Among the ones mentioned, DTU should be your first choice for pursuing CS. Many reasons support DTU over others. First of all, the coding culture at DTU is unparalleled. One of the underpinning aspects in this context is the platform of DSECoders. It is a perfect platform to get acquainted with coding within DTU campus. Besides, eminent technical societies like IEEE, ASME including others also conduct coding classes and competitions for students. Secondly, the institute has a plethora of societies that provide great impetus to coders. Thirdly, the campus location of DTU provides a conducive exposure and opportunity for students. Delhi-NCR is a hub of great IT companies and this provides the students with ample job opportunities. Furthermore, the placement scenario at DTU is quite impressive. 

Although IIIT Delhi, IIIT Allahabad, and NIT Calicut have a reputed “IIT” and “IIIT” tag, they suffer from their own cons. Their campuses are quite small and do not conduct ample extracurricular activities. Besides, the alumni base of IIITs is quite small as compared to DTU. Though they do provide an impressive coding culture, DTU still stands taller. NIT Calicut, on the other hand, has an outdated curriculum and the hostel facilities are dilapidated. Thus, considering all the facades, DTU undoubtedly stands taller as compared to the other colleges mentioned in the question. Although IIIT Delhi and DTU might seem at par with each other, DTU is still better considering the vast alumni base it has produced over the years.

Both universities have their own advantages as well as drawbacks.

NIT Calicut is ranked 3rd in the Architecture Category by the NIRF Rankings 2019. B.Arch. from NIT Calicut costs INR 2.59 lakh. The selection of the program is based on JEE Main rankings. The institute has well-qualified faculties and provides good infrastructure. The department of Architecture at NIT Calicut has 5 laboratories. The placements statistics of 2019 reveals a total of 3 students from the B.Arch program got placement offers out of the 9 students who registered. The average salary offered was 9.08 LPA, whereas the maximum salary offered was 18.24 LPA.

On the other hand, B.Arch. from Lovely Professional University, Punjab costs a total of INR 6.86 lakh. There are ample scholarship opportunities that students can opt for. The scholarships are given based on the LPUNEST (National Entrance and Scholarship test) ranks. The college has good infrastructure and experienced faculty members for Architecture. The students get placements based on their internships. Almost 95% of the students get their internships in the second year of the program. The major recruiters at LPU are Microsoft, Infosys, Amazon India, IBM, Samsung, ICICI Bank, Hindustan Unilever Limited Bosch, etc. The average salary package at LPU is 2 LPA and the highest is 12 LPA.

In a nutshell, both the universities offer great exposure, good placements and provide quality education. Regarding a better choice among the two, LPU seems to have comparatively more satisfactory review from students than NITC.

Hostels in NIT C for the PG students are not good. Students are allotted to the Professor's Apartment in their first tear. 

• The apartment consists of a flat which has 3 rooms, kitchen and 1 hall i.e. equivalent to a 3 BHK flat. But the number of students in each flat depends on the number of rooms each flat possesses. 
• Along with that, some students get the golden opportunity of residing in halls or even in the kitchens. 
• The toilets according to the number of students are always less and then there is always a queue outside the bathroom gate in the morning. There are a total of 14 to 16 students per flat. 
• The journey from apartments to college is like going on a trek. Now they have started a bus service.

This was the scenario of the first year and for the second year students, the scenario is a bit different. The second-year students are mostly accommodated in the MBA hostels which have toilets attached with the rooms but are far from the previous apartments where you were living in the first year. 

Wi-Fi is available on the campus and works well for the new buildings and hostels. At the time of joining they will tell you that the new hostels are under construction and will be ready to move soon. 

Please take a note that if possible go for the kitchen as that will be the only single room accommodation available for you as a PG student in NIT Calicut.

I have friends studying at NIT Calicut, and according to them, the classes usually begin from around 8 A.M. However, it is not mandatory to have a class during the very first hour when the institute commences. Depending upon your timetable and batch, the classes can accordingly vary. 

You can have a total of 3 to 4 hours of class periods and it might still commence from around 10.15 A.M, depending upon whether or not you have been allotted the slot with other members of your class.

While Electronics and Communication are one of the better branches offered at the college, it is also one of the toughest. You will definitely have to study a lot and might have to give up on other activities to really focus on the studies that are involved with this field.

Many of my friends also find it quite hectic to balance assignments and projects with other extracurricular activities and some of them have even considered dropping the course overall. In terms of faculty, you will find some helpful people who will provide you some really good quality education.

The professors here are known to show interest in their field and passion for their subjects. This will translate very well into you and who knows, you will become fond of the subject as well. Some of the faculty definitely go out of the way to help students. All you will have to do is focus and study to get a good grade.

If you are concerned about placements, overall, 133 companies visit the college. The highest salary offered is INR 49.75 LPA with an average CTC of INR 11.58 LPA. The placement percentage for ECE is 89.72 which is quite good with the highest CTC of 38 LPA. Some of the top recruiters include IBM, Oracle, Amazon, Microsoft, JP Morgan, etc.

While the branch may be tough, the placements are definitely quite good for the same. With a little determination and focus, I think you will definitely be able to do quite well in ECE at NIT.
