The answer to this question depends on the interests. It totally depends on the field of interest of the student.

•  If one is interested in software and development and using devices such as laptops or mobile phones, then one can choose Software engineering at Delhi Technological University (DTU). 
• If one is interested in the hardware part, then he/she should opt for ECE at NSIT. 
•  After all if one is still confused to make a decision for either of the streams, then only the candidate should apply for Software Engineering at DTU.

If there is still a confusion about DTU for software Engineering and ECE at NSIT they can look at the college placements for that particular course.
