Is IIIT-Delhi better than DTU for ECE?

Namrata Das Posted On : October 7th, 2023

Yes, all the branches in IIIT Delhi are considered to be better than DTU CSE. Although DTU has a better brand name, it’s way behind IIIT Delhi in terms of placement, quality of crowd, and research culture. IIIT Delhi's faculty and infrastructure are way better than DTU's. 

IIIT Delhi has a very flexible curriculum allowing students to choose subjects of their choice, unlike the rigid curriculum of DTU. Moreover, the IIIT Delhi curriculum is CS-tailored so you won't have to study Physics, Chemistry, and Biology in the first year. Students are taught Data structures and Algorithms along with many programming languages-Python, C, Java, and Shell Scripting in the first year itself. ECE students at IIIT Delhi are taught more practical and less theoretical knowledge.

The best part is that students are free to choose CSE courses in the 3rd and 4th year which is not possible in DTU. The best option would be to pursue a Master's in CS and a Bachelor's in ECE.

Ultimately, the choice depends on your preferences.

What's the girl to boy ratio in IIIT Delhi?

AB

I have friends in both institutes and from what I have heard, the IIIT Delhi faculty is quite arrogant and has no interest in teaching. The professors at IIT Delhi were very approachable during internships and expressed their willingness to work with the students and help them find their thought processes. On the other hand, IIIT Delhi professors would mock you if you were unable to answer a particular question.

A friend shared an incident at IIT Delhi when one of the professors committed an unintentional mistake and retook his interview to apologize. Your Ph.D. depends a lot on the kind of professors you work under and I will never recommend you to do a Ph.D. under such arrogant professors

What's the girl to boy ratio in IIIT Delhi?

TA
Tithi Aggrawal Posted On : October 7th, 2023
Lives in New Delhi

IIIT Delhi has a decent gender ratio in comparison to other engineering colleges. The girl-to-boy ratio at IIIT-Delhi in the recent batches was

  • B.Tech. 2012-2016 ~ 40%
  • B.Tech. 2013-2017 ~ 25-30%
  • B.Tech. 2014-2018 ~ 10%

The ratio is not expected to improve as the cut-offs are decreased each year. The gender ratio is not an important aspect to be considered during admission. It’s better to focus on important factors like faculty, infrastructure, placements, course curriculum, etc.

IIIT Delhi has no gender bias and females are represented at all levels. If there are not enough female members in the Student Council, more female members are nominated and invited to join the council. Many clubs even award special prizes for the best female coder in most of its biweekly contests. So irrespective of your gender, you will experience a very progressive environment at IIIT Delhi.

Is it true that IIIT Delhi is very strict, completely academic-oriented, and only people with very high interest in a CSE should only join there?

RD
Raya Das Posted On : October 9th, 2023
Studied at Indraprastha Institute of Information Technology, Delhi (2019)

Academics is the top most priority of IIIT Delhi. Everything else takes a backseat. This may be because it is branded as a research institute. 

If you wish to pursue research in CSE or complete your MS/Ph.D. from a foreign university, choose IIIT Delhi. Academically, IIITD is comparable to IIT Bombay, IIIT Hyderabad, etc. But don’t choose IIIT Delhi if you are planning for an MBA later on. In this case, you might end up dropping out due to a loss of interest in this course.

As for placements, more than 95% of B.Tech CSE students are placed each year. However, very few non-tech companies visit the campus. As ECE receives very few core companies, students from both branches compete against each other for tech jobs.

Based on your own priorities and goals, decide whether or not to choose IIITD for your CSE course.

The cut-off for admission at IIITD ranges from 16694-28261. IIITD has a great set of faculty members and the curriculum is excellent.IIITD lacks diversity. With around 85% of the student community belonging to Delhi, it isn't catering to a pan-Indian audience. IIIT-Delhi students seemed frustrated with the workload and students are left with deadlines every single day and thus have no life out of academics. 

IIIT Allahabad

The candidate must have cleared the JEE Mains. The cut off for admission at IIITA ranges from 1291-5330. IIITA has a great coding environment. Faculty is not up to the mark.

They both have a good curriculum but IIIT Delhi has so much more to offer. So If I were you, I would definitely choose IIITD.

Which is better opt IIT Delhi maths and computing or CSE at NIT Warangal, NIT Surathkal or IIIT Bangalore CSE?

TD
Tezal Dahiya Posted On : September 15th, 2023

Without any second thoughts, IIT Delhi MnC is the best option among all the aforementioned colleges. It's one of the top 5 IIts and moreover, its MnC program is highly sought after by engineering aspirants. The preference order in your case should be

  1. IIT Delhi MnC
  2. NITK CSE
  3. NITW CSE
  4. IIIT B CSE

It's safe to say that none of the above colleges can match the standard of IIT Delhi, which is in itself a brand. MnC is quite similar to CSE though a few core computer courses are not included. Also, this branch is handled by the Mathematics department and not the CSE department. However, if you are more inclined towards CSE than MnC, then the best options for you would be IITR or IITG CSE.

What would you advise a CS fresher at IIIT Delhi?

TA
Tithi Aggrawal Posted On : October 7th, 2023
Lives in New Delhi

IIIT Delhi is one of the leading institutions suffering higher studies in Computer Science in India. Students are exposed to the core subjects right from the first year which might be quite overwhelming for the freshers. IIIT Delhi has a myriad of research opportunities, internships, and the like available to first-year students but they often fail to make the most of these opportunities. 

If you haven't programmed before, you'll feel lost when faced with unfamiliar terms. Follow these tips to overcome your struggles

  • Take out at least 30 minutes to 1 hour every day to write codes. Write a program different from the one you are required to make in the Intro To Programming course.
  • Dont hesitate to ask for help whenever you have a doubt or get stuck on some error. Seek the help of your instructor, TAs, seniors, and batchmates with programming experience. 

If you know basic programming but are not too confident then your knowledge to your advantage and get involved with 

  • Another great support structure that exists in IIIT-D i.e. its technical student clubs -
    FooBar and Byld.
  • Attend the competitions and sessions hosted by these bodies as they will teach you a lot.

If you feel lost as a CS fresher at IIIT Delhi, remember that everyone has started from the beginning and so can you!

Both the campuses BITS Goa and IIIT Delhi are of equal importance, it depends upon where you live. The academic curriculum, faculty, different clubs, internships, coding culture, and whatnot are some of the opportunities provided in both colleges. There is no problem in finding internships during the BTech program as the college provides the same.

BITS Goa has more activities than IIIT Delhi. It will help you expose to many different things and enjoy your life and studies as well. So I can say that it is your personal choice to opt for the particular campus after thinking about your desires.

Thus, we can conclude that identify your preference keeping in mind the various pros and cons of the college, along with the desires of your college life, then only opt for the particular campus, BITS Goa or IIT Delhi.

Arohi Dasgupta Posted On : October 7th, 2023
studied at Indraprastha Institute of Information Technology, Delhi

Student life at IIIT Delhi is considered to be quite challenging but also rewarding. Students don’t have to be engrossed in academics throughout the day and can follow the Work Smarter not Harder mantra here. Attend the classes sincerely and pay attention to everything that is being covered. Apart from lectures 2–3 hours of focused studying a day is more than enough to get decent marks. Additionally, you will have to spend 1–2 hours daily on project work. 

Students have opportunities to get involved in extracurricular activities like music, dance, software development, scripting, literature, quizzing, business, robotics, speedcubing, etc. There is also a new sports complex and the other sports facilities are also top notch.

Is CSAM at IIIT Delhi worth it?

AB
Akriti Banerjee Posted On : October 7th, 2023
lives in New Delhi

No, CSAM at IIIT Delhi is definitely not worth it. Here is a detailed review of the program as shared by a friend 

  • Branch Structure: In the first year, students are taught subjects the same as CSE, The course structure becomes challenging after the first year, There are 2 math courses added every semester. In the 4th semester complex subjects like Algorithm design, Abstract Algebra, Differential Equations, and an elective from Physics, Maths, Bio, etc. are included in the syllabus. No core CSE courses like DBMS, CO, or OS are even offered to CSAM students. Overall, there are 7 compulsory Math courses and 5 CS courses. So, out of 15 courses to be done in the last 2 years, 12 are compulsory. 2 are compulsory for everyone and CSAM students have only 1 slot.
  • Professors: Most professors are highly educated, and offer extremely challenging courses. Students aren’t asked basic questions or theorems taught in class. The grading scheme is also quite tough for these courses.
  • Placements: CSAM placements at IIIT Delhi depend more on individual profiles and skills than the college. Usually, companies dont prefer CSAM students over CSE because they are taught core courses like DBMS, OS, CO, etc. CSAM BTech placement percentage this year stood at 98.44%. 

All in all, the CSAM branch of IIIT Delhi isn't a good choice if you are primarily interested in placements. It is futile to study such high-level Math if only your knowledge of Data Structures, OS, DBMS, etc. will be considered during placements. CSAM should be considered only if you are interested in research in applied math.
