Which college should I take for mechanical engineering? I am confused among PEC Chandigarh, NIT Kurukshetra, and NIT Jalandhar.

NIT Kurukshetra or PEC Chandigarh are the best options for you. You can certainly cross NIT Jalandhar off your list. The practical labs at NITJ are not well-equipped, and the majority of the equipment is broken. The faculty, on the other hand, is excellent. You should not make NITJ your top priority.

Reality Check : Studying surviving and thriving at NIT Kurukshetra

Dislikes

While the rigorous curriculum was beneficial for academic growth, the academic schedule felt over whelming as we had classes from 9 am to 7 pm

Fees and Financial Aid:

The fee structure includes tution fees, student welfare fund, seat rent, etc., which totals 1,11,500 for the first semester. Thereafter, it varies by semester: ruppees 83000 for even semester and reupees 89000 for odd semesters exluding the mess charges which are about 34500 for each semester. The college provides a 2/3 tution fee wavier for students having family income less than rupees 5 lakhs per annum, and a full tution fee wavier for SC, ST, PwD, and students with a family income below ruppees 1 lakh per annum. The fee structure remains the same throughout the duration of course and does not change. One can find the detailed fee structure on the institute's website

The honest review - National Institute of Technology Kurukshetra

We have machine learning and AI course even for the core branches like mine. They focus more on practical knowledge over theoretical. Multiple laboratories and workshops are present here.
NIT Kurukshetra is one of the highly reputed college in India. The curriculum they provide is amazing. They provide good facilities in sports too.

Tution fee shows no increment after ones declared in the first semester. The complete cost including hostel , academic and my personal spent is around 2 lakhs per year. And many benefits and scholarship are given to the special category of students depending on their income and reservation quota. General students with income above 5 lakhs and bag scholarship only after scoring 9.5+ cgpa every semester. No stipend is there for BTech students offered by the college.

NIT Kkr: Fairly explained

The tution fee is moderate here as compared to other colleges. But it has many more miscellaneous charges. Miscellaneous charges are as equal to tution fees. The complete cost of my education including tution, service fees, and mess- hostel fee is about INR 6 lakhs after OBC reservation benefit. There are many scholarships that are provided by our college. For example: RICK-71 , RICK-69 etc. These scholarships are provided by alumnis of our college. They provide full tution fee waiver. I haven't taken any job role or stipends as it's my first year.
