PEC Chandigarh is a great option for pursuing Electrical Engineering. It is one of the oldest and most reputed technical colleges in the country. You will get good exposure and placement opportunities.
During the recent PEC Chandigarh placement, students of Electrical Engineering received an average CTC of around INR 8 LPA. The highest CTC offered for the branch was INR 18 LPA. JP Morgan, Honda, Maruti, etc. visited the campus placements to recruit students.
Both Electrical Engineering and Mechanical Engineering at PEC Chandigarh are great options. You should choose one of these courses based on your preference. The placement opportunities offered are similar, except Mechanical students are allowed for less number of coding job profiles. So, if you are interested in coding, choosing Electrical will be better. According to PEC Chandigarh placement highlights of recent years, the average CTC for these branches stays in the range of INR 5-12 LPA.
If you think statistically, then PEC Chandigarh is better than NIT Kurukshetra. Considering this, the following reasons are listed:

Besides, the internship records of this institute can be compared with old IITs. Students of PEC get approximately 169 internship opportunities, of which 24 were pre-placement offers. Many students also get the opportunity to join as a research intern in a renowned foreign university, a tenure of 6 months.
So, if you to take admission in an institute considering your future with an average package of 10 LPA, then it must be noted that the student strength and competition in PEC are less than NIT Kurukshetra.
One of my friends is doing B. Tech at Punjab Engineering College, Chandigarh, so I can provide you with some information about the college and how it functions.
In the following table, you will get the placement record of B.Tech at PEC.

The placement percentage of B.Tech students at Punjab Engineering College is 93%. In this percentage, all the students who have CGPA above 6.5 are eligible to sit for placement, also included in this.
Companies that recapture B.Tech students are Exl Services, Alstom, Goldman Sachs, etc. The average package offered to students is below INR 10 LPA.
Therefore, Electrical Engineering placements for B.Tech students at Punjab Engineering College, Chandigarh, are decent. The package offered to students might be low, but almost every student gets placed.
I have two friends who are Electrical Engineering graduates from PEC and are currently working in a good IT company. One of them was also among the only two people who cracked directly written.
Being from an electrical background, it can be tough to learn coding in your free time and also cope up with your syllabus and keep your grades high. But if you are persistent you can definitely do it. You might also need to study some CS/IT subjects like DBMS while learning to code. As many students of the institute suggest to secure a job in an IT company you have to take off-campus routes, as most of the top companies are not open for interviews for the Electrical branch at PEC Chandigarh.
But yes, it is possible to land a job at an IT company even after completing ELE if you can learn to code properly and work hard enough to make yourself prepare for the job.
As these are two distinct branches of engineering, you should pursue a topic that piques your interest.
Categories | CS at Thapar Patiala | Electrical at PEC Chandigarh |
Course Fee | 13.23 lakh | 6.39 lakh |
Highest CTC | 20 LPA | 8-10 LPA |
Average CTC | 11 LPA | 6 LPA |
Recruiting Companies | Wipro, Infosys, TCS, IBM, etc. | Phillips, L&T, JP Morgan, TCS, etc. |
It all depends on what you're interested in. If you are interested in CS, then choose Thapar (if fees are not an issue) or electrical in PEC Chandigarh.
Two years ago, one of my friends was in the same situation. He could have taken electrical and sit for every company’s placements. If he chooses mechanical, then only core opportunities are open. Given the circumstances, he chose electrical in the first round of counseling. It was so because he would at least get a chance to sit in almost every business.
Sitting in a good company does not guarantee a good job, and mechanical engineering at PEC is far superior to that of many NITs and even IITs. Trusting his seniors and teachers, he switched to mechanical on the spot round to which he doesn't regret till now.
If you're interested in electrical, go for it. Since my friend had no particular interest in any of these subjects, he preferred mechanical over electrical.
The cutoffs are released after the spot round. So, it’s difficult to say what is the required cutoff for Electrical branch in the spot round at PEC Chandigarh.
But assuming that you are from the open/general category, these are the starting cut-off ranks for recent years.

Since the number of seats in PEC is the same as last year (no increase or decrease) you can expect fairly the same ranks this year too. So, work hard and make sure you get in the rank range.
