NIT Kurukshetra or PEC Chandigarh are the best options for you. You can certainly cross NIT Jalandhar off your list.
The practical labs at NITJ are not well-equipped, and the majority of the equipment is broken. The faculty, on the other hand, is excellent. You should not make NITJ your top priority.
It depends on what it is that you want as both are different subjects. It depends on your preference. According to my cousin who studied CSE at MNIT, if you want a challenging job and you are aiming for PSUs, then mechanical engineering may be good. But the placements of mechanical even in top colleges like IITs will be lower than their CSE counterparts.

Mechanical engineering is going to be tougher even at IITs to secure a job. However, with some struggle, hard work, and years of experience, you may land a PSU job. However, CSE is not easy but getting an initial start to your career is easier in this branch with a good starting salary.
Pick the one which suits you better according to your career choice and the career progression you want after some years.
CUSAT SOE Mechanical is better than FISAT. It is among the most reputed technological institutes in the region. CUSAT offers excellent facilities and opportunities. The Mechanical department has a brilliant faculty base.
According to CUSAT placements of recent years, the average CTC for Mechanical branch is around INR 5 LPA. Godrej, L&T, Vedanta, etc. are among the core companies that recruit through the campus drive. PSU and IT companies also recruit Mechanical Students.
Both Electrical Engineering and Mechanical Engineering at PEC Chandigarh are great options. You should choose one of these courses based on your preference. The placement opportunities offered are similar, except Mechanical students are allowed for less number of coding job profiles. So, if you are interested in coding, choosing Electrical will be better. According to PEC Chandigarh placement highlights of recent years, the average CTC for these branches stays in the range of INR 5-12 LPA.
Heritage Institute of Technology is one of the best private technological institutes in the region. It is a good option for Mechanical Engineering. The department has a dedicated faculty base. The professors have good experience in their respective fields. The facilities and infrastructure offered are decent.
Heritage Institute of Technology, Kolkata placement highlights shows around 90% of students from Mechanical get placed through the campus drive. While the average CTC offered is around INR 4.5 LPA.
Most of the faculty members at Navrachana University are alumni from IITs and it is worth it to pursue Mechanical engineering. This university is a good place if you want to prepare for the GATE examinations. It follows the exact syllabus for GATE and engineering services.
The pattern of teaching at Navrachana University is different from that of Gujarat Technological University (GTU). You will be asked questions in any pattern in the examination. You will not be asked to follow any standard books but a lot of reference books instead.
Following is the pattern of examination followed by Navrachana University:
The mid-semester and quizzes are considered like internal assessments in which scoring a minimum of 18 marks are mandatory to be eligible for the end semester exam. Scoring a minimum of 12 marks is mandatory in the end-semester exam. If you fail to obtain the minimum marks, you will have to appear for the exams again.
A minimum attendance of 80% is mandatory otherwise you will not be allowed to appear for the exams. Do not bunk the lectures as they are very informative and you will enjoy every bit of it. However, the environment at the campus is chill and no one will force you to attend the classes.
NIT Uttarakhand is the last choice of the majority of students among all other NITs. It has the lowest ranking, poor placement records, and no awards or academic excellence. It is considered a Tier 4 institute.
On the other hand, IET Lucknow is a prestigious institution, especially for engineering students. It is one of the best UPSEE institutes in Lucknow. Moreover, it is considered academically strong and has earned good recognition.
Check the following table for a brief insight on relevant statistics of both institutes:
| Particulars | IET Lucknow | NIT Uttarakhand |
| Total Fees | 3.44 Lakhs | 5.87 Lakhs |
| Highest Package | 36 LPA | 10.5 LPA |
| Average Package | 5 LPA | 6.8 LPA |
| Total Offers | 100+ | 90 |
Generally, ECE is better than ME but it applies to the institutes which are nearly on the same level. In this scenario, pursuing ME from IET Lucknow would be the better option in terms of placements, a recognition that would later help you in finding a job through off-campus placement.
CGC Landran has a good reputation and is better known for placements of CSE/IT/ECE (IT Sector related streams). Mechanical stream placement of the college is averagely rated. The institute offers training for placement to its students.
Few core companies visit for the mechanical branch. The college claims that Mechanical branch recruiters like Bajaj and Mahindra and Mahindra visit their campus but the number of placements from these companies is low.
The average placement package of B. tech 2019 batch is 4.5 LPA and 1-2 students from a batch of 80 got packages of more than 9 lakh in IT-related branches. Most students in non-IT related branches land 3-4 LPA jobs.
Many students of mechanical branches here study coding to get placed in the IT Sector.
Placements Statistics:
The 2018-19 placement records have shown that 40-50% of students from the Mechanical department, among the eligible, were placed with median packages between 3 to 4 LPA. The year 2017-18 had shown almost the same results previously.
Most of these placements are in non-core sectors.
At last, if a student is skilful and has knowledge at par with the concerned industry standard then they will surely find good placement irrespective of college. There are some examples of students who did outstanding and got placed in top mechanical core companies like Royal Enfield, Mahindra & Mahindra and Bajaj.
