Your willingness to pursue this particular stream should be the sole reason you opt for it. It should not be based on anyone’s opinion. Every stream is unique in its own way.

Biotechnology is a tough choice as there are not many opportunities available to its students in India. If you are expecting good placement opportunities after finishing this course from UIET, then you will be disappointed. 

But, if you want to go for research work after this then it is no doubt the perfect choice for you. Since not many go for this subject, you would have an upper hand. You will find students opting for this stream just because they didn’t their desired branch. 

Here’s a brief overview of the Biotechnology course offered at the institute.

Biotechnology in UIET would be a good option only if you’re willing to go for a master’s or any other research work as the placements here are not even satisfactory.

UIET Chandigarh may not be the best institute for B.E. CSE as very few faculty members provide quality learning to students. But if you are already into coding, then it really does not matter. 

To sail through CSE in any other college (including UIET), apart from IIT, you need to keep in mind that CSE covers the overall computer learnings, starting from silicon to single printf. You need to focus on the concepts and core subjects like Operating System, Computer Architecture, Digital Electronics, Principles of Compiler Design, and Computer Networks. No institute can provide a surety to develop your coding skills. It depends upon your self-improvements.

Here’s a highlight of the CSE program at UIET. 

If you want to develop coding skills, learn online using Linux, gcc, vim. Apart from the lack of coding culture life at UIET is great, you will have a good college life.

Some of my friends attended UIET Chandigarh and UIET Hoshirpur, so I have some information regarding the placement at these institutes.

As both the colleges UIET Chandigarh and UIET Hoshiarpur are part of Punjab university, the students visit the Punjab University for placements. Companies do visits there. Sometimes students of UIET Hoshiarpur have to visit UIET Chandigarh for placements. The students of both colleges are given different slots.

But both the colleges have their own placement cells. The placement depends on these placement cells. The companies like Infosys and Sufi visit both colleges. In such cases, the placements take place on the same date and at the same time.

Hope this clears your doubts.

I might not have appropriate information on GTBIT (IPU) but one of my cousins studied at UIET Chandigarh. So, I will be able to give you some information about UIET.

He also was a CSE graduate, and according to him, CSE is quite good there. Though he is a bit unsure about the placements nowadays due to the Covid-19 outbreak.

Other than that, in terms of infrastructure, faculty, academics, and reputation UIET is really up to the mark. They also encourage students to participate in seminars, industry visits, and internships. It will give you enough exposure and an understanding of the corporate world.

You can easily opt for CSE at UIET. There is a huge demand for computer engineers. Many popular companies like Google, Microsoft, Accenture, TCS, HCL, HP, etc. take part in their placement program and also offer internships. Thus studying CSE at UIET Chandigarh might be a good step ahead for your career.

Both the colleges are good at their place but it depends upon your perspective that what you expect from your college life. 

• If you live in Chandigarh and opt for UIET, you will remain in your comfort zone of your home city. 
• But instead of staying in your city and deciding to get admission to VIT, Vellore, you learn many things during your undergraduate life. 
• Eventually, when you stay in a hostel away from your parents you start taking complete responsibility for food, studies, laundry, etc. This will in your future make you independent. 
• In Chandigarh, you will get independence only when you get a job in some other state and have to move out of the city. It will be like a drastic change in your life.
• Meeting new people will always help you to make connections and you will receive enough exposure.

If you compare the quality of education that is provided in both UIET and VIT, you can determine this easily by talking to the students who are studying as they have real-life experience of the campus. But the fee structure of UIET is comparatively lower than that of VIT as the college comes under a center-funded state university.

Both these branches are completely different in terms of the course content and then the future job description as well, so the important thing here is to know what you want and how you want to shape your future. 

Comparison:

• If you are interested in coding then you should go for IT at UIET where you may not have the most appealing packages but if you do great in that college with good grades in all 4 years then you will definitely land a well-paying job at a company like TCS or Infosys. 
• If you choose to do production engineering at NIT Agartala then there are some things that should be kept in mind, the branch itself isn’t well established and is average when you talk about faculties and the overall quality. 
• However, the NIT tag will be beneficial for your career throughout your professional life. 
• In NIT Agartala if you want to change your branch from Production Engineering to CSE or ECE, you need to maintain a minimum CGPA of 8.5 in the 1st semester. It also depends on the availability of seats in the branches that you are applying for.

The table below gives an insight into the IT program at UIET and Production Engineering program at NIT Agartala.

NIT is a prestigious government institute and its name on your degree adds a lot of weight to it but the major deciding factor here should always be what you want to do in terms of the course in both these fields. So, if you are interested in coding and want to pursue a career in the IT sector go for IT at UIET. Even if you fail to secure a job through placement, you can opt for off-campus placements.

UIET and CCET are colleges situated in the same city. This makes them quite similar. The only varying factors are placement and campus life. I have my friends in both of the colleges and they have mentioned a few points which may help you to find a better college out of both.

• As the location of both the colleges is beautiful, both of the colleges get equal points here.
• The campus life of UIET is lively and you will get to enjoy university life there. Moreover, I have heard from my friends that students from CCET come to UIET campus to hang out and enjoy the ambiance. The students of CCET have to come to Punjab University for many formalities. Thus, UIET wins a point here as well.
• UIET and CCET have almost the same average package yet, UIET is seen offering a somewhat higher amount than CCET. The placement record for IT at UIET is unbeatable.

Now, let’s look at the recent placement statistics of CCET and UIET.

Go through these factors and choose the college according to your requirements and expectations.
