The TnP cell of NSUT Delhi does not release the salaries offered by the companies so I too will only be stating the name of the visiting companies only.
Over the last few years, NSUT has welcomed many MNCs that recruit the most talented minds of NSUT. Some of the top recruiters that visited the campus for the placement drive include

Avaya |
Deloitte |
Honeywell |
HCL |
IBM |
Ibibo |
Digital Green |
GRMALTO |
Ciena |
Amdocs |
Axtria |
Flipkart |

Try to score a minimum of 70% if you want to be eligible for most of the top tech companies. But if you want to get into a non-tech company, then 65% will get you enough offers. Remember that college only offers you the first job and it’s you who has to shape the rest of your career.
Yes, you should certainly consider changing to a Delhi School for DTU or NSIT. Like every state Delhi too has institutions where there is a reservation for Delhites. DTU and NSIT are among the top engineering colleges and the fact that both of them are situated in Delhi gives immense opportunities to the residents.
Both DTU and NEIT are under the purview of the Government of National Capital Territory(NCT) of Delhi so they have an 85% reservation for students who do their schooling from Delhi.
So if you are a Delhite you have to compete with 85% of the batch which is easier than competing against 15% seats for remaining states. Here, you can get CS even with an average rank if you are a Delhite but it may be impossible if you are from another state. So yes, shift to Delhi and avail a plethora of opportunities!
It's quite subjective to claim NSUT is the worst engineering college as it has churned out a few successful engineers too. The only people who find it below average and worst are those who couldn't make it to the prestigious institution despite being rich because it does accept any kind of bribes. I have many friends in the institute that say the college gave them wings to fly and discover their passions. So the people nitpicking on the colleges worth are the ones that did not utilize the available resources or took part in any kind of activity.
Rather than criticizing an institute, I suggest it's better to take action and start working on yourself because you cannot change the institute but can change yourself drastically for the better.
So, NSUT is definitely not the worst engineering college in Delhi as it has given wings to many engineering students who are pursuing successful careers today. best engineering college in India and almost a religion for many like me.
It’s hard to determine the worth and credibility of these institutes just by looking at official rankings. So I will be taking into consideration some criteria
It’s best to go for the college that is best suitable for you alone and not just because it has good rankings.
IIITD, DTU and NSIT (NSUT) reserve 85% seats for the students who passed their 12th or equivalent from Delhi. All the NITs also offer reservation to students from their own states. Here are the 2023 JEE Mains closing ranks for CSE/COE at various colleges (for SC category)-
College/ University |

All India |

NITW |
OS |

NIT Rourkela |

IIIT Delhi |

These are the closing ranks assuming you are not from the Home State. There are separate ranks for female-reserved seats as well. Apart from COE, NSUT also offers a B.Tech CSE in AI, Data Science and Big Data Analytics.
Thus, you will have to study hard and score well to secure a seat at these top colleges for your B.Tech CSE.
One of my friends at NSUT Delhi shared a few unknown facts about the institute. He claims that the majority of the crowd is focused on getting placed and securing good marks rather than developing a genuine interest and passion in the curse. This makes the academic environment dull and unchallenging. Here are some other major drawbacks he faced during his time at NSUT Delhi
So, unless you have no other options it is better to not consider joining NSUT Delhi. You might end up ruining your career.
Although IIIT Delhi has a better curriculum, academic environment, and even placement scenario, the opportunities offered at NSUT Delhi are no less. The average package of IIIT Delhi 2023 placements stood at INR 23.72 LPA while the median package of NSUT Delhi is INR 16 LPA.
However, these figures do not mean much for a fresher because IT giants like Google have the same recruitment procedure for every college. Students from all colleges be it a top NIT, IIIT-D, NSUT, or a local college were given equal chances to appear for its interview.
Surprisingly, even NSUT Delhi gets enough offers from Google so placements have nothing to do with the curriculum you have studied. NSUT students are all-round coders whereas IIIT Delhi students are proficient only in competitive coding. Even the number of students getting into IIMs is more for NSUT than IIIT Delhi.
So, NSUT is much better than IIIT Delhi because of the crowd quality and education.
NSIT organizes an amazing cultural fest and also has many societies, clubs, and sports facilities. Overall, I will suggest freshers who are certain of pursuing a career in research in computers or communication, signal processing, etc to join IIIT Delhi but if you are uncertain about your inclination, choose NSIT Delhi. It will guide you!
I assume you are a fresher and that’s why you are evaluating a college's worth through its placements. In reality, the placements released by these colleges are not precise so aren’t a credible criterion. You will be surprised to know that even top institutes like IITs are not able to achieve 100% placements. Even NSIT and DTU which show high packages of cries, are quite misleading. These high packages fail to show the situation of the average students that receive low packages and sometimes even remain unplaced.
As for NIT Delhi, it’s still in its development phase and also has an average placement scenario. However, it has a good placement percentage and even average students manage to get a job easily. Nevertheless, I have done a comparative analysis of the placement scenario of these institutes.

The first placement drive for the Mechanical branch of NSUT was held in 2019 and my brother participated in it. The offers received were a combination of the following
This scenario is from 2019 and things might have become better now. Since the institute does not release official figures, here is what I got from a friend.
Hope you now have a better understanding of the placement scenario of NSUT Delhi Mechanical Branch.
