The Beginning
PCTE (Punjab College of Technical Education) was first institute established by Punjab Management Education Trust in 1999. It was a response to certain fundamental changes taking place in the Indian education system then. Technical education took a new dimension in the India's emerging fields. India's banking system, insurance, telecom sector and capital markets had seen an overhauling change in the fabric, and it was evident that a predictable large gap existed between the requirement in the market and the available skilled professionals available in the country.
The Journey
PCTE addressed this unprecedented demand for evolved professionals in the fast growing world of Management and IT and then expanded to Pharmacy, Biotechnology, Airlines, Hotel Management et al. Now PCTE Group of Institutions has four institutes offering different courses in two campuses Near Baddowal Cantt on Ferozpur Road.

Pedagogy
Learning is the foundation for personal growth and wise decision making. PCTE has been successful enough in creating an enriching learning environment both within and without the classrooms. We believe and enforce the concept of PARTICIPATIVE learning, wherein students are free to put up their points on management truths and thus evolve not only as mere adopters but as explorers of new horizons and think beyond visible limits. That is how, PCTE has excelled in various fields whether in academics or cultural & literary.
To prepare the students to face the challenges of the complex business and organizational environment we use various teaching techniques like Lectures, case analysis, presentations, simulation games and exercises, quiz contests, group discussions, term papers, videos, on-field activities, guest lectures, brain storming sessions, workshops, Industrial visits and practical project work.
Students' performance is assessed through a continuous system of tests, quizzes, assignments and mid-term and semester-end examination to ensure highest academic standards as well as practical orientation.
Placements
We have close working relationships with key personnel from a range of local, national and international organizations.
