Question 2

What is the placement record at PCTE Ludhiana?

Accepted Answer

Placement figures are self-reported by the institute and vary by source and year. The most recent reported figures (2025-26 cycle) show a highest package of around Rs. 70-77 LPA and an average package of roughly Rs. 5.2-7.2 LPA across all programmes. MBA-specific placements have reported packages up to Rs. 14 LPA (average ~Rs. 7 LPA). B.Tech student reviews cite a wide range of outcomes (from approx. Rs. 3.6 LPA to higher product-company offers depending on batch and specialization), so prospective students should ask the placement cell for branch-wise, batch-wise data before relying on institute-wide averages.

Question 3

What is the fee for B.Tech at PCTE Ludhiana?

Accepted Answer

Fee varies by specialization and by source/year. Civil Engineering is reported at approx. Rs. 42,250/semester (~Rs. 84,500/year). CSE is reported around Rs. 48,700-50,000/semester (~Rs. 97,400 to Rs. 1,00,000/year), with total 4-year tuition figures cited between Rs. 3.9-4.2 lakh by aggregators. CSE with AI & ML specialization is reported at a similar slab of approx. Rs. 48,700/semester. These figures come from third-party aggregators (Collegedunia, Shiksha, mycampusreview) rather than a single official fee PDF, so students should verify the exact current-year figure directly with the PCTE admissions office before applying.

Accepted Answer

PCTE provides separate boys' and girls' hostels with air-conditioned and non-AC room options (single/double/triple sharing depending on availability). Reported annual hostel fees range from approx.
