Ans. First, you should decide which course you want to pursue B.E. in Electronics or B.E. in Civil Engineering as that would help in comparing institutes and choose the one with the better program. NIT Surathkal is considered to be one of the best colleges in the country to pursue engineering courses. NIRF 2020 has ranked the institute at 13 for its BTech program. Whereas ranked at 68 for BTech by NIRF 2020, PEC is also one of the Pioneer engineering colleges of the country that imparts quality education in engineering. Admission: NIT Surathkal- The total fee for BTech in Civil Engineering program in NIT Surathkal is 5.39 lakh. The basic eligibility is that the student must have passed the 10+2 examination with 75% marks from any recognized board and the admissions are based on JEE Mains rank.

Ans. For M.Tech CSE, NIT Kurukshetra is definitely the better choice among the two. NIT Kurukshetra provides M.Tech CSE in two specializations- Computer Engineering (CE) and Cyber Security (CS). PEC Chandigarh too provides M.Tech CSE in two specializations- Computer Science (CS) and Information Security (IS). The table below states the overview and fee structure of the two institutions.

To conclude, though PEC being an excellent institute in terms of placement, is still unnoticed by most people due to the absence of an IIT or NIT tag. This is an advantage for NIT Raipur or IIIT Naya Raipur or any other IIIT to stand a step ahead in terms of fame.Read more
