Hi Aspirant,

Selecting  a branch always depends on your interest in the course of that branch. If you like technical theory, networking, programming, and computer related things, you can go for IT. If you like to combine creativity, knowledge and analytical tools to complete the difficult task of shaping an idea into reality, you can go for Mechanical Engineering.

Now coming to the college selection, most of the person selects a college depending on how huge their placements are. Placement of CSE & IT in AIT are really good comparing to many of the other prominent colleges. Also PEC has a brand value  and as per reports the placement for Mechanical engineering is very high with about 95% placement in core only. The highest packages keep on increasing every year and you will get placements in PEC unless you do really bad there.

For further clarifications, you can refer the link below and compare these two colleges,

Hope this helps.

Good luck!!!
