What should I prefer, MTech (CSE) at DTU or MTech (CSE) at MNNIT Allahabad?
You should prefer MTech CSE at DTU. It offers better facilities. The infrastructure and hostel facilities of DTU are great. Located in the heart of Delhi, it offers better exposure to the industry. It is comparably easier to receive live projects, internships, and placement opportunities. Companies such as Microsoft, Wipro, Cisco, etc. take part in DTU placements. The average CTC for MTech CSE students is around INR 10 LPA - 12 LPA.
How is DTU environmental when I am getting into CSE at MSIT and MAIT?
DTU is a renowned university, known for engineering courses. It will be better to opt for it irrespective of the branch. I have some ideas about the institute since I have some friends at the institute.
You can always opt for CSE subjects in your 1st or 2nd year of the degree. And most recruiting companies coming to the placement drive allows students to appear in interviews, irrespective of their branch. Due to the locational advantages and the brand name, more than 100 companies visit the campus drive every year.

I've got CSE in NSIT, DTU, IIIT-D and NIT Surathkal, which one should I go for?
You should choose CSE in NIT Surtahkal. In terms of coding culture, research environment, academics, placements, and reputation, it is better.
- NIT Surtahkal is an Institute of National Importance and gets funding from Central Govt.
- NIT Surathkal has a great research interface. It is the only NIT to receive HEFA funding to set up a Central Research Facility. ISRO has a regional academic center for space on NIT K campus.
- A total of 23 students from the institute were accepted for GSoC 2020. NITK was ranked 4th globally, in the list of schools with the maximum number of accepted students in GSoC.
- According to the placement highlights, NITK CSE average package is INR 15-16 LPA.
NIT Surtahkal offers a better return on investment, compared to NSIT, DTU, and IIIT D. Since it changes only INR 5.48 lakhs for the degree.
What should I choose: software engineering at DTU or IT at IIIT Allahabad?
When it comes to choosing a stream for higher education, it's important to follow your interests and passions. Ultimately, the decision should be yours alone, and you should choose the stream that you feel most excited and enthusiastic about pursuing.
If you're considering IT or software engineering, there are a number of factors to take into account when making your decision. Here are some key points to consider:
- Interest: Consider what subject matter excites you the most, and what you can see yourself studying and working in for the next few years.
- Curriculum and faculty: Look for programs that have up-to-date and relevant coursework, as well as faculty members who are experts in the field and can provide valuable insights and guidance.
- Reputation: The reputation of a program can also play a role in your decision-making process. Consider the standing of the institution and the program within the industry, and look for programs that have a strong track record of producing successful graduates.
- Placements: Finally, placement opportunities should also be a consideration. Look for programs that have a strong track record of placing graduates in desirable jobs within the industry.
With all of these factors in mind, it's worth noting that if you were in a position to choose between IT at IIIT Allahabad and software engineering at DTU, you might lean towards IT at IIITA. This is because IIIT Allahabad has one of the best CS faculty in all of India, which could provide a valuable learning experience and open doors to a wider range of career opportunities.
Additionally, the IT sector is known for offering great placement opportunities, which can be a key consideration for many students when choosing a program.
Which will be better, CSE at IIT Mandi, DTU, NSIT, BITS GOA or any NIT (Warangal)?
For CSE, BITS Goa is the best option among the colleges mentioned here. The student crowd for the branch is almost as good as BITS Pilani. The cutoff difference between the campuses isn’t much.
BITS Goa CSE placements are pretty good. According to the placement highlights, the average package for the branch is INR 12 LPA.
The coding culture at BITS Goa is better than all the institutes mentioned here.
Which should I take for engineering - physics at DTU or electronics and communication at IIIT Una?
Both of the colleges have their own specialties. It depends on your purpose for doing any of the mentioned courses. One of my friends graduated from DTU and he mentioned a few points about the same which may be helpful for you-
- If your focus is on taking a decent job after graduation or earning money, opt for other options than physics.
- But if you have your interest in the field of research in physics or you want to do your higher studies in the field of physics, then go for Engineering in Physics.
- My friend from the physics branch in DTU straight away mentioned that the physics department in DTU doesn’t have decent placement opportunities, be it the on-campus placement or off-campus placement.
- ECE being a practical-oriented subject has a lot of demand in the industry.
- Also after graduating with ECE, you can sit for placements of both core companies and IT firms. Thus there will be a lot of job opportunities.
- Half of the students who have enrolled themselves on the physics branch were misled and the other half was too sure and passionate about this branch.
- Whereas, ECE at IIIT UNA can provide you with a good job right after you graduate.
| Categories | Engineering Physics at DTU | ECE at IIIT Una |
| Course Fee | 7.81 lakh | 8.16 lakh |
| Highest CTC | 15-16 LPA | 16 LPA |
| Average CTC | 8-9 LPA | 8 LPA |
| Recruiting Companies | Optum, Tech Mahindra, TCS, IBM, etc. | Google, Microsoft, Accenture, Capgemini, etc. |
Hence, it is up to you what is your purpose behind taking a course, if it’s research, go for engineering physics and if it’s about taking a decent job in the field of Electronics, then go for IIIT Una.
Which is better, CSD at IIITD, ICE at NSIT, EE at DTU or IT at MAIT?
If you are interested in Computer Science and want to pursue MS/Ph.D. from universities abroad, after graduation, IIITD CSD is the best option for you. IIITD CSD placements are also pretty good. During the 2021 placement drive, the average CTC offered was INR 16.56 LPA.
If you find Electrical Engineering or Instrumentation and Control Engineering interesting and want to go for GATE/PSU/MTech, then choose the respective streams at DTU/NSIT. These branches aren’t usually open for most IT and coding-based jobs. For an MBA or a non-tech, career path, DTU or NSIT will be better as well.
Which one is best: CSE/IT at NIT Surathkal, NIT Trichy, DTU, IIIT Allahabad, or BITS Hyderabad/Goa?
CSE/ IT is a preferred branch but the colleges offering these streams need to be compared on the basis of the following parameters Fees, Seats, Placements, Number of companies visiting the campus, and Cut-off.
The aforesaid parameters can be justified in detail below for both CS and IT separately.
Course Fees:
-
NIT Surathkal has a fee range of Rs. 4.94 Lakh for computer science/ information technology
-
NIT Trichy provides the course at Rs. 5.24 Lakh.

The other factor that is to be concerned is definitely the ranking and reputation of colleges in the marketspace. Both the NIT’s are exemplary performers in the field of engineering. IIIT focuses primarily on information technology. BITS in comparison to all is a private institute that can be a little behind in the race compared to major government institutions.
Which one is better, NIT Raipur IT or DTU for ECE?
NIT Raipur and DTU Delhi are two different colleges at two different places. Thus, choose a college according to your convenience and which is not so far from your place.
- Raipur campus is less polluted and in the middle of the capital city. Moreover, NIT Raipur is more affordable than Delhi.
- The students don’t worry about the attendance at NIT Raipur as the college is quite lenient regarding their attendance policy. Which you can use to your advantage.
