Which is better, EE at DTU or ICE at NSIT?
There is no better branch between EE at DTU and ICE at NSIT. It's all about preferences and inclinations. To help you make an informed decision let's talk about both the branches individually
EE at DTU
- EE at DTU is core electrical engineering wherein you are taught concepts related to power, grids, electrical machines, etc.
- For placements, core companies like BHEL and companies in the energy field visit the campus.
ICE at NSIT
- This branch has Control Engineering concepts along with electrical, electronics, and computer engineering.ICE has very light coursework and it's easy to maintain a good CGPA.
- You also get enough time for your passions and extracurriculars.
- IT giants like Facebook, Google, etc. Don't allow ICE students to sit for placements.
- Core companies that recruit students of this branch include Qualcomm, Texas Instruments, and others.
- Non-tech companies like BCG, Bain, and JPMC allow all students to sit for placements.
- NSIT has a larger batch size and thus the competition here is less than DTU for placements but it still it cannot match the brand value of DTU.
In all, both DTU and NSIT have similar opportunities and placements so with the right mindset you can do well at both colleges.

Which branch should I choose: B.Tech (Electrical Engineering) in IIT Roorkee or Dual Degree (Electrical Engineering) in IIT Kharaghpur?
According to me, B.Tech (Electrical engineering) from IIT Roorkee is a better option due to the following reasons:
- B.Tech electrical engineering is a 4 year program while dual degree (electrical engineering) is a five year program. This means that choosing IIT Roorkee will help you enter the workforce earlier.
- The B.Tech curriculum focuses equally on theoretical and practical learning. This will prepare you for industry roles.
On the other hand, the dual degree curriculum gives more importance to research and specialisation in electrical engineering.
- Here are the 2023 placement figures for IIT Roorkee and IIT KGP:
| Parameters | IIT KGP (Phase-I) | IIT Roorkee |
|---|---|---|
| Highest Package | INR 2.6 CPA | INR 1.3 CPA (Highest International- INR 1.06 CPA) |
| Top Recruiters (2024) | OLA, OneByZero, SecPod, SIRION LABS, TCS Research, and others. | American Express, Barclays, Chegg Inc, Flipkart, Google, Microsoft, Myntra, and more. |
Unfortunately, the branch-wise placements are not available for either of these IITs.
I would recommend you choose B.Tech Electrical at IIT Roorkee over Dual Degree in Electrical at IIT KGP due to the above reasons.
What should I take, electrical engineering at IIT Delhi or CSE at BITS Pilani?
IIT Delhi and BITS Pilani are two highly reputed institutions for engineering studies in India. I am a second year B.Tech Electrical student at IIT Delhi. During my time, I was faced with a similar dilemma. But I ended up choosing IIT Delhi over BITS Pilani for my studies.
I would recommend you choose Electrical Engineering at IIT Delhi over CSE at BITS Pilani because of these reasons:
- Brand Value: IIT Delhi carries the prestigious “IIT'' tag which holds more brand value than the “BITS Pilani'' tag. This will become important to you when applying to foreign universities for your higher education.
- Fees: As a government institution, the fees of IIT Delhi is much more affordable as compared to BITS Pilani. This in turn, gives IIT Delhi a higher position in ROI (Return on Investment) because it offers even better placements.
Here are the important comparisons between Electrical Engineering at IIT Delhi and CSE at BITS Pilani:
|

- Competition: Electrical Engineering has better-ranking students than Electrical (Power and Automation). Thus the former has better competition than the latter. Someone who is among the top 10 in Electrical is among the top 2-3 in Electrical Power and Automation.
IIT Delhi Electrical Engineering offers slightly more opportunities in terms of peer quality and placements than the other.
Which is better: IIT Gandhinagar, other new IIT electrical, or BITS Pilani electrical and electronics?
IIT Gandhinagar is a better choice for Electrical Engineering than choosing BITS Pilani for Electrical and Electronics.
- IIT Gandhinagar is a relatively new institution but has grown in popularity due to the excellent academic standards and research facilities that it has to offer for students.
- IIT Gandhinagar provides a BTech full-time undergraduate program, the average course fee for the first year is INR 2.29 Lakhs.

Which is better at DTU, Electrical Engineering or Mechanical Engineering?
If you are interested in the Mechanical branch, you should definitely go for DTU Mechanical. DTU has one of the best Mechanical departments in the country. There are many tech teams and societies for the branch. Tech teams such as Defianz Racing, AUV DTU, UAS DTU, etc. even participated in competitions of international levels and won.
The placement records are also good for the branch. Many PSUs frequently visit the campus placement to recruit students. The highlights of DTU Mechanical Engineering placements show the average package to be INR 7 LPA. ONGC, Mahindra, etc. are among the top recruiting companies.
IIT Madras electrical engineering or IIT Delhi electrical engineering, which is the best?
Unless you are considering IIT Delhi because of its location advantage, IIT Madras is the best option. No one ever leaves IIT Madras disappointed. Another factor people consider is the environment provided by the Institute. Most North Indians consider the culture at IIT Madras way different and thus end up losing focus and motivation. If you are affected by such elements, choose the Institute you think will have a culture and people similar to your tastes.
Many North Indians are settling well in IIT Madras and ending up in the top 5% of the batch. So what matters is that the Institute you are choosing should provide the kind of environment that motivates you to learn and excel.
You will face tremendous competition and thus you will have to stay focussed and motivated to do well in that kind of environment. It is extremely necessary to choose the right environment for you as you will be spending 4 years of your life there.
Thus if a certain Institute, for instance, IIT Madras has more facilities than IIT Delhi but you stay among average students in IIT Madras but among the top 5% in IIT Delhi, then the right option for you is IIT Delhi.
