Among the above two, PDPU for a TFW should be the better choice for a series of reasons, fees being the prime one. The fee structure is quite low, and you can get a waiver of almost Rs.1.15 Lakhs per semester in PDPU.

A brief overview of the two colleges is stated below.

Fee Structure: (Winning Institute - PDPU)

• It is evident from the fee structure of the above two colleges that PDPU will cost much less under the category of Complete Tuition Fee Waiver. Other than TFW, PDPU would cost almost the same as BVM in general (1,34,000 for the 1st year).
• The hostel fees for the two colleges are quite similar, having 2-seater and 3-seater rooms with or without A/C, with an annual compensation within the range stated above.

Course Facilities: (Winning Institute - PDPU)

• PDPU has an excellent curriculum and placement for Petroleum, Mechanical, and Chemical engineering departments. Other than that, candidates can opt for CS/IT branches which are new yet decent in overall development.
• BVM Civil Engineering has limited career opportunities. There is a very less chance of getting placed in-campus or getting some career advancement from it.

PDPU, as the name suggests, is an excellent college for Petroleum Engineering also one of the best colleges in Gujarat on an overall scale.
