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. However, you may want to consider the following points before making the final decision 

  • In terms of placements and the faculty pool, PEC fares better than NIT Kurukshetra. 
  • Established in 1928, PEC has a richer legacy than NIT Kurukshetra which was established around 1963.
  • 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.

My younger brother is doing CSE from NIT Kurukshetra. So I might be able to help you with this question.

  • If you get IT here, consider yourself to have CSE. There is almost no distinction between CSE and IT in this context. Almost all the subjects studied in CSE are also covered in the IT syllabus as well.
  • The syllabus is being revised, and the new syllabus will be implemented beginning with the July session. So, hopefully, you won't be forced to learn about out-of-date technology that no one uses today.
  • The institute has a strong coding culture. Students engage in healthy competition. Every even semester, the seniors (who are among the best in the game) organize extra classes on Algorithms, Discrete Math, and Data Structures (through Competitive Programming). 
  • In college, there are some fantastic developers. GAWDS (Graphics and Web Development Society) is a society full of super talented people who are experts in their fields and with whom you can learn and grow as a developer. 
  • My brother was allowed to miss his Mid-Term Exams because he needed to attend a prestigious Competitive Programming Contest at another college. 
  • For CSE and IT students, there is a technical society called Techno byte, which is heavily involved in organizing Altius and Techspardha, the latter being the largest Techno-Managerial fest in North India. 
  • The seniors here are extremely cooperative.

Heres providing some basic differences between the two institutions - 

Categories

The only thing you'll miss is city life. Kurukshetra doesn't have much to offer, but you won't have time or reason to leave the campus because there's always something interesting going on.
