No, personally I wouldn’t suggest pursuing biotechnology at NIT Jalandhar. But still, if you have decided on that consider the following points:
Learn to code also. This is because the number of placements for biotechnology is very few. So you can get into an IT Company.
If you are seriously interested in biotechnology then the best option is to sit for the GRE or TOEFL and do masters in a foreign university.
The last option is to prepare for an MBA.
So to pursue biotechnology in the long run you must aim at moving abroad. The scope is high in foreign universities.
You should choose ECE in NIT Jalandhar over Electrical/Mechanical in PEC Chandigarh. NIT is not an NIT solely because of the label. If you are perplexed, come to campus. You will be so taken with the campus that you will forget about the other factors.
There will be numerous opportunities available to you. Companies come to the NIT J campus all year. Even if you are an average performer with the ability to express yourself, you will have no trouble finding work. Aside from small events held every other week, NIT J hosts two National level Fests each year, which will allow you to explore your technical, managerial, and artistic sides.
People are caring and giving. Mech is a challenging but rewarding department; you will enjoy your time here. The only thing keeping NIT J down right now is that it is relatively new, so it has a smaller alumni base, but it is rapidly growing. Finally, NIT Jalandhar is preferred over PEC.
Students these days focus more on placements than general potential development. They rank branches on the basis of the placement opportunities they render. But this viewpoint is totally unfair.
Recent years have seen a drastic change in interest from Mechanical Engineering to CSE. People prefer sitting in front of the computer for the rest of their lives just to earn better than Mechanical Engineers.
My advice in this regard is that you should go for Mechanical Engineering at the top 3 NITs over CSE at NIT Jalandhar. Else choose CSE only if you are crazy about coding.
Choosing between CSE at NIT Jalandhar and an IT dual degree at IIITM Gwalior can be a tough decision, as both colleges have their unique strengths and weaknesses. Here's a comparison of the infrastructure and placement opportunities at both colleges to help you make an informed decision:
Infrastructure:
Placement:
The decision of which college to attend should be based on careful consideration of all relevant factors, including academic reputation, placement opportunities, infrastructure, and location. You should also consider your interests, goals, and priorities before making a decision. Weigh the pros and cons of both colleges, talk to current students and alumni, and consult with your mentors and family members before making a final decision.
The general answer would be no, it’s not recommended you join the textile branch at NIT Jalandhar. However, you can join it under certain scenarios like:
If you have plans of moving abroad and pursuing it further. Because in India there is little scope for this course.
If you are planning to change your branch after a year by internal sliding. But for this, you should get an excellent CGPA (above 9).
If you plan to sit for CAT or UPSC then the branch does not really matter.
If you don’t want to drop out.
In every other case, I’d recommend you join a lower-ranked NIT but in a better branch than textile. Don’t just go for rankings. The branch is also crucial.
IIT BHU is one of the top 10 IITs and is renowned for its rich alumni network and effective academic structure. But if you are interested in the CSE field, then opt for NIT Jalandhar. Institutes are equal in providing beneficial classes to students. The branch change is not that easy at II BHU; the competition level is very high, and only 10% of students with a high CGPA get the chance for a branch change. The classes will be conducted offline, which is much better than online classes. You can use the library for more references, and in-person classes are more interactive, which will help you improve your academic performance. So, it is better for you to choose NIT Jalandhar.

One of my friends recently attended the quora meet-up and told me that it was just awesome.
My friend told me that it was a memorable day for him, and he is very keen on such meetups again and again.
Both the NITs are located in North India and are almost at the same level in terms of fests, national-level competitions, placements, etc. The students of these colleges interact on a regular basis and there is also great competition among them. NIT Kurukshetra however, has an upper hand slightly owing to its proximity to Delhi. This is also why it has slightly better placements than NIT Jalandhar.
Here is what you should choose based on common parameters
In general, it’s better to choose NIT Kurukshetra over NIT Jalandhar. However, it will depend a lot on which stream you are opting for and your personal preferences.
