Owing its existence long before India got independence, Punjab Engineering College (PEC) retained its present name and status in 1954. This became possible when the college shifted its base from Pakistan to Chandigarh. The institute was recognised by the name of Punjab College of Engineering & Technology before partition. It got renamed as East Punjab Engineering College after 1947. It got its present name when UGC granted it the status of Deemed University in 2004. Starting with merely two departments of engineering of civil & mechanical, this institute continuously made efforts to expand its arena, therby adding a big list of courses on its board.

The institute provides the best state-of-art infrastructure to its students which includes numerous libraries and laboratories for various engineering departments. The huge campus, which is extended to acres and acres of land is divided into several areas like hostels, Main College Building, Administration Block and Residential Complex for staff and faculty. The present Director of PEC is Dr. Vijay Gupta.
