If you are evaluating the institutes based on placements, then you will be pleased to know that IIT Delhi ranks 28th position in the Top 50 of Times Higher Education Global Employability University Ranking and Survey.
However, I feel placements should not be the determining factor as the IIT tag will get you placed with a good package irrespective of whichever IIT you choose. The primary determining factor should be your inclination towards a specific branch. If you target a specific branch just based on placements, you are likely to lose interest soon. This will result in a frustrated career. In fact, I have seen many students opt out of CS just because they realize that it’s not their cup of tea and go for average branches that intrigue them genuinely.
Here is a comparative analysis of placements of both the institutes

NMIMS Mumbai's MPSTME is a deemed university that offers a computer engineering B.Tech program. The school has good infrastructure and faculty, and it provides a student-centric environment. Students from this school have gone on to pursue higher studies and secure placements around the world.
If you are considering this program, you can be assured that the course has good value, irrespective of whether or not you choose to join the same department or school as me.

It’s highly illogical to measure IIT Hyderabad, the fastest-growing new IIT with a private institute BITS.
I feel IIT Hyderabad is the better option for CS in comparison to BITS Hyderabad.
IIIT Naya Raipur CSE is a better option, in terms of placements. According to the recent placement highlights, the highest and average CTC for the branch is INR 10.5 LPA and INR 43 LPA, respectively. The placement rate for CSE is around 100%. Microsoft, Deloitte, Adobe, American Express, Ericsson, Capgemini, etc. visit IIIT Naya Raipur placements.
Since you know what you are looking for, it becomes quite easy to segregate categories for you to choose which place you want to go. Do all-around research and look at various categories like crowd, course curriculum as well as the faculty before making a decision. Here are some points that may help you out.
Faculty: One point where IIIT A might lag is the faculty. Being a top college, you might expect it to have some of the top-notch faculty in the country. However, it is more of a mix of government college faculty with some average teachers and others that are really well-versed in their subjects. IIIT D on the other hand has better faculty who have a rational approach to the subject of computer science. IIIT D definitely tops here.
Course Curriculum: You will find some of the best course curricula at IIIT A. You will be introduced to the subjects of computer science right from the very first semester. A major plus point is that there are no interdisciplinary subjects like ED that will be included.
Crowd: As far as crowds are concerned, both places have the same crowd. IIIT A might be slightly better as they do not hold any state-based preferences or quotas.
Coding Culture: The coding culture at IIIT A is one of the best in the country. This college is the pioneer college that represents our country in some of the most major competitive coding platforms. Just recently, 12 students were even selected for GSOC from IIIT A. IIIT D is still in its nascent days as far as coding is concerned.
Infrastructure: This is one point where both colleges are at par with each other. Both are good as far as basic amenities are concerned.
Lastly, you should know that IIIT A is a college with a national reputation. It will definitely give you the upper edge when you go for your masters. This is probably not the case with IIIT D. However, if you are looking for good faculty and a city atmosphere, go to IIIT D.
IIT Indore CSE department is becoming stronger in terms of placements only and its curriculum is still very lacking. The placements too can be much better especially for Graduate Schools in the US.
Many students have this preconceived notion that it’s much easier to get into a Masters program than Bachelor’s. Also students come for consultation quite late sometimes even in their final semester. Students should approach the faculty in their 3rd year so that the professors can help them during placements.
It’s true that the IIT Indore CSE department is improving every year and the credit goes to the hardworking students of the department.
IIT (ISM) Dhanbad although a new IIT, has a rich legacy of being one of the oldest technical institutes in India. It is considered even better than some old IITs and obviously better than the new ones. IIT Dhanbad has an outstanding placement record thanks to its extensive alumni pool. Consider the following placement statistics for a better understanding
