Punjabi University BTech fees range between INR 66,840 and INR 5 Lakh. The most affordable specialisation is BTech Electronics and Communication Engineering while the most expensive specialisation is BTech Computer Science Engineering.

Honestly, for BTech CSE I'd pick Thapar. It has a stronger engineering reputation, better placement opportunities and a stronger peer group overall. Chitkara is decent too, but if you have both options, I'd go with Thapar.

Yes, definitely worth considering. Thapar has a good reputation, strong academics, decent placements and good industry exposure. If you're getting a preferred branch there, I'd say go for it.

If you have CSE at both, I'd pick Thapar. Chitkara is a decent option, especially if fees are a big factor, but Thapar has the stronger engineering reputation and overall peer group. If the fee difference isn't a major issue for you, I'd go with Thapar.
