Hi Vedansh!

Thank you for reaching out!

Here’s a clear comparison to help you choose:

• NIT Jalandhar CSE is well-established national institute with NIT tag, excellent placements in software and core CS, has strong peer group, coding culture, and hackathons.

• PEC Chandigarh (CSE + Data Science) has a great reputation, especially in North India with Data Science specialization is highly in-demand, and good industry collaborations in Chandigarh tech sector.

If you're interested in Data Analytics, AI/ML, and want that early exposure, PEC's specialized program is better. But if you prefer core CS with flexibility, NIT Jalandhar has a stronger national brand. Both are excellent choose based on your career interests.

All the best!

Hello,

If you compare NIT Jalandhar and PEC Chandighar in your mentioned department, PEC Chandighar in CSE Data Science will emerge as the winner. While both of these are reputable institutions, the PEC Chandighar has better placement records. So, if you want a better faculty and interest in data science, you can go for the PEC Chandighar.

I hope it resolves your query!!
