You should prefer MTech CSE at DTU. It offers better facilities. The infrastructure and hostel facilities of DTU are great. Located in the heart of Delhi, it offers better exposure to the industry. It is comparably easier to receive live projects, internships, and placement opportunities. Companies such as Microsoft, Wipro, Cisco, etc. take part in DTU placements. The average CTC for MTech CSE students is around INR 10 LPA - 12 LPA.
When it comes to choosing a stream for higher education, it's important to follow your interests and passions. Ultimately, the decision should be yours alone, and you should choose the stream that you feel most excited and enthusiastic about pursuing.
If you're considering IT or software engineering, there are a number of factors to take into account when making your decision. Here are some key points to consider:
With all of these factors in mind, it's worth noting that if you were in a position to choose between IT at IIIT Allahabad and software engineering at DTU, you might lean towards IT at IIITA. This is because IIIT Allahabad has one of the best CS faculty in all of India, which could provide a valuable learning experience and open doors to a wider range of career opportunities.
Additionally, the IT sector is known for offering great placement opportunities, which can be a key consideration for many students when choosing a program.
It isn’t certain that you’ll get NSUT or DTU next year.
Also, if you plan to join some degree program during this year drop, preparing for your entrance will become even more hectic with your college studies. Dropping a year can take a toll on your mental health as well. Moreover, It will be much more disheartening if you are unable to get into DTU or NSUT even after a drop year.
I would personally recommend you join Jamia Hamdard University for your CS.

ECE and IT are two completely different streams in the field of Engineering and hence, one must go for the stream he/she wants to pursue. However, choosing the right college to build a student’s career is also important.

However, IIEST is ranked higher and offers better placement than DTU. Nevertheless, the first thing that you have to consider is which stream you want to study and then decide a college depending upon that.
