Should I go for CSE or COE at Thapar Patiala?

A few of my friends graduated from Thapar University and here’s what they have to say about it.

While discussing both the branches, they consider COE to be better than CSE because of several reasons. These include:

• COE is the oldest branch at Thapar Institute of Engineering and Technology.
• COE being a bit experienced has better placement records than CSE. 
• COE also has a strong alumni network.
• The subjects of COE are related to both software and hardware. Thus, students will learn about programming languages too.

If we see CSE it is a new branch started this year only and has no placement records. Also, little or no hardware knowledge is given to CSE students as compared to COE.
