The office offers free counselling to students on individual or group basis. The counselling cell also provides testing facilities which includes psychological testing and psychiatry.

The counselling cell has a peer help group fondly known as “Happy Folks” of PEC comprising students from all branches and years. They are the volunteers who work in order to create a cheerful atmosphere in the college by organizing regular interactive activities and motivating sessions, always ready to work for the welfare of the students.

The youth of today are on the fast track to compete with one another to excel in every field. As a flip side to it they are subjected to lot of stress and pressure. Most often these pent up emotions lead to depression or mishandled outbursts. To ease out these bottled up emotions the college has a counseling centre and guidance cell that offers comfort, relief and confidentiality. With an in house counsellor available at all time the students receive personal and professional guidance in every aspect of life.

The institution has a full time Counselor to provide guidance and to help students in their personal problems. The services of the counselor are available to the students.

 As mentors, faculty guide mentees in their personal and academic matters, and maintain a record of their academic and personal profile. The mentor directs the mentee to the college counselor for guidance if needed.
