Aerospace Engineering from PEC is decent. It is excellent if compared to other private colleges, but it is regretful compared to the IITs. The following are the highlights of the program.

The chances for admission in Aerospace Engineering are bitty. The cut-offs of various branches have been fluctuating over the past few years. So, it’s not possible to predict the exact cut-off which will land you in Aerospace Engineering from PEC. The cut-off is generally around 15-19000. If you belong to any quota then getting admission gets easier. 

If you are inclined to Aerospace Engineering, the program from PEC is worth the ride.

Seeing your interest in both branches, IIEST has a wide scope of diverse cultures and you will find many students from all over the nation. 

IIEST Shibpur offers great exposure in terms of academics as well as extra-curricular activities along with the interactive clubs and fun happening fests. It comes under the Government of India and is one of the NIT. 

However, Aerospace Engineering is not a trending branch anymore and it was in the limelight a decade ago. To open up more opportunities, you will be required to pursue a Master’s or prepare for the competitive exams to get a decent job. 

ECE at Heritage Institute is more prominent but being a private college, it is not up to the mark as compared to Aerospace Engineering. The placement opportunities at HIT are not good. Therefore, all you can do is to opt for IIEST, get a decent aggregate, and change the branch from Aerospace to ECE in the second year.

PEC is in general considered as one of the finest colleges in Chandigarh. There are several advantages to being in a city like Chandigarh, including safety, being around civilized people, less pollution, etc. 

Though having a good environment, Aerospace Engineering is not very good at PEC Chandigarh. Due to the lack of experienced faculty members, some good lecturers come as guest lecturers, but almost 80% of the studies have to be done by the students themselves. The good thing is that students can fly RC planes. The infrastructure should also improve as Aerospace Engineering requires proper lab facilities.

The table below gives a brief overview of the Aerospace Engineering department of PEC University of Technology, Chandigarh.

Though the course is not up to the mark, your life in Chandigarh will be extremely comfortable and a lot safer than in other cities in the country.

Due to less population in Chandigarh, there are quite fewer vehicles and more trees inside the city. This results in very little pollution and almost no traffic in the streets.

Therefore, firstly, aerospace engineering is not a very good choice which is evident from the placement percentage stated above. Coming to life in Chandigarh, it is excellent with an amazing environment all around.

Unlike many different branches available, you have to work harder if your decision is PEC Chandigarh. 

• The subjects taught to Aerospace Engineering by the faculty are extremely crucial as compared to the numerous advances in the same field.
• It has a great lab where they are required to wind tunnels, both subsonic and supersonic. 
• You will have a variety of engines to inspect and observe, airfoil design labs, and several other experimental hikes.
• In your 4th year, you will be provided flight training. There will also be internship opportunities in the second half of your 3rd year.
• Now, when talking about the placements, there are almost no placements for this branch. Presently, only non-core branches are getting placement offers. 

A subject like this will requires you to complete the post-graduation for better exposure. regardless of the university. One of my friends chose this branch not to get a job but to study it in detail and pursue it further in post-graduation.

You can go for it without thinking twice. But, you can only excel at PEC with complete hard work and dedication. It never fails to provide the best of all opportunities. 

Lastly, if you did not know, Kalpana Chawla was one of the reputed alumni of PEC Chandigarh, which can most probably make your decision quite simpler too.

It totally depends on your career interest. In India, there are very few jobs in the aerospace industry than in Computer Science Engineering. However, you should definitely pursue ‘Aerospace Engineering' at PEC University.

Aerospace in PEC

• Aerospace Engineering (PEC University) is an excellent choice. It has a good reputation, personal development opportunities, better placements, and experienced faculty members.
• Companies providing placement are Airbus, Rolls-Royce, BAE Systems, Bell Helicopter, Boeing, Honeywell Aerospace, Rockwell Collins, etc.

CS in CCET Chandigarh

• Computer Science from CCET, Chandigarh, on the other hand, is not a good option. It is not as well-known as PEC University.
• Campus placements are limited. CSE is now equivalent to MCA, and MCA graduates can apply for the same job as a Computer Science engineer.
• Companies Provided placements are Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), Infosys, Wipro, HCL, Cognizant Accenture, and many more.

One of the most important factors to consider when selecting a college is its reputation. A good college reputation will lead to better future plans with good people like you.
