How did NSIT come to become one of the top tier engineering colleges in India?

A number of factors combined together make NSUT one of the premier engineering colleges in the country.

• Establishment : NSUT  was given importance from the very beginning by DU because of its excellent industry relations and good opportunities in terms of jobs and exposure. In fact, in the early 1990s, DCE and NSUT  were the only two good govt engineering colleges in Delhi after IIT-D. 
• Crowd : NSUT has a low intake and only the best students are given admission here. The crowd quality is never sacrificed for the sake of money, unlike other colleges. Ever since its establishment NSUT has attracted the best companies so DCE and NSUT became the RECs of Delhi. 
• Location : NSUT is located in Delhi, the capital which is home to a huge number of companies. Most of the companies recruit from IIT Delhi, DTU, and NSUT. In fact, almost 80% of the companies visiting IIT visit DTU and NSUT too. This abundance of jobs has made NSUT a preferable choice for many. Better placements automatically attracted better students. 
• Placements: Engineering aspirants look for decent packages to kick-start their careers. NSUT offers exactly that and thus it’s an ideal choice for many seeking education in Delhi. The institute is visited by top companies like l TCS, Infosys, Accenture, Wipro, Google, and Facebook, or all the major PSUs, they visited NSUT. 

However, in recent years both DTU and NSUT have increased their intake exponentially and have lost the charm of being the best Engineering colleges in Delhi. NIT Delhi and IIIT Delhi seem to have taken their place now. So unless the students of NSUT help restore its brand value, the institute will be a total failure in the future.
