Both PGEC and NIT Sikkim are very good colleges. But choosing NIT Sikkim will be a better choice as it is a national level college and is much better than PGEC. Being a student of NIT Sikkim, I can assure you that it will be a good choice.

• NIT Sikkim is one of the leading NITs among all other NITs and has immense popularity around the nation.
• The faculty members are very talented and well experienced.
• They also have a diverse student population.
• All the students have cleared the national level entrance exam to get admission to this college so they are very good with academics too.
• The placements of this college are very good as most of the top companies visit the campus for interviews.
• The only drawback of NIT Sikkim is that it doesn't have a permanent campus yet. But this problem won't have any negative impact on your studies as the faculty and academics of this college are excellent.

Hence, NIT Sikkim is a very good college to pursue engineering courses and its academic and placement scenario are much better than any other state-level or private college.
