What should be preferred, CS at Thapar Patiala or Electrical Engineering at PEC Chandigarh?

As these are two distinct branches of engineering, you should pursue a topic that piques your interest.

• CS is primarily concerned with software, whereas EE is more concerned with hardware.
• Fees may be high, but consider it an investment because if you learn and perform well, your first year's salary will pay for four years of education and beyond.
• However, listen to your heart and natural instincts.
• A CS graduate has more demand than an Electrical graduate. This is due to the rapid and constant growth of the corporate world.
• Electrical Engineering students can also sit for placements of both core and IT firms.

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.
