Here are certain facts about both the colleges that would help you choose what is best for you as per your priorities:
- Faculty of Learning: IIIT Delhi is the winner among all. Ph.D. professors from the world's leading universities would teach you in this college
- Infrastructure: Since 2012,IIIT Delhi has enjoyed the modern comfort of the school, labs, hostels, and central air conditioning. More specifically, Wi-Fi internet service was provided by the hostel campus and college campus.
- Peer group: Innovative students at NSIT will be more than IIIT, based on JEE ranks. It is indicated by the cut-offs of higher-ranking students for NSIT at the end of your degree course.
- Extra-Curricular: NSIT has established a CS program decades back, while Delhi is the newest on IIIT and no courses intersect with other areas of engineering. Overall, NSIT is an independent university with a balanced program. The program attaches value to the viewpoint of the students.
- Placements: NSIT is an existing entity that does not require a student to concern himself with the positions. The key to get through depends on what you have done in four years. Placements at IIIT Delhi are not bad at all. We should not be shocked if it hits NSIT in the next four years.
- Coding Culture: My brother as anIITDians always stood out when it came to the coding culture with GSoC, ACM-ICPC, etc., but NSIT’s coding culture is as good as that of IIT-D even if the hype is not much.
Another important point you must consider is that IIIT Delhi provides courses with around 50 hours a week of research, including classes.
If you are a computer scientist with a passion and see yourself operating in a CS stream, then join IIT-D. However, if you wish to leave your options free, NSIT must be your choice.
