How is instrumentation and control at NSIT - infrastructure, faculty, course content, scope, placement and research opportunities?
Here is all the information about ICE at NSUT Delhi-
- Faculty - The ICE faculty is a mixed bag. There are some teachers who teach really well and their classes are enjoyable. However, there are some strict ones as well. Some do not care about their subject or the students at all.
- Coursework - The ICE coursework is fine and gives you ample time to pursue your interests.
- Infrastructure - NSUT Delhi has undergone infrastructural changes recently. This is because it has gained University status. The college library is centrally air-conditioned. ICE shares most of its labs with the Electronics and Computers branches. The labs are well-equipped.
- Placements - Placements are less as compared to COE/IT branches. Few companies offer jobs to ICE students, especially for Core job profiles. Generally, DRs and people with exceptional profiles are placed in ICE. Internship offers are also less for this department.
- Research- ICE students are actively involved in research work. The ICE faculty encourages students to participate in research. Students also work under DTU, IIT Delhi, and IIIT Delhi teachers. ICE students work on around 3-4 projects while at NSUT Delhi.
- Scope - ICE students drift from their core stream to a programming job or an MBA. Some also prepare for an MS.
This is all the information about the ICE branch at NSIT Delhi.
Which is better: IT from NSIT, IT from DTU, or CSE from IIIT Delhi?
IT from NSIT is the best option among these.
- The student crowd is brilliant. It has a small batch size compared to DTU. So, you will face less competition.
- NSIT has an amazing pool of faculties. You will get to learn from excellent faculty members like Sangeeta Sabharwal and MPS Bhatia.
- NSIT IT placements are better than DTU and IIIT D. DTU has a better placement record for core branches. While NSIT offers better placements opportunities to CS and IT students. In the recent placement drive, the average CTC for IT at NSIT was INR 6 LPA.
- Companies like Facebook, Google hire students from NSIT from their US offices.
- Major consulting and non-tech companies like Bain, BCG, ZS Associates, etc. also visit the campus placements.
IIIT Delhi has an excellent research culture and professors from top universities like Carnegie Mellon. So, if you are interested in research, you should choose IIIT D. Overall IT from NSIT is the best option in terms of academics and placements.
What are the criteria for a branch upgradation at DTU, NSIT, and IIITD?
Instead of branch upgradation, I would like to call it branch change/ transfer. As an alumnus of IIITD, I can tell you about the procedure for branch change in my college-
- CSE, ECE, CSAM, CSS, CSD, and CSB are the six branches available for branch transfer.
- Because some courses start differing from 2nd semester onwards, the transfer takes place after semester 1.
- After semester 1, the admin office sends a notification to all the students along with a form in which they can highlight the branch to which they want to get transferred.
- Your JEE Main rank plays no role during the branch transfer. Instead, your CGPA decides your fate. Few courses, however, have a grade requirement (B- or above accordingly).
- Every branch can see an influx/ outflux of 10% of its original strength. For example, if CSE originally had 120 students, 12 can enter it and/or leave it for that batch.
This is the process for branch transfer at IIITD. I would suggest you also talk to the seniors and refer to the official website of IIITD to see if any new changes have been made to this procedure.
Also, to find out about branch changes at NSUT Delhi or DTU, I would recommend you talk to the alumni and administration of both these colleges.
Which is better NSIT IT or NIT Kurukshetra CS?
A lot of factors need to be considered while choosing one between NSIT IT and NIT Kurukshetra CS. If you are someone who wants a happening and vibrant campus life, and also an active social life at clubs, malls, water parks, and all that, you need to go for NSIT Delhi because the capital has a lot of such places. It will be difficult to have a fun-filled life at NIT Kurukshetra. However, the outside life does not matter much because you will hardly have any free time to hang out. So it’s not the only criteria you should consider.
The placement scenario of both the institutes is somewhat similar and almost every company that visits NSIT visits NITK as well.A few times NSIT students did receive exceptionally good packages but that happens rarely. Overall, there isn’t much difference in terms of packages and job opportunities.

The academic environment at both the institutes is great and both have excellent and some diametrically opposite professors. NIT Kurukshetra has a better coding culture. This is because there is no outside life so the majority of students spend time in hostels resulting in intense competition among them.
What is the best DTU maths and computing or NSIT instrumentation?
Both the Delhi Technological University DTU Department of Mathematics and Computing and NSIT Department of Instrumentation and Control Engineering are well-respected institutions with strong programs in their respective fields. Choosing one between the two will depend on your personal interests and career goals.
- MCE at DTU is very similar to COE, whereas ICE at NSIT is a combination of both COE and Electronics.
- MCE lays down a strong foundation for Maths that is an indispensable part of Computer Science.
- If you are looking for hefty placements, ICE isn’t a good option.
Ultimately, the final choice depends on your preferences.
How does DTU and NSIT compare with IITs?
DTU and NSUT aren’t even close to the top IITs at least now. Earlier, DTU was quite comparable to IIT Roorkee but ever since it has been converted to a university, it has lost its charm. However, DTU and NSUT are still among the top 10 colleges in India and are better than some IITs. Here are a few things that make these two colleges inferior to IITs
- The reservation policy for Delhi people is over 85% which hampers the peer group quality and diversity to a large extent.
- The faculty pool comprises below-average professors who have no interest in teaching or encouraging research work.
- Lastly, the administration of the college is pathetic.
So here is what I would recommend you
- For CS/IT : OLD IITs>IIITH>NSUT Delhi>DTU>Top 3 NITs>New IITs
- For other branches: Old IITs>DTU>NSUT Delhi>Top 3 NITs>New IITs
If you want to pursue research, then consider joining IIITs or IITs instead of NSUT Delhi or DTU.
Do non-CS students from IIT/BITS/NSIT/DTU/IIIT get programming jobs at top companies?
Programming is a field anyone can opt for provided they have the skills and the knowledge. Irrespective of the branch, engineering students are exposed to programming to a certain extent and thus have the skills for an IT job. Non-cs students can get jobs in top companies like Google, Amazon Microsoft, etc. if they are well-versed with algorithms. Even average students get placed in the IT department of companies like Flipkart, Snapdeal, Myntra, Tower Research, Shopclues, Delhivery, Jabong, and many other good startups like Grabhouse and Flatfurnish, etc.
So whether you can join it or not depends on whether you are interested in it and can pursue it long term as your career. If you don’t have a genuine interest the field may tire you out after a while and even the money you make won’t satisfy you. If you think you won’t be able to join because you lack the skills then rest assured, that is certainly not the case. IT Companies hire IITians for sure based on analytical skills only.
Hope this helps you!
What rank do I need in the JEE Mains for getting admission in NSIT?
First of all, congratulations for aiming to pursue your B.Tech from NSUT Delhi. It is a top Engineering institution. However, it is a bit difficult to get into NSUT Delhi. It has an 85% reservation for Delhi NCT candidates. So if you haven’t completed your +2 from Delhi, getting in may get tougher.
You can check the JEE Mains 2023 cutoffs for admission into NSUT Delhi.
The cutoffs differ for OS and HS candidates, and also for candidates from different categories. Some seats are also reserved for female candidates.
The cutoffs vary according to the branch. I would recommend you check this year’s cutoffs and prepare hard accordingly.
Is NSIT ECE a wise choice over NSIT IT? What is the average and highest package offered to the students of these branches in NSIT?
Whether the choice is wise or not depends upon your personal interests. ECE is a better choice if electronics interests you. IT would prove better if you are into coding, technology, and computers, and wish to work in this field.
During 2022 B.Tech placements, the overall median package at NSUT Delhi stood at INR 16 LPA. The ECE branch has access to almost all the tech companies during NSUT Delhi placements. Whereas, IT students can’t sit for core companies. However, some top coding companies do not allow other branches except COE and IT to sit for their placements.
Like any other college, tech companies visit NSUT Delhi in greater numbers. But ECE students learn coding and are easily placed in brands like Facebook, Google, etc. The highest and average packages for IT are better than those for ECE. However, the ECE also has a greater number of students.
Right now, I would suggest you focus more on your interests than the placements. This is because, with an interest in your field, you will surely land a good job. Your dedication and commitment will play a greater role than your branch in deciding your future.
Which is better to join DTU/NSIT/IIITD or new IITs or BITS Goa/Hyd Dual for CSE?
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.
