better option to choose than lower/newer NITs

Admission is done through JEE Mains Marks + 12th Boards percentage. As for boards percentage, one shouldn't worry much, all you need is a minimum of 65%. And for Jee Mains concern, one should score a decent percentile to get into top branches. For being safe side, one should have a score minimum of 96+ %ile for CSE, 95+%ile for IT, 94+%ile for ECE, 92+%ile for EEE, 90+%ile for Mech, and for biotech brach you don't have to worry much-cutoffs for biotech goes in lacs. Also, keep in mind that cutoffs are rapidly increasing every passing year. So, the +1 percentile for each branch will be much safer for the upcoming year batch. Please NOTE- admission is not done through JOSSA counselling for Panjab University colleges. There is a separate JAC Chandigarh counselling is there for this college. You have to apply for it soon, once your jee mains results are out. After applying for counselling, you have to choose your preferences and then, counselling goes for 3 rounds, followed by spot rounds.

If I talk about the course curriculum of UIET, I will say it's decent. In a semester, we have 1 end-sem exam (majors) of 50 marks, 2 mid-sem exams of 30 marks each (minors) out of which best of both is considered, and 20 marks are in hands of teachers (which includes attendance, class participation, quizzes, ppts, assignment etc). Here, you will get all kind of professors, some are excellent, some are good, teaches well and on the other hands, few are not so good. But still, no doubt, almost all professors have huge experience and holds Dr. before their name. You don't have to worry much about CGPA in UIET. Just a basic understanding of the subject and smartly studying a week before the exam can help you in getting good marks on the paper. 1st and 2nd semesters are the easiest ones, so there is an opportunity to score a good CGPA. Moreover, students even studying a night before exams manage to maintain a decent CGPA. It's just a matter of doing smart work, which you may learn too in UIET.
