Question

Both Chandigarh University and Punjab Engineering College are pretty good options, so it really boils down to what you're passionate about. Chemical Engineering gives you a wider range of subjects compared to Industrial Engineering (IE).

If you go for Chemical Engineering, you can specialize in cool areas like Heat Transfer, Fluid Mechanics, Polymer Science, Energy Management, and even Environmental Engineering.

Industrial Engineering is kind of like Mechanical Engineering but with its own twist. You'll dive into manufacturing processes, systems engineering, IT, and shop floor communications.

Here's a quick look at some basic info about the colleges:

Category	Chandigarh University (CE)	PEC (PIE)
Fees	INR 4.80 LPA	INR 3.46 LPA

Many say that Production and Industrial Engineering at Punjab Engineering College is a solid choice. It opens up lots of doors for students in terms of studies and jobs. Plus, even if you study chemical engineering, you might still end up doing IE stuff later on.

Its a Question about your future!
