A Brief information about Pondicherry Engineering College (PEC):

Pondicherry Engineering College was established in 1984 by MHRD, Government of India under the Seventh Five Year Plan to meet the requirement of an engineering institution in the Union Territory of Puducherry.  Ever since its inception, the University has maintained a steady academic and research growth both vertically and horizontally with an aim to offer quality technical education and cater to the diverse requirements of the industries besides the expectation of the prevailing societal system. The University currently offers 9 UG and fourteen PG programmes in core engineering disciplines besides MCA, M.Sc and PhD programmes in all engineering disciplines and basic sciences. As the first University (erstwhile engineering college) in the Union Territory of Puducherry, it preserves its uniqueness among all professional institutions which were started later. The University enjoys significant autonomy for administration. The institution was initially affiliated to Pondicherry University and has been granted ‘permanent affiliation’ as the first and significant step towards attainment of academic autonomy and obtained Autonomous status from 2014-15 onwards.  

PTU is ranked in the band of (150 – 200) in the Engineering Category by NIRF India Rankings 2023

The major strengths of the institution are its location, well-connected by land and air routes to major cities in India, highly qualified faculty with 98% doctorate, diverse student population from across the country and from foreign countries and latest infrastructure facilities with state-of-the-art laboratories in the emerging fields of Engineering / Technology. PTU (erstwhile PEC) alumni are spread far and wide across the globe holding eminent positions in top global Corporates, Universities and Civil Services. The University, preserving its brand name, attracts the meritorious students of UT of Puducherry in addition to students from neighboring states. The placement of students through campus is progressive since inception which includes top recruiters viz., HP, TCS, ZOHO, HCL, QualComm, Mbit Wireless, Accenture, NOKIA, INFOSYS, RELIANCE, CTS, L&T INFOTECH. PTU / PEC is recognized as a feeder institution by many of the Universities in USA, UK and Australia as well.

 In addition to that, Atal Incubation Centre (AIC) PEC Foundation enables the budding entrepreneurs to showcase and test their abilities to run a start up business in the emerging area of engineering / technology.

NPTEL - PTU Ranked as 17th and awarded with AA Rating  at IIT Chennai (2022).

PTU has been rated ‘AAAA’ certification and recognized as the one of the best Engineering institutes in the year 2023 by CAREERS 360. Recently PTU received the prestigious “IEEE India Council award”.

Considering all these aspects, the strategic plan for institutional development has been prepared with the following specific vision: “To evolve into a university of global eminence through transformative learning and research in frontier areas of engineering and technology towards developing holistic technology leaders, innovators and entrepreneurs”.

More details on the curriculum, regulations and syllabi can be seen at the Academic Portal.

Rules For Change Branch

The branches allotted to the students at the end of all the rounds of JoSAA and special allocation rounds of CSAB are changeable only at the end of the second semester. The Dean(Academics) will issue a circular to all the students inviting applications for branch change. The branch change will be allotted based on the merit (CGPA) secured by the students during the first two semesters and the availability of vacant seats at the time of counseling for branch change.

PTU admits students under two categories, viz. (i) CENTAC (Centralised Admission Committee, Govt. of Puducherry) for the native students of U.T. of Puducherry (fee payable is Rs. 32,101 approximately) and (ii) JoSAA/CSAB for the Other States quota and All India category (Self-Support seats only - fee payable is Rs.1,62,401 / Rs.87,401). 

Accordingly, the vacant seats, if any under self-support schemes only will be allotted by the Dean(Students) for change of branches subject to the availability and other merit positions. That is, even if vacancies exist at the beginning of second year under CENTAC admitted category, the students admitted through JoSAA/CSAB are not eligible for branch change. The fee applicable for self-support will be applicable for the entire course duration.

If a candidate has registered himself/herself through the CENTAC portal for self-support scheme, then he/she may get a chance to migrate to a branch of their choice at the time of mop up round conducted by CENTAC for the unfilled seats of JoSAA/CSAB. If such a candidate is a native of U.T. of Puducherry, then he/she shall even switch over from Self-Support course to the CENTAC vacancy. This switch over is not admissible for Other State Candidates.

The students having doubts, if any may contact the Admissions Coordinator by sending a mail to admissions@ptuniv.edu.in
