Which is the best university for me: UPES, Chitkara or CGC Landran? What are their average packages?
Both Chitkara and CGC Landran are at the same level. As far as placements are concerned, both of them offer excellent placements with well-developed placement cells.
UPES is definitely more concentrated on petroleum and chemical engineering. It also has some unique courses and a really good reputation and you will get to learn a lot. Fees might be a little expensive though.
My advice to you would be to not choose electronics and communication engineering at either of them because placements are not that great and you don’t want to end up with CSE students and learn coding in the last few months of your college.
The table below should help you out with placement statistics and fees regarding the same:
|
College |
Fees |
Hiring Companies |
Average package |
|
CGC Landran (B. Tech) |
INR 92,000 (first year fees) |
Wipro, Google, Infosys, Deloitte |
INR 3 to 4 LPA |
|
Chitkara University (B.E) |
INR 1.74 lakhs (first year fees) |
JCB India, L&T, Yamaha, DLF |
INR 4.5 LPA |
|
UPES (B. Tech) |
INR 13.83 lakhs (total fees) |
L&T, Wipro, Accenture, GEP Worldwide |
NR 5-6 LPA |
While the fees for UPES are quite high, you can expect to get a similar return on your investment. At the same time, you will not be pestered for admissions like in my brother’s case with regards to CGC Landran and CU. The faculty at UPES is very good too.
Which is better for CSE: Graphic Era University, DIT or UPES?
