How good are DTU, BITS , NSIT and IIIT Delhi, as compared to each other in terms of placements and research opportunities?

TA

Lives in New Delhi

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 

Institute

IIIT Delhi

DTU

INR 16 LPA (Median)

Microsoft, Amazon, Texas Instrument, Google, Qualcomm

BITS Pilani

329

INR 30.37 LPA

Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Visa, Adobe, Cisco,

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.

Between IIIT Allahabad, IIIT Delhi, DTU, NSIT, DAIICT, NIT Calicut, which college should I choose for pursuing CS ?

Sabeer Chalana Posted On : July 5th, 2023

My cousin graduated from DTU in CS. According to him, these institutions can be ranked for CS in the following order-

  1. DTU
  2. NIT Calicut
  3. IIIT Allahabad
  4. NSIT (now NSUT)
  5. IIIT Delhi
  6. DAIICT

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.

Should I go for biotechnology in DTU or an ECE in MAIT IP?

TA
Tithi Aggrawal Posted On : July 12th, 2023
Lives in New Delhi

If you are getting a chance at DTU, you should take it. Decent ECE companies do not usually visit the MAIT campus for placements. Therefore getting placed can be difficult.

Biotechnology is an emerging stream and is essential for our future in new energy, innovative tech, and creative know-how. It has a good scope and you should go for it.

Choose Biotechnology at DTU especially if-

  1. If you have even a slight interest in Biology
  2. Want to crack CAT or UPSC
  3. Want to go for MS

DTU offers pretty good placement opportunities for all branches, right after graduation.

The college life, infrastructure, peer groups, and crowd at DTU are all better than MAIT.

The DTU brand holds prestige and you will benefit from it in your career.

Thus, you should go for Biotechnology at DTU. Go for ECE at MAIT only if you are very passionate about this stream.

Which one is better, MAIT CSE or DTU BT/ENE/EP/PCT?

TS
Tanvi Sinha Posted On : March 29th, 2023
B.Tech Information Technology, Delhi Technological University (2020)

 When deciding between engineering branches, it is important to consider your future goals and current interests. Here are some points to help you make an informed decision:

  • Consider your plans: If you plan to pursue an MS abroad after graduation, then CSE may be a better option as Indians are highly sought after in the IT industry abroad. However, if you plan to work in India, both branches are equally good.
  • Think about your career path: If you are interested in non-technical roles like consulting and marketing, then either branch would suffice. However, if you are interested in hardcore engineering jobs, then both branches are equally good.
  • Look at the exposure provided: DTU offers excellent exposure as the number of non-tech companies visiting DTU is more than the total number of companies visiting any IP college. However, both branches offer good exposure in their respective fields.
  • Evaluate your interests: If you are inclined towards a particular branch, then it would be better to pursue that branch as it will help you maintain interest and focus on your studies.

In conclusion, both branches have their advantages, and the choice ultimately depends on your personal preferences and career goals. While DTU provides excellent exposure, CSE may be a better option if you plan to pursue an MS abroad.

How is DTU for ECE?

Atrisa Dutta Posted On : August 14th, 2020

The ECE branch at DTU is very competent. It has a pool of talented, intelligent, and hardworking students. The reason being that the cutoffs for ECE usually are high. DTU ECE students get placed every year in MNCs like Qualcomm, SanDisk, TI, Samsung, and other such reputed firms that hire electronics engineers. A good percentage of the students also pursue an MS from renowned universities across the globe. Students also prepare for competitive exams like CAT, GATE, UPSE CSE, and even succeed in them.

The faculty here is very knowledgeable and teaches lucidly. They are also very lenient in their evaluation.

The curriculum is entirely focused on hardware, communication, computer architecture, advanced integrated circuits, signals and systems, superior probability, networking, and control systems. This is just a broad classification, the actual curriculum is vast, and students can find a lot of interesting sub-fields in electronics. The only drawback of the curriculum is that it does not offer any CSE electives. Assignments are scarce and can be efficiently dealt with as the solutions are readily available from various sources.

The workload is at the bare minimum level. The exams require just a couple of weeks of diligent studying. For the rest of the semester, one is free to explore his/her skills, hobbies, and interests.

75% and above GPA is straightforward to achieve and maintain. Pushing a bit more during the exam period can fetch even 80% and above. This all makes the college life here very exciting and rewarding. To sum up, ECE at DTU is a good option that can be exercised if one compares among the top NITs.
