Almost. But the computer foundation of electronic technology is better. University of Electronic Science and Technology of China originally belonged to the Department of Electronics, while Northeastern University originally belonged to the Ministry of Metallurgy, with a metallurgical background. The University of Electronic Science and Technology of China has a better external window, but Northeastern University has more exchanges with Japan and South Korea. Northeastern University is a junior college, while University of Electronic Science and Technology of China is a junior college, so its status is higher. Neither school is very strong in software engineering.
