All the aforementioned institutes, DTU, BITS, NSIT, and IIIT Delhi are excellent colleges that are well-recognized in the tech sector. As a whole the curriculum and placement opportunities for CS offered by these colleges are quite similar. The average package varies slightly but the individual differences compensate for that. Here is a comparative analysis of the placement statistics of these colleges

However, if you look from the angle of research , IIIT Delhi certainly is way ahead than the other colleges. Its research-oriented institute is primarily established to conduct cutting-edge research in the field of CS. While BITS Pilani also has a decent research culture, DTU, and NSUT are nowhere near IIIT Delhi in terms of research. IIIT Delhi students have a lot of projects to work on under highly learned and passionate faculties. The exposure these students receive is unmatched and they are offered excellent opportunities in terms of both in industry and for higher education.
So if you want both excellent placements and research opportunities go for IIIT Delhi but if you want a good campus life too that is less focused on research go for BITS Pilani.
IIT institutions will always have a better tag in terms of reputation and value of degree when it comes to choosing between any other universities. Although IIT Patna and IIT Dhanbad are fairly new branches of IIT, the services and quality of education is rapidly improving and has become almost equivalent to some of the old IIT institutes.
Faculty at IIITD is much better than the IITs but one of my friends opted for IIT Patna seeing the ‘IIT’ tag. The CSE branch is constantly improving every year and choosing an IIT campus will ensure a diverse, highly academic and comparatively better peer group to be part of.
The table below shows a brief overview of the institutes:

Therefore, given a choice, students must choose to opt for an IIT campus as compared to IIITD. Delhi has an advantage due to its location but IITs surpasses all the factors.
My cousin graduated from DTU in CS. According to him, these institutions can be ranked for CS in the following order-
DTU is considered one of the best Indian institutions for CS. Therefore, you should go for DTU if you get the opportunity. Every technical society at DTU, be it IEEE, ASME, CSI, IET, or even the small ones, gives great value to coding competitions. Thus, coding classes and competitions are held on a regular basis.
For those who want to work on real-use-productive coding instead of passive-competitive coding, there are many opportunities at DTU. DTU has several societies, and there are student entrepreneurs who are always in dire need of talented coders.
DTU also has a locational advantage. Being situated in the capital of India, it offers students great opportunities and exposure, not just industrial but of all types. Gurgaon is the IT hub and since you will spend 4 years of student life in Delhi, if you land a job in Gurgaon after graduating, you will have been accustomed to the region by that time.
The seniors at DTU are helpful and there is a strict anti-ragging policy on campus. The faculty consists of learned and helpful professors. The non-tech placements are also quite good at DTU.
DTU has huge brand value, long-standing history, and it is the mother of a lot of great colleges.
NIT Calicut is a good choice as well because it has a good placement record and an impressive infrastructure. In terms of location, however, DTU, NSUT, and IIIT Delhi are at an advantage.
You can consider all the above factors and finally decide which of these institutions is the right choice for you to pursue your CS.
Comparison of IIIT Delhi over DTU and NSIT should be based on some criteria:
According to IIITD, in 2019 B.Tech CSE placed 98.96% of students and B.Tech ECE placed 94.59% of students. The average salary of the last batch is Rs. 15 lakhs. In the case of NSIT, they record around 90% of placement every year. The average salary of the last B.Tech batch is around 8 lakhs per year. DTU also gives around 11.17 lakhs per annum with 70-80% student’s placement per year.
Established in 2008, IIITD has a cutting edge infrastructure with high tech equipment. In NSIT, you might still find 2nd gen. computers. The institute has no A.C facility in labs, classrooms. And in DTU, the operative condition of instruments is also weak, even not fully connected to Wi-Fi.
In the case of academic blocks and hostel facilities, IIITD has an auditorium and a total of 25 lecture halls of varying sizes. At present, there is one hostel for boys and one for girls. NSIT has 2 girl’s hostels and 2 boy’s hostels. Hostel life is wonderful in DTU. Hostel infrastructure is good along with badminton and TT court inside. There are 5 hostels for boys and 3 for girls.
In IIITD, the Library has a large collection of print and electronic media. With this, the institute has fully connected through the internet connection. The condition of the library of NSIT and DTU is also good, but the condition of books and print media is less compared to IIITD.
IIITD is nearly Rs. 3,60,000 per year for B.Tech in 2019 -20, for M.Tech (CSE/ECE) 2019 it is nearly Rs.1,85,000 which is high as compare to NSIT where for B.Tech nearly Rs. 1,66,000 per year (2019-20), and for M.Tech it is Rs. 1,86,000. Whereas DTU charges Rs. 1,95,000 for B.Tech and for M.Tech it is Rs. 1,66,000.
The IIITD got rank through NIRF 55th in India. Whereas the NSIT ranked 11 among Engineering colleges by Outlook and 22 by the week in 2019. The DTU has got rank 36 for engineering by NIRF 2020.
80-90 percentile in JEE Main 2024 will roughly translate to a rank between 1,50,000 to 3,00,000. Here is the previous year cutoff for B.Tech admission at IIIT Delhi to give you a basic idea of the cutoff trends (for general category)-
JEE MAIN cutoff 2023 for B.Tech admission at IIIT Delhi (General Category)
Branch | HS | OS |
---|---|---|
B.Tech Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence | 8,416 | - |
B.Tech Computer Science Engineering | 11,874 | - |
B.Tech Computer Science and Applied Mathematics | 14,725 | 5,489 |
B.Tech Computer Science and Design | 17,905 | 7,454 |
B.Tech Computer Science and Social Sciences | 22,859 | 7,896 |
B.Tech Computer Science and Biosciences | 23,771 | 8,304 |
B.Tech Electronics & Communication Engineering | 26,762 | 8,670 |
B.Tech Electronics & VLSI Engineering | 30,593 | 10,141 |
As evident from the table, the JEE Main cutoff at IIIT Delhi is quite high (between 5,489-10,141 for OS candidates, and 8,416-30,593 for HS candidates). Therefore, it is unfortunately highly unlikely for you to get an admission into IIIT Delhi for a B.Tech program with 90 percentile in JEE Main 2024. This is especially true if you are a general category candidate.
IIIT Delhi cutoffs are released by JAC Delhi based on the previous year’s cutoff and JEE Mains score. In 2023, the overall JEE Mains cutoff for the SC category ranged from 25550 to 58764 ranks.
However, according to the JEE Mains Predictor 2024, 80 percentile is expected to range between 233022 and 250381 ranks.
Hence, there are very low chances of getting admission to IIIT Delhi with an 80 percentile under the SC category and OS quota. Candidates can refer to the table given below to comprehend last year’s cutoff trend for the SC category and other state quotas:
Courses |
2023 Cutoff |

Here is the best preference order you can refer to while choosing one IIIT from the long list you mentioned. I have considered all parameters including placements, coding culture, research, infrastructure, alumni, etc
If you are genuinely interested in coding or CSE, the best options for you would be IIIT Hyderabad, Allahabad, Bangalore, and Delhi. You can consider the top NITs as excellent options too. These 4 IIITs are the only IIITs that are better than NITs in terms of research, curriculum, and holistic development.
IIIT Lucknow, although a new IIIT, has established its name among the top IIITs. Its high ranking is because of its excellent coding culture and thus many product companies visit it. These 4 IIITs have their own campus too and charge high fees because of the top-notch faculty and research resources they offer.
All the remaining IIITs are in the development stage and should not be given consideration. It’s better to choose the top 7 or 8 NITs than these developing IIITs.
