If you are sure about your interest in CSE, DTU is the best option for you. However, if you are yet to identify your area of interest then go through the following parameters

• Placement: DTU has ties with huge CSE companies like Amazon, and Microsoft that offer excellent packages to the students even better than Civil at IIT Roorkee. I know many friends from NSITs and DTU that work in Microsoft today.
• Research: The CS department is undoubtedly better in terms of research work and opportunities than the Civil.
• IAS: For IAS, the most preferred branch is Civil. However, if you do for Roorkee, you will have limited options for coaching which can be easily sought at IIT Delhi
• MBA: Again, because of better coaching institutes, IIT Delhi is better to prepare for CAT.

Once you are sure of your inclination making a decision won’t seem so difficult!

I won’t recommend you choose a dual program from BITS. For CSE, I would highly recommend IIIT Delhi. It has great research opportunities. It does not have the same branch value as NSUT Delhi/ DTU, but its growth rate is high. It will soon become a brand like IIIT Hyderabad. Compared to the new IITs, IIITD has a locational advantage because it is situated in the national capital. 

BITS dual is a decent choice, but only if you get a CS. It depends on your performance in the first year. The odds of getting a CS are less than 20% which is pretty low, and the cutoffs keep getting higher each year. As far as the ‘BITS’ tag is concerned, it's really not that important in reality.

For the new IITs, go only if you are getting a CS over there. Do not rely on branch change. Also, avoid going to those located in small/ secluded towns because then you won’t get a lot of exposure. Also, do consider the faculty and infrastructure if you plan to go to a new IIT. My order of preference for CSE is IIITD > NSUT Delhi/DTU > BITS Goa/Hyderabad > IIT.

Thus, for a CSE, I would suggest you to choose either IIITD or NSUT Delhi/DTU.

Following the sheep mentality, many claim that it’s the branch that shapes your career and not your institute. Well, don’t let such people mislead you into believing your career is all set if you take CSE irrespective of the institute you belong to. 

CSE branch is a major crowd-puller but trust me any branch taken up at IITs is better than other technical institutes. The branch is temporary but the tag you will be getting is permanent and will stay with you forever. Moreover, as for the placement opportunities that are better for CS, you can always opt for noncore placements and acquire coding skills. 

The campus life and exposure provided by IITs is like no other so if you choose a technical institute other than IIT, you will be missing out on a good college life. Also, the culture of most IITs is driven towards coding so many IIT companies offer placements to students other than the CS branch based on your skills. 

Here is a comparative analysis of the placement scenario of these institutes 

Here is a short review of each of the aforementioned colleges 

• NSUT Delhi: Go for this college only if you are getting CSE, IT, or ECE here. The infrastructure is lacking but the excellent alumni network makes up for it.
• DTU : The infrastructure and alumni network is great but the academic level is average.
• IIIT Delhi: The college is new so does not have an elaborate alumni base but the excellent faculty makes the learning experience great. The curriculum is updated and the infrastructure is modern. The academics are given great focus and the ambiance is pretty rigorous.

Here is what you should prefer for individual branches

If you aren’t getting CSE at IIIT Delhi then consider CSD and CSAM branches of IIIT Delhi but only after considering the CSE of NSUT Delhi and DTU.

Here are some important things I learned from the campus placements at NSUT Delhi-

1. It’s a harsh reality but luck plays a huge role in placements. Sometimes it will shock you how people with no potential at all get offered great job opportunities.
2. Confidence and patience are really important during placements.
3. You need to prepare well to get placed. By sitting for various companies too, you will get a lot of experience and exposure on the do’s and don'ts.
4. Placement season is the best and worst time of your college life. This is when you get to know the difference between fake and real friends.
5. Learn to be satisfied with the job that you end up in. It is your grades, caliber, and level of preparation that have brought you here. A comparison with others is of no use.
6. Sometimes people become rude after getting placed in a top company for a good package. Learn to ignore them and remain calm.
7. Only you know your hard work, worth and potential. Don’t let others talk you down with rude words.
8. Some of your close friends may not get a good placement. This is the time when you support them.
9. Utilize your time after placements. Get productive, don’t be lazy. 

These experiences aren’t just limited to the placement season of NSUT Delhi, they are common for all the colleges/ universities.

The choice between CSE from IGDTUW and ECE from NSIT/DTU/IIIT depends on the goals of your daughter. If she is planning to pursue higher studies like MS or a Ph.D., then IIIT Delhi is a decent choice as it’s a research-oriented college. But if she is looking for a job, then IIIT Delhi will offer limited opportunities. This is because getting a job in Core ECE companies like Western Digital and Qualcomm is not easy, as these companies prioritize master students. A few talented students do get placed in Software firms.

 In IIIT Delhi first year is the same for both CSE and ECE during which the students are taught Introduction to Programming, System Management, Computer Organisation, Data Structure, and Digital Circuits. Your chances of placement also depend on your CGPA which should be preferably above 7. IIIT Delhi offers the flexibility to choose the CSE courses, provided that you complete the minimum credits requirement in the last two years of B.Tech for the degree.

In all, I feel, that NSIT and DTU will offer great job opportunities because of their brand name but IIIT Delhi will teach you new things and also offer research opportunities

So it’s best to go for NSIT or DTU or IIIT Delhi. Choose wisely.

While IIT is a globally recognized brand, DTU is no less the mother institution of reputed colleges like IIT Delhi and FMS. It has been established got 83 years and is older than IITs. However, the institute is always the secondary thing to consider, the branch being the primary factor to focus on. Determine whether your interests lie in becoming a Computer Science engineer or an Electronics Engineer.

Personally, I would suggest you go for DTU CSE because of the following reasons:

Faculty: DTU has a rich pool of highly esteemed and well-qualified Professors with over an experience of more than 30 years of teaching

Campus: Located in a metro city, you are exposed to city life. You can also prepare for IAS, MBA, GRE, Language Courses, or coding courses as Delhi has the best coaching institutes.

DTU has a rich campus culture with over 120+ societies and 15+ Technical Teams.

Alumni

There are many alumni of DTU who have made significant contributions in various fields.

Here are a few examples:

• Vijay Shekhar Sharma, Founder of Paytm
• Praveen Sinha: Co-Founder Jabong.com
• Ravi Grover: Director, Homi Bhabha National Institute. Ex- principal Adviser to Dept. of Atomic Energy, India. 
• Durjoy Datta: Bestselling author
• Raghbir Singh Bhola: Arjuna Award winner, Olympian.
• Sachin Garg: Author
• Subhav Sinha: Inventor
• Niketan Madhok : Supermodel
• Krishnan Ganesh: Founder - TutorVista
• Sushant Singh Rajput: actor

Placements 

DTU has a great placement scenario and the table below is a testament to the same. The highest CTC was offered by Palantir followed by Amazon.

Ultimately, the choice of the program depends on your area of interest as both institutes are comparable and will offer similar opportunities. 

DTU and NSIT are the best options among these, with great placement records and academics. These are counted among the top-tier technological institutes in the country. The type of exposure you will get at these institutes will not only help in performing well in academics but also help develop confidence. DTU placements 2022 shows the average CTC to be around INR 15.31 LPA. According to NSIT placement highlights of recent years, the median CTC offered is around INR 13 LPA. 

SRM, and Manipal don’t belong to the same tier as DTU and NSIT.
