Which one to choose, lower NIT or College of engineering, Pune or DTU ?
DTU is a tier 1 engineering college and has a distinct legacy of its own. It is one of the oldest engineering institutes in India and according to the 2020 NIRF Ranking, it ranks 34th among the top technological institutes in India. The placement scenario at DTU is quite impressive and students receive an average package of 6.5 LPA on placement drive.
Although COEP is also a reputed college, most of the students are local and Marathi speaking. So if you are comfortable in Marathi and can strike a balance between Marathi and English, then you might consider COEP. The biggest advantage of COEP is it is located in the automation hub Pune which helps in the placement, especially for the mechanical branch.
Although the ‘NIT’ tag offers certain advantages, except for IT and ME branches the placement scenario in lower NIT’s is not up to the mark. Besides, these lower-ranked colleges also offer fewer opportunities for startups and entrepreneurship. DTU on the other hand has an excellent coding culture and conducts a vast number of fests for coders. However, a major difference between DTU and lower NITs is that the fee in the latter is much less as compared to the institute fees in the former. All NITs have a common fee structure as they all come under the reserved list of “Centrally Sponsored Institutes”. Furthermore, NITs also offer many scholarships for students.
However, considering all the aspects and the associated pros and cons, DTU should be the first choice.

My brother was in the CSE branch of NIT Trichy and based on his experience, here are a few pointers:
- The professors are extremely learned and experienced and impart quality education
- The relative grading system establishes peer pressure, and as a result, there is tough competition among the students
- IIT Roorkee is well known for its rich coding culture that is promoted by student-driven and institute funded clubs. These clubs give you additional knowledge on web designing, App development, and game development that might be useful later in
- The CSE department is one of the most coveted branches, and being a part of one will inculcate a sense of privilege.
- The hostel and campus life is decent with all necessary amenities.

You won’t ever regret choosing NIT CSE.
Which one is better, NIT Trichy CSE or IIT Delhi EE?
Both NIT Trichy and IIT Delhi are excellent Engineering colleges providing premium education. The choice of the branch, however, should be based on what you are expecting from your graduation. If it’s packages you are after, obviously, NIT Trichy is the right choice for you. But if you are driven by opportunities, exploring more things, and higher studies then IIT Delhi is the one that will open doors for the same. IIT Delhi is a globally recognized brand in contrast to NIT and thus one can easily go for higher education abroad with the IIT tag working in your favor.
Then again, the final decision should be based on your genuine inclination, personal preferences, and career prospects.
