Which one should I choose, CUSAT SOE or GEC Kannur/NSS Palakkad?

GEC and NSS Palakkad come under KTU whereas CUSAT SOE is a university. NSS is a government-aided college and GEC is a government college, the facilities and the faculty are at similar levels.

As KTU is a newly established university, here are some insights you need to have a look at.

One of my friends currently studies in NSS and because KTU is newly formed, the ordinance is not fully framed.
Most of the teachers and students of NSS and GEC are against the norms of the university. Hence, you must be prepared to be amidst recurring clashes.
Because of this instability, the pass percentage in all the colleges including NSS and GEC which are under KTU seems to decrease every year.

Now, in comparison to CUSAT SOE, here are some differences you must know.

CUSAT SOE is affiliated with its own university as compared to GEC and NSS. It has a better ranking than KTU and its affiliated colleges.
At CUSAT you can grab better placement opportunities at core companies as compared to GEC and NSS if you are not in the IT sector.
CUSAT SOE has a huge advantage of being situated in a prime location of Kochi.
The city is known as the financial and industrial capital of Kerala.

Categories	CUSAT SOE	GCE Kannur	NSS Palakkad
Course Fee	3.53 lakh	1.26 lakh	25.23 K
Highest CTC	22 LPA	6-8 LPA	10 LPA
Average CTC	10-12 LPA	3.5-5 LPA	7 LPA
Recruiting Companies	Microsoft, Wipro, etc.	TCS, ZS Associates, etc.	Infosys, BHEL, etc.

Overall, CUSAT SOE has an upper hand over the other two colleges of KTU. As KTU faces various instabilities due to unestablished ordinances, it hinders the performance of students. If you need to choose between GEC and NSS, NSS Palakkad is better with well-qualified teachers.
