    While PEC is nice, but one of the best engineering colleges that exist right now is Thapar Institute of Technology. Their placements, faculty, admissions everything is A1 and honestly this is the college to be in. The admissions are open for a variety of courses, and one should apply as much as they can.

    Both have good placement but in the case of infrastructure and facility, LPU is better than any other University. Being an alumnus of LPU I would prefer LPU as it has helped me grow professionally and provides exposure to various opportunities in terms of internships, workshops, guest lectures, industrial visits, placements, etc. LPU is the best engineering college in India. LPU becomes the best place to pursue an engineering degree with highly qualified teaching staff, best laboratories, and modern technologies. LPU provides abundant opportunities for students to think out of the box. With Quality of Education, Placements in LPU is al

    Both the colleges are equally good, but to be specific one should go for Thapar University, as it would provide better faculty, placement and surely a good all round exposure. I hope it helps!
    Thank you.
  • Hi,
    PEC Chd is one of the oldest technical institutions of India having around 100 years old legacy (Estd 1921) . One of the unknown facts is that erstwhile Principal of PEC Prof RN Dogra was the founding director of IIT Delhi .
    PEC surely have an extra edge over Thapar. PEC has an intake of 650 students whereas Thapar have a intake of 1600 students. Fee of PEC in 4 year will cost you around 5 lacs whereas in Thapar, it can go upto 16 lacs. In terms of placements, also PEC surely is way ahead than Thapar. PEC has a package including all the 8 streams is 7.42 lac whereas Thapar has 6 lacs. The exposure you will get at pec is phenomenal

    Punjab Engineering College University of Technology is far better than Thapar University and below you may find the reasons supporting my statement:
    1. The acceptance rate at Punjab Engineering College is lower than that of Thapar University, hence you can expect better student quality in Punjab Engineering College than in Thapar University.
    2. The intake of students in Thapar university is much more than in Punjab Engineering College that being more than 1500 for Thapar and around 600 for PEC.
    3. The average placement package considering all the branches in Punjab Engineering College is higher than that of Thapar University i.e. 7 LPA

    Both the colleges are located in the North region, being in Punjab.
    Both the institutions are esteemed and provide with quality education along with many other facilities.
    Now coming to comparison then definitely go for Thapar University.
    The university though charges a high fee, but provides quality education and facilities, and has modern infrastructure whereas PEC Chandigarh is relatively small and has a very old infrastructure.
    The faculties at Thapar University are remarkable and the same is accompanied by the quality of students.
    For mechanical engineering, they are equipped with modern labs, equipment, workshops and many event and s

In these labs we get to work on real machines, tools, engines, and different mechanical equipment. Teachers guide us step by step, so even difficult topics become easy to understand.

The course covers all the main subjects like thermodynamics, manufacturing process,
