• Faculty: The faculty of IITs are the best and experienced teachers throughout the country. 
• Brand Value: The brand value of IIT is definitely better than that of PEC. It has international recognition. 
• Rank: MHRD has ranked both of the two colleges among the top colleges in India and is therefore considered as the best.
• Placements: The placements are exceptionally well in IITs. For the CSE branch, the average package is about 16 LPA, in electrical it is about 12 LPA and in the core branches like mechanical, it is around 8-9 LPA that is more than the average packages of PEC.
