Is civil engineering at NIT, Kurukshetra better than CSE (computer science and engineering) at PEC University of Technology?

It's difficult to choose one between NIT Kurukshetra Civil and OEC Chandigarh CSE because both branches are different with diverse scopes and opportunities. You will have to consider a lot of parameters while choosing one of these Personally I will suggest you opt for the CS branch unless you have any specific inclination towards civil engineering or any other branch. The excellent placements of this branch are not the only reason I am suggesting you go for it. The courses taught are rather easy and can be covered through self-study which may not be possible for Civil. You are aware of the academic situation of most engineering colleges these days. Most professors have no interest in teaching. I believe that if you can get CS in PEC you can also get CS in NIT Kurukshetra. It has a better alumni network so it's a better option than PEC. Civil students will have options like research internships, masters or Ph.D. later, get into IES, etc. Here is a comparison of a few statistics that might help you further make a well-informed decision.

Those who are matrix students are returned.

College glance

So coming upon the fee structure policy in this college there is reduction in tution fees on the basis of income certificate like if u have less than one lakh income per annum your tution fee will be not taken and if it is less than five lakh you will get fifty percent compensation and on the basis of studies you have scholarship like if you topped in a perticular semester you will be given scholarship

It is a must that you have to maintain minimum 75% attendance to avoid getting detained.

You can avail many scholarships provided by state government and central government all are updated in the institute website. The fee structure of the institute is designed as per the annual income of the applicant family. If your family income is less than 60,000 then no academic fee is levied on you.
