With a rank of 500, you can get any branch at IIT Delhi. You can simply target Electrical or CSE unless you incline a specific field. Another good option is Mathematics and Computing.

The table below comprises the branches you can opt for and their respective ranks

Apart from Electrical and CSE, you can get into most branches easily.

My friend recently gave his interview for the MTech program at IIT Delhi and he told me that only 2 questions were asked him.

• What is a tree? - To this, my friend gave a general answer that did not satisfy them, after which they asked him to state an additional property of the tree. Right after this, they tricked him by asking him to prove the 2nd property based on the first. Although he tried, he was unable to give the final solution.
• Next, they chose a number between 0 to infinity and asked him to guess their number exactly using the minimum number of queries. My friend could answer this one better than the first one although the panelists weren’t completely satisfied with this one too.

His interview lasted the longest although he was asked only 2 questions. Some conclusions drawn from his experience and tips to follow to prepare for the same are

• Study the proofs from Discrete Math and Data Structure and Algorithms. 
• Be well-versed with all major definitions and prepare some good examples to support your definition. 
• Explain the questions asked in detail and not in short

Hope you got an idea of the type of questions asked in the MTech CSE interview.

I am a Civil Engineering student at IIT Delhi. 

Even though CoE/ CSE/ IT are much more sought after by students in the present times, I would choose Civil at IIT Delhi over CoE at NSUT. 

Here are the reasons for the same:

• The faculty at IIT Delhi is much more experienced and learned than that at NSUT.
• IIT Delhi was established in 1961, while NSUT in 1983. Because of this, IIT Delhi has a stronger alumni network.
• IIT Delhi is a globally recognized brand, while NSUT is usually only known to students of North India. The “IIT” brand is immensely helpful when applying to foreign universities for higher studies. 
• Although civil freshers are rarely in demand, a civil engineer with enough work experience, the right set of skills, and great project accomplishments is paid a high salary.

These are the 2023 placement figures for both these institutions:

Unfortunately, the branch-wise placement detail is not available for both these institutes.   

However, based on the various reasons listed above, I would recommend you choose IIT Delhi Civil Engineering over NSUT CoE.

I am a B.Tech Chemical Engineering student at IIT Delhi. According to me, these are the main factors you should consider while making up your mind:

• Demand: CSE is more in-demand than chemical engineering.
• Brand: The “IIT” tag holds more brand value than the “BITS” tag. The “IIT” tag will be more advantageous if you want to apply to foreign universities for higher education later on.
• Fees: IIT Delhi is an affordable choice, whereas, BITS Pilani has high fees for its engineering programs. Additionally, IIT Delhi has better placements, which places it at a better position in terms of ROI.

Here is a comparison between IIT Delhi Chemical and BITS Pilani CSE:

*This is the fee-structure for General/OBC students with family income>5 LPA. 

Even though CSE is a highly sought after branch in the current market, I would suggest you opt for Chemical Engineering at IIT Delhi. IIT Delhi will offer a better ROI, and its brand name will be of immense benefit if you wish to pursue higher studies in India and abroad after graduation.

You can do some research on the career and research opportunities after Chemical Engineering, and see if this branch aligns with your future goals.
