According to the reviews online, here are some of the facts about both these colleges, and which one will be the better choice for pursuing chemical engineering.

• Nirma University’s cut off is higher than PDPU.
• Nirma is a much more established and experienced college than PDPU.
• Both colleges have highly qualified and cooperative faculty members.
• The laboratories of PDPU are much more well maintained and upgraded than Nirma, as it is much younger compared to Nirma.
