For CSE, Chitkara University is a great option. A relative of mine recommended Chitkara University to me. According to him, Chitkara University charges 80,000 a year and every rupee is worth it. Here are some highlights about the institution:

Other than that, the college has all kinds of sports from Basketball, Cricket, Badminton and Snooker. Therefore, it can be concluded that you should opt for Chitkara University as it is truly worth it.
I would never recommend you to go for any core branch at new IITs. With the new IIT tag, ISM Dhanbad is a far better option as it was established in 1926 and enjoys global recognition in contrast to IIT Hyderabad, which is still under development. Both the colleges are poles apart in terms of infrastructure, facilities, etc.
The table below shows a head-on comparison of the placement scenario at both the institutes:

If you’re willing to join Punjab campus with 56 marks in JEE Mains and 70% in CBSE boards, it would be extremely difficult.
It would be best for you to go to the Baddi campus with that much score. Equal opportunities are provided to students of both the campus. People tend to believe in the notion that Punjab campus is superior to Baddi campus as the former was established first. However, this is not true. It all comes down to your learning skills. The better you are, the more options you are provided to choose from and to polish your coding skills.
To know more about the admission you can get in contact with the institute.
The choice of both branch and institute depends a lot on factors like your career prospects and areas of interest. However, since you haven't decided on a branch yet, I will assume you aren't yet sure of a branch and are open to exploring more branches. Don't worry, as most students clearing JEE Advanced face a similar situation. Personally, I will recommend you to go for IIT KGP over ISM Dhanbad because of 2 strong reasons
IIT KGP gives you the chance to explore and identify your area of interest. Even if you go for coding and later realize you don't like it, you can always go for non-core jobs that are in abundance at IIT KGP. But in the case of Dhanbad, you will have to stick to coding irrespective of your career inclinations. This is a major factor as it is your passion that determines your success rate.
IIT KGP has a more diverse group of individuals that are literal geniuses. Even if you are an above-average student you will face tough competition and thus will always strive to excel and grow. Dhanbad has an average-quality peer group and thus your growth might be restricted there.
I can only guide you to make a good decision, the final authority lies with you.
When deciding on a branch of engineering, it is important to consider the long-term prospects of the field and the policies of the university offering it. Here are some points to keep in mind while choosing a stream:
In conclusion, choosing a branch of engineering should be a well-thought-out decision, taking into consideration the long-term prospects, policies of the university, and job opportunities in the field. Doing proper research can help ensure that you make an informed decision that is right for you.
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.

CSE at UIET Hoshiarpur |
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.
Having known some people studying in both these institutions, I can say that if you plan to get a job offer, go for CS at Thapar University. If not and are interested in doing research opt for Engineering Physics at DTU.
Categories | CS at Thapar University |
Course Fee | 13.23 lakh |
Highest CTC | 22 LPA |
Average CTC | 8 LPA |
There are many reputed companies that take part in their placement program and recruit CS graduates. These include Infosys, Wipro, Accenture, Capgemini, Oracle, IBM, ZS Associates, Morgan Stanley and many more.
IIT (ISM) Dhanbad although a new IIT, has a rich legacy of being one of the oldest technical institutes in India. It is considered even better than some old IITs and obviously better than the new ones. IIT Dhanbad has an outstanding placement record thanks to its extensive alumni pool. Consider the following placement statistics for a better understanding

So choosing IIT Dhanbad over the new IIts will be a better decision on your behalf.
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 |

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.
