Which is better: IT from NSIT, IT from DTU, or CSE from IIIT Delhi?
IT from NSIT is the best option among these.
- The student crowd is brilliant. It has a small batch size compared to DTU. So, you will face less competition.
- NSIT has an amazing pool of faculties. You will get to learn from excellent faculty members like Sangeeta Sabharwal and MPS Bhatia.
- NSIT IT placements are better than DTU and IIIT D. DTU has a better placement record for core branches. While NSIT offers better placements opportunities to CS and IT students. In the recent placement drive, the average CTC for IT at NSIT was INR 6 LPA.
- Companies like Facebook, Google hire students from NSIT from their US offices.
- Major consulting and non-tech companies like Bain, BCG, ZS Associates, etc. also visit the campus placements.
IIIT Delhi has an excellent research culture and professors from top universities like Carnegie Mellon. So, if you are interested in research, you should choose IIIT D. Overall IT from NSIT is the best option in terms of academics and placements.
Which one should I prefer DTU - IT or IIIT Allahabad - IT?
If you are interested in programming then IIIT Allahabad is a better option. It has an excellent coding culture. IIIT A follows a well-structured course curriculum. The first-year syllabus covers advanced topics such as Discrete Mathematics, Computer Organization & Architecture, and Data Structure & Algorithms, etc. IIIT Allahabad Computer Science department has a superior faculty base compared to DTU. The institute has a thriving research culture in the field of Computer Science.
IIIT Allahabad placements have been great over the years. According to the placement highlights of 2022, the average CTC offered was INR 30 LPA.
Which is better, a CSE at IIIT Delhi or an MCE at DTU?
As a third year student of MCE at DTU, I can only tell you about my college and branch-
- The curriculum of MCE is a mixture of Mathematics, Computer Science and Finance.
- This branch will equip you for a career in three fields.
- The focus is more on Mathematics, but CS is an important part.
- MCE offers good placements. Graduates get job offers from top brands like Amazon, Flipkart, etc. MCE gives competition to well-established branches like CoE, IT, SE, etc. in this aspect.
- DTU is a well-recognized institution with a strong alumni network. More than 250 companies visit the campus every year during the placement season.
- Mathematics faculty is top-notch, while CS faculty is average.
If you want to focus solely on programming, choose CSE at IIIT Delhi. MCE offers programming knowledge alongside advanced Mathematical studies. It will help you design and understand really complex solutions.
At the end, the choice must be based on your personal preference.
Which is better at DTU, Electrical Engineering or Mechanical Engineering?
If you are interested in the Mechanical branch, you should definitely go for DTU Mechanical. DTU has one of the best Mechanical departments in the country. There are many tech teams and societies for the branch. Tech teams such as Defianz Racing, AUV DTU, UAS DTU, etc. even participated in competitions of international levels and won.
The placement records are also good for the branch. Many PSUs frequently visit the campus placement to recruit students. The highlights of DTU Mechanical Engineering placements show the average package to be INR 7 LPA. ONGC, Mahindra, etc. are among the top recruiting companies.
What are the criteria for a branch upgradation at DTU, NSIT, and IIITD?
Instead of branch upgradation, I would like to call it branch change/ transfer. As an alumnus of IIITD, I can tell you about the procedure for branch change in my college-
- CSE, ECE, CSAM, CSS, CSD, and CSB are the six branches available for branch transfer.
- Because some courses start differing from 2nd semester onwards, the transfer takes place after semester 1.
- After semester 1, the admin office sends a notification to all the students along with a form in which they can highlight the branch to which they want to get transferred.
- Your JEE Main rank plays no role during the branch transfer. Instead, your CGPA decides your fate. Few courses, however, have a grade requirement (B- or above accordingly).
- Every branch can see an influx/ outflux of 10% of its original strength. For example, if CSE originally had 120 students, 12 can enter it and/or leave it for that batch.
This is the process for branch transfer at IIITD. I would suggest you also talk to the seniors and refer to the official website of IIITD to see if any new changes have been made to this procedure.
Also, to find out about branch changes at NSUT Delhi or DTU, I would recommend you talk to the alumni and administration of both these colleges.
What is the best DTU maths and computing or NSIT instrumentation?
Both the Delhi Technological University DTU Department of Mathematics and Computing and NSIT Department of Instrumentation and Control Engineering are well-respected institutions with strong programs in their respective fields. Choosing one between the two will depend on your personal interests and career goals.
- MCE at DTU is very similar to COE, whereas ICE at NSIT is a combination of both COE and Electronics.
- MCE lays down a strong foundation for Maths that is an indispensable part of Computer Science.
- If you are looking for hefty placements, ICE isn’t a good option.
Ultimately, the final choice depends on your preferences.
How is the production and industrial engineering at DTU?
Production and Industrial Engineering is a specialization branch of Mechanical Engineering. Most of the subjects are similar in both branches. DTU is a good college in India. Students securing decent JEE Mains rank are able to get admission in it. This branch has good prospects for the future in DTU.
Most people are concerned about future prospects in the branch they choose. For production and industrial engineering at DTU, these prospects are good. Many companies that recruit mechanical engineers are also open to this branch. In today's world, most of the jobs are in the IT sector. These companies want people with certain skills. They do not care about the branch of their employees. DTU has a good coding culture. Most of the students practice computer programming. There are clubs and some groups of students who help their friends and juniors to learn skills. These skills help them to make a good resume to impress the recruiters. If one has an interest in working in core companies, then also they have a chance at DTU. If one maintains a good academic profile and an exceptional achievement record, he is sure to get a core job.
This branch also includes learning of management skills which are very helpful. Students of this branch can also appear for GATE. This way they can get jobs at PSUs or complete M.Tech in this branch. The location of DTU is also a boon for the civil services aspirants. Delhi is known to have top coaching centers for civil service preparations. So the people aiming to crack UPSC can also opt for this college. Thus, if you see all advantages of opting for this branch in DTU, then it is quite a good option.
In what aspects is IIIT Delhi better than DTU?
Good universities offer top faculty, curriculum, research opportunities, projects, hands-on and connections. Extracurricular facilities always come second.
The academic facilities at IIIT Delhi are far better. It offers a far better infrastructure too. DTU has a legacy of its own. But unfortunately, it has done nothing to improve its classrooms, labs, library, and hostels. Getting a hostel at DTU is difficult, and its hostel facilities are not even comparable to those of IIITD. The campus of DTU is definitely much bigger.
Campus life at IIITD is weaker because it is a new institute with a much smaller student population. However, it provides clubs, events, and fests like any other college. You’ll get all the sports facilities at IIITD.
If you wish for better academics and research opportunities, choose IIITD without hesitation.
How does DTU and NSIT compare with IITs?
DTU and NSUT aren’t even close to the top IITs at least now. Earlier, DTU was quite comparable to IIT Roorkee but ever since it has been converted to a university, it has lost its charm. However, DTU and NSUT are still among the top 10 colleges in India and are better than some IITs. Here are a few things that make these two colleges inferior to IITs
- The reservation policy for Delhi people is over 85% which hampers the peer group quality and diversity to a large extent.
- The faculty pool comprises below-average professors who have no interest in teaching or encouraging research work.
- Lastly, the administration of the college is pathetic.
So here is what I would recommend you
- For CS/IT : OLD IITs>IIITH>NSUT Delhi>DTU>Top 3 NITs>New IITs
- For other branches: Old IITs>DTU>NSUT Delhi>Top 3 NITs>New IITs
If you want to pursue research, then consider joining IIITs or IITs instead of NSUT Delhi or DTU.
Do non-CS students from IIT/BITS/NSIT/DTU/IIIT get programming jobs at top companies?
Programming is a field anyone can opt for provided they have the skills and the knowledge. Irrespective of the branch, engineering students are exposed to programming to a certain extent and thus have the skills for an IT job. Non-cs students can get jobs in top companies like Google, Amazon Microsoft, etc. if they are well-versed with algorithms. Even average students get placed in the IT department of companies like Flipkart, Snapdeal, Myntra, Tower Research, Shopclues, Delhivery, Jabong, and many other good startups like Grabhouse and Flatfurnish, etc.
So whether you can join it or not depends on whether you are interested in it and can pursue it long term as your career. If you don’t have a genuine interest the field may tire you out after a while and even the money you make won’t satisfy you. If you think you won’t be able to join because you lack the skills then rest assured, that is certainly not the case. IT Companies hire IITians for sure based on analytical skills only.
Hope this helps you!
