Where should I take admission,NIT KKR or PEC Chandigarh?

BG
Barkha Gupta Posted On : July 20th, 2021

Let us answer this question considering the different parameters:

  • Distance: If you belong from the state of Haryana, then it should not be an issue as both are equally accessible.
  • Brand Name: PEC is a fantastic brand, but NIT Kukrukshetra has higher acceptability among the general Scholars.
  • Diversity: Without a doubt, KKR has a lot more diversity. Although we do not place a high value on this aspect in India, it does play an important role in your personal development.
  • Placement: Both the colleges have a decent placement record and you ought to check the exact stats given on their respective official college sites.

The location is a crucial issue to consider in this situation. Chandigarh has a lot more to offer than KKR in this city. Chandigarh is a livelier city whereas Kurukshetra is a small city and NIT is located on the outskirts of town, thus your life is primarily confined to the college campus.

There are many more possibilities for higher education preparation in Chandigarh. There you will witness a large number of students traveling to Chandigarh on weekends to prepare for higher education.

If I were in your situation, the only reason I would choose PEC is because of its proximity. However, consider all of the advantages and disadvantages and decide what is best for you in the long run.

Which college should I take for mechanical engineering? I am confused among PEC Chandigarh, NIT Kurukshetra, and NIT Jalandhar.

HS
Harish Shah Posted On : January 5th, 2023
Studied at Dr. B. R. Ambedkar National Institute of Technology, Jalandhar ( NITJ ) (Graduated in 2021)

NIT Kurukshetra or PEC Chandigarh are the best options for you. You can certainly cross NIT Jalandhar off your list.

The practical labs at NITJ are not well-equipped, and the majority of the equipment is broken. The faculty, on the other hand, is excellent. You should not make NITJ your top priority.

Both the BITS, Hyderabad, and Goa offer equal job opportunities and the academic environment is also similar. While BITS Hyderabad enjoys a more favorable location in the IT hub of the country, Goa has an amazing climate. Choosing one between the two is a matter of priorities only.

NIT Kurukshetra and PEC Chandigarh are well-respected institutions in India, known for their high-quality engineering education. Both institutions have strong reputations and are considered to be among the best engineering colleges in India. One of my friends chose NIT Kurukshetra and has no regrets whatsoever to date. 

You can consider the following points before choosing the college

  1. PEC is located in Chandigarh so students have better access to hangout places and enjoy a better city life than at NIT Kurukshetra. 
  2. NIT Kurukshetra has excellent infrastructure and a very beautiful campus. PEC really lacks in terms of facilities and infrastructure.
  3. NIT Kurukshetra has excellent opportunities for CS placements and even the core placements are great. 

Here is a comparison of a few statistics that might help you further make a well-informed decision.

Parameters

NIT Kurukshetra

PEC

Fees

One of my cousins was in a similar dilemma last year when she had to choose between PEC and NIT Kurukshetra. Both the colleges are premier engineering colleges offering excellent education and are head-to-head in most factors.

  • NIT Kurukshetra has a bigger and more beautiful campus than PEC.
  • NIT Kurukshetra offers the much coveted NIT tag which PEC does not.

The final decision depends on personal factors like location and future prospects. If you are from Chandigarh choosing PEC will be better.

Which is better, NIT Kurukshetra for EEE or BITS Pilani Goa for a dual degree?

TR
Tathagata Roy Posted On : August 23rd, 2021
B.Tech Electrical Engineering, MNNIT, Allahabad

I have few friends from both NIT Kurukshetra and BITS Pilani, so I think I can answer the question. First, I would like to clarify that NIT Kurukshetra does not offer EEE, it offers EE. These two branches are quite different. 

  • Based on the reviews I got from my friends, I will say that both NIT K and BITS Goa are quite good. But BITS Goa is comparatively better in terms of infrastructure and placements. According to the placement reports, the average CTC offered at BITS Goa is 5 LPA.
  • If you have the option to go for the dual degree in Electrical at BITS Goa then go for it, provided you don’t have a problem with the hefty course fee. BITS Goa will offer better exposure and opportunities. 
  • The faculty of BITS Goa is also better than that of NIT K. 
  • BITS and NIT have similar brand values. 

The only advantage of NIT K is the low course fee. So, given the option choose BITS Goa.
