What is the current actual condition of NIT Delhi? Is it good or not? If I choose NIT Delhi over IIITD and NSIT/DTU, will it be worthwhile for me or not?
No, it’s not wise to choose NIT Delhi over prestigious Delhi colleges like NSIT, DTU, and IIIT Delhi. Your first preference should be NSIT or DTU followed by IIIT Delhi. So, NIT Delhi should be your last preference among these colleges.
NSIT/DTU are well-established institutes while NIT Delhi and IIITD are still in their infancy stage. However, because of their central location, all these 4 colleges have a decent placement scenario. Most IT companies from Gurugram, Noida, and Delhi visit all of these campuses. NT Delhi operates from a temporary campus N.I.L.E.R.D. located in a remote place, Narela. Most faculty lack experience and won’t be of much help in projects.
The hostel and classroom facilities however are pretty good and a 24/7 Internet facility is provided to the students. The college is remotely located so it will be difficult to find eateries serving decent quality food. Being new, the campus has an active club culture and lab facilities.
Overall, I feel NIT Delhi fails to offer the exposure and opportunities that other Delhi engineering colleges offer so should be your last choice.
Do CS companies recruit ICE students at NSIT?
Yes, most companies coming for CS students at NSUT also allow ICE students to sit for placements. Only a handful of companies like Rubrik and Tower Research restrict students from other branches to appear for their placement rounds. Some companies, although very few, don't even allow IT students to sit in the placement round.
In general, companies have a CGPA criteria of 7+ and if you qualify, you will be eligible for almost 99% of the companies. IT giants offering hefty packages around INR 40 LPA usually have low cutoff criteria of around 6 CGPA and allow students of all branches to participate in the placement round. In all, around 75% of the recruiters come with computer-related jobs out of which 90% of companies allow ICE students. So at NSUT, you can easily be recruited by a CS company if you have a good CGPA.
Hope this helps you!
Which is the best for a CS: IIITD, NSIT or MNNIT Allahabad?
Colleges like NSUT and MNNIT Allahabad have a legacy built over many years. IIIT Delhi will take some time to catch up to the reputation of these colleges.
Regardless, I have tried to rank the three on several parameters, for their CS (CoE) program-
- Coding Culture- NSUT has the best coding culture, followed by MNNIT.
- Curriculum- IIITD has the best curriculum, followed by MNNIT.
- Research and Higher Studies- IIITD offers the best research prospects, followed by NSUT.
- Fests and Clubs- NSUT offers the best fests and clubs, followed by IIITD.
- Infrastructure and facilities- NSUT has the best infrastructure among the three, while MNNIT lags far behind the other two.
- Peer performance- NSUT has the best peer performance, followed by IIITD.
- Faculty-IIITD has the best faculty, while MNNIT and NSUT are at par.
- Alumni Network- MNNIT has a slightly better alumni network than NSUT, while IIITD lags far behind the other two.
Regardless of whichever college you choose for your CS (CoE), your success will come from your own efforts. By studying diligently and polishing your skills, you will land a well paying job, regardless of your graduation college.
How are the placements for a biotech in NSIT?
BioTech at NSUT Delhi is a unique branch of the institute in the sense that its syllabus is completely different from other branches except for the first year. While other branches have a few overlapping courses, BioTech has none. BioTech students have separate labs, subjects, practicals, etc. Here are some highlights of this branch.
- Few are interested in core jobs while some are coding enthusiasts who don’t get many opportunities in on-campus placements but perform well in off-campus placements.
- The students of this branch are actively involved in societies and clubs, ranging from DebSoc to Ashwamedha, Crescendo, and Mirage among others.
- BioTech students usually are passionate about research work. They work under the faculty and publish some really good research papers throughout their college life.
- Students with good grades have an edge in nontech jobs, society PORs, and even in higher education like MBA/IAS, etc.
- The most common choice of these students is to pursue a Master's or an MBA. Some secure core or nontech jobs as per their skills.
Overall the placements for the BioTech branch of NSUT Delhi are average with a mix of core and nin core opportunities.

Both DTU and NSUT Delhi offer plenty of opportunities for their students in this field.
Qualcomm, SanDisk, Samsung R&D, Mobikwik, Amazon, American Express, Royal Bank of Scotland, Tejas networks, IBM, Amazon, AWS, and Morgan Stanley are some of the MNCs that usually prefer to recruit DTU students. These companies offer a package of around 6-8 LPA. You may also be selected by Google, Microsoft, Apple, Goldman Sachs, Flipkart, Codenation, and Facebook Germany & Ireland.
For placements, DTU is comparable to the top 7 IITs and top 3 NITs. NSUT Delhi is a great college but lags a bit in comparison to DTU in terms of placements. If you are going to study at DTU, choose your specialization according to this preference order- CSE> SWE> ISY. NSUT Delhi offers an M.Tech in CSE, Information Security, and AI.
These are some details about an M.Tech in CSE and related courses at DTU and NSUT Delhi.
How is instrumentation and control at NSIT - infrastructure, faculty, course content, scope, placement and research opportunities?
Here is all the information about ICE at NSUT Delhi-
- Faculty - The ICE faculty is a mixed bag. There are some teachers who teach really well and their classes are enjoyable. However, there are some strict ones as well. Some do not care about their subject or the students at all.
- Coursework - The ICE coursework is fine and gives you ample time to pursue your interests.
- Infrastructure - NSUT Delhi has undergone infrastructural changes recently. This is because it has gained University status. The college library is centrally air-conditioned. ICE shares most of its labs with the Electronics and Computers branches. The labs are well-equipped.
- Placements - Placements are less as compared to COE/IT branches. Few companies offer jobs to ICE students, especially for Core job profiles. Generally, DRs and people with exceptional profiles are placed in ICE. Internship offers are also less for this department.
- Research- ICE students are actively involved in research work. The ICE faculty encourages students to participate in research. Students also work under DTU, IIT Delhi, and IIIT Delhi teachers. ICE students work on around 3-4 projects while at NSUT Delhi.
- Scope - ICE students drift from their core stream to a programming job or an MBA. Some also prepare for an MS.
This is all the information about the ICE branch at NSIT Delhi.
What are the criteria for a branch upgradation at DTU, NSIT, and IIITD?
Instead of branch upgradation, I would like to call it branch change/ transfer. As an alumnus of IIITD, I can tell you about the procedure for branch change in my college-
- CSE, ECE, CSAM, CSS, CSD, and CSB are the six branches available for branch transfer.
- Because some courses start differing from 2nd semester onwards, the transfer takes place after semester 1.
- After semester 1, the admin office sends a notification to all the students along with a form in which they can highlight the branch to which they want to get transferred.
- Your JEE Main rank plays no role during the branch transfer. Instead, your CGPA decides your fate. Few courses, however, have a grade requirement (B- or above accordingly).
- Every branch can see an influx/ outflux of 10% of its original strength. For example, if CSE originally had 120 students, 12 can enter it and/or leave it for that batch.
This is the process for branch transfer at IIITD. I would suggest you also talk to the seniors and refer to the official website of IIITD to see if any new changes have been made to this procedure.
Also, to find out about branch changes at NSUT Delhi or DTU, I would recommend you talk to the alumni and administration of both these colleges.
Which is better NSIT IT or NIT Kurukshetra CS?
A lot of factors need to be considered while choosing one between NSIT IT and NIT Kurukshetra CS. If you are someone who wants a happening and vibrant campus life, and also an active social life at clubs, malls, water parks, and all that, you need to go for NSIT Delhi because the capital has a lot of such places. It will be difficult to have a fun-filled life at NIT Kurukshetra. However, the outside life does not matter much because you will hardly have any free time to hang out. So it’s not the only criteria you should consider.
The placement scenario of both the institutes is somewhat similar and almost every company that visits NSIT visits NITK as well.A few times NSIT students did receive exceptionally good packages but that happens rarely. Overall, there isn’t much difference in terms of packages and job opportunities.

The academic environment at both the institutes is great and both have excellent and some diametrically opposite professors. NIT Kurukshetra has a better coding culture. This is because there is no outside life so the majority of students spend time in hostels resulting in intense competition among them.
What is the best DTU maths and computing or NSIT instrumentation?
Both the Delhi Technological University DTU Department of Mathematics and Computing and NSIT Department of Instrumentation and Control Engineering are well-respected institutions with strong programs in their respective fields. Choosing one between the two will depend on your personal interests and career goals.
- MCE at DTU is very similar to COE, whereas ICE at NSIT is a combination of both COE and Electronics.
- MCE lays down a strong foundation for Maths that is an indispensable part of Computer Science.
- If you are looking for hefty placements, ICE isn’t a good option.
Ultimately, the final choice depends on your preferences.
How does DTU and NSIT compare with IITs?
DTU and NSUT aren’t even close to the top IITs at least now. Earlier, DTU was quite comparable to IIT Roorkee but ever since it has been converted to a university, it has lost its charm. However, DTU and NSUT are still among the top 10 colleges in India and are better than some IITs. Here are a few things that make these two colleges inferior to IITs
- The reservation policy for Delhi people is over 85% which hampers the peer group quality and diversity to a large extent.
- The faculty pool comprises below-average professors who have no interest in teaching or encouraging research work.
- Lastly, the administration of the college is pathetic.
So here is what I would recommend you
- For CS/IT : OLD IITs>IIITH>NSUT Delhi>DTU>Top 3 NITs>New IITs
- For other branches: Old IITs>DTU>NSUT Delhi>Top 3 NITs>New IITs
If you want to pursue research, then consider joining IIITs or IITs instead of NSUT Delhi or DTU.
