You should choose DTU Civil. It offers better placement and exposure. DTU is among the leading technological institute in the country with a legacy of 50+ years. You can learn to code, irrespective of your branch. If you have decent coding skills, you can easily get decent job opportunities in the IT sector through campus placements. Your branch will not be an obstacle. DTU placements 2022 had witnessed the highest CTC of INR 1.2 Crore per annum.
Delhi Technological University (DTU) and MNNIT Allahabad have numerous opportunities for the students opting to do civil engineering. DTU has an upstanding ranking record as it was ranked at #2 in Best Technological Universities in India by Times Engineering Survey and #34 by NIRF. MNNIT on the other hand was ranked at #14 in the Top Public colleges in India 2020 by India today and #19 for B.Tech in India 2019 by The Week.

If I was in your place and had to choose between the aforementioned institutes, I would set my preference order as follows
NSIT IT >= DTU IT > DTU SE > MNNIT CSE
The reason I have placed NSIT and DTU in the first place is because of their location in the capital city. This opens multiple doors of opportunities and exposure that might not be available in other colleges. Also, the quality of students these colleges attract is top notch and you will end up befriending some of the most genius minds.
However, if you are passionate about programming and CS, then choose IIIT Delhi because its curriculum and overall ambiance are CS oriented. The research culture and facilities here are unmatched and students conduct high-end research under the guidance of some great faculty.
Your last option should be MNNIT mainly because of its poor location.
Hope this helped you make a wise decision!
DTU would be a better option for pursuing CSE than MNIT Jaipur or IIIT Allahabad. The reasons to choose DTU over other universities are as follows:
So, whether you're into designing the next big app, engineering groundbreaking solutions, or simply want to make your mark in tech, DTU is your launchpad. It's where your dreams take flight, your passions are nurtured, and your future is crafted.
IIM Indore and Delhi Technical University (DTU) are both very good institutes for their respective courses. The better option among the two will be DTU if the student is not interested in either the Management course or a tech course. A close senior of mine got a choice between DTU IT course and IPM course in IIM Indore and he decided to go with It course in DTU because: -
| Categories | IPM at IIM Indore | B.Tech in CS at DTU |
| Course Fee | 26 lakh | 7.81 lakh |
| Course Duration | 5 years | 4 years |
| Highest CTC | 25-28 LPA | 15-20 LPA |
| Average CTC | 14 LPA | 8-10 LPA |
| Recruiting Companies | ICICI Bank, Nestle, Asian Paints, American Express, etc. | Capgemini, Wipro, Infosys, IBM, etc. |
The IPM course now has been converted into a degree course, But still, students usually prefer the 4-year B.Tech course rather than the 5-year long IPM course. If you want to study management after your class 12, then IPM will be a good option for you.
Below is some information on the three institutes: PEC Chandigarh, NIT Hamirpur, and DTU:
PEC Chandigarh:
Based on the above factors, PEC Chandigarh should be given a rating of 8 out of 10.
NIT Hamirpur:
Based on the above factors, NIT Hamirpur should be given a rating of 7 out of 10.
DTU:
Based on the above factors, DTU should be given a rating of 9 out of 10.
Choose the course you are interested in, as it will give you a comfort zone, once chosen the institute does not matter much.
If you are able to secure a seat in DTU, it should not be hard to get admission in a better college. So, you should try exploring other colleges preferably in the metros for the ease of networking and employment opportunities. Isolated colleges have their own flaws.
Among the above three, CS at BITS Goa is the best institute to opt for. Agreeing with a few of my friends studying there, I can say that it provides better placements and wider industry exposure.
BITS Goa offers the best curriculum among the three, with no reservation, and offering flexible courses. Through the course, the faculty helps in all sorts of projects and thesis related works. Thought-provoking ideas are extremely encouraged.

Placements (Winning Institute- BITS Goa)
The placement training in BITS Goa is extremely essential and productive. There is an established coding culture in CS, which makes students excel in open source coding more than DTU and PEC students.
The campus culture of BITS Goa is among the top 10 colleges in India. Technical, cultural, and sports fests held here are among the best in the country. BITS Goa is a private college and a newer establishment having the best campus and infrastructure with all the necessary amenities.
Both MNNIT Allahabad and DTU are well-established and much-reputed colleges. If you get admission to any of the colleges, your future will be bright and you will land up really well in companies.
Moreover, choose a branch that excites you as it is equally important as the college you will take admission in. If programming excites you, then MNNIT CSE is the best choice. If not, you can go for hardware options i.e. Electronics. Though, I'm not sure how good the software engineering of DTU is.
In terms of placements and research areas, MNNIT is not extreme but fine. You won’t get excellent faculties but you will learn a lot from their experiences. Try not to be depending on your faculty in your college life. You'll have to develop your interest and learn on your own.
Do not think only about the college but make sure you choose the correct branch as well. Both are equally important as you know that your future will depend on them.
