One of my friends is presently studying at NIT Kurukshetra, and he has a good idea about NIT Delhi. But he does not tell me more about NIT Jamshedpur, as he has limited knowledge about this institute.
The following table shows a brief overview of these three institutes:
Criteria |

The above table shows that NIT Kurukshetra(KKR) > NIT Jamshedpur> NIT Delhi.
Besides, NIT Delhi is a newly opened institute with a temporary college campus. Someone mentioned that the students have to travel approximately 2 hours from their hostel room to the college rooms in NIT Delhi, which is quite tiresome. The Alumni Network is completely lagging as it is a new institute.
Additionally, NIT Jamshedpur provides good placement in comparison to NIT Kurukshetra. It is the only thing that supports the rankings of an institute, respecting other colleges. Another important thing is that if you are from Eastern Part, then opt for NIT Jamshedpur.
Here are some details regarding B.Tech admissions through defense HS quota-
Admissions through defense quota depend on your priority category:

I have mentioned the cutoff for NSUT. You may check the cutoffs for DTU, IIIT Delhi, and NIT Delhi in a similar manner.
NIT Delhi is definitely not the worst NIT given its excellent planet scenario. However, it's true that NIT Delhi hasn't reached the level of other NITs, and it's because it's in its infancy stage. It still has many obstacles to overcome which it certainly is doing gradually.
The reason NIT Delhi is ranked poorly is that the major criteria considered by these ranking bodies are faculties research work, placement, campus, and infrastructure and sadly NIT Delhi lacks in all these aspects. It has no permanent campus and the infrastructure is also pathetic. The institute attracts less quality professors and has a low permanent-teacher ratio. All these factors combined affect the ranking of the institute.
One of my cousins is an ECE student at NIT Delhi. She loved the fact that the batch size was small and every student received individual attention from the faculty. Some of the labs are not well-equipped but you can find almost every faculty there. The opportunities offered to NIT Delhi students are more than their counterparts because of the small batch size.
My cousins made many new friends in 4 years. Alarmist everyone from her batch got placed in good companies and no one regretted joining NIT Delhi. Last year, the average package for ECE was around INR 15 LPA. Some students even had 2 offers by the end of the placement drive. Even the labs and hostel facilities have been improved ever since it started operating from the new campus.
Overall ECE at NIT Delhi is definitely worth it!
No, it’s not wise to choose NIT Delhi over prestigious Delhi colleges like NSIT, DTU, and IIIT Delhi. Your first preference should be NSIT or DTU followed by IIIT Delhi. So, NIT Delhi should be your last preference among these colleges.
NSIT/DTU are well-established institutes while NIT Delhi and IIITD are still in their infancy stage. However, because of their central location, all these 4 colleges have a decent placement scenario. Most IT companies from Gurugram, Noida, and Delhi visit all of these campuses. NT Delhi operates from a temporary campus N.I.L.E.R.D. located in a remote place, Narela. Most faculty lack experience and won’t be of much help in projects.
The hostel and classroom facilities however are pretty good and a 24/7 Internet facility is provided to the students. The college is remotely located so it will be difficult to find eateries serving decent quality food. Being new, the campus has an active club culture and lab facilities.
Overall, I feel NIT Delhi fails to offer the exposure and opportunities that other Delhi engineering colleges offer so should be your last choice.
NIT Delhi CSE is highly regarded among engineering aspirants mainly because its curriculum has been updated recently to meet industry standards. They are always way ahead of their counterparts in other colleges. The best part is that their rigorous academics do not affect their extracurricular activities.
The faculty of the CSE branch is very lenient and approachable. CSE labs are equipped with the essential software. The placement scenario is great and almost everybody ends with more than one offer. Many huge firms like BookMyShow, Smartprix, Samsung, and Deloitte offer great packages to CSE students.
So, NIT Delhi CSE is a great choice for you!
Both institutes are well known for their excellent education and opportunities offered. So you can choose the branch and college on the basis of your own preferences. However, some points you might want or consider
Campus: NIT Delhi operates from a temporary campus which is located far away from the country and its permanent campus is still under construction. IIT Delhi on the other hand is a fully-fledged established Institute with a fully functioning well facilitated campus.
Placements: Although Textile Engineering has very few core job opportunities, people tend to go for non-core jobs instead to secure a high-paying job at a top company. Meanwhile, NIT Delhi being younger than IIT Delhi has fewer companies visiting campus with CS roles despite being a demanded branch.
If you are actually keen to pursue CSE, go for better Engineering colleges like NITs, DTU, NSIT, and IIIT D. In fact even at IIT Delhi, you can pursue your coding passion alongside your main branch textile and sit for IT placements. The final decision is yours to make and you can consider additional aspects like fees, location, and academics while making your decision.
I will advise you not to compare colleges solely on the basis of rankings and placements because these are too trivial criteria to be considered while choosing your college. One must look at the bigger picture. NIT Delhi, despite being a new institute, has already laid its strong foundation and you can expect excellent placements in the near future.
Here are a few highlights of the institute:
Overall, NIT Delhi offers good quality education and a NIT tag that will up your game in higher education.
There are 2 factors involved here. First is the branch and the second is the institute. Speaking course wise ECE and EEE are somewhat similar and offer good career opportunities. You can choose either according to your interest.
NIT Delhi is 2 years younger than BITS Hyderabad campus and 6 years younger than BITS Goa campus. The older the institute offers better opportunities and better known.
So BITS has an edge over NIT Delhi in providing the best opportunities when the institute factor is taken. BITS also has much more recruiters than NIT Delhi. According to the recent placement highlights the average CTC offered at BITS Goa and BITS Hyderabad is around 5 LPA.
NIT Delhi is a much better option than NIT Bhopal because:
Overall, if you are looking for a college to experience vibrant and lively campus life and also enjoy the city life, then choose NIT Delhi but if your focus is on studying and pursuing higher studies and want a serene and calm ambiance then go for NIT Bhopal.
