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

Recruiting Companies	Honeywell, Reliance, Pfizer, Piramal Healthcare, etc.	Reliance, GAIL, ONGC, GlaxoSmithKline, etc.	Infosys, Godrej, L&T, HCL, etc.

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.

Can I migrate from DAV College Chandigarh to PU main campus in my 2nd year of BA?

Nikhil Arora,B.Sc. Biotechnology from Chandigarh University (2019)

Yes, you can migrate from DAV College Chandigarh to PU main campus in your 2nd year of BA

You just need to know about the requirements for doing so. These could include: marks required or seats vacancy, etc.

The students involved in the youth elections will be able to guide you. Try getting a hold of a person who is a party member. He may be able to get you in, by admission or by referral.

Also note that there could be a slight chance that in PU, the reference required has to be powerful or influential.

Which university is better DU, PU or Jammu University?

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.

Panjab University’s main campus only offers B.Sc(Hons). Admission is through PU-CET. The UG seats are also limited. For admission, you can fill the form online, by visiting the admission portal of the university.

DAV College is affiliated with Panjab University. Both B.Sc (Hons) and general (PCM) are available. Admission is based on merit as for which will be better, choose the institute based on your preference.

Which is better, CGC Landran or PU?

Madhav AnejaLived in Chandigarh, India

The choice between PU and CGC Landran depends more on the branch than anything. However, the degree you will be getting from CGC Landran will be affiliated with Punjab Technical University. Overall, PU ranked 44 by NIRF this year while PRU was ranked 120 in 2021. This huge difference in rankings strongly claims that PU is better than PTU.

PU is a Government University while CGC is a private college affiliated with I.K Gujral University, Jalandhar. CGC is a good choice for those looking for a less expensive college and decent infrastructure. It’s great for engineering but the same cannot be said for other courses.

In my opinion, PU is a fairly better option and the following comparative analysis proves this further.

Particulars	CGC Landran	PU
Number of recruiters	800+	55
Number of Placement offers	8600+	383
Highest CTC	INR 45.5 LPA	INR 45 LPA
Top Recruiters	Accenture, Amazon, Deloitte, Dell, Capgemini, IBM, Genpact, Google, etc	Sapient, Gemini Solutions, Motorola, EXL, Code Brew, Havells, Oceaneering, HP, Infosys, Emerson, Edureka, etc.
