Panjab University: 13 Answered Questions

Which is better, chemical engineering from UICET PU Chandigarh, chemical engineering from Thapar University Patiala or computer science from CCET Chandigarh (affiliated to PU)?

Pankaj KumarStudied at Delhi University (2019)

Having a few friends from both institutes I might be able to share some facts about both the institutes. Chemical Engineering at UICET is better than Chemical at Thapar University or CSE at CCET.

UICET is a well-renowned university and has a reputed department.
They have brilliant placement records and a strong alumni base.
Laboratories and faculty at UICET are better than those at Thapar.
Course fees at UICET for chemical engineering are very less than that in Thapar University.
Thapar is no doubt a well-reputed university but as far as chemical engineering is concerned UICET is better.
CCET is affiliated with PU located in sector-26 Chandigarh. It is well known for its diploma courses.
However, UICET is any day better than CCET in all terms.

Categories	Chemical Engineering at UICET	Chemical Engineering at Thapar University	CSE at CCET Chandigarh
Course Fee	INR 70,079	13.23 lakh	2.45 lakh
Highest CTC	18 LPA	15 LPA	12 LPA
Average CTC	6.31 LPA	7 LPA	4-5 LPA
Recruiting Companies	Honeywell, Reliance, Pfizer, Piramal Healthcare, etc.	Reliance, GAIL, ONGC, GlaxoSmithKline, etc.	Infosys, Godrej, L&T, HCL, etc.

Your preference order should be Chemical Engineering at UICET> Chemical at Thapar University> CSE at CCET.

Which is better: Delhi University or Panjab University?

Arti Singhstudied at National Institute of Technology, Hamirpur

Panjab University is better. It is widely reputed in India and abroad. PU has a wonderful research environment.

The university has one of the best libraries in the nation.

Panjab University notable alumni list includes names such as Kalpana Chawla, Manmohan Singh, and Nuruddin Farah.

Which is better for a B.Tech: Punjab University or Thapar University?

Gari SinglaB.Tech Mechanical Engineering, Punjabi University, Patiala (2018)

A few of my friends graduated from both the mentioned institutes and here are some insights regarding the institutes, based on their experience.

If you can afford the fee structure of Thapar university then surely go for it. Also, if you have a good rank then you must try other central government colleges of engineering in Punjab i.e NIT Jalandhar as well SLIET Longowal in district Sangrur, Punjab.

Here is a brief comparison of Punjab University and Thapar University.

Particulars	Punjab University	Thapar University
Total fees	70.08 K - 4.26 L	13.23 L
Placement percent	70%	90%
Highest salary	INR 20 LPA	INR 43 LPA
Average salary	INR 7 LPA	INR 8 LPA

Else, if you want to take chances in the state government college then give priorities to PAU Ludhiana, GNDU Amritsar after that you can try for Punjabi University Patiala.

What are the best things for Punjab University students to do on weekends?

Nandini SenM.Sc Master of Science in Mathematics, Kurukshetra University (2016)

Punjab University is located in Chandigarh and there are many places to visit and things to do there on weekends. But then again after some visits, it will eventually become repetitive and except for a few places which are worthy of a second visit, you will eventually get bored. So here are some things you could try to do on weekends instead –

Mohali, a nearby town in Punjab is famous for international cricket matches as well as IPL. You could visit there sometimes with your friends.
The university campus is beautiful. If you are a photography enthusiast or you are fond of making video blogs, then definitely you could consider doing those during weekends.
Also, the city of Chandigarh is close to the Himalayas. So there are plenty of hill stations such as Manali, Kullu, Kasauli, etc. to visit and spend the weekend in mother nature’s lap.
You could also join some club or committee or society and work on your weekends. They organize various activities such as street plays, blood donation camps, BP and diabetes-free check-up camps, etc. You could volunteer for such activities which will help in better utilization of your time along with doing your bit for the society.

Lastly, you could also sleep in your own room and enjoy movies, TV shows, etc. on Netflix. This is the most common thing that youngsters do. If you are among those who like to keep their rooms clean, then you could do that on your weekends as well.

Rana Mukesh SinghB.Sc Honours Zoology from University of Delhi

It entirely depends on which course you are choosing. However, overall DU is definitely better than PU and Jammu University.

The academics and faculty base are almost the same at these universities. However, academics are not the only influencing factor in the overall development of students. Curriculum, exposure, and other additional things also play crucial roles.

At DU, you will have great exposure. DU has many societies like dance society, fashion society, debating society, etc. If you have any passion, you can explore it at DU. The peer group at DU is also better.

If we speak generally, for the given institutes, your preference order should be DU>PU>Jammu University.
