Which is better in every respect DTU IT, DTU SE, NSIT IT or MNNIT Allahabad CSE?
If I was in your place and had to choose between the aforementioned institutes, I would set my preference order as follows
NSIT IT >= DTU IT > DTU SE > MNNIT CSE
The reason I have placed NSIT and DTU in the first place is because of their location in the capital city. This opens multiple doors of opportunities and exposure that might not be available in other colleges. Also, the quality of students these colleges attract is top notch and you will end up befriending some of the most genius minds.
However, if you are passionate about programming and CS, then choose IIIT Delhi because its curriculum and overall ambiance are CS oriented. The research culture and facilities here are unmatched and students conduct high-end research under the guidance of some great faculty.
Your last option should be MNNIT mainly because of its poor location.
Hope this helped you make a wise decision!
Which should I choose among DTU CSE, MNIT Jaipur CSE, and IIIT Allahabad IT?
DTU would be a better option for pursuing CSE than MNIT Jaipur or IIIT Allahabad. The reasons to choose DTU over other universities are as follows:
- Reputation: DTU is an institution that's ranked 29th among Delhi's top engineering schools. DTU is where the action happens. DTU secured the 7th position in India Today's Best Engineering Government Colleges survey. This does reflect its academic excellence.
- Learning on Your Terms: At DTU, they get it. Learning isn't one-size-fits-all. That's why they're all about flexibility. MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses) and SWAYAM are your go-to buddies for mastering the fundamentals at your own pace.
- Star-Studded Alumni: Vijay Shekar Sharma (founder of Paytm), Suhail Sameer (CEO of Bharat) are DTU alumni.
- Good placement deals: A jaw-dropping INR 1.8 Crore Per Annum (CPA) was the maximum package offered. And on average, graduates are offered about INR 15.16 LPA. Companies both in India and around the world are eager to hire DTU grads.
So, whether you're into designing the next big app, engineering groundbreaking solutions, or simply want to make your mark in tech, DTU is your launchpad. It's where your dreams take flight, your passions are nurtured, and your future is crafted.
Should I take a biotech PCT at DTU or a CSE at Assam University or any other private college? I have a keen interest in computer science but I want a good peer group and a good college life as well.
Choose the course you are interested in, as it will give you a comfort zone, once chosen the institute does not matter much.
- It is good to go for the brand value of universities, as they provide various opportunities later on.
- But you should not choose a branch only for the Institute.
- If you have an area of interest, you can go to any college.
- But it is better to opt for a course in a college which has a bit of a good reputation.
- When you sit for internships or placements, being from a related branch is preferred.
- You should keep all these in mind when you opt for any course anywhere.
If you are able to secure a seat in DTU, it should not be hard to get admission in a better college. So, you should try exploring other colleges preferably in the metros for the ease of networking and employment opportunities. Isolated colleges have their own flaws.
Which is the best option: CS BITS Goa, DTU maths and computing and CS at PEC Chandigarh?
Among the above three, CS at BITS Goa is the best institute to opt for. Agreeing with a few of my friends studying there, I can say that it provides better placements and wider industry exposure.
BITS Goa offers the best curriculum among the three, with no reservation, and offering flexible courses. Through the course, the faculty helps in all sorts of projects and thesis related works. Thought-provoking ideas are extremely encouraged.
The table below states the basic comparison among the above three branches in the specified institutes -

The placement training in BITS Goa is extremely essential and productive. There is an established coding culture in CS, which makes students excel in open source coding more than DTU and PEC students.
- Placement Percentage - 100%
- Average CTC - 22 LPA in CS
- Highest CTC - 50-60 LPA
The campus culture of BITS Goa is among the top 10 colleges in India. Technical, cultural, and sports fests held here are among the best in the country. BITS Goa is a private college and a newer establishment having the best campus and infrastructure with all the necessary amenities.
Which is better: IT from NSIT, IT from DTU, or CSE from IIIT Delhi?
IT from NSIT is the best option among these.
- The student crowd is brilliant. It has a small batch size compared to DTU. So, you will face less competition.
- NSIT has an amazing pool of faculties. You will get to learn from excellent faculty members like Sangeeta Sabharwal and MPS Bhatia.
- NSIT IT placements are better than DTU and IIIT D. DTU has a better placement record for core branches. While NSIT offers better placements opportunities to CS and IT students. In the recent placement drive, the average CTC for IT at NSIT was INR 6 LPA.
- Companies like Facebook, Google hire students from NSIT from their US offices.
- Major consulting and non-tech companies like Bain, BCG, ZS Associates, etc. also visit the campus placements.
IIIT Delhi has an excellent research culture and professors from top universities like Carnegie Mellon. So, if you are interested in research, you should choose IIIT D. Overall IT from NSIT is the best option in terms of academics and placements.
I got an AIR rank of 3964 in the JEE Mains. Which one should I prefer, MNNIT Allahabad for computer science or electronics or DTU for software engineering?
Both MNNIT Allahabad and DTU are well-established and much-reputed colleges. If you get admission to any of the colleges, your future will be bright and you will land up really well in companies.
Moreover, choose a branch that excites you as it is equally important as the college you will take admission in. If programming excites you, then MNNIT CSE is the best choice. If not, you can go for hardware options i.e. Electronics. Though, I'm not sure how good the software engineering of DTU is.
In terms of placements and research areas, MNNIT is not extreme but fine. You won’t get excellent faculties but you will learn a lot from their experiences. Try not to be depending on your faculty in your college life. You'll have to develop your interest and learn on your own.
Do not think only about the college but make sure you choose the correct branch as well. Both are equally important as you know that your future will depend on them.
