What should I choose: NIT Jalandhar mechanical or UIET Chandigarh CSE?
Mechanical Engineering and Computer Science are two completely different fields. Rather than a brand name, you should choose a branch based on your interests. A bright future requires you to be happy, which requires you to work on projects that you enjoy.
According to reports, NIT Jalandhar is a good institute. The CSE program at UIET Chandigarh is unquestionably excellent.
How is IIIT Bhubaneswar CSE? Is it better than NIT Patna IT and UIET CSE?
As a student of UIET CSE, I will share some merits and demerits of the same with you-
Merits-
- If you are a good coder, UIET offers decent placement opportunities in the CSE branch.
- There is a 24*7 library facility.
- You’ll get the ‘Panjab University’ tag.
- It is located in Chandigarh which is a serene, beautiful, and well-planned city.
- Your personality and leadership qualities will improve.
Demerits-
- The teaching environment isn’t good. You’ll have to learn by yourself, regardless of branch.
- The tag of ‘IITs’ or ‘NITs’ holds much more significance.
- You might not get the desired placement. In that case, you’ll be sitting for some competitive exam. For a placement in 4.5-5 LPA slab, you’ll have to work hard.
NIT Patna IT is a good option because it offers good placements and an NIT tag. As far as IIIT Bhubaneswar CSE is concerned, you can check all the information related to it and compare it with the other two.
Which will be a better choice, CSE at UIET Hoshiarpur or EEE at UIET Chandigarh?
The choice between CSE and EEE is subjective and totally depends on you. Keep aside your confusion about these colleges and give a thought to what you want to pursue by outlining the major factors that drive your interest the most.
You should rather explore the curriculum, campus, placements, packages offered, faculty, etc. of both the colleges in that particular field.
Both UIET Hoshiarpur and UIET Chandigarh provide a degree from Punjab University. I guess the highlighted difference you would find are the cities in which they are located and the campus life. Here’s a brief insight into the courses.

EEE at UIET Chandigarh |

The question here arises whether or not you want to pursue higher studies after going for EEE. EEE in UIET would not provide you with good placements. Go for CSE at Hoshiarpur if you have no other options.
You can consider other options too if you have them.

Is biotechnology in UIET Chandigarh any good?
Your willingness to pursue this particular stream should be the sole reason you opt for it. It should not be based on anyone’s opinion. Every stream is unique in its own way.
Biotechnology is a tough choice as there are not many opportunities available to its students in India. If you are expecting good placement opportunities after finishing this course from UIET, then you will be disappointed.
But, if you want to go for research work after this then it is no doubt the perfect choice for you. Since not many go for this subject, you would have an upper hand. You will find students opting for this stream just because they didn’t their desired branch.
Here’s a brief overview of the Biotechnology course offered at the institute.

Average CTC |
7 LPA |
|
Course Fee |

Biotechnology in UIET would be a good option only if you’re willing to go for a master’s or any other research work as the placements here are not even satisfactory.
Is it worth joining UIET, Chandigarh? The CSE Department.
UIET Chandigarh may not be the best institute for B.E. CSE as very few faculty members provide quality learning to students. But if you are already into coding, then it really does not matter.
To sail through CSE in any other college (including UIET), apart from IIT, you need to keep in mind that CSE covers the overall computer learnings, starting from silicon to single printf. You need to focus on the concepts and core subjects like Operating System, Computer Architecture, Digital Electronics, Principles of Compiler Design, and Computer Networks. No institute can provide a surety to develop your coding skills. It depends upon your self-improvements.
Here’s a highlight of the CSE program at UIET.

Average CTC |
INR 6.45 LPA |
|
Highest CTC |
INR 31 LPA |
|
Top Recruiters |
Google, Vedanta, Tata Power, Hindustan Unilever, Amazon, Goldman & Sachs, and Samsung, American Express, |
If you want to develop coding skills, learn online using Linux, gcc, vim. Apart from the lack of coding culture life at UIET is great, you will have a good college life.
Are there joint placements for UIET Chandigarh and UIET Hoshiarpur?
Some of my friends attended UIET Chandigarh and UIET Hoshirpur, so I have some information regarding the placement at these institutes.
As both the colleges UIET Chandigarh and UIET Hoshiarpur are part of Punjab university, the students visit the Punjab University for placements. Companies do visits there. Sometimes students of UIET Hoshiarpur have to visit UIET Chandigarh for placements. The students of both colleges are given different slots.
But both the colleges have their own placement cells. The placement depends on these placement cells. The companies like Infosys and Sufi visit both colleges. In such cases, the placements take place on the same date and at the same time.
Hope this clears your doubts.
Which is better for me as a resident of Chandigarh, Uiet Chandigarh or VIT Vellore?
Both the colleges are good at their place but it depends upon your perspective that what you expect from your college life.
- If you live in Chandigarh and opt for UIET, you will remain in your comfort zone of your home city.
- But instead of staying in your city and deciding to get admission to VIT, Vellore, you learn many things during your undergraduate life.
- Eventually, when you stay in a hostel away from your parents you start taking complete responsibility for food, studies, laundry, etc. This will in your future make you independent.
- In Chandigarh, you will get independence only when you get a job in some other state and have to move out of the city. It will be like a drastic change in your life.
- Meeting new people will always help you to make connections and you will receive enough exposure.
If you compare the quality of education that is provided in both UIET and VIT, you can determine this easily by talking to the students who are studying as they have real-life experience of the campus. But the fee structure of UIET is comparatively lower than that of VIT as the college comes under a center-funded state university.
What is the highest package offered in UIET Chandigarh for CS undergraduate?
According to the latest statistics, UIET offers decent placements to CS undergraduate students. Some of the top recruiters during the placement drive in the year 2021 were Vedanta, Tata Power, Amazon, American Express, Goldman, Samsung, and Hindustan Unilever.

Lastly, we can say that UIET, being a central funded college under Panjab University offers some good placements to the students though as compared to 2020 placement the highest package offered was less that depends upon market and other factors associated with it.
