No, it is not wise to go for an MBA in IIT Delhi, leaving PGDIM from NITIE. While both institutes offer management programs, here are some reasons why you should consider NITIE instead of IIT Delhi:
On the other hand, IIT Delhi School of Management primarily focuses on engineering, and its alumni base in the corporate sector may not be as strong as NITIE's. In conclusion, while IIT Delhi may be a good option for certain management programs, NITIE's reputation, alumni base, and location make it a better choice for marketing management.
One of my friends recently completed the GIPEDI internship offered at IIT Delhi. She got immense exposure to image processing and Machine learning in health care. She had to work on MRI image segmentation using machine learning. The entire work was research-based and she was assisted by a Ph.D. scholar.
She told me that the best part was that even after completing her internship she met in touch with her mentors and worked together. This helped her get a few good-quality publications.
Unlike what is mentioned on the website, no soft skills are considered during the internship. She expected to get a project in the CS department owing to her background in the same domain, but she was sent to the Electrical department instead. A new project irrelevant to your stream is assigned to you during this internship. Moreover, there are no accommodation facilities provided for such interns.
I think institutions are good for students, but being a student of IIT Delhi, I can vouch for it. Opting for IIT Delhi maths and computer is a good option if you are interested in CS as compared to faking CS from IIT Hyderabad.
You can get a summer internship at IIT Delhi in 2 possible ways:
Applying to the Summer Research Fellowship: This is usually for non-IIT students who wish to do an internship with IIT and also has a fixed stipend. However, I have no knowledge about the ML domain specifically.
Looking for professors that work on topics that interest you: Once you have found a professor whose work aligns with your area of interest, contact him through the mail. Tell him about your interest and your knowledge of that topic. However, working under a professor requires constant approaches and you won’t be able to contact him in the first go.

IIT Delhi Telecommunication Management MTech program is one of the most preferred programs among students with electronics and electrical backgrounds.
No doubt, the workload of this program is extremely high with a plethora of courses. One needs great capabilities to handle the pressure. The Integrated Electronics and Circuits branch is more suitable if all you are interested in is hardware.
Telecommunication Management is a multifaceted program of 3 branches; CS EE and DMS. The curriculum is well structured covering software and hardware topics. The core courses are better in the second year than in the first. You will get knowledge of both core technical as well as telecom management sectors.

If you are evaluating the institutes based on placements, then you will be pleased to know that IIT Delhi ranks 28th position in the Top 50 of Times Higher Education Global Employability University Ranking and Survey.
However, I feel placements should not be the determining factor as the IIT tag will get you placed with a good package irrespective of whichever IIT you choose. The primary determining factor should be your inclination towards a specific branch. If you target a specific branch just based on placements, you are likely to lose interest soon. This will result in a frustrated career. In fact, I have seen many students opt out of CS just because they realize that it’s not their cup of tea and go for average branches that intrigue them genuinely.

The answer to your question is objectively based solely on your inclinations. IITs might offer a better ROI than IIMs. But had I been in your place I would have gone for the newer IIMs like Kozhikode or IIM Ranchi which is one of the fastest-growing IIMs. The reasons for taking this decision would have been
All these points make IIM a more tempting choice. Yet if you are tight on budget and just want to go for the Operations domain IIT will do fine for you.
