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.

Placements of Software Engineering at DTU and Communications engineering at NSIT: 

Therefore, according to the placement averages and top companies that visit the college, Software engineering from Delhi technical university seems like a viable option. There is a wide wage gap that we can see in the tables mentioned above. Also, most of my batch mates also feels that software engineering in DTU is a better option as compared to ECE in NSIT.
