If you are eligible for both streams, it is important to keep in mind that both are tier 2 colleges. According to my friends at the institutes, these colleges don’t see many core companies in the campus placement even for the CSE branch. Most of the recruiting companies are IT consultancies or Tech Support.

Hence, if you opt for ECE in UIET you will probably end up working in Deloitte or Infosys, or MU-Sigma. Therefore, it is advisable to stay close to the main campus of PU. This will also help you in enjoying your college life to the fullest.

While on the other hand, if you are passionate about coding and want to become a software engineer, then UIET and CCET, both see various kinds of young startups that recruit Software Developers as well as Designers. If this is the case, you must opt for CSE in CCET as a lot of subjects that are required for software development are not taken up in ECE because of PU’s curriculum, for example, AI, Data Structures, DBMS are considered only in CSE but not in ECE.

UIET Chandigarh may not be the best institute for B.E. CSE as very few faculty members provide quality learning to students. But if you are already into coding, then it really does not matter. 

To sail through CSE in any other college (including UIET), apart from IIT, you need to keep in mind that CSE covers the overall computer learnings, starting from silicon to single printf. You need to focus on the concepts and core subjects like Operating System, Computer Architecture, Digital Electronics, Principles of Compiler Design, and Computer Networks. No institute can provide a surety to develop your coding skills. It depends upon your self-improvements.

Here’s a highlight of the CSE program at UIET. 

If you want to develop coding skills, learn online using Linux, gcc, vim. Apart from the lack of coding culture life at UIET is great, you will have a good college life.

Having friends studying there and also being a part of UIET myself. I can share some details with you, which you may find helpful.

• In case you opt for CSE or IT, you get a placement offer of around 6LPA – 7LPA. 
• But being an ECE student at UIET, you cannot expect a decent placement with a very prestigious company. 
• According to the recent statistics regarding the placement for the batch of 2021, you will come to know that a total of 286 students got a placement with an average package of INR 6.39 LPA. 
• The top recruiters this year were Google and Amazon.

Make up your mind regarding your interest and the overall placement that the university offers and then make your decision with a cool mind that would not be regretful for you in the future.

Both the colleges are good at their place but it depends upon your perspective that what you expect from your college life. 

• If you live in Chandigarh and opt for UIET, you will remain in your comfort zone of your home city. 
• But instead of staying in your city and deciding to get admission to VIT, Vellore, you learn many things during your undergraduate life. 
• Eventually, when you stay in a hostel away from your parents you start taking complete responsibility for food, studies, laundry, etc. This will in your future make you independent. 
• In Chandigarh, you will get independence only when you get a job in some other state and have to move out of the city. It will be like a drastic change in your life.
• Meeting new people will always help you to make connections and you will receive enough exposure.

If you compare the quality of education that is provided in both UIET and VIT, you can determine this easily by talking to the students who are studying as they have real-life experience of the campus. But the fee structure of UIET is comparatively lower than that of VIT as the college comes under a center-funded state university.

The choice between CSE and EEE is subjective and totally depends on you. Keep aside your confusion about these colleges and give a thought to what you want to pursue by outlining the major factors that drive your interest the most.

You should rather explore the curriculum, campus, placements, packages offered, faculty, etc. of both the colleges in that particular field.

Both UIET Hoshiarpur and UIET Chandigarh provide a degree from Punjab University. I guess the highlighted difference you would find are the cities in which they are located and the campus life. Here’s a brief insight into the courses.

The question here arises whether or not you want to pursue higher studies after going for EEE. EEE in UIET would not provide you with good placements. Go for CSE at Hoshiarpur if you have no other options. 

You can consider other options too if you have them.

Your willingness to pursue this particular stream should be the sole reason you opt for it. It should not be based on anyone’s opinion. Every stream is unique in its own way.

Biotechnology is a tough choice as there are not many opportunities available to its students in India. If you are expecting good placement opportunities after finishing this course from UIET, then you will be disappointed. 

But, if you want to go for research work after this then it is no doubt the perfect choice for you. Since not many go for this subject, you would have an upper hand. You will find students opting for this stream just because they didn’t their desired branch. 

Here’s a brief overview of the Biotechnology course offered at the institute.

Biotechnology in UIET would be a good option only if you’re willing to go for a master’s or any other research work as the placements here are not even satisfactory.
