Question

Divya Das · Accepted Answer

So, you're wondering whether to pick Mechanical at DTU or ECE at NIT Delhi, right? Honestly, ECE at NIT Delhi isn't that great. If you really want to stay in Delhi, IIIT Delhi would be a much better option. You could also try for CSE at other NITs or check out colleges like PEC, IIIT, or YMCA.

Here’s a quick comparison:

Category	NIT Delhi	DTU
Average CTC	7.5 LPA	8-9 LPA
Course Fee	3.21 lakhs	7.81 lakhs

Infrastructure:

NIT Delhi is new, so it doesn't have its own campus yet. Facilities are pretty limited. The hostels aren't great either, with connectivity issues and being far from campus. It’s not really comparable to other colleges.

Placements:

Being new, NIT Delhi's placements aren't as strong as other NITs or colleges like PEC Chandigarh or IIIT Delhi. IIIT Delhi has better placements because their departments are more established.

Coding Culture:

The coding environment at NIT Delhi isn't as good as other colleges. IIIT Delhi has better coding facilities.

Class Schedule:

The schedule is super hectic, with classes from 9:30 to 5:30 and only an hour break. Plus, you'll waste a lot of time traveling since the hostels are far away.

Faculty:

The faculty at NIT Delhi aren't as experienced compared to IIIT Delhi.

If you're into CS and want lots of opportunities, go for IIIT Delhi or another NIT. ECE at NIT Delhi is weaker than CSE there. Between your choices, DTU Mechanical is the better bet.

Its a Question about your future!
