Life in PCTE

As I have opted for BCA, which is 3 years programme. I choose this course as I wanted my career to be continued in the computer science field. This college provides both theory and practical education. The faculty is very helpful and have much knowledge about the subjects they are teaching. They always try to solve our problems. We have various presentations, projects and tests too. Mid-term examinations (MSE) are held twice per semester and thrice too if the number of students failing the internals is more. Third MSE is a kind of improvement test for one's who have missed previous Mse or scored very fewer marks. The exam is of moderate level, it's an easy one to pass only for those who prepare for the whole syllabus. So overall course structure is good.

Talking about the placements there is a placement cell on campus for the students who want to apply for the placements they join the particular cell and various sessions are held for the students so that they can be prepared for the aptitude test or other interview hacks. In the second last semester, the students get the opportunity to give an interview for the company that will come. It depends on the student in which company they want their placement. If I get selected, they can go to the companies in the last semester on NOC. The number of students in the placement cell is less because most students want to study after their degree or abroad plans. The placement percentage is around 90% out of all the students present in the cell. After the degree, my plan would be to join a company by giving an interview and it will depend on me which company I will go to for an interview or I will go abroad and study further.

The fee structure is minimal. It is approximately 48000 per year for a BCA student as compared to 60000 in other colleges. For a good education with minimal fees, this college is a better option. Students can also apply for scholarships in case they want to get benefits. Also, fee concession is given to students with genuine problems. Various companies visit the college to give guest lectures and also for placement opportunities.

Campus life is a good one. There are many clubs to join like dance, music, literature, fashion, sports, EOA ( Events on Air), Social club, health and fitness club and many more. Various sports like badminton, volleyball, basketball, football, cricket, pool, and table tennis are there that students can play in their free time. In every odd semester, the Koshish cultural fest is organised which is an inter-class competition. It is a 2-3 day fest. One class from each junior and senior wing wins the overall trophy. No extra money on buying books is incurred. Books can be borrowed from the library easily. Every even semester, Athena tech fest is conducted for students which include coding, extempore, etc. Apart from this, in the BCA course, there are various activities like Rawar (in which students are made in groups and we have to perform some tasks in the general public). Various parties are also held from time to time to celebrate the events like Diwali night, Christmas party, Holi party, etc.

It is very easy. Institute gives the chance to students to consult teachers and the teachers question the student cum interview. On knowing about the student's interests and skills, teachers suggest the right course one must opt for. So it is a good opportunity for students to have options. They also give a campus tour if we ask so. After that, we have to submit documents like the 10th and 12th mark sheet, character certificates from school, migration certificate, and if not general then caste certificate too. And we have to submit fees also in order to confirm our admission. So it is an easy to process.
