IIT Delhi Departments and Schools

Yes, for most students at IIT Delhi, hostel fees are included in the overall fee structure and are typically compulsory for those living on campus. The following charges are included in the overall fee structure:

• Hostel seat rent (varies based on old/new/AC/non-AC hostels)
• Mess charges (covering food and related costs)
• One-time charges (such as deposits and non-refundable fees)
• Refundable security deposit

If you live with your parents within 12 km of IIT Delhi, you may apply for exemption from hostel fees, but the institute must formally approve this. Otherwise, hostel fees are mandatory for all students staying on campus.

The IIT Delhi Master of Public Policy (MPP) program is a two-year postgraduate course focusing on science, technology, innovation, and development. The program has a strong placement record.                                                                                                       

Sectors:

• 47% in think tanks and research organizations
• 21% in consulting
• 16% in government roles
• 16% in other sectors (including digital economy, energy, and climate change)

The median salary reported was INR 17 lakh per annum for recent batches. Other sources cite average packages between INR 10–12 lakh per annum, with the highest packages reported as higher.

Both IIT Hyderabad Artificial Intelligence and IIT Delhi Mathematics and Computing are excellent courses. Of the two, choosing MNC at IIT Delhi is slightly better because: 

• The NIRF ranking of IIT Delhi is 2, while that of IIT Hyderabad is 9.
• IIT Delhi was established in 1961, while IIT Hyderabad was established in 2008. Therefore, IIT Delhi has a stronger alumni network and a better reputation.
• Mathematics and computing revolves around both mathematics and computer science, which opens more diverse job opportunities for students.

If you have a specific inclination towards AI, the IIT Hyderabad AI course will treat you well. But if your interest lies in Math and Computer Science, or you wish to gain an overall better exposure, I would recommend you join Mathematics and Computing at IIT Delhi. 

IIT Delhi is consistently ranked among the top engineering institutions in India. Its brand name will significantly improve your employment prospects after graduation. Moreover, the ‘IIT’ tag will be beneficial if you apply for higher education in foreign universities in the near future. 

The Chemical Engineering program at IIT Delhi is known for its rigorous curriculum.

The department has state-of-the-art facilities and top industry collaborations. This allows the students to gain excellent research exposure. Moreover, the placements at IIT Delhi are better than those at IIT Indore due to the former’s strong industry connections. 

Chemical Engineering graduates from IIT Delhi find job opportunities in diverse sectors including petrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, environmental engineering, and even in finance and consulting. IIT Delhi's vast and influential alumni network can be invaluable for your career growth.

Here’s a comparison between IIT Delhi and IIT Indore for your reference:

Due to the various reasons listed above, I would recommend you choose Chemical Engineering at IIT Delhi over CSE at IIT Indore. 

I am a Civil Engineering student at IIT Delhi. 

Even though CoE/ CSE/ IT are much more sought after by students in the present times, I would choose Civil at IIT Delhi over CoE at NSUT. 

Here are the reasons for the same:

• The faculty at IIT Delhi is much more experienced and learned than that at NSUT.
• IIT Delhi was established in 1961, while NSUT in 1983. Because of this, IIT Delhi has a stronger alumni network.
• IIT Delhi is a globally recognized brand, while NSUT is usually only known to students of North India. The “IIT” brand is immensely helpful when applying to foreign universities for higher studies. 
• Although civil freshers are rarely in demand, a civil engineer with enough work experience, the right set of skills, and great project accomplishments is paid a high salary.

These are the 2023 placement figures for both these institutions:

Unfortunately, the branch-wise placement detail is not available for both these institutes.   

However, based on the various reasons listed above, I would recommend you choose IIT Delhi Civil Engineering over NSUT CoE.

Both IIT Delhi and IIIT Bangalore are highly renowned engineering institutions in India. Each of them has its own strengths and weaknesses. Here’s a comparison between both of them:

IIT Delhi is a part of the prestigious IITs. This is not just a national, but a global brand name. IIIT Bangalore focuses on IT and related fields. It has strong ties with the IT industry, especially in Bangalore's tech hub. 

If you're primarily interested in IT and computer science, IIIT Bangalore is a great option. But for streams outside IT, IIT Delhi is better. Moreover, IIT Delhi has an edge in terms of prestige and recognition.

While IIIT Bangalore is a top institution for Computer Science and IT, IIT Delhi has an unparalleled reputation in more than one specialisation of engineering. I would
