Hey Kartikey ,
Greetings!

Pantnagar has an established name and infrastructure. It surely has better brains both as faculty and students. Though you need better ranks to get in , but that is also a plus as your fellow batchmates would also be intelligent and push you to work hard. The mess and hostels are also good.

However , talking about UPES - average placement for CSE is of 3 LPA . Rest of the decision is yours.

Good Luck ! You can reply to this comment if you have any further queries , I will be happy to help .
