Which is better for computer science - Thapar or NIT Delhi?

AB
Aditi Banerjee Posted On : October 11th, 2023
Lives in Bangalore

I have friends in other Thapar and NIT Delhi so I am the right person to answer your question. Based on their experiences, these are the key points of differences I derived

  • NIT Delhi has a better location because it is in Delhi. 
  • Thapar has a better faculty pool and lab facilities than both NIT Delhi and NSIT.
  • Thapar also has an active research culture so if you are a research enthusiast, Thapar is a better option for you. 
  • In terms of tag and brand name, NIT Delhi has the upper hand. Thapar University also has a good reputation but mainly in North India. 
  • NIT Delhi charges much less fees than DTU and NSIT so it’s the clear winner in this aspect.
  • Infrastructure-wise, Thapar University tends to serve better.

Overall, it's a matter of preferences!

My cousin is a student at NIT Delhi currently and claims it to be the best NIT in North India. It provides an excellent platform for research-oriented study and top-notch academics.

The first-year students of all branches are taught the same subjects. From the 3rd year, students have labs for every theory subject. There are approximately 60–70 hour classes of core subjects and 30 hours lab in the same subject. Students are also required to make projects for every lab for which they are even graded. There are around 7-8 subjects in every semester comprising 5 core subjects and remaining computer science, humanities, and applied science subjects. The curriculum is therefore very rigorous and you will have to work extra hard for this branch. 

The branch records great placements every year and students are also offered internships from good companies. An added advantage of studying at NIT Delhi is the close proximity to coaching centers in Delhi.

However, NIT Delhi lacks in terms of cultural activities so if you want to experience a dynamic and fun-filled campus life, you might want to reconsider your decision.

How is the placement for electrical & electronics engineering at NIT Delhi?

AB
Akriti Banerjee Posted On : October 11th, 2023
lives in New Delhi

Nowadays, PSUs have started considering GATE ranks, internal exams, and interviews, so the chances of getting placed in the core sector through campus placements are very meager. Only a handful of core companies such as Tata Power, L&T, GE Healthcare, etc. come for recruitment. 

If you are planning to get into the Power Sector, you will have to prepare for the competitive exams. But if your goal is to just get placed even if it’s an IT company, then as long as you have a decent GPA and basic coding skills, you are likely to grab a good offer. That being said, one must consider bigger criteria when choosing college rather than just placements. In 2021 NIT Delhi EEE average package was recorded at INR 8.1 LPA.

So, you don’t have to worry about placements at all as long as you are committed to hard work

Which is better, CSE at NIT Delhi or IIIT Lucknow?

Sapna Malik updated Posted On : October 11th, 2023

Without any second thoughts, IIIT Lucknow is a fairly better choice than NIT Delhi in terms of infrastructure, coding culture, and placements. Let us consider these criteria individually.

  • Infrastructure: NIT Delhi is quite far from the hostels so the commute time is high whereas IIIT Lucknow campus and hostels are in close proximity to each other. It hardly takes 5 minutes to reach the campus from your hostel room. Thus saves time. 
  • Coding Culture: IIIT Lucknow has a more extensive coding culture than NIT Delhi. Recently, a team of students from IIIT Lucknow secured 9th position in ACM ICPC regionals. The performance of the recent batches is also testimony to the excellent coding culture.
  • Placements: IIIT Lucknow is definitely better in this aspect too given that last year its higher package stood at INR 59 LPA. 

Overall, IIIT Lucknow is easily the better choice than NIT Delhi considering all major aspects.

You need to consider several factors before deciding the best college for yourself. Here are a few factors and the preferred choice if you give preference to that factor alone

  1. Alumni : The age of the institute determines how strong the alumni network is which is very crucial for the development of the institute. In terms of the alumni network the preference order should be NIT Jaipur=NIT Kurukshetra> NIT Delhi
  2. Placements: The placement scenario is somewhat similar in all the aforementioned institutes. However, NIT Delhi has a slight advantage being in Delhi. The order should be NIT Delhi > NIT Jaipur = NIT Kurukshetra

  4. Campus : NIT Kurukshetra and NIT Jaipur have equally beautiful campuses whereas the permanent campus of NIT Delhi is under construction.

Ultimately, the final decision depends on your personal preferences.

Which is better IIIT Kota, NIT Delhi, or LNMIIT Jaipur?

KS
Kusum Sharma Posted On : March 23rd, 2021
Bachelor of Technology in Electronics and Communication Engineering, LNMIIT Jaipur

Both IIIT Kota and NIT Delhi are government colleges and come with a fancy tag of IIIT and NIT. But LNMIIT is better than the above two. Here are the reasons why.

  • Academics and Cultural Fests at LNMIIT are much better than those of IIIT Kota and NIT Delhi.
  • LNMIIT is well established as it was established much before IIIT Kota and NIT Delhi. Due to the above point, it has a vast alumni network.
  • The academic and Coding environment at LNMIIT is much better than IIIT Kota and NIT Delhi and hence it provides ample opportunities for its students to grow.
  • Not just is Coding, LNMIIT provides many opportunities in other fields too.
  • There are many societies and clubs like tech clubs, sports clubs, etc which provides everyone with a fair chance to grow and get involved in things he likes.

Finally, if you are a learning enthusiast and are keen to explore new things, you won't regret joining this college. My friend was torn between choices a few years back, and after much consideration he chooses LNMIIT. Based on his experience, I can say it was the right decision.

How is the CSE at NIT Delhi compared to NIT Raipur's?

AB
Akriti Banerjee Posted On : August 2nd, 2023
lives in New Delhi

I would recommend you go for CSE from better NITs or other institutes like PEC, IIIT, YMCA, and others. Even IIIT Delhi is a decent option if you are considering staying in Delhi only. The reason I am against NIT Delhi so strongly is because it’s new and its CSE course is yet to develop and reach a certain standard. It does have its own campus and the facilities are also very limited here.

  • There are serious connectivity issues as the hostel buildings are very far from the main campus. The accommodation facilities are poor and not at par with NIT standards. 
  • Being newly established it has a very poor placement scenario not comparable to the old NITs or other institutions like PEC Chandigarh, IIITs, etc.
  • NIT Delhi does not have an active coding culture. The timetable is very rigid and the classes are conducted consequently without many breaks.
  • The faculty is also underqualified and has only a few good professors. 

Ultimately, I will suggest that if you are seriously inclined towards CS, and are ready to explore endless opportunities in the same,  then consider joining some other NIT than Raipur or Delhi. Go for IIIT Delhi instead!
