There are two mega inter-collegiate events in PCCoE.

Techlligent
Spectrum

Techlligent was the biggie with events conducted at a grand scale in college, witnessing participants all over the state coming in to be a part of the event. Sadly though this event has been discontinued after some budget related controversy crept up. Techlligent 2012 conducted under the guidance of Prof. Rawandale Sir is reportedly still one of the best this college has ever witnessed!

Spectrum on the other hand is just restricted to FE students from colleges all over the state. This event too has managed to organize some amazing competitions in the past couple of years!
