Which is better out of DTU, NSIT, VIT Vellore, BITS (any campus), NIT (top 3) and IIIT (Hyderabad and Delhi), placement-wise and education-wise?

AB

On the basis of placements, I would rank the aforementioned institutes in the following order

Bits Pilani, Pilani Campus>|IT H>Bits Goa>Bits Hyderabad>Top 3 Nits>|IT Delhi/NSUT>DTU

BITS Pilani has a better placement scenario than IIIT Hyderabad although its average package is less than IIIT Hyderabad, this is because BITS has a number of branches and the average package is calculated after considering the packages of all branches whereas IIIT Hyderabad has only two branches ie CS and ECE. Both these branches are top branches so automatically its average package becomes higher than BITS Pilani. If you compare the placements of the CS branch alone, BITS Pilani will have the upper hand. However, if you want to pursue a career in research in CS, ten choosing IIIT Hyderabad will offer better opportunities. Basically, IIIT Hyderabad will make you a better coder whereas BITS Pilani will make you a better engineer.

It's important to note that the above ranking is based on placements alone and if you consider the research culture, then NITs will fare better than BITS mainly because they are government institutes and receive huge funds solely for the purpose of research.

Which is better NIT or DTU?

TA
Tithi Aggrawal Posted On : July 5th, 2023
Lives in New Delhi

I will say that DTU is better than NIT unless you are getting NIT Trichy. It’s the superior location of DTU in the capital and it’s an excellent infrastructure that makes it a better choice than most NITs. I am not saying NITs have poor infrastructure but they cannot be compared to DTU.

DTU has given birth to many legends, one such being Paytm founder Vijay Shekhar Sharma. 

The average package lies in the range of INR 5–20 LPA. The faculty pool is also great here as most of the professors are PhD holders. DTU also has a great research culture. DTU also has excellent research facilities and a great peer pool. Here are some important points to consider

  • Engifest, the official cultural fest of DTU is the second-largest college fest in North India.
  • Great infrastructure in the form of a lush green campus and an open-air theater.
  • DTU average package is INR 15.16 LPA and the DTU highest package recorded this year was INR 64.23 LPA.
  • The peer pool quality is great as you will be interacting with the best minds in the country.

So, we can conclude that DTU is a better option and also offers a better college life experience than NIT.

How is CSE at DTU?

RT
Raktim Tarafdar Posted On : July 4th, 2023

The CSE branch at DTU is highly regarded for its curriculum and placements. Here is what you should consider

  • Placements: Students who are proficient in Data Structures, Algorithms, and CS subjects receive plenty of opportunities. IT giants like Google, and Cure.Fit, Sprinklr, etc visit the campus both for internships and placements. Although the chances of CS students getting placed are high, DTU still hasn’t been able to achieve the 100% placement mark. 
  • Campus and hostel facilities: DTU does not have very good accommodation facilities and Delhi residents are not even offered hostels. You can find a PG nearby but that won’t give you the hostel life experience offered by other colleges. 
  • Course Subjects and Faculty: Unlike IITs, not all professors are highly qualified and learned. Some deliver lectures just for the sake of it. However, the relative basis marking here makes things easier so you can maintain a decent CGPA throughout.
  • Computer Science Management: Like any other government institute the administration here is lethargic and matters are processed at a slow pace. 

Ultimately, DTU should be your choice only if your goal is to get placed after enjoying good college life. But if you are a research enthusiast and want to pursue MS or Ph.D. in the future, then consider joining IIITD or NSUT instead.

Why is DTU ranked so low in the NIRF?

TA
Tithi Aggrawal Posted On : July 4th, 2023
Lives in New Delhi

DTU, earlier known as DCE, has a rather obsolete curriculum and pedagogy. Despite that, it invites more than 450 recruiters every year. These companies are well aware of the excellent coding culture at DTU showcased through the student's online presence on top sites like HackerRank/HackerEarth/Codechef. So if you are a coding lover, DTU has opportunities at par with top institutes like IIITH, IITB, and BITS Pilani.

However, rankings are done on various aspects including GO. Considering all the branches of DTU, it rightly deserves to be among the top ten due to its location. 

But NIRF ranks it poorly as it considers a variety of parameters like:

  • TLR, Teaching, Learning, and Resources: DTU has very few approachable faculties thereby bringing down the ratings
  • RPP, Research and Professional Practice: Recently, DTU has received funding so it’s slowly improving its research culture which earlier was non-existent.
  • GO, Graduation Outcomes: DTU has a good graduation outcome almost comparable to IIT Bombay.
  • OI, Outreach, and Inclusivity: This brought down the rankings miserably. 

So we can conclude that NIRF rankings are based on useless criteria and shouldn’t be considered to evaluate colleges worth and credibility.

Can one upgrade from one branch to another in DTU by scoring a good CGPA in first year?

AB
Akriti Banerjee Posted On : July 6th, 2023
lives in New Delhi

DTU has a unique branch change policy wherein your chances of branch change depend on your JEE Rank and not your CGPA. Earlier, DTU had no branch change policy, but this has been added recently to give relaxation to its students.

However, the catch is it is almost impossible to get branch change through JEE Rank and only the lucky ones can get their branch changed here.

Should I change to a Delhi School for DTU or NSIT?

AB
Akriti Banerjee Posted On : July 4th, 2023
lives in New Delhi

Yes, you should certainly consider changing to a Delhi School for DTU or NSIT. Like every state Delhi too has institutions where there is a reservation for Delhites. DTU and NSIT are among the top engineering colleges and the fact that both of them are situated in Delhi gives immense opportunities to the residents. 

Both DTU and NEIT are under the purview of the Government of National Capital Territory(NCT) of Delhi so they have an 85% reservation for students who do their schooling from Delhi.

So if you are a Delhite you have to compete with 85% of the batch which is easier than competing against 15% seats for remaining states. Here, you can get CS even with an average rank if you are a Delhite but it may be impossible if you are from another state. So yes, shift to Delhi and avail a plethora of opportunities!

What is Placement Percentage in DTU?

AB
Akriti Banerjee Posted On : August 5th, 2023
lives in New Delhi

DTU offers decent placement support to its students. If you are able to maintain a good CGPA over the semesters and have skills in your core subject, then you will easily get placed in companies with packages of 8-10 lakhs per annum. In case you are unsatisfied with the packages, you can also opt for off-campus interviews

Which ranks higher: NSIT, DTU, or an NIT?

TA
Tithi Aggrawal Posted On : July 4th, 2023
Lives in New Delhi

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.

IIITD, DTU and NSIT (NSUT) reserve 85% seats for the students who passed their 12th or equivalent from Delhi. All the NITs also offer reservation to students from their own states. Here are the 2023 JEE Mains closing ranks for CSE/COE at various colleges (for SC category)-

College/ University

Quota

Closing Rank (last round)

NSIT (NSUT)

All India

49910

DTU

All India

37183

NITW

OS

484

NIT Rourkela

OS

549

IIIT Delhi

OS

62163

These are the closing ranks assuming you are not from the Home State. There are separate ranks for female-reserved seats as well. Apart from COE, NSUT also offers a B.Tech CSE in AI, Data Science and Big Data Analytics.

Thus, you will have to study hard and score well to secure a seat at these top colleges for your B.Tech CSE.
