One of my friends is presently studying at NIT Kurukshetra, and he has a good idea about NIT Delhi. But he does not tell me more about NIT Jamshedpur, as he has limited knowledge about this institute. 

The following table shows a brief overview of these three institutes:

The above table shows that NIT Kurukshetra(KKR) > NIT Jamshedpur> NIT Delhi.

• Presently, the college administration of NIT KKR has updated their curriculum, in which you have to read 6 core subjects in your first-year study. However, it will help you to get closer to your respective branch. 
• Recently, the director of this institute, namely Dr. Satish Kumar. Since his appointment, this institute is progressing continuously. My friend told me that within 6months, he opened a swimming pool, which is Olympic Standards. 
• The classes are completely air-conditioned, with an installation of a new supercomputer. Indeed, NIT KKR was not considered a good college a few years back, but these days it is not at all behind the other top institutes as it is developing gradually.

Besides, NIT Delhi is a newly opened institute with a temporary college campus. Someone mentioned that the students have to travel approximately 2 hours from their hostel room to the college rooms in NIT Delhi, which is quite tiresome. The Alumni Network is completely lagging as it is a new institute. 

Additionally, NIT Jamshedpur provides good placement in comparison to NIT Kurukshetra. It is the only thing that supports the rankings of an institute, respecting other colleges. Another important thing is that if you are from Eastern Part, then opt for NIT Jamshedpur.

Both the institutes are tough competitors of each other. They have a brand name in north India. It is difficult to conclude the best one among the two. Both the colleges have decent class strength, highly equipped labs, and placements for the CSE branch. PEC has a slightly higher reputation than NITK. 

But you can decide on your own after looking at the below-mentioned points of both the institutes.

• NIT Kurukshetra has an edge. It has been ranked 40 among top engineering colleges in NIRF 2020. While PEC Chandigarh ranks at 68 position

• The best city among the two is Chandigarh. It has well-known for its beauty and competitiveness. Therefore, PEC wins here.
• The ambiance of PEC Chandigarh and the overall crowd are excellent.
• NITK is one of the better colleges among the other NITs.

The fee structure and the placement statistics of both the colleges are below.

Looking at the above factors, both the colleges are head-to-head. If you work hard in any of these colleges, you will end up living the life of your dreams.

The choice of a branch clearly depends on you. But, if you are wondering which among both these would be a better choice, then you can undoubtedly go for IT at NIT Kurukshetra. 

There are several reasons why-

• Placements: The average package is about 9 to 10 Lacs for CS or IT at NIT Kurukshetra. On contrary to NIT Kurukshetra, the average package provided by PEC Chandigarh for students whose branch is Electrical is known to be around 5 to 6 Lacs.
• Brand Name: The second most influential reason for choosing NIT Kurukshetra is its NIT tag. It does offer certain advantages. 

However, both of these aforementioned branches are completely different and have no personal interlinking. Thus to say, the scope for IT in various government sectors is at present near about zero, while at the same time, there is seen to be a lot of scope in the government sector for the electrical branch.

Otherwise, the salary package that a branch like IT receives is more than Electrical, since the demand for it is currently at a peak.

One of my friends was in a similar dilemma a few years back. There are several outlooks to consider when deciding which among both of these should be your choice. The points listed below will give you a fair idea to think about it,

• The NIT tag matters not just inside the boundaries of the nation, yet outside of it. That means, choosing NIT over PEC will give various international recruiters a solid reason for hiring you. 
• Other than that, the recruiters hiring in PEC Chandigarh are nearly the same as that of NIT Kurukshetra.
• PEC did come close to becoming an IIT but there is no such possibility anymore. 
• NITs have a more focused academic environment. 
• If you want to pursue any coaching for either UPSC or GATE, then you can opt for PEC.
• My sister was a student of NIT Kurukshetra herself and according to her the studies, curriculum, exposure are better at NIT than most of the newly established IITs.

NIT Kurukshetra does have a slight edge over PEC.

I have friends from NIT Kurukshetra, so can give you an idea about the institute. The Mechanical Engineering Department at the institute has good faculties. But, they hardly come up to the class and without their guidance, clearing the exams is tough. If you are choosing NIT Kurukshetra I will advise you to concentrate on your studies as clearing examinations without supplementary examination is challenging at the institute. 

Also, Placements are good enough at NITK and you can easily secure a 5-6 LPA package as of now. According to the 2020 placement report the average CTC offered was 10 LPA. 

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 - 

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.
