No college is good or bad. It’s your own attitude that determines whether it’s good or not. Colleges affect you 30%. The rest 70% is influenced by your own motivation and hard work.
No matter how bad your college is, if you have invested sincere efforts you will reap good results. And if you are in the highest ranked college but you lack the will to succeed then the college won’t help you succeed. It’s you who decides your future. Don’t let a mere college decide it.
Same is the case with NIT Jalandhar. Although there are some misconceptions about its worth, the fact is that if you really work hard here, you will land a decent job.
There is nothing called a better college. One college can be good for you but bad for others. Similarly a college can be bad for someone else but perfect for you. Every college has its own flaws. So it depends on how much you are willing to overlook and get the best results.
Still if I have to make a choice among the above colleges, I will go for NIT Hamirpur. The peaceful ambiance and beautiful infrastructure is worth it.
The cutoff for computer science in Thapar has seen a fall in figures. This is because of the decrease in the fame of this college. There are so many better and popular institutes that people usually don’t consider Thapar as their first choice.
Even big companies prefer students from IITs, BITS or DTU. Students themselves opt for IIT because of its tag. They know the IIT tag will always be a boon for them.
The general decrease in its popularity has resulted in lower cutoffs and the situation seems to be worsening over the years to come.
Situation at PEC Chandigarh is pretty good currently. The new director has brought about a prominent change in the earlier stagnant situation at PEC. He has broadened the approach with an exhaustive curriculum and better infrastructure.
The next best change he has brought about is amazing placement opportunities. If you are from a branch like CS Or Mechanical, you will definitely land a core job. Highest package this year was INR 42 LPA.
Lots of sports facilities are improving. Other facilities include new centres like Siemens Centre of excellence(only 3 more in India) and solar tech park
Voyagers scheme where students get funded by college to explore rural India is surely another game changing feature of the college.
Extracurricular activities are also valued here and there are a lot of clubs to pursue your hobby.
The quality of faculty is also increasing gradually.
All these changes prove that you should definitely go for PEC over NIT Jalandhar.
Change in branch is not a very difficult procedure at NIT Jalandhar. All you need to do is follow some simple tips that might help you:
Don’t miss classes. Make proper notes.
Don’t take any minor non seriously.
Don’t hesitate to talk with teachers.
Focus more on courses with more credits.
Basically if you are aiming at a branch change you should create a good image among the teachers. Get good grades and recognition and your task of changing branches will become easier.
Choosing between NIT Jalandhar and NIT Hamirpur depends more on your own conveniences than anything else. It depends on:
Rank
State
Category
Distance between college and home
But still if you already have a choice between these two, go for NIT Harimpur. An additional benefit here is its peaceful and clean environment. Although you will learn better technical skills at NIT Jalandhar still it does not affect much in the long run.
My brother is an NITJ alumni and he strongly recommends joining NCC in NIT Jalandhar. Some points that support his recommendation are:
Reserved qouta in various exams like SSC-CGL
Excellent exposure
No compulsory attendance at athletic fest
Disciplined life that leads to self improvement
A touch of life of Armed Forces
Apart from NCC, NSS is also a good option. But don’t go for NSO at all. There are hardly any benefits to avail of.
