Both colleges are equally good in their own respective ways. Though according to placement records SLIET is better than BCE. Though this placement record changes every year with the participation of more students and the recruiting companies. It lastly depends on the student’s preference of location, affordability, environment and subject provided by the colleges and which they find suitable.
To be honest, it's negligible; yes, this is the word that no one wants to hear when deciding on a career path. But why should I brag if it's not true? So here's why:
First, unlike EE or mechanical, food technology is not a core branch. India is still a developing country, and we consume less processed food than people in Western countries. The vast majority of the population is vegetarian and animal products require most of the processing.
Even though we have access to processed foods in the market, we prefer to purchase local items at the local market than from a supermarket.
The same thing occurs with fruits and vegetables. Because there is no room for negotiation in the sealed product, and it is quite expensive, it has gone through a series of processing units
Food technology is not a bad field but its scope is much wider in foreign countries than in India. You can go for a PG course from some of the best colleges like CFTRIS, and develop other necessary skills. You will barely be able to get a decent job in S.L.I.E.T with only a graduate degree, but before you take food tech, think properly that you really want to do it or not.
The annual technical festival of Sant Longowal Institute of Engineering and Technology, Sangrur, Punjab (SLIET) is one of the oldest technical fests. Some of my close friends studied there, so I might be able to give you some basic information.
You can also visit the campus of SLIET (Techfest) and enquire about it on your own. Look for an application form that is specifically for the position of Campus Ambassador. Do not be surprised if there isn't any such program offered there. Just check their website or give them a call or just drop a mail to them asking about SLIET.
Along with your diploma course, you should pursue your degree course in engineering. In this competitive world having only one diploma will not serve the purpose. For this, you need a degree.
As for the diploma, Sant Longowal Institue of Engineering and Technology is a good option. I have heard good things about their CSE diploma program from my friends who attend the institute. You can also go for other options if you have any.
But I will suggest that don’t rely solely on your diploma, for job offers. Doing a degree after the completion of your diploma will certainly make you more eligible for future job offers. After the completion of your degree program, you will notice that you will get an ample amount of opportunities as compared to your diploma program.
Overall Sant Longowal Institue of Engineering and Technology is good you will get ample amount of opportunity for growth and development.
