The internship scenario specifically is great for this branch and one of my friends at Thapar University told me that 5 of his batchmates received internship offers from Microsoft IT. Other companies offering internship offers included Expedia, Snapdeal, Royal Bank of Scotland, ARM, etc. The students received stipends in the range of 20-40k per month. Most of these companies offer PPOs to their students.

Government College of Engineering and Leather Technology (GCELT) is cheaper than Heritage Institute of Technology because it is a government institute.
Heritage Institute of Technology has better infrastructure, better labs, and everything else. GCELT has slightly lower levels of infrastructure but the teaching methodology and the quality of lectures delivered by the professors are almost similar at both the institutes.
What makes GCELT apart from Heritage Institute of Technology is its freedom which you can utilize in your spare time on activities you enjoy. It does not have any facility to give you a club like a robotics club. But you can start on your own and there is no restriction on the same. The professors will help you in every way possible.
You can succeed at either of the institutes if you work hard. If you have financial constraints, join GCELT. If you want good infrastructure join the Heritage Institute of Technology.
