my experience with SPCET

I was a student of SPGC, MOHALI so  I decided to write something about it.
 Swami Parmanand Group of Colleges is situated in the village of Jaulan Kalan, near Lalru in the district of Mohali.
The college is easily reachable from the major cities nearby like Ambala, Chandigarh, Mohali, Patiala and Panchkula.
Buses run frequently from these cities to Lalru which is the nearest bus stop.
If you are coming from Ambala then look for a bus for Chandigarh and ask the conductor if it stops at Lalru.
 From Lalru you can take an auto rikshaw which will leave you to college gate and charge you around Rs. 10.

This college group has emerged as a renowned group of institutions in Punjab.
There are 3 colleges in the campus; namely, Swami Parmanand College of Engineering and Technology (S.P.C.E.T.), Swami Parmanand Engineering College (S.P.E.C.) and Swami Parmanand Polytechnic (S.P.P.).
   One can easily find students from all over north India in the college campus from states like Punjab, Haryana, Jammu & Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh, Delhi/ NCR, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Jharkhand, Uttarakhand and even from distant North-Eastern states.

In all my years of degree, I have never felt like being away from home as you can easily find some friends from your town or state.
Its very homely here.
The accomodation facility for students is also good, as college provides good hostels in campus, seperately for both girls and boys.
But you cannot be very demanding when it comes to food. You will definately not like the food after some time as the menu does not change.
 The food is healthy but it may not suit your taste on daily basis.
And also do not waste time in complaining to warden as it is of no use.

But do not worry about food much, because there is a very good canteen in the campus where you can get a variety of food during college hours and even after the college hours.

The academic part in this college is totally up to you.
If you are an average student don't expect the faculties to do some magic work for you.
 There are many university toppers from this college and on the other hand, there are many who have lots of reappears with them.
The teaching staff is not very experienced here but is very helpful.
You can contact any lecturer any time as they are ready to help everytime you approach them.
The nearest shopping place from the college is in the village of Malakpur which is 0.5 km from the college gate.
Here you can find all the miscelleneous items of your need.
If you wish for some big shopping then you should go to Lalru, or even Ambala or Chandigarh if your shopping list is a bit longer.

Many of the students also reside in flats or PGs nearby areas like Malakpur and Lalru.
Also, if you can afford, then you can look for rooms in Ambala or Chandigarh also.
The PGs here provide the food also but if you are in seperate flat then you have too arrange for your food yourself.

About placements:
Keep one thing in mind, whatever the college tells you about its placement records please don't believe that because there would be hardly even 30% of truth in that.
 Most of the companies which visit the campus (don't think that many companies visit here) are the training institutes which select you in so-called campus placement and enroll you for some course and even charge you for that.
 The college counts that as placement and proudly displays the name list which is entirely a lie because this is not placement.
 The truth is that there are not even 5% student placed from about 1000 students from colleges group which pass out every year.
 This pathetic situation is not only in this college but in many colleges of India.
But its more severe here.
 If you want to do engineering to get placed in some good companies then please take admission in some good reputed colleges, even if it costs you one or two extra years after your 10+2 else you will waste you valuable 4 years for nothing like I did. Its ok if you have someone to refer you in good company, else doing such a degree is of no use.
