Chandigarh Engineering College (CEC) at CGC University, Mohali, has reached a significant academic milestone with the National Board of Accreditation (NBA) accrediting its B.Tech Computer Science & Engineering (CSE) and B.Tech Electronics & Communication Engineering (ECE) programmes. This achievement stands as a strong affirmation of the institution’s commitment to quality education, academic rigour, and future-ready learning.
NBA accreditation is widely recognised as a hallmark of excellence in technical education. More than a formal recognition, it is a proof of the credibility, relevance, and robustness of the academic ecosystem at Chandigarh Engineering College. The accreditation assures students, parents, recruiters, and academic stakeholders that a CEC degree meets stringent national benchmarks and aligns with globally accepted educational standards.
For students, this accreditation translates into tangible academic and professional advantages. NBA-accredited programmes are periodically evaluated by expert committees to ensure outcome-based education, continuous improvement, and academic excellence. Graduates from these programmes enjoy enhanced recognition among recruiters, gaining a competitive advantage in placements, internships, and long-term career progression.
With NBA’s alignment to the Washington Accord, CEC students also benefit from smoother pathways for higher education and professional opportunities in countries such as the USA, the UK, Australia, and other leading global destinations. The upgraded curriculum, strong industry integration, modern infrastructure, and emphasis on hands-on learning ensure that students are well prepared to meet real-world challenges with confidence and competence.
Beyond student outcomes, the accreditation strengthens the institution’s academic standing. It enables access to government funding, research projects, and greater academic autonomy, while driving continuous improvements in infrastructure, faculty development, teaching methodologies, and learning resources. Most importantly, it reinforces national trust, institutional credibility, and academic prestige.
This milestone reflects Chandigarh Engineering College’s focused pursuit of excellence and its vision to deliver education that is credible, relevant, and globally aligned.
