too much expensive still hostels are very poor, it feels like slummy areas, though PEC is building new hostels those very good those are given to very limited students, you will get that old hostel, it will take time to get adjusted in these hostels, Mess food also very poor initially but it had improved a lot as Hostel committee takes review after a month of mess food and then it's changed if the review is negative.

Campus Life:

Campus life is great, though PEC's own campus is not that modern and campus size is also very small when compared to NITs like Jaipur, But its location makes it different and joyfully as PEC is in between the main city Chandigarh and has all facilities one can imagine, NAB is newly built and have all modern day teaching techniques but other departments are very old but construction of new infra is going on. Sports are not that good in this college but extracurricular activities are very highly intensified you will never get bored after coming to PEC, each and every day of College some event is going on.

Campus Life is cool Our fest is PECFEST which is considered One of the biggest college fests in northern india it's generally organised after the month of August i.e. end side of the year we experience a footfall of more than 30k in this event with great stars Also, there are some technical fests being organised from time to time by many technical clubs in our college There's a library with books related to the curriculum there, we can take them for use but if we are late then generally the probability of books being available is very low also the library is OK-OK. The campus is also OK-OK you will find a green campus with a decent infrastructure for A.C classes, also Chandigarh is a City with beautiful structures and planning and it's amazing to be here, there are many tourist destinations nearby. The sports activities are decent but I will appreciate the clubs here as there is a club for almost everyone if you want to be in tech, sports, management, coding, dance, drama, music, NCC, NSS, and many more

Ques. How good are the hostels of PEC University of Technology, Chandigarh?

● Top Answer By Nitin Gupta on 30 Apr 21

The hostels of PEC University of Technology are decent in quality, with several factors to consider such as quality of food, wifi availability, quality of rooms, etc.  The points below give a brief overview of the hostels at PEC University of Technology. The entire campus of PEC Chandigarh is provided with high-speed wifi connectivity. There are occasional crashes in connectivity, which are repaired by the institute, but with a little longer time. The hostels in PEC have two and three shared rooms, as there is an increasing number of students in subsequent years. The Shivalik hostel has both kinds of rooms, but the size of rooms with three-shared accommodation is larger. The room facilities in PEC are quite comfortable and so, it is not a problem to stay in shared rooms at the hostel. There is a newly constructed block in Shivalik which would ease the accommodation of students further. The girl’s hostel has three and four sharing rooms, and it is somewhat uncomfortable to stay in those rooms. The overall quality of rooms is decent, as expected from a property which is 50 years old. The quality of food served in the hostels of PEC is not that good. Students can go to the PEC market where several shops sell good quality food. There are quite a number of dhabas in sector 11 too. Students usually manage their living for the first year and then figure out their comfort in it. This is the overall condition of the hostels in PEC, which is of average quality, but quite good being an old enough property....Read more

Ques. Can students in the Chandigarh quota get a hostel in PEC?

● Top Answer By Gaurav Singh on 30 Apr 21

Although students may be told that they won't get a hostel in earlier stages after waiting for a few days the students in the Chandigarh quota can get a hostel in PEC. But there is some process that needs to be completed in order to get a hostel in PEC.  You have to submit an application to the hostel warden and you have to mention your reason clearly, why do you need a hostel after being from Chandigarh as they don't provide hostel facilities to the students belonging from Tricity (Mohali, Chandigarh & Panchkula). But the first preference is always given to the students who are taking admission through all India quota and they are allotted the hostel rooms first. But after a few weeks from their allotment of hostel rooms, the students in the Chandigarh quota who have applied and submitted an application will get the hostel rooms....Read more

Ques. What about hostel accommodation in PEC Chandigarh for 1st year students?

● Top Answer By Vinayak Khanna on 30 Apr 21

One of my friends lives in the PEC Chandigarh hostel, so I can give you basic information every hostler there may know.  Locals : If you are local, then you have to wait a bit to get a hostel. Approximately it takes 2 weeks of time to allot rooms to locals. You also have to submit a written application to DSA with attached address proof.  Room : Every first-year student has to share his room with another fresher. After the first year, students are eligible to stay in a single room. Mess: The food quality of the hostel mess is not worth the fees you pay for it. On special days or occasions, special meals are served to the students, which is of good quality as compared to normal days. Electricity and Water: Hostel has a good supply of electricity and water. So, students don’t have to worry about it. Hostel Timings: There is no restriction of timing in the hostel. You can go out of the hostel and can come back at any time.  Laundry : Every student gets laundry service at the hostel. But laundry allowance is not included in hostel fees, so students have to pay separately for it. Also, avoid giving expensive clothes in the laundry, as it might get ruined.  Wifi : The campus has Wifi connectivity around the campus. It faces some network problems, but its speed is good. Cleanness : Hostels are not clean and tidy, neither the washrooms and toilets. Except, the newly constructed building, Shivalik C Block, which is clean. It is better that you keep your room clean, though.  Ragging: There is no ragging at the hostel campus. You will have an introductory session with seniors both in college and a hostel. The introduction is done with a few fun activities so that freshers easily get to mingle with seniors.  Therefore, hostel life at Punjab Engineering College is overall good. Apart from this, freshers also get hostel parties besides college fresher’s parties. So, the overall experience of PEC is good....Read more
