I am confused amongst IIIT Delhi, NSIT, and DTU for CSE. What are some suggestions?
All three colleges namely, IIIT Delhi, NSIT, and DTU are excellent options for CSE. However, you might want to consider the following points before making the final decision
- Campus life: In terms of campus life, the DTU is the best option followed by NSUT and IIIT Delhi. DTU offers a very laid-back cap pledge life experience with a minimal workload and a lot of time to pursue your hobbies. There aren’t many restrictions on attendance also.
- Curriculum: IIIT Delhi is a clear winner in terms of curriculum as it has no extra subjects in the first year. Students are taught coding languages and related assignments from day one and thus prepare students better than their counterparts.
- Research: IIIT Delhi is a research-oriented institute and has better research facilities, labs, and resources. DTU and NSUT have a similar research culture.
- Infrastructure: IIIT Delhi is a newly established college so has modern infrastructure, although the campus is small. DTU and NSUT have larger campuses and better sports facilities.
- Fees: IIIT Delhi charges extremely high fees around INR 4.62 Lakhs (1st Year Fees) which is almost double the fees charged by DTU INR 2.19 Lakhs (1st Year Fees)
So choose wisely based on your priorities!
Is NIT Delhi going to become as good as DTU and NSIT (or even better) in the future in terms of placements, faculty, and campus life?
NIT Delhi was established in 2010 and is still struggling to make its mark in the education world. As for your question, if NIT Delhi will reach the level of DTU and NSIT soon, I feel that it certainly will. The following points support my stance further
- Every year, NIT Delhi has at least one student who gets ranked under 100 in GATE
- A student of NIT Delhi has gone for GSOC more than one time and is now a CERN(European Organisation for Nuclear Research)Geneva.
- NIT DELHI has highly qualified teachers and one of them worked in NASA, ISRO, and Japanese space organizations and then finally became a professor at NIT Delhi.
- NIT Delhi's first convocation ceremony’s Guest of Honor was Shri Pranab Mukherjee.
- The students here actively participate in research work and the Director itself has published 300 research papers in International/National journals.
- One of NIT Delhi's alumni has the honor of joining IIM Indore.
- NIT Delhi placement 2021 recorded an 88% placement percentage and top companies like Adobe, Amadeus, Avalara, and Code Nation visited the campus.
- NIT Delhi has the second fastest internet in India.
NIT Delhi may be lacking in terms of campus and alumni but it’s nothing that cannot be improved in the years to come!
Is NSIT suitable for M.Tech?
NSUT is a well-regarded institute in the field of engineering education but is yet to make its mark in the field. There are many other better engineering colleges out there that should be given preference over NSUT.
NSUT offers an MTech program in the following specializations
- Vlsi Design & Embedded System
- Cad/ Cam|Bioinformatics
- Signal Processing
- Industrial Electronics
- Computer Science And Engineering
- Electrical Engineering|Mechanical Engineering
Here are a few additional highlights of the program that will help you make a more informed decision

What are the girl's hostel conditions at nsit?
You can put all your worries to rest regarding the hostel conditions at NSUT if you are a girl and be prepared for the best experience of your life.
The hostels have all kinds of rooms, single, double, and triple occupancy rooms. The triple occupancy rooms do not mean one room with three beds but three separate rooms for 3 girls that are interconnected. Every set of rooms has its own washroom.
Additionally, the girls' hostel is air-conditioned and isn’t overcrowded at all. Students of all branches stay together so you get a diverse experience.
The hostel and mess rules are more flexible for the girls' hostel than the boys' hostel. So come here to spend the best years of your life!
Which one should I choose, NSIT CSE or NIT Surathkal IT branch or MNNIT Allahabad CSE knowing that I stay in Delhi?
NSIT CSE is the better choice than NIT Surathkal IT and MNNIT Allahabad CSE. This is because it's located in the capital city which is a hub of budding startups and companies. Delhi also has excellent coaching institutes for preparation for CAT, coding, and GATE. The institute, therefore, offers better opportunities for development and learning. Additionally, the capital city has many places to explore so you can have a fun off-campus life too.
NIT Surathkal on the other hand is away from the hustle and bustle of the metro city so if you prefer a peaceful college experience then choose NIT Surathkal.
So, if you want to stay in the capital and experience a dynamic life, choose IIIT Delhi or NSIT else go for NIT Surathkal.

How do I prepare for non-tech companies coming for placements in NSIT?
Here are some important tips that you can follow to get placed in a good non-tech company during the NSUT Delhi placements-
- Good companies start visiting the campus in the last week of July. So don’t procrastinate on making your resume. Every company seeks qualities in a resume. Like, Finance companies focus on your academics and any related course, while Consulting companies appreciate case studies/MUNs in your resume. Keep an updated resume. In case you are short on material, mention any prizes, competitions, or olympiads. Do mention some social work you did as that will add ‘stars’ to your resume.
- The first round comprises MCQs to test your logical reasoning and quantitative aptitude. Companies like Axtria also test your verbal ability (grammar and critical reasoning specifically), and a bit of coding knowledge. Practice these questions from a CAT preparation book/ modules from a good MBA coaching institute. Choose a book according to your comfort- from basic to advanced. Practice a few sets of verbal and logical reasoning questions daily. You can learn coding basics from ‘Test your C skills’ and ‘Let us C’. Data Analytics companies like Axtria also ask a little about DBMS, SQL, and OOPS concepts. Study them from C++ by Sumita Arora class 12th or online.
- Consulting companies then focus on how you deal with cases and guess estimates. Read/Practice these from ‘Case in Point’, ‘Ace the Case’
and ‘Wharton guide’. For puzzles and brainteasers, read the book ‘Acing the Brainteaser Interview’. Indiabix is a good source for puzzles, quantitative and logical aptitude.
- Practice common HR interview questions.
- Research well about your target company, and listen carefully during the company’s presentation, and ask smart questions during the company’s
presentation or interview.
Try to remain calm and composed. You will get selected by a good company during the NSUT Delhi placements. But if things don’t go as planned, remember that everything gets better eventually.
Which one is better: DTU, NSIT or IIIT Delhi?
All the colleges you mentioned; NSIT, DTU, and IIIT Delhi are run by the NCT government and have similar opportunities and brand value. The choice of the institute here depends more on personal factors than the institute itself.
NSIT:
- NSIT is located in Dwarka.
- It functions under DU and offers a 4-year course for a bachelor of engineering.
- NSIT is an excellent choice for those who want to get IT-related branches like CSE, IT, and ECE.
- Most departments are at par with DTU departments
DTU:
- DTU is a highly regarded technical institute offering superior quality BTech courses
- This institute is well-known for core branches like CIVIL, Mechanical, and Electrical Engineering.
- The most reputed branch of DTU is Mechanical Engineering, often compared to IIT Delhi Mechanical Engineering.
IIIT Delhi:
- IIIT Delhi is the perfect destination for programming lovers
- The CSE curriculum of IIIT Delhi is way better than that of DTU and NSIT.
So, it precisely depends on the kind of branch you want to get if it’s all about programming go for IIIT Delhi, if it’s CSE, IT, or ECE go for NSIT but if it’s core branches like Mechanical, Electrical, or civil engineering DTU is the best option.
I am too confused between CSE at DTU/NSIT and IIT Jodhpur. What should I do?
I can never stop emphasizing this, no matter how many options you have always go for the one that gives you the IIT tag.
I am not saying Engineering colleges like NSIT and DTU aren’t good but they are in the developing phase while IIT Jodhpur is in its developing phase. This means it will only get better. Despite being a new IIT, its average package this year was recorded at INR 21.30 LPA, which is a great feat for a new college.
Additionally, IITs receive more funding from the government to provide better research and project opportunities. Specifically speaking about CSE, this year the highest INR 56 LPA was bagged by BTech CSE. The placement percentage stood at 97% while the average package for CSE was recorded at INR 23 LPA.
DTU and NSIT may have higher placement statistics but they lack what IIT Jodhpur offers, the most coveted IIT tag! So choose wisely.
Is there an MBA at NSIT?
Yes, NSIT Delhi (now NSUT) started its MBA program in 2019 and its first batch graduated in 2021. This is good news for all the CAT aspirants.
NSUT is known for its Engineering courses. Though the MBA program is new, you will have access to endless resources. NSIT has a strong alumni network with majority of alumni working in top corporates around the world. Therefore, it will be worth spending two years at NSIT (NSUT). You will get a great learning environment and experienced faculty.
Thus, you can definitely consider NSUT Delhi for a decent MBA experience with the tag of a prestigious university.
