Which ranks higher: NSIT, DTU, or an NIT?
It’s hard to determine the worth and credibility of these institutes just by looking at official rankings. So I will be taking into consideration some criteria
- Placements: The placement scenario and opportunities offered at all these institutes are equally good as similar companies visit for placements. Companies like Google and Facebook conduct an open test like APAC so students of all institutes get equal opportunities.
- Campus life: In terms of the campus and city life offered, my preference order would be DTU = NSIT > NIT. Being in Delhi, NSIT and DTU offer better opportunities and exposure. Delhi has it all, major corporate headquarters, the media, and top colleges like IIT-D and DU to compete with.
- Student pool: The peer group has a massive effect on you and helps you in determining your interests and activities and grooming your personality. The ranking of colleges depends solely on the type of crowd you are looking for. If you are from south India, you would prefer to join NIT- Trichy. So this aspect cannot be generalized at all.
- Campus: A dynamic college life is very important to break from occasional strenuous situations. In that aspect, NIT offers the best campus life followed by DTU and NSIT.
- Faculty: The faculty pool is better at NIT than at NSIT and DTU. NIT is a central government institute and has a better recruitment process so filtration is better.
- Alumni: Alumni network plays a big role in your institute’s reputation in the corporate sector and can help you financially with your startup idea. That being said, DTU and NIT Trichy have the best alumni network followed by other NITs and NSITs.
It’s best to go for the college that is best suitable for you alone and not just because it has good rankings.
Why is VIT Vellore placed above than IIT BHU and Dhanbad in the MHRD rankings?
MHRD takes into account a few parameters while ranking institutes. In the MHRD ranking, VIT Vellore outranked IIT BHU due to more research papers in Scopus-indexed journals.
Most of the faculty members in VIT Vellore have their Ph.D. degrees. The majority of the professors are actively engaged in research and publish research articles regularly in reputed journals.
What is the ranking of DTU in India?
DTU is a government institute under the NCT Delhi. The institute has a wide range of branches like Production, Mechanical, Biotech, Civil Engineering, Environmental Engineering, etc. These branches aren’t available in tier-2 colleges like NSIT and IIIT Delhi. The core branches have poor placement statistics which makes the NSIT and IIIT Delhi placements look better.
Most students don't set placements as their goals after BTech these days but prefer appearing for competitive exams like CAT, GRE, GMAT, UPSC Exams, SSC Exams, GATE, etc. That being said, Delhi is the supreme location that offers excellent opportunities for coaching and preparations for these exams apart from great placements and campus life.
Here are some official rankings of DTU
- India Today: DTU BTech was ranked 8 out of 35 colleges in India in 2023.
- NIRF: DTU Overall ranking by NIRF is 40 out of 200 colleges in India in 2023
- IIRF: DTU Design ranking by IIRF is 11 out of 30 colleges in India in 2023
- The Times of India: DTU B.Tech ranking by The Times Of India is 1 out of 200 colleges in India in 2022
Overall, DTU is a great option considering its ranking, location and the opportunities available.
Why is PEC losing its good ranking? Is it true that NIT Jalandhar will cross it within a few years?
PEC's previous director wasn’t a very good educationist. The infrastructure, curriculum and the extracurriculars suffered under his leadership.
But things have changed in PEC now. The new director has the opposite ideals. There has been a gradual increase in the quality of education at PEC. Some changes are:
-
Infrastructure is being improved
-
The curriculum has been made more challenging
-
PEC Fest stole the show for the year
So the long standing reputation combined with the strong alumni network will not disappoint you. PEC is not losing its good ranking and NIT Jalandhar is nowhere near it.
In what order would you rank MAMC, KGMU, AFMC, IMS-BHU, CMC & Grant Medical College?
I will try to answer your query and provide some additional information.
After the top most colleges- AIIMS, PGI, JIPMER, NIMHANS and SGPGI, these are the colleges you should try for- Medical colleges in Delhi are the best choice. Out of these, MAMC is the most desirable. It is followed by VMMC, LHMC and UCMS. Then come the medical colleges in Mumbai. KEM is a top medical college, followed by Sion and Grant. Colleges of Kerala and Madras are at par with one another. But Madras Medical College is the best among these. AFMC and CMC Vellore are great for patients, but not so much for the students.
Thus, MAMC is a great choice. I do not possess much knowledge of KGMU and IMS BHU, so I haven’t talked about them.
Can someone give me a priority order for these MBBS colleges Seth Gs , Grant, KGMU, BHU, CMC Vellore, AIIMS (except Delhi)?
Every college is good in one or the other aspects. Its location, faculty, and infrastructure are the main factors that determine a college's priority. The following list contains the colleges in order of priority based on their pros and cons.

-
Seth GS: Located in Mumbai with the best academic structure
-
KGMU Lucknow: The location and academic structure are perfect.
-

Cons:

-
CMC Vellore: You will have to learn Tamil as it is located South India. The fee structure is pretty expensive.
-
Other AIIMS: They are usually not located in a good location except for Bhopal and Bhubaneswar.
The preferred order as per the pros and cons can be - BHU> AIIMS> KGMU> Grant> Seth GS> CMC Vellore
One college can be good for you but bad for others. This is because your own needs determine which college is best for you. So choose wisely.

Are least ranked NITs like Agartala, Srinagar, etc. good? Or should one prefer colleges like VIT/SRM/Manipal?
I graduated from VIT Vellore in 2023, with a B.Tech degree in ECE branch.
You’ll probably come across people who’ll tell you that low ranking NITs like NIT Agartala, Srinagar, etc. still carry the ‘NIT’ tag, and thus, they have a higher brand value compared to VIT Vellore. However, that is not the case.
My sister is currently studying at NIT Agartala, and according to her, VIT Vellore has a much higher industry reputation and a bigger brand name in comparison to lower ranking NITs.
I have personally come across NITians who were unplaced after graduation. But as far as VIT Vellore is concerned, it delivers a high placement record each year. Many of the NITs suffer from poor infrastructure and shortage of facilities because of lack of funding and bad administration. As a private institution, VIT Vellore does not suffer in these areas.
These are some reasons why I chose VIT Vellore for my B.Tech despite getting lower ranking NITs after 12th. If you are happy with the location, and you get your desired branch at VIT Vellore, I would recommend you to join this institution.
Which is better, guide by ranking these IITs: IIT Gandhinagar, IIT Ropar, IIT Patna, or IIT Jodhpur?
Evaluating and choosing colleges based on NIRF rankings is purely illogical as the criteria these ranking bodies consider are unrelated to your degree. Rather, you should consider the facilities provided by the institute and your personal preferences. That being said, IIT Jodhpur is a great choice among the aforementioned institutes.
- Placements: IIT Jodhpur placement scenario is like no other new IIT even giving an edge to the old IITs. IIT Jodhpur's average package is INR 17 LPA and the highest is INR 40 LPA.
- Infrastructure: IIT Jodhpur has a well-developed and modern infrastructure among all IITs. In fact, its campus design won the award for best campus design and is one of the biggest campuses among all IITs spreading across more than 800 acres.
- Facilities: The institute boasts well-equipped labs and departments. IIT Patna has the fastest commercially available AI solution in the world, the DGX-2.
- Batch size: The small batch size ensures more resources per student. The resources you cannot use at other IITs during your UG years can be easily accessed here. At IIT Patna students working on projects in AI and ML access the computers to conduct research.
- New branches: IIT Patna likes to keep up with the industry trends and has launched new branches like AI and Data Science, Materials Engineering, Chemical Engineering, and Civil Engineering.
- Hostel: The hostel facilities are no less and to get single AC rooms and decent food in the mess.
- Campus life: IIT Patna organizes the biggest cultural fest in the North-Western part of India called Ignus which invites big stars.
