What should I take a CSE at IIITD or a CSE at IIT Ropar or IIT Dhanbad?
IIT institutions will always have a better tag in terms of reputation and value of degree when it comes to choosing between any other universities. Although IIT Patna and IIT Dhanbad are fairly new branches of IIT, the services and quality of education is rapidly improving and has become almost equivalent to some of the old IIT institutes.
Faculty at IIITD is much better than the IITs but one of my friends opted for IIT Patna seeing the ‘IIT’ tag. The CSE branch is constantly improving every year and choosing an IIT campus will ensure a diverse, highly academic and comparatively better peer group to be part of.
The table below shows a brief overview of the institutes:

Features:
IIT Dhanbad and IIT Ropar offer much better campus with modern infrastructure, updated lab facilities, excellent faculty members, huge library resources, good hostel facilities and more.
Student Life:
IIT campuses are clearly known for conducting the best extra-curricular activities and events. They conduct cultural fests, workshops and seminars as part of the teaching module and also have multiple inter-disciplinary activities across the semester.
Branches:
- IIT campuses offer a higher number of branch specializations and also offers programs in niche subjects, which gives students more options to choose from based on their choice of study.
- The institutions are backed by research facilities to encourage students to take up research as part of their module if preferred.
Placements:
- The placements at IIT are much more diverse in terms of number of companies and types of companies that take part.
- They offer much more job opportunities with core companies within the CSE department.
- Some of the top recruiters are Amazon, Capgemini and Adobe.
Therefore, given a choice, students must choose to opt for an IIT campus as compared to IIITD. Delhi has an advantage due to its location but IITs surpasses all the factors.
Are IIIT Allahabad and IIIT Delhi better than NIT K, W, T (comparing CS and IT)?
If you had specified the parameters on which you are judging the institute, it would have been easier to answer the question. In terms of quality of education, the two IIITs are better than the three NITs.
Given below is a brief comparison of the institutes based on various parameters. You can make your decision based on that.
Faculty:(IIIT Delhi > Top NITs ~ IIIT Allahabad)
IIIT Delhi has the best faculty. Even top NITs don’t come close to IIIT Delhi in terms of faculty.
Campus Life: (Top 3 NITs > IIIT Allahabad > IIIT Delhi)
The top 3 NITs offer better campus life. As compared to NITs the workload of IIIT Delhi is too much. IIIT Delhi also does not have as many clubs and societies as top NITs. NIT campuses are also bigger in comparison.
Hostels: (Winning Institute - IIIT Delhi)
- IIIT Delhi has better hostel facilities as compared to any other Govt. college or even some IITs for that matter. In summer you will get air conditioning and a heater in winter at IIIT Delhi. There are also sports facilities like Foosball and Swimming Pool, etc.
- Other facilities available at IIIT Delhi are quite similar to that of NITs and IIIT Allahabad.
Placements: (IIIT Delhi ~ Top NITs ~ IIIT Allahabad)
In terms of placements, IIIT Delhi matches the placement statistics of top NITs. A student of IIIT Delhi has recently secured a placement package of 1.45 Crore. The average package of the institute mentioned in the question is around 15-17 lakhs (for CSE).
Location: (IIIT Delhi > Top 3 NITs ~ IIIT Allahabad)
- IIIT Delhi enjoys the benefit of being situated in the capital. The city life, start-up culture, and many internship opportunities are some of the perks of attending IIIT Delhi.
- Whereas, the top 3 NITs are situated in small cities. IIIT Allahabad is also located in Prayagraj, which does not offer a good city life or enough exposure.
But whether you will like the campus or not depends on your background. If you are from South India, life in Delhi or Prayagraj may not be that appealing and vice versa.
Reputation & Alumni Base: (Top 3 NITs > IIIT Delhi > IIIT Allahabad)
- The top NITs have more recognition among the recruiting companies due to their legacy. IIIT Delhi is a fairly new establishment in comparison. Even though it is growing at a rapid pace, it is still up to the standard of the top NITs.
- The alumni base of the top 3 NITs is also better due to the same reason.
If you are genuinely interested in coding, you should choose IIIT Delhi or IIIT Allahabad. Otherwise don’t go for IIITs.
How is an M.Tech from IIIT Delhi (ECE)?
The crowd for M.Tech ECE at IIIT Delhi usually comprises those students from tier 2 and 3 colleges who aren’t placed after their B.Tech. These students join the M.Tech program with the sole purpose of getting placed. They lack proper knowledge of the subjects for which they are chosen as TAs.
As TAs, they aren’t very helpful. Only some of them bother to solve students’ queries. The crowd lacks dedication and proper knowledge. The cooperation among themselves is weak too.
Basically, the course is decent. However, the peer group for M.Tech ECE isn’t up to the mark at IIIT Delhi.
Which is better, CSE or CSAI in IIIT Delhi?
IIIT Delhi offers both electives and mandatory courses. Students are at freedom to make a choice in case of electives while there is no such choice in mandatory courses.
Now, the best part of the CSE branch at IIIT Delhi is that it has the maximum elective slots of any other branch. So, students get to choose electives from a wide range of courses like
- AI
- Systems
- Security
- Design
- Electronics
- Economics
CSE will offer more academic flexibility than CSAI. CSAI will have some mandatory AI electives which might be beneficial if you are interested in the field. Also, you won’t have to study useless courses and can focus on AI. However, you will be restricted to the AI field, unlike CSE which gives you enough flexibility to pursue the field of your choice. Unless you are certain of your interest in AI, it’s best to choose CSE.
Which should my daughter choose, a CSE from IGDTUW or a ECE from NSIT/DTU/IIIT Delhi?
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.
Which college should I choose for CS between IIIT Delhi, IIIT Allahabad, BIT Mesra and NIT Surat?
You should choose IIIT Allahabad. In terms of academics, infrastructure and placements, it is ahead of the other institutes mentioned here. IIIT Allahabad alumni network is huge. Alumni of the institute are working at the higher echelons of the industry. The networking opportunities are plenty.
IIIT Allahabad placements have been great in recent years. For placements 2022 the average CTC offered was INR 19 LPA.
Why is CSE at IIITD considered better than CSE at NSIT?
NSUT Delhi is known for its COE (Computer Engineering) course.
The COE course is different from CSE. In COE, you will study hardware, electronics & signals, and codes & algorithms. Unlike CSE, software is not the main focus of study in COE.
Now as far as a comparison between them is considered, IIITD has a much better teaching environment than NSUT Delhi. Though it also has an experienced faculty, you will mainly be taught by Ph.D. students during the first two years.
Unlike before, however, the NSUT Delhi curriculum has been updated. There is now a CBCS (Choice Based Credit System) and you won’t have to compulsorily study unnecessary subjects. Both institutes have a pretty good placement record. Although the COE branch concerns itself more with hardware, students get placed majorly in software profiles.
All I can say is that NSUT Delhi has now an updated curriculum and a university status. On the other hand, IIITD is a comparatively new player in this field that is also performing quite well. Thus, both institutions are a good choice to pursue your computer studies.
I have completed high school and want to pursue a CSE Degree. Which one should I choose amongst Jadavpur University, IIIT-Delhi, and IIEST (formerly Bengal Science and Engineering College)?
JU is the best option among IIIT Delhi and IIEST for CSE. Although JU is way better than IIEST in CSE placements, it is slightly behind IIIT Delhi. IIIT-D has slightly better CSE placements. But JU offers an excellent ROI which makes it the most favourable option among these colleges. Moreover, its faculty is highly experienced and learned with many Ph.D. holders in just a single department. Here are some other reasons why you should consider joining JU
- It's the only University or Institute in India to host an international cricket team.
- The institute has excellent sports facilities including a swimming pool, a tennis court, and an artificial wall for mountaineering and hiking.
- The institute has an active club culture with many academically and athletically oriented clubs. Some of the unique clubs are the Science Club, Mountaineering and Hiking Club, Photography, Debate Society, and many more.
- It was the first institute to receive TEQIP funding from the World Bank in India
- It is an Innovation University and so is eligible for more monetary grants.
- 6. It has more centers of excellence in research than the number of UG branches offered at IIIT-D or IIEST.
- It's expected to become the center of research in Eastern India
- The ROI offered is high. Its fees are as low as INR 10,000 for the first year, while the highest package offered last year was INR 1.8 CPA.
All these points sum up the fact that JU is an excellent choice for a CSE degree.
What should I choose between IIIT Delhi (Indraprastha), LNMIIT Jaipur & Thapar University Patiala?
IIIT Delhi is clearly the best choice out of the three options especially if we are talking about CSE. Your preference order should be the following.
IIIT Delhi (Indraprastha) > Thapar University > LNMIIT Jaipur
Cutoff: (IIIT D > Thapar University)
The quality of the students also has an effect on how the college performs and also in its rankings. The cutoff for CSE at IIIT Delhi is around 200-225+. Thapar University admits students with JEE Mains marks more than 170 for students’ outside Punjab and 150 marks for students from Punjab. The cutoff indicates IIIT D offers a better peer group.
Placements:
- In terms of placements and internships, IIIT Delhi tops the list. The avg. package for the CSE branch in IIIT Delhi is around 15 lakhs per annum.
- Overall avg package in Thapar University is around 8 lakhs per annum and for CSE Branch is around 10 lakhs per annum with a placement rate of 94 percent.
- In LNMIIT Jaipur the avg packages are around 6 lakhs per annum.
Thpar has a great coding culture. However, based on student crowd, placements, etc. the best option among the given choices is IIITD.
I got 192 in JEE Mains and 96% in CBSE Delhi board. What are my chances for IIIT Delhi?
Considering your great JEE Main marks and percentage in the CBSE Delhi board, you have a high chance of making it to IIIT Delhi. A close friend had a similar profile and was able to join IIIT Delhi last year. He claimed his passion for CSE to be the sole reason he chose the institute over better-reputed ones. It's the best college if you are genuinely interested in CS and want to learn. Moreover, it’s a research-oriented institute so if you are a research enthusiast, you will find the best resources and facilities here.
I will suggest you choose IIIT Delhi over NSIT and DTU because it has been developing at a fast pace and will soon rank better than these colleges.
