Below are the procedures to get admission in undergraduate courses at PEC Chandigarh. 

1. You will have to score at least 75% in your board exam, it is the basic criteria to appear in JEE Main.
2. Appear and secure a good score in JEE Main. You will get three consecutive attempts for JEE Main. Admission at PEC is purely based on JEE Main score. You can check the recent cutoff for PEC on the official website to get an idea of what to expect.
3. All the qualified candidates have to participate in the counseling process and they are allotted seats as per the rank secured in JEE Main and choices elected by them.
4. If you are applying for admission one year after your 10+2, you will need to produce a gap year certificate during counseling.

So, these are some eligibility criteria for you to keep a note of.

Students who get admission at PEC through spot round usually get branches like Production or Civil Engineering. It is true that classes at PEC Chandigarh begin before the spot-round selection. You will also miss the orientation program and which according to the students of the institutes are quite boring sometimes. So you may miss some of the lectures, but it is of the least concern because you will be easily able to cover up the portion that you missed out on. Your fellow classmates can help you out with the same, besides mostly introductions are done over that 1st week. 

After the manual counseling i.e. the spot round is over visit PEC for registration, after that you can start attending the classes.

Almost every branch of PEC Chandigarh has good faculty and well-equipped laboratory facilities. The instruments in the labs are also upgraded from time to time. 

In recent years the bachelor’s degree offered by PEC Chandigarh has changed from BE to B.Tech which is a minor change but still significant. As for the best branch, it will probably be Civil Engineering. I heard good things about this branch from my friends at the institute. 

It is also evident from the placement statistics for Civil Engineering at PEC in recent years.

• Average CTC- 6-7 LPA
• Highest CTC- 45 LPA
• Placement Average- Around 86%
• Top Recruiters- Google, Amazon, Goldman Sachs

Hope this helps you. 

You can definitely opt to enroll in PEC Chandigarh. It has a better placement record and the rankings are far higher than GKV Haridwar. NIRF has ranked PEC Chandigarh at 68th position among top engineering colleges in 2020 in India.

Following are the reasons why you should avoid GKV Haridwar:

• GKV Haridwar has mandated only for boys and their main campus is comparatively compact, which makes it somewhat not very attractive as a whole. 
• The courses in GKV are limited as well, which adds up the various reasons as to why you should choose the former.
• The campus is quite a bit far away from the main city, which is burdensome for students as well. 
• The hostels of the institute are almost 2 KMs away from the main building which sometimes affects the students.
• GKV Haridwar only offers 4 branches, which is a problem in itself. It includes Computer Science, Electrical, Electronics, and Mechanical.

If you want to study B.Tech in Civil Engineering, then you can without further hesitation choose PEC Chandigarh since it is a good institute.

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.

The choice of a branch clearly depends on you. But, if you are wondering which among both these would be a better choice, then you can undoubtedly go for IT at NIT Kurukshetra. 

There are several reasons why-

• Placements: The average package is about 9 to 10 Lacs for CS or IT at NIT Kurukshetra. On contrary to NIT Kurukshetra, the average package provided by PEC Chandigarh for students whose branch is Electrical is known to be around 5 to 6 Lacs.
• Brand Name: The second most influential reason for choosing NIT Kurukshetra is its NIT tag. It does offer certain advantages. 

However, both of these aforementioned branches are completely different and have no personal interlinking. Thus to say, the scope for IT in various government sectors is at present near about zero, while at the same time, there is seen to be a lot of scope in the government sector for the electrical branch.

Otherwise, the salary package that a branch like IT receives is more than Electrical, since the demand for it is currently at a peak.
