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.
