Which is better, NIT Kurukshetra or COEP Pune?

Both NIT Kurukshetra and COEP are good colleges. As a student of COEP Pune, I can tell you about my college in detail-

Weaknesses-

1. COEP won’t provide you with cross-cultural exposure like NIT Kurukshetra.
2. The NIT tag does offer some advantage when it comes to higher studies in foreign universities.
3. The academics are quite rigorous. You can’t prepare for your exams the night before and hope to pass.

Strengths-

1. The strength of COEP resides in its extracurricular activities, both on the national and international level-

• COEP students perform really well in BAJA SAE and Supra.
• The theater students perform really well. Some of them have caught the eyes of famous people like Mahesh Manjerekar in the past.
• Bhau Institute is a highly active startup incubator.
• COEP is among the very few colleges in India with a Boat Club. It hosts Regata- the biggest boating festival in India. Students from COEP visit Portugal, Africa, etc. to participate in boating competitions.

1. COEP has a strong alumni network. Its alumni list includes civil servants, graduates from renowned universities, and people working in 

brands like Amazon USA, Google, Facebook, Tesla Motors, etc.

1. The core placements are decent and IT placements are good at COEP.

Thus, COEP is a good college. According to me, after your graduation from either of these, you should go for a PG.
