Punjab Engineering College (PEC) has recently announced the launch of three new undergraduate programs for the upcoming academic session of 2023-2024. These new programs are aimed at providing students with cutting-edge education and training in the fields of electronics engineering, VLSI design and technology, computer science and engineering, and artificial intelligence.
One of the new programs is the BTech in Electronics Engineering with a specialization in Very Large Scale Integration (VLSI) Design and Technology. This program is designed to equip students with the skills and knowledge necessary to design and develop complex electronic systems using VLSI technology. Another program that PEC is introducing is the BDesign program, which focuses on providing students with a comprehensive understanding of design principles and practices. This program aims to develop the creative and technical skills of students, enabling them to design and create innovative products and solutions.
Lastly, PEC is introducing the BTech in Computer Science and Engineering with a specialization in Artificial Intelligence. This program aims to provide students with the knowledge and skills required to design and develop intelligent systems that can learn, reason, and make decisions.
Each of these new programs will have 30 seats, and students who are interested in pursuing a career in these fields can apply for admission to PEC. The launch of these new programs is a testament to PEC’s commitment to providing students with the best education and training possible, and preparing them for the challenges of the future.
Punjab Engineering College (PEC) has announced that admissions for the newly introduced courses will be conducted through different processes. Admission to the BTech courses in Electronics Engineering (VLSI Design and Technology) and Computer Science and Engineering (Artificial Intelligence) will be done through the joint seat allocation authority (JoSAA), alongside other BTech courses.
On the other hand, admission to the BDesign course will be based on the marks secured in National Level Entrance Examinations such as UCEED, NID DAT, JEE Main Paper 2, and NATA. The selection process for this program will be highly competitive, and only the best students will be able to secure admission.
PEC has also announced that there will be a total of 30 seats available for each of the new programs, with 15 seats reserved for students from Chandigarh region and the other 15 for applications from outside Chandigarh. Other reservations will also apply, including quotas for people with disabilities, scheduled castes, and scheduled tribes, among others.

By providing different pathways for admission to these new programs, PEC aims to attract the best and brightest students from all over the country, who are passionate about pursuing careers in these exciting fields.
Starting May 10, PEC will begin accepting online admissions for the BDes program, with a deadline of May 31 for registration. Interested candidates can find more information on the PEC website. The introduction of these new courses was a result of the 102nd senate meeting held on March 17, presided over by Baldev Setia, the director of PEC. The decision was made to keep up with the pace of change in the engineering sector, as well as to stay relevant to the needs of the job market.
In addition to the undergraduate programs, PEC is also set to launch a new postgraduate course, MTech in Computer Aided Design Manufacture and Engineering, in the department of Production and Industrial Engineering. The course will have an intake of 12 seats, with admission criteria and application process to be announced soon.
PEC’s commitment to academic innovation and staying ahead of the curve is evident in its decision to launch these new programs. By introducing courses that cater to the latest advancements in technology and industry trends, PEC is ensuring that its students are well-equipped to handle the demands of the job market and contribute to the growth and development of the industry.
