Which is better, NIT Kurukshetra or Thapar University?

NIT Kurukshetra is certainly a better choice than Thapar University. A private University like Thapar may look appealing from the outside with its excellent infrastructure but NIT being a government college and an institute of National Importance certainly has an edge in terms of fees, academics, facilities, and the crowd it attracts. Here are a few strong points that might convince you to choose NIT Kurukshetra

2. Internet : NIT Kurukshetra campus has 24*7 wifi/ LAN access almost everywhere.
3. Fees : Government colleges don’t charge exorbitantly high fees like private colleges. NIT Kurukshetra fees for the first year are 1.6 Lakhs while the same for Thapar University is 4.61 Lakhs.
