Delhi Technological University (DTU) and MNNIT Allahabad have numerous opportunities for the students opting to do civil engineering. DTU has an upstanding ranking record as it was ranked at #2 in Best Technological Universities in India by Times Engineering Survey and #34 by NIRF. MNNIT on the other hand was ranked at #14 in the Top Public colleges in India 2020 by India today and #19 for B.Tech in India 2019 by The Week.
A comparison is presented below to explain the factors to be considered while choosing civil engineering course from these two universities:

When it comes to placement and scholarship opportunities, DTU does have a certain edge and MNNIT has an edge in terms of lower course fees. But eventually, all the factors relevant in an individual case need to be analyzed before selecting in between these two universities.
DTU is ranked at 36 amongst all engineering colleges in India by NIRF 2020. MAIT is ranked at 89 by the week for BTech.
The Engineering Physics program at DTU is related to applied physics and has electronics as a major subject and minor electives which include Nanoscience, Nuclear engineering, Photonics, space, and atmospheric science, etc. Whereas,EEE strictly focuses on electrical subjects and excludes minor electives.

Engineering Physics and EEE are two completely different branches of engineering. The former has more opportunities for higher studies and DTU offers great exposure for that. Many students went on to pursue MS in Ivy League Universities from the course. Whereas EEE has better placement. You should choose the course you are more interested in and the institute according to that.
If you are sure about your interest in CSE, DTU is the best option for you. However, if you are yet to identify your area of interest then go through the following parameters
Once you are sure of your inclination making a decision won’t seem so difficult!
The hostel life in Delhi's top colleges such as IIT Delhi, NSIT, and DTU is generally considered to be full of roller coaster experiences. You get to interact with such a mixed crowd for the first time in your life and almost everyone here is a genius.
Your most precious memory when you will leave the college will be munching Maggie at the Maggie Baba around 3 in the morning with your friends or playing cricket at 12 midnight. You will miss the Friday night hangouts in lounges and clubs. Girls however suffer because of the curfew effective right at 9 pm. The hostels add to the overall college life experience and if you aren’t staying at a hostel, you are missing out on a lot of fun.
The primary step even before deciding on the Institute is to determine which field, or branch appeals to you to the extent that you want to spend the rest of your life in that field. Once you have done that, the next step is to research which Institute specializes in that field.
Lastly, I will suggest you go for IIT Delhi without much hesitation as it is a complete package, with the much coveted IIT tag, the best faculties, labs, and other amenities.
Top engineering colleges like IIT Delhi, NSIT, School of Planning and Architecture, Delhi, College of Art, Delhi, and even the famous Faculty of Management Studies have branched out from DCE. Major differences between these Engineering institutes include
Ultimately students prefer IITs over other engineering colleges mainly because they are government bodies and have earned global recognition.
I don’t think anyone choosing IIT Delhi over any other engineering college has made a wrong decision given the opportunities and life experiences that come with it. While both are crucial, your choice of Institute is more important than your branch.
Here is a friend's journey for your reference l was a BTech student (Civil) at IIT BHU with a rank of 3600.
This journey of a 7-pointer Civil Branch student to a high-tech CS company proves that branch does not matter in the end. He made the most of his campus life and kept struggling to switch his branch and eventually succeeded. That being said, you have made the right decision as only IIT Delhi can give you the right set of opportunities and exposure and not DTU.
Between NIT Jalandhar Mechanical Engineering and DTU MAM, the latter is the better option. This is because the placements for DTU mechanical are excellent. Some of the most reputed firms that visit the campus are Bajaj, Volvo, Daimler-Benz, Brahmos Aerospace, Technip, Schlumberger, Caterpillar, etc. Most of my friends from the same branch were able to secure amazing packages at top firms.
The learning process at DTU is more extensive. It has a lot of Mechanical Engineering teams which can help you know your branch better.
So choose DTU over NIT.
There is nothing such as a better college. It all depends on where you want to see yourself 10 years from now. But considering the current scenario, DTU is ahead of NIT Jalandhar.
Being located in the capital, the environment and culture at DTU are better. You will also get to avail better facilities here.
You can prepare for TOFEL, CAT, UPSC for which the college institutes in Delhi are best.
Apart from this, the placement scenarios are equally good at both colleges. The only thing better at NIT Jalandhar is its tag.
You should take Electrical Engineering at DTU. It is good in terms of placements, and career opportunities offered. Many core and IT companies take part in DTU placements. The average package offered to the students of EE is around INR 7.5 - 8.5 LPA. While the highest CTC offered goes up to around INR 50-55 LPA. Amazon, BCG, Google, Uber, PwC, etc. takes part in the placement drive.
