The students actually pool in funds and invest in the market for learning. A portfolio of scrips is planned and managed by the students every year, who are themselves responsible for all decisions regarding the buying and selling of scrips. They manage all financial activities related to bank account, financial decisions and D-mat account.

Koshish is an intra-class cultural and literary extravaganza,[81][82][83][84][85] held in the month of September–October every year, in line with developing the confidence and providing exposure to the students. Classes compete among themselves in varied events to lift the overall trophy. As many as 1,700 students of PCTE participate each year,[86] showcasing their talent and abilities in dozens of different cultural and literary events like British parliamentary debate, solo dance, short skit, western group dance, dumb charades, turn coat, fashion show, face painting etc. International delegation may also be invited as guests of honor at the festival.[87]

Ehsaas is PCTE’s international, inter-institutional cultural-cum-literary festival.[88][89][90][91] Since year 2000, it has been organized multiple times both in India and in Pakistan. Events at Ehsaas may include a car rally,[92] "dumb charades, face painting",[93] "a fashion show, folk and western dances, solo and duet singing, mime, one act plays, fusion music, poetry etc."[91] At Ehsaas 2006, 700 students participated on four teams from Pakistan – NCBA & E-Lahore, FAST-Peshawar, IQRA-Islamabad, and SZABIST-Islamabad – and 25 professional institutes from various parts of India, and around 6000 visitors attended the show.

The Institute of Hotel Management at PCTE also organises a food festival called Daawat-e-Khas. The event combines ethnic foods of India – both popular dishes and unusual fare – with live music.[94]

Students also organize other events. One example is a singing contest organized in 2009 by the PCTE Institute of Hotel Management.[95] Another example is a 2010 cross-country run with a theme that promoted traffic safety and warned participants to "Say no to drugs".[96]
