The answer to this question depends on the interests. It totally depends on the field of interest of the student.
If there is still a confusion about DTU for software Engineering and ECE at NSIT they can look at the college placements for that particular course.
Placements of Software Engineering at DTU and Communications engineering at NSIT:
Name of the College |
Delhi Technological University (DTU) |
Netaji Subhas Institute of Technology (NSIT) |
Highest package offered |
1.08 crores per annum |
INR 56 Lakhs per Annum |
Average package recorded |
13 Lakhs per annum |
INR 10 Lakhs per Annum |
Top recruiting companies |
Google, Microsoft, amazon, adobe etc. |
Google, Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan, Amazon, Arcesium and Adobe |
Therefore, according to the placement averages and top companies that visit the college, Software engineering from Delhi technical university seems like a viable option. There is a wide wage gap that we can see in the tables mentioned above. Also, most of my batch mates also feels that software engineering in DTU is a better option as compared to ECE in NSIT.
CSD and IT have practically the same core subjects. You’ll have a similar curriculum in either of the options. Unless you have a strong interest in the design aspect of CSD, the choice is mainly between the two colleges.
IIITD is very research-oriented. It has state-of-the-art research labs and facilities. You’ll be exposed to dedicated and active research groups over there. Academics are taken quite seriously. You’ll study your subjects in depth for the next 4-5 years.
At DTU on the other hand, academics are very laid back. You’ll get lots of time for extracurriculars. You can polish your skills in the area of your interest.
If you are sure to build a future in Computer Science, join IIIT Delhi. But if you wish to explore yourself, and polish your skills in some other field, join DTU.
You should choose the college closer to your home. Both the colleges DTU and IIT Dhanbad are Tier-1 engineering colleges in India.

The more well-grounded and genuine way to become a Mechanical or Automobile Engineer in India is to become proficient in the GATE/ IES ME curriculum and participate in some competitive exams to secure a job in the government sector.
Mechanical engineering is getting outdated and people are not getting in any good place in India by doing Mechanical engineering. This program is even getting shut in various developed countries. So, choose wisely.
In my opinion, IT at DTU is a far better option than IT at NIT Surathkal. Here are some strong points in favor of my opinion
While both institutes are quite well-known, choosing DTU might open better opportunities because of its prime location and rich legacy.
NSUT and DTU are prestigious engineering colleges of Delhi. To get admission into any of them, you will have to clear the JEE Mains exam with a good All India rank.
After obtaining your rank and learning about the cutoffs for the year, you’ll have to fill out the JAC Delhi form. It is made available around the same time as the announcement of JEE Advanced. You’ll get a month to fill out the form. In the form, you’ll have to fill out your choice of colleges in the order of preference.
You’ll get the best option according to your rank, from among the colleges/branches you select. Fill out this form with utmost care. You’ll be allotted your college on the day of JAC Delhi counseling. It is important to note that NSUT, DTU and IIITD reserve 85% of their seats for students who complete their +2 from Delhi NCT, and only 15% seats are made available for outsiders.
You can check the 2023 JEE Mains cutoffs for NSUT Delhi, and the 2023 JEE Mains cutoffs for DTU.
If you are interested in Computer Science and want to pursue MS/Ph.D. from universities abroad, after graduation, IIITD CSD is the best option for you. IIITD CSD placements are also pretty good. During the 2021 placement drive, the average CTC offered was INR 16.56 LPA.
If you find Electrical Engineering or Instrumentation and Control Engineering interesting and want to go for GATE/PSU/MTech, then choose the respective streams at DTU/NSIT. These branches aren’t usually open for most IT and coding-based jobs. For an MBA or a non-tech, career path, DTU or NSIT will be better as well.
If you are looking for a better peer group, location, and placement opportunities, then NSIT CS will be a better option.
NSIT has a lower student intake. So, the competition is lower for placement and students get the required attention from faculties. For CS, NSIT placements are great. Each year, almost 80% of students get internships. NSIT CSE average package is around INR 12-15 LPA.
Having known some people studying in both these institutions, I can say that if you plan to get a job offer, go for CS at Thapar University. If not and are interested in doing research opt for Engineering Physics at DTU.
Categories | CS at Thapar University |
Course Fee | 13.23 lakh |
Highest CTC | 22 LPA |
Average CTC | 8 LPA |
There are many reputed companies that take part in their placement program and recruit CS graduates. These include Infosys, Wipro, Accenture, Capgemini, Oracle, IBM, ZS Associates, Morgan Stanley and many more.
Between NIT Jalandhar Mechanical Engineering and DTU MAM, the latter is the better option. This is because the placements for DTU mechanical are excellent. Some of the most reputed firms that visit the campus are Bajaj, Volvo, Daimler-Benz, Brahmos Aerospace, Technip, Schlumberger, Caterpillar, etc. Most of my friends from the same branch were able to secure amazing packages at top firms.
The learning process at DTU is more extensive. It has a lot of Mechanical Engineering teams which can help you know your branch better.
So choose DTU over NIT.
ECE at NIT Delhi is not good. If you want to stay in Delhi then IIIT Delhi is a better alternative. Also, you can easily apply for CSE at other NITs or apply for other colleges such as PEC, IIIT, YMCA, etc.

The faculty at NIT Delhi are not very skilled and they have less experience if compared with faculties of IIIT Delhi.
If you like CS and want to explore plenty of opportunities then you should apply at IIIT Delhi or other NITs. ECE at NIT Delhi is more substandard than CSE at NIT Delhi. Between the choices given, DTU Mechanical is a better option than ECE at NIT Delhi.
