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.
