Overall, while both the colleges offer good education, NIT holds a big brand name. However, factors like location and opportunities come first when in such a dilemma. Also, as you are getting the same branch in both the colleges, choose PEC Chandigarh any day.
Although NIT Agarta holds a bigger brand name, it is still a growing NIT. On the other hand, PEC has an older history of about 100 years and continues to flourish.

Here are some insights into the PEC according to my friends who completed their B.Tech from there.
All in all, it is recommended to choose PEC Chandigarh any day over NIT Agartala. PEC definitely belongs to the league with NIT Surat, Allahabad, and others. However, if the NIT tag is all that you are looking for, then go for NIT Agartala.

Based on what I learned from my friends at these two institutes, I will recommend that you choose MIT Manipal. Many students and faculty in the industry argue that MIT graduates are doing much better than many of their IIT and NIT peers. The reason behind this is the well-rounded personality development you get to experience at MIT Manipal.
Going by the above factors it is safe to say that MIT Manipal is a great choice for an engineering degree.
No, PEC Chandigarh is way ahead of YMCA UST. PEC has a higher cutoff, hence a better student crowd. It also has a smaller batch size, so every student gets the required attention. PEC Chandigarh placements are better. The average and highest CTC for the institute are INR 10.83 LPA and INR 42 LPA, respectively.
Situated in Chandigarh, PEC also has a locational advantage. You will receive better exposure.
The package acquisition is not a college deed in the case of Chandigarh University. There are many factors that you need to consider whenever you want to compare placements in colleges.
UIET/PEC:
CU or any other similar private college:
Placements:
Now that you know all the facts, you must also know that a college hardly matters. What matters the most is what you wish to make of yourself. You can get a 20-40L package from CU/UIET/PEC if you want to work for it. You can even become an entrepreneur.
As these are two distinct branches of engineering, you should pursue a topic that piques your interest.
Categories | CS at Thapar Patiala | Electrical at PEC Chandigarh |
Course Fee | 13.23 lakh | 6.39 lakh |
Highest CTC | 20 LPA | 8-10 LPA |
Average CTC | 11 LPA | 6 LPA |
Recruiting Companies | Wipro, Infosys, TCS, IBM, etc. | Phillips, L&T, JP Morgan, TCS, etc. |
It all depends on what you're interested in. If you are interested in CS, then choose Thapar (if fees are not an issue) or electrical in PEC Chandigarh.
