Hello Aryan,

In my opinion,

UIET Chandigarh is an average institute in Chandigarh and comparing it to BIT Mesra would not be right.

In terms of placements BIT Mesra is far better than UIET Chandigarh. Moreover, Chemical and Polymer courses in BIT should not be underrated and is a good branch in terms of syllabus, academics, and, placements. Students in Mechanical branch in UIET are one of the least placed ones. Some prepare for GATE while some prepare for GRE. You can expect an average placement of 3 to 4 lakhs per annum from UIET and that too if you maintain a high CGPA.

While in BIT Mesra, placement scenario. Branch upgradation is not that tough in BIT. You just have to get a decent CGPA and apply for the upgradation. But do remember that upgradation in any college is subject to vacant seats.

Hope it helps.
