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.
Both NIT Trichy and IIT Delhi are excellent Engineering colleges providing premium education. The choice of the branch, however, should be based on what you are expecting from your graduation. If it’s packages you are after, obviously, NIT Trichy is the right choice for you. But if you are driven by opportunities, exploring more things, and higher studies then IIT Delhi is the one that will open doors for the same. IIT Delhi is a globally recognized brand in contrast to NIT and thus one can easily go for higher education abroad with the IIT tag working in your favor.
Then again, the final decision should be based on your genuine inclination, personal preferences, and career prospects.
