But it will definitely provide you with great learning opportunities. You can enjoy yourself a lot with your friends, more than you expect. Hence, it does not become less enjoyable just because it lacks nightlife and the tag of a metropolitan city.

Should I go for DTU for mechanical or IIIT-Delhi for ECE?
I have friends in both the colleges DTU and IIIT Delhi so I can give you a comparative analysis of these colleges
- IIIT Delhi charges almost double the fees of DTU, so if you have financial constraints, DTU is a better choice.
