I know people from these institutes and based on the conversations I had with them, I will say the preference order should be somewhat like below.

CSE MSIT ~ IT MAIT > ICE Thapar

Since you are considering different branches, it is clear that you don’t have any inclination towards a specific branch or specialization. If it’s true I will suggest don’t go for ICE Thapar. It is a core branch that already has fewer job opportunities in the industry. To score a decent placement at a core company for this branch you will need to be at the top of your class. Else, you are likely to end up in mass recruiting companies or software companies.

So, it will be better to stay in Delhi, it will be cost-effective, you can save up for your postgraduate degree and pursue what is in demand currently.

IPU–CET is the annual university level entrance test conducted by the Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha University (GGSIPU) to induct students to its various undergraduate and postgraduate programs in the affiliated colleges as well as its own schools.

As far as marks are concerned GGSIPU does not reveal the marks but only the ranks of the students. Now, as far as ranks are concerned these are the required cutoffs for CSE in recent years.

These are the ranks of the last round after which admission stops. Aim for a rank lower than that for getting admission in earlier rounds. Also as these are last-round ranks there is very little chance of the ranks getting any lower than that.

MSIT, MAIT, and BVP are all are reputed colleges with their own advantages. The choice depends upon various factors and the one that seems convenient to you. Consider the following points.

• The commutation time is more at MSIT. It is crucial to saving your traveling hours to be productive. You can join if commutation is easy for you.
• MAIT has a casual approach. You need not worry about attendance or internal markings.
• BVP Pune is a strict institute. They look for attendance and internal markings based on your performance. You cannot expect any grace marks or partiality. It has an AC campus.
• Fee and Placement:

After considering the above factors, you can choose the best-fit institute for yourself.

If you are genuinely interested in ECE then you should opt for MAIT. Although from the viewpoint of future prospects, NIT ICE is far better than MAIT ECE.

Deciding Factors: 

• ECE is a core engineering discipline and you need to have good skills to secure decent placement opportunities.
• The reputation of the college and brand name matters for placement.
• There are certain advantages to pursuing a course at NSIT. The brand name has its perks. 
• One other advantage of NSIT is that you can choose to study any subjects from any discipline later on in your course as an elective.
• Also, for immediate placement after graduation, NSIT is the ideal option. 

The table below will give you a brief overview of the two options.

If you want a career in ECE, go for MAIT. Otherwise, NSIT ICE is the better alternative. 

MAIT is a very good college but the coding culture is very bad in this college and there are no such good coding groups in this college either. One of my friends studied here, and this is what he has to say about it.

• People here are more interested in joining drama and dance groups and there are very less students joining coding groups.
• There are some workshops held for python in the college which can be good for beginners but it won't help to get you into a decent level.
• But gradually the scenario is improving and the environment is getting very competitive because of DotC.
• DotC is a coding club where students interact and work together to find solutions to their problems and it also creates a bond between juniors and seniors.
• Because of this group all sorts of GSoC, CodeJam begins from the first year which was not the case earlier.
• The environment of this group is very good and it helps the students to learn and grow.
• Every member of DotC is very helpful and supportive and is very motivated.

Hence, DotC is one such group for coding which can be joined by any student and it's competitive environment really helps the students to learn and grow more.

First of all, both the branches differ a lot from each other. Thus, you need to understand which branch you are inclined to. Also, keep in mind that you can change your field from ECE to CSE but not vice versa. So, choosing CSE can get you an advantage in many ways. My friend is currently studying CSE in MSIT and here’s what his experience says.

Dedicated faculty: Most teachers are well experienced and really enjoy what they teach you. If you have even smallest of the doubts, do not hesitate as they will assist you whenever you need them. Especially in the CSE department, teachers are really cooperative.

Infrastructure: If you visit both MSIT and MAIT, you will find that MAIT has a tad bit better infrastructure.

Location: MSIT definitely has a location advantage as you can find various hangout spots around the institute and even the nearest metro of Janakpuri East is just 5 minutes away. On the other hand, MAIT lacks proximity to metro and hangout spots.

Placements: While both the colleges have great placements, the CSE branch will get you better packages and increased opportunities, like any other college In India.

According to the recent placement data the highest and average CTC offered at MSIT is 47 LPA and 3.6 LPA. For MAIT the average and highest CTC is 3 LPA and 28 LPA.

All in all, both MAIT and MSIT are reputed private colleges of Delhi. The biggest thing that makes the difference here is the branch you choose. No doubt CSE has an upper hand over ECE as mentioned above.
