Question 1

What is PCTE Group of Institutes' ranking?

Accepted Answer

PCTE Ludhiana is not currently featured in the NIRF overall or engineering rankings. It has been ranked #73 in the BBA/BMS category by Outlook (2024) and #144 out of 200 institutes for BBA/BMS by Collegedunia (2026). Its Hotel Management programme was ranked #63 by India Today (2024). PCTE is approved by AICTE (Engineering) and PCI (Pharmacy), and is affiliated to I.K. Gujral Punjab Technical University (IKGPTU).

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.

Question 4

What hostel facilities are available at PCTE Ludhiana?

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. Rs. 45,600 to Rs. 72,000 for boys and Rs. 46,600 to Rs. 73,000 for girls, with mess charges billed separately. Hostels include Wi-Fi, study furniture, and 24-hour security; exact room-type availability should be confirmed with the institute's hostel office.
