All three colleges namely, IIIT Delhi, NSIT, and DTU are excellent options for CSE. However, you might want to consider the following points before making the final decision
So choose wisely based on your priorities!
NIT Delhi was established in 2010 and is still struggling to make its mark in the education world. As for your question, if NIT Delhi will reach the level of DTU and NSIT soon, I feel that it certainly will. The following points support my stance further
NIT Delhi may be lacking in terms of campus and alumni but it’s nothing that cannot be improved in the years to come!
NSUT is a well-regarded institute in the field of engineering education but is yet to make its mark in the field. There are many other better engineering colleges out there that should be given preference over NSUT.
NSUT offers an MTech program in the following specializations
Here are a few additional highlights of the program that will help you make a more informed decision

I think it’s better to consider other options like DTU and IIIT Delhi that offer better MTech programs in the same location.
You can put all your worries to rest regarding the hostel conditions at NSUT if you are a girl and be prepared for the best experience of your life.
The hostels have all kinds of rooms, single, double, and triple occupancy rooms. The triple occupancy rooms do not mean one room with three beds but three separate rooms for 3 girls that are interconnected. Every set of rooms has its own washroom.
Additionally, the girls' hostel is air-conditioned and isn’t overcrowded at all. Students of all branches stay together so you get a diverse experience.
The hostel and mess rules are more flexible for the girls' hostel than the boys' hostel. So come here to spend the best years of your life!
NSIT CSE is the better choice than NIT Surathkal IT and MNNIT Allahabad CSE. This is because it's located in the capital city which is a hub of budding startups and companies. Delhi also has excellent coaching institutes for preparation for CAT, coding, and GATE. The institute, therefore, offers better opportunities for development and learning. Additionally, the capital city has many places to explore so you can have a fun off-campus life too.
NIT Surathkal on the other hand is away from the hustle and bustle of the metro city so if you prefer a peaceful college experience then choose NIT Surathkal.
So, if you want to stay in the capital and experience a dynamic life, choose IIIT Delhi or NSIT else go for NIT Surathkal.

Here are some important tips that you can follow to get placed in a good non-tech company during the NSUT Delhi placements-

presentation or interview.
Try to remain calm and composed. You will get selected by a good company during the NSUT Delhi placements. But if things don’t go as planned, remember that everything gets better eventually.
All the colleges you mentioned; NSIT, DTU, and IIIT Delhi are run by the NCT government and have similar opportunities and brand value. The choice of the institute here depends more on personal factors than the institute itself.

DTU:
IIIT Delhi:
So, it precisely depends on the kind of branch you want to get if it’s all about programming go for IIIT Delhi, if it’s CSE, IT, or ECE go for NSIT but if it’s core branches like Mechanical, Electrical, or civil engineering DTU is the best option.
I can never stop emphasizing this, no matter how many options you have always go for the one that gives you the IIT tag.
I am not saying Engineering colleges like NSIT and DTU aren’t good but they are in the developing phase while IIT Jodhpur is in its developing phase. This means it will only get better. Despite being a new IIT, its average package this year was recorded at INR 21.30 LPA, which is a great feat for a new college.
Additionally, IITs receive more funding from the government to provide better research and project opportunities. Specifically speaking about CSE, this year the highest INR 56 LPA was bagged by BTech CSE. The placement percentage stood at 97% while the average package for CSE was recorded at INR 23 LPA.
DTU and NSIT may have higher placement statistics but they lack what IIT Jodhpur offers, the most coveted IIT tag! So choose wisely.
Yes, NSIT Delhi (now NSUT) started its MBA program in 2019 and its first batch graduated in 2021. This is good news for all the CAT aspirants.
NSUT is known for its Engineering courses. Though the MBA program is new, you will have access to endless resources. NSIT has a strong alumni network with majority of alumni working in top corporates around the world. Therefore, it will be worth spending two years at NSIT (NSUT). You will get a great learning environment and experienced faculty.
Thus, you can definitely consider NSUT Delhi for a decent MBA experience with the tag of a prestigious university.
