Which is better, IT at NIT Kurukshetra or CSE at PEC Chandigarh?

MA
Madhav Aneja Posted On : September 1st, 2023
Lived in Chandigarh, India

One of my cousins was in a similar dilemma last year when she had to choose between PEC and NIT Kurukshetra. Both the colleges are premier engineering colleges offering excellent education and are head-to-head in most factors. However, you may want to consider the following points before making the final decision 

  • In terms of placements and the faculty pool, PEC fares better than NIT Kurukshetra. 
  • Established in 1928, PEC has a richer legacy than NIT Kurukshetra which was established around 1963.
  • NIT Kurukshetra has a bigger and more beautiful campus than PEC.
  • NIT Kurukshetra offers the much coveted NIT tag which PEC does not.

The final decision depends on personal factors like location and future prospects. If you are from Chandigarh choosing PEC will be better.

Which is better, a COE at Thapar or a CSE at IIIT, Una? Does IIT Una come under NIT Hamirpur?

ST
Sugandha Tiwari Posted On : April 1st, 2021
Studied CS from NIT Rourkela (2019)

Currently, IIIT Una facilitates education through two temporary campuses of Dev Bhumy Group of Institutes, Himachal Pradesh and the NIT campus at Hamirpur, the main campus is still under construction and the placement is average. 

The first batch of IIIT Una passed in 2018, with an average salary of INR 3-4 LPA and highest salary of INR 10-12 LPA. In 2020, 90% students were placed and the average salary increased to 8 LPA and the highest to 16 LPA, hence it is being assumed that these statistics will improve in the upcoming years to reach the level of performance of NIT Hamirpur. 

For now, you'd like to know these -

  • NIT Hamirpur has been ranked #98 by NIRF and Thapar ranks #29 on the same.
  • As IIIT Una is working under the aegis of NIT Hamirpur, the institute receives the same companies for placement as does NIT Hamirpur. This year, names like Infosys, Reliance and IBM graced the campus and the highest package offered was INR 62 LPA.
  • For COE, Thapar University students receive an average salary of INR 6-7 LPA.

It is difficult to assume anything in the case of IIIT Una, it has improved from the 2018 statistics, but it cannot be said how successful it'll be in four years' time. Whereas Thapar University is developing well as far as placements are concerned, in 2020 the highest package offered to Thapar University students was INR 39 LPA and 990+ companies made offers to them.

Which one to choose: NSIT's ICE (instrumentation and control eng) OR IIIT UNA CSE?

SA
Simran Arora Posted On : April 1st, 2021
Studied CS from NSIT (2019)

Firstly, you should know that IIIT UNA is a new college and although it has the IIIT tag, it hasn't been ranked by any esteemed Ranking platforms like NIRF. Its classes are also facilitated by NIT Hamirpur's faculty and the campus and faculty are nice. 

As far as NSIT is concerned, it ranks #76 on the NIRF ranking portal for engineering and has a better location in Delhi than Hamirpur, because of the facilities and professional opportunities available. 

Here are some more pointers to help you understand better -

  • If your interest lies in the program rather than the institute, then go for CSE. Although first reflect on the placement scenario of IIIT UNA, whether they receive good companies or not; if the package is satisfactory, and if speedy placements are facilitated after the course is over.
  • When you take a look at NSIT, then you should know that you'd be able to build a good career as a software engineer with the ICE program, but the management will be a little difficult because of the delicate balance between coursework and developing your programming skills.
  • Most ICE alumni are now pursuing MBA or working other non-technical jobs. For non-tech, NSIT offers better opportunities.

Here's a table on the placement scenario-

Parameters

IIIT UNA CSE

NSIT Instrumentation

Placement Rate

Average Salary

INR 6 LPA

INR 6 LPA

Highest Salary

INR 12 LPA

INR 50 LPA

Top Recruiters

Brain, Microsoft, Amazon, Flipkart

Lastly, decide according to your future goals and whether you'd like to pursue CSE or instrumentation.

Which/why is best for CSE: IIIT Una or NIT Uttarakhand?

AK
Ayan Khandelwal Posted On : April 1st, 2021
Studied CSE from UIET Chandigarh (2019)

One of my friends is currently enrolled for the 2022 batch at IIIT UNA. He has completed two years already with a rank below 30,000 and he got into CSE, if you have a rank between 30-36k then you won't have many other options available. 

He had the option to choose between Thapar Institute of Technology, IIIT UNA, and UIET Chandigarh, and unfortunately, the choice of IIIT UNA was a regrettable decision. Firstly it does not have a good rank; secondly, you may see why as follows-

  • NIT Hamirpur is the mentor institute at which my friend’s batch studies as part of the 2022 batch which is the only batch there without any seniors, labs, or societies.
  • Administration-The institute lacks efficient management, it is headed by a dictatorial administrator who likes to make changes without prior announcement. Recently, a fine of INR 5000/subject was imposed on students for a shortage of attendance.
  • Tuition Fees- For each year of the academic program, you'd have to deposit a high Tuition Fee of INR 2.05 LPA, which is steep because of the lack of facilities.
  • College Environment- If you're seeking a happening campus life at IIIT UNA, then you'd be disappointed. There are hardly 2 or 3 clubs like Aavesh and Force, but joining them will be difficult owing to their eligibility criteria.

Lastly, I'd like to highlight the placement scenario as the placement cell clearly states that they are not responsible for the placement provision. Only CSE and IT departments receive some companies, for ECE there are only coding jobs available.

So, Thapar Institute of Technology and UIET Chandigarh are much better in terms of opportunities provided, college life, and alumni support.

52

Total Fees (B.Tech)

Rs. 4.6 Lakhs

Rs. 6.8 Lakhs

Average Salary Offered (CSE)

Rs. 12-13 LPA

Rs. 5-6 LPA

Key Highlights:

  • The curriculum followed by PEC Chandigarh is very much similar to that of IITs. It is updated as per the requirements of the industry. This is a great advantage over the other as NIT Jalandhar follows the same syllabus followed by other NITs across India.
  • PEC Chandigarh provides proper facilities in the institute for the overall development of the student during the course. 
  • Through the engagement of technical societies in PEC, students in CSE get exposure to an in-depth study of subjects relevant to Computer Science and Engineering.

Considering all the above factors, it can be concluded that PEC Chandigarh is, without doubt, a better choice for a B.Tech degree in Computer Science and Engineering.

I was hoping to join Amity University, Noida for computer science engineering. Should I join or not?

RS
Radhika Singh Posted On : April 13th, 2021
B.Tech from Amity University

If you are thinking of joining Amity University, Noida for Computer Engineering, then it would not be an idle choice. 

One of my friends studies at Amity University, Noida, and here are some reasons why you should consider Amity University for Chemical Engineering.

  • Faculty: The faculty of Amity University Chemical Engineering is decent. Some professors are good, but they are limited in number.
  • International College Tie-ups: Amity University has tie-ups with reputed international universities. Students have to manage the cost by themselves, though.
  • Research Facility: There is no proper research facility and faculty. You will not get proper guidance if you are interested in research.
  • Scholarship: To get the scholarship, students have to be in the top 5% and must have a high CGPA. If you manage to get a place in the top 10% then only 50% will be given. And if you fail to do so, you will not be eligible for the scholarship.

Therefore, Amity University, Noida, is a decent choice for Chemical Engineering. You can definitely go for it.
