Bachelor of Technology [B.Tech] (Civil Engineering) From PEC Chandigarh, Chandigarh

The choice must be done purely based on your interest. If you are not that interested in coding and if you take a lot of time to understand the core language, there is no point in opting CS even if it's in high demand. Once you enjoy what you are learning you will succeed in your job position. Otherwise, there is no point in being hung up in a course which you don't enjoy and for four years or even for the rest of your life. 

Quick stats 2021:

If you don't have a specific preference and you are okay with either CS or civil, then clearly assess college reputation, placement stats, and other opportunities in the respective fields which are briefed out below. 

• Both PEC Chandigarh and UIET offer 24/7 high-speed internet facilities at both academic blocks and hostels. Academic blocks are fully air-conditioned. 
• Labs are fully equipped with hi-tech equipment. Libraries are up-to-date with new books of international standards. 
• Food at hostels is pretty good and you can even opt for off-campus housing facilities. Both of these universities give priority to sports. 
• Both of them organize certain tech fests out of which 'PECfest' of PEC and 'Avishkar' of UIET are quite popular.

As a branch CSE is on top when compared to Civil. But when you compare PEC and UIET, PEC has an upper hand. Set your priorities straight and opt for the best college for you.

My friends have been studying in both NIT Hamirpur and PEC Chandigarh and according to their first-hand experience, PEC Chandigarh holds an edge. Here’s why:

• It lies in a prime location viz. Chandigarh. The city has better and numerous opportunities. It is an education hub in the North, hence making it easier to plan and implement your higher education goals. There are ample coaching centers as well in case you want to prepare for government exams.

• PEC has better placement and internship options as well, again it is due to the location advantage.

Overall, while both the colleges offer good education, NIT holds a big brand name. However, factors like location and opportunities come first when in such a dilemma. Also, as you are getting the same branch in both the colleges, choose PEC Chandigarh any day.

Both IGDTUW Delhi and PEC Chandigarh are reputed colleges and are equally good but both these courses are very different from each other. 

If you are interested in higher studies and want to do M.Tech or Ph.D., then only opt for PEC civil. The pressure for studies would be less. You also have no restrictions in doing extracurricular activities. Here you can focus on other things besides studies, like on your hobbies or learning and developing a new skill or a new language which can be helpful in your career. 

Here’s a brief overview of the courses mentioned in the question. 

Hope this answer clears some of your doubts.
