Jaypee Institute of Information Technology University - [JIIT], Noida

CSE at JIIT is clearly better than ECE at Thapar. You must have a minimum JEE rank of 51,000 to get CSE at JIIT Noida. 

There are no state quota, caste quota, or NRI quota at JIIT but Thapar offers a 50% quota for Punjab state students. This results in a superior quality of students at JIIT Noida than Thapar. Due to quotas and an increase in the number of seats, anyone can get admission at Thapar University.

If a student has a 300,000 rank in JEE Main, he will not be able to gain a seat anywhere, but if he is from Punjab, he may be able to secure a place in Electrical Engineering in Thapar. This explains how Thapar's situation has deteriorated.

JIIT will offer you great exposure which is actually required in CSE with regular industrial visits. CSE has more scope in terms of placements than ECE.

Depending on which course you intend to take will determine which college will be better for you. They all are equally good but some may vary from department to department. Considering all your criteria you can choose where to study.

Thapar University in all aspects is a lot better than JIIT. But I am not quite aware of the EIC branch. You can interact with ex-students of the institute online, to get a better idea about the course. If you think it will be a better choice, go for it.

• According to placements, Thapar is much better than JIIT Noida.
• Most of the companies that participate in Thapar’s placement program are well reputed like Microsoft, Infosys, and many more.
• Thapar provides a better industrial exposure to their students.
• After graduating from Thapar you can opt for both government and private sectors.

Thapar University will be a much better choice than JIIT, as it is popular among students and professionals as well. Any branch at Thapar will prove to be more valuable than CSE at JIIT Noida.
