What is the placement record in IIT Delhi for an MTech student in mechanical engineering?
Yes, IIT Delhi MTech Machine Design students do get placed with decent roles and packages. In fact, after IIT Bombay, IIT Delhi is the most preferred IIT for students mailing to get enrolled in the MTech program. The 2 main reasons for this are listed below:
- IIT Delhi’s location is excellent for ESE preparation
- The overall placements of MTech are better than m most other IITs
MTech Program offered by the Mechanical Department of IIT Delhi has a decent placement scenario with a placement percentage of around 70-80%. Design stream has the best placements in the entire department in terms of the average package as well as placement percentage. Mainly roles in R&D and a few managerial roles are offered.
How do I choose between IIT Delhi engineering physics, civil, production & industrial, and chemical engineering?
I will restrict my answer to Engineering Physics and Chemicals only as I know the same only.
- The major criterion followed at IIT Delhi by all the branches is a well-maintained CG. To secure good placements one has to constantly score a good CG throughout the program.
- During your admission, the department does not play any role but your 85 percent constraint on minimum possible strength does.
- Engineering Physics is a unique branch for those highly passionate about Physics and want to pursue higher studies in the same
- To secure core jobs, one has to move to MTech in Engineering Physics from BTech in Engineering Physics.
- For Chemical Engineering students, BTech is more than enough to secure decent packages and great research opportunities outside India.
- Consultancy and Analytics jobs are offered equally to students of all the departments
- Engineering Physics graduates usually take up consultancy or IT jobs
- Chemical Engineering is the most laid-back department of IIT Delhi with very flexible academics thus making it easy to maintain a decent CG throughout.
I wouldn’t suggest anyone go for Engineering Physics if they have no intention of pursuing it later. Instead, look for other options in BTech and explore your interests.

The branch-wise placement details for IIT Delhi are unfortunately not available. However, as seen above, both the colleges offer really good placements in B.Tech programs.
But IIT Delhi Electrical is a better option because this institution carries a bigger brand name, and the ‘IIT’ tag. This will be immensely important for you when applying for higher studies after your graduation. Moreover, plenty of employees give preference to an ‘IIT’ tag over an ‘NIT’ tag.
IIT Delhi is located in the national capital, which is really beneficial in terms of exposure. Moreover, IIT Delhi will give you much more opportunities as compared to NIT Trichy. You can learn coding in your leisure time while studying electrical, in case you are interested in working in the IT sector.
Because of these reasons, I would recommend you choose EE at IIT Delhi over CSE at NIT Trichy.

Which are the companies visited at IIT Delhi on Day 0, Day 1 and Day 2 of placement?
Firstly, at IIT Delhi, the first day is called Day 1 and not Day 0.
Day 1
Obviously, the most elite companies with the best packages visit the campus on the first day.
- Consulting: A major chunk of companies visiting on the first day is consulting companies like Mckinsey, B.C.G., Bain, Parthenon, A.T. Kearney Diamond, Opera, Essex. The usual packages offered range from 15-15 LPA while some offer exceptional packages like INR 29 LPA.
- Finance: The Finance companies that visit the campus offer excellent packages with the most common being Goldman Sachs, WorldQuant, Deutsche Bank, etc.
- Core: A large number of core companies like Schlumberger, GSK, ITC, and HUL offer decent packages of around 16-20 LPA.
- Computer Science: Being the coding hub, IIT Delhi has a large number of Computer Science companies, like Google USA and India, Samsung Korea and India, Microsoft USA and India, Facebook USA, Tower Research, Code Nation, Nutanix, Visa, IBM, DirectI, etc. visiting the campus. Most of the companies offer packages higher than INR 20 LPA.
Day 2
The second-day witnessed fewer consulting companies and more Analytics companies than the first day. Companies offering Management roles start visiting from the second day and keep coming till Days 4-5. These include Flipkart, Housing, Snapdeal, etc.
Which is the best department and subject in IIT Delhi for ESE preparation for civil engineering?
IIT Delhi's Civil Engineering department has a total of 7 branches namely
- Structural Engineering
- Geotechnical Engineering
- Transportation Engineering
- Environmental Engineering
- Water Resources Engineering
- Rock Engineering
- Construction Engineering and Management
The ones that I will recommend you not to join include - Structural, Geotechnical, Transport, and Water Resources. This is because you are planning to prepare for ESE which won’t be possible because of the demanding and rigorous curriculum of these branches.
Construction Engineering and Management is a good choice as the coursework is light in comparison to others. Rock Engineering is another good option but the future scope is limited because it’s not a major branch of Civil Engineering.
The most common choice among aspirants is Environmental Engineering with the least burden and great opportunities.
Can a student in textile engineer do a minor degree in Computer Science in IIT Delhi?
Top engineering colleges like IIT Delhi, NSIT, School of Planning and Architecture, Delhi, College of Art, Delhi, and even the famous Faculty of Management Studies have branched out from DCE. Major differences between these Engineering institutes include
- Being the oldest, DTU has the largest alumni base ever more than NSIT and IIT Delhi.
- All three have different statuses; DTU in itself is a university, NSIT is under the umbrella of Delhi University while IIT Delhi is an institution affiliated with the central government.
- The companies visiting these institutes are similar in terms of roles and packages offered with DTU and IIT Delhi students getting offers from companies like McKinsey, Bain, etc. while NSIT students getting offers from Tech giants like Facebook, Google, and Microsoft.
- IITians enjoy the brand name that comes attached to their degrees. This brand name is superior to that of DCE.
Ultimately students prefer IITs over other engineering colleges mainly because they are government bodies and have earned global recognition.
What is it like to study at IIT Delhi?
Studying at IIT Delhi is the dream of many engineering aspirants and rightly so. The exposure and the opportunities offered are second to none making it a coveted college.
