I had the same choice in front of me a few years back. As a student of DTU, I can present before you some pros of choosing it over IIIT Delhi for CSE. These are-
- DTU will provide you with ample time to explore your interests. These can be anything- coding, dancing, music, sports, drama, etc.
- You’ll have less academic pressure. With one to two hours of routine self-study, you can score good grades.
- You’ll have more time and energy for GATE, CAT, or GRE preparation.
- You’ll get excellent peers and a large and lush green campus. The campus is spread across 164 acres.
- DTU has great fests. These are- Engifest (cultural), Aahvaan (sports), Yuvaan (Literary), and Invictus (Technical). You’ll also enjoy DJ nights at the campus.
- It has a strong alumni network and brand value.
However, the CSE curriculum at IIIT Delhi is more up-to-date. Also, as DTU has a huge number of students for CSE, the competition is high.
Despite these cons, I believe DTU CSE is a better choice. But your decision should be based on your personal preferences.
