My friend is an NIT Jalandhar pass out so I can speak about that only. She regretted getting admission into NIT Jalandhar. She faced some serious problems
Faculty: The professors were below average in their teaching methods. Most lacked the basic knowledge and just read out from books. Moreover, if you don’t win their favor you get fewer marks in assignments. This affects your overall CGPA.
Crowd: It will be hard to find a diverse crowd here as most of the students hail from Punjab itself. Even their language is common within the campus.
Placements: Talking specifically about Mechanical Engineering placements, the condition is pretty bad. The average package this year was INR 7.87 LPA while the highest CTC was just INR 8.4 LPA.
Hostels: The first and second-year hostels do not have Wi-Fi connections which is a major drawback. Hostels 3-7 are also averagely built. Mega Hostels have better facilities in comparison to other hostels at NIT Jalandhar.
These are some shortcomings of NIT Jalandhar which might affect your overall experience. You can research the same for NIT Rourkela and make a comparison. In case NIT Rourkela is even worse, then NIT Jalandhar is your last option.
The CSE department at PEC Chandigarh has a great faculty, well-established infrastructure, and excellent placements. Many of my friends have left NSIT for PEC. The environment is cordial and accepting in PEC.
CSE like ECE and Electrical, attract software companies that provide students with immense options to choose from. Core companies also take part in PEC Chandigarh’s placement program.
Companies like Arcesium, Amazon, GS, SanDisk, etc. offered students a salary package of 34 LPA. Though very few students are offered an amount like this.

A large number of companies participating in the placement program in PEC have made it better than other colleges in the region, even NITs, second only to IITs, BITS Pilani and DTU.
PEC Chandigarh is a highly recommended college to pursue CSE for a career ahead.
On the basis of academics, if a college has to be chosen between NIT Surathkal and NIT Hamirpur for a B. Tech civil engineering course, one should look at the different perspectives that are given below.
NIT Surathkal:
NIRF ranked NIT Surathkal as the 21st best engineering college in 2019. The college has an amazing faculty for civil engineering most of the teachers that are in NITSurathkal have acquired Ph.D. degrees and a minimum teaching average of 2 years. The admission to the BTech Civil program is through JEE Mains.
Placements:
NIT Hamirpur:
In the academic year 2019, NIRF was ranked as the 60th best engineering college in India. The BTech Civil Engineering admission is through JEE Mains. NIT Hamirpur has 9 Ph.D. scholars who are taking the classes. They give tutorial framed questions and the faculty also provides the best study materials.
Placements:
Therefore, in conclusion, in terms of syllabus, both these colleges have more or less the same course structure and merit system. If a choice has to be made between the two one can choose a college based on the factors that are given above.
If I was in your place and had to choose between the aforementioned institutes, I would set my preference order as follows
NSIT IT >= DTU IT > DTU SE > MNNIT CSE
The reason I have placed NSIT and DTU in the first place is because of their location in the capital city. This opens multiple doors of opportunities and exposure that might not be available in other colleges. Also, the quality of students these colleges attract is top notch and you will end up befriending some of the most genius minds.
However, if you are passionate about programming and CS, then choose IIIT Delhi because its curriculum and overall ambiance are CS oriented. The research culture and facilities here are unmatched and students conduct high-end research under the guidance of some great faculty.
Your last option should be MNNIT mainly because of its poor location.
Hope this helped you make a wise decision!
The University of Chandigarh and Punjab Engineering College are equally good. It finally depends on you and what you are passionate about, as chemical engineering has a broader curriculum than IE.
Students opting for Chemical Engineering can specialize in the fields of Heat Transfer, Fluid Mechanics, Polymer Science & Technology, Energy Management, Biochemical Engineering, Separation Processes, Reaction Engineering, Pulp and paper, and Environmental Engineering.
Industrial Engineering is somewhat similar to Mechanical Engineering but not quite. Students will get to learn about manufacturing processes, manufacturing systems, systems engineering, IT, Networks, basic shop floor communications, and much more.
In the following table, you will get basic information about the colleges -

But the Production and Industrial Engineering Branch of Punjab Engineering College is better. It also gives lots of opportunities to students both in education and placement. Also, even if you go for chemical engineering, you will for IE.
Therefore, choosing Production and Industrial Engineering from Punjab Engineering College, Chandigarh is a better option than Chemical Engineering of Chandigarh University, as it has more opportunities.
According to my alumni connections from both the colleges, IIIT-Allahabad should be your priority for any degree in information technology. There should be no doubt if you are comparing with IIITM Gwalior. IIIT-Allahabad has an edge over IIITM Gwalior because of these two major reasons:

Both are very good institutes but definitely, the IIIT Allahabad is better. However, in case your pool of interest is information systems management, then you can blindly go for IIITM Gwalior, as they provide integrated degrees in IT and Management.
It is better to pursue civil engineering from IIT BHU in comparison to IIT Dhanbad. The reasons for choosing IIT BHU for pursuing Civil engineering are as follows:
In conclusion, selecting IIT BHU for civil engineering is a decision rooted in wisdom and potential. The institution's esteemed reputation, world-class faculty, cutting-edge research opportunities, and robust infrastructure make it a top choice for aspiring civil engineers. Choosing IIT BHU signifies a commitment to academic excellence and a stepping stone toward a promising future in the field of civil engineering.
Yes, Dayananda Sagar College of Engineering is good for Mechanical Engineering. Be it faculty, labs, department, infrastructure, branch, or any other aspect, the college is a perfect fit.
The only disadvantage of DSCE Bangalore is that it doesn't provide any offers from core companies. The students of the mechanical branch end up getting a job in the IT sector. If any core job offers are available, these companies will only hire students in single digit.
Companies like Accenture, Cognizant, Infosys, and Tech Mahindra hire students irrespective of the branches.
If a job in the IT sector suits you after graduating from the mechanical branch, then you can opt for Dayanand Sagar College for Engineering as it is the best college. It will furnish a job but in the IT sector.
Ganpat University Mehsana offers a decent Megatronics course. As compared to other colleges in Gujarat, it has better labs and infrastructural facilities for the Mechanical and Mechatronics departments.
But Ganpat University placement scenario is not that good. There is almost little to no placement for the Mechatronics branch. Although many companies come to the institute for placements, most prefer Mechanical students over Mechatronics students.
To answer your question, it depends on your preference and interest in the subject. When it comes to IIT Kanpur, material science is a very reputed course.
