What should I opt for, DTU Mechanical or PEC (Chandigarh) CSE?
Both the above colleges are really good, so you needn’t worry about that front. You need to first decide which field you have an interest in. If you really have an interest in CSE, only then you should go for PEC. Otherwise, mechanical is a very good branch. Moreover, DTU is known for its mechanical department.
If you are really interested in either of the branches, you should go for it, irrespective of the college you choose. You must first check if you are interested in coding/ development or automobiles, etc. But if you can’t judge your interests, you should go for DTU because Delhi life would offer you more exposure and opportunities. DTU Mechanical is an old, developed branch that is very proud of its heritage.

NMIMS in Bangalore is widely recognized as one of the top business schools in India, with a history of over three decades of successful operation. The reason why companies visit these institutions for placement is due to the reputation and quality of their students. NMIMS is proud to have both of these factors.

Which is better: NIT Uttarakhand or UIET Chandigarh?
NIT Uttarakhand though sounds promising due to the NIT tag but UIET Chandigarh is definitely better than the former. UIET Chandigarh is affiliated to PU (Panjab University), which has a NIRF ranking of 72 whereas NIT Uttarakhand is yet to make it to the NIRF ranking list.
Here are some of the reasons that made me choose UIET over NIT Uttarakhand:
- UIET is affiliated to PU, which is one of the oldest and finest universities in India. Unlike, NIT Uttarakhand which is comparatively a newer institute.
- NIT Uttarakhand is located in the northern part of India, Srinagar. It is close to nature but away from the industrial hub. Unlike UIET which is located in the capital city of Punjab, Chandigarh. This provides exposure to industries and opportunities.
- UIET Chandigarh encourages students to participate in various activities preparing them for their careers ahead.
- The admissions in both of these colleges are through JEE Main.
- Both of these colleges also offer scholarships on a need and merit basis.
The facts in the table will give you an idea about their placements and course fees -

The only drawback of UIET is the poor campus infrastructure. Whereas, NIT Uttarakhand being a newer institute is well-equipped with all the necessary amenities. The infrastructure of NIT Uttarakhand is far better than UIET Chandigarh.
So, it’s a clear choice for you, to go for UIET. The only reason why someone will prefer NIT Uttarakhand over UIET Chandigarh is either for their love of mountains and a beautiful campus or the NIT tag.
