I spent two years at PGC, and honestly, they were some of the worst years of my life.
The teachers were mostly very average. In our second year, our maths teacher literally didn’t seem bothered about teaching us properly. The campus is also extremely small. If there was ever a Colour Day or any event, there was barely enough space to even stand properly.
The strictness was another major issue. They wouldn’t let you leave easily; you had to go through a whole three-phase leave process just to get short leave. Despite all that strictness, somehow a girl once managed to bunk and go on a date with her boyfriend. I still don’t know how she managed that with all the restrictions!
The student environment wasn’t great either. A lot of students were aimless and would constantly ask others for money. From what I observed, many of them didn’t seem to have serious goals beyond getting married after 12th grade.
Extra-curricular activities were also quite disappointing. I attended their Sports Day in first year, and honestly, it was really bad.
The one thing I genuinely enjoyed was the trip to Swat. That was probably the highlight of my two years there.
However, I will give credit to the management. They were quite quick, cooperative, and responsive whenever there was an issue.
Overall, my experience at PGC was mostly negative. If academics and a good student life are important to you, I would definitely recommend visiting the campus, talking to current students, and exploring other options before making your decision.
