Which is better: DTU CS or IIT Delhi textile?

AB
Akriti Banerjee Posted On : April 6th, 2023
lives in New Delhi

While many might suggest you go for DTU CS, and not run after the IIT tag, my opinion may vary. Had I been in your place, I would have chosen IIT Delhi any day over DTU because the exposure, opportunities, brand value, research opportunities, and top-notch education that come with it are worth a few boring Textile Courses.

Most importantly, IIT Delhi allows you to take electives in the field of your choice and you can always opt for CS electives for better placements. Some common courses undertaken by students who opt for non-core placements are

  • Data Structures
  • Algorithms
  • Operating Systems
  • Computer Architecture

With the right balance of basic textile education and these courses, you can avail of both, CS education as well as IIT tag. However, you will have to study some courses in which you are least interested, thereby wasting your time. This sacrifice is justifiable when you keep in mind the CS faculty of IIT Delhi which is far better than DTU.

Between IIIT Allahabad, IIIT Delhi, DTU, NSIT, DAIICT, NIT Calicut, which college should I choose for pursuing CS ?

IR
Indrakshi Roy Posted On : August 13th, 2020
B.Tech Software Engineering Delhi Technological University (2015)

Among the ones mentioned, DTU should be your first choice for pursuing CS. Many reasons support DTU over others. First of all, the coding culture at DTU is unparalleled. One of the underpinning aspects in this context is the platform of DSECoders. It is a perfect platform to get acquainted with coding within DTU campus. Besides, eminent technical societies like IEEE, ASME including others also conduct coding classes and competitions for students. Secondly, the institute has a plethora of societies that provide great impetus to coders. Thirdly, the campus location of DTU provides a conducive exposure and opportunity for students. Delhi-NCR is a hub of great IT companies and this provides the students with ample job opportunities. Furthermore, the placement scenario at DTU is quite impressive. 

Although IIIT Delhi, IIIT Allahabad, and NIT Calicut have a reputed “IIT” and “IIIT” tag, they suffer from their own cons. Their campuses are quite small and do not conduct ample extracurricular activities. Besides, the alumni base of IIITs is quite small as compared to DTU. Though they do provide an impressive coding culture, DTU still stands taller. NIT Calicut, on the other hand, has an outdated curriculum and the hostel facilities are dilapidated. Thus, considering all the facades, DTU undoubtedly stands taller as compared to the other colleges mentioned in the question. Although IIIT Delhi and DTU might seem at par with each other, DTU is still better considering the vast alumni base it has produced over the years.

Should I go for biotechnology in DTU or an ECE in MAIT IP?

AS
Ayush Sharma Posted On : January 12th, 2021
B.Tech CSE, DTU (2018)

Many students struggle with the college vs branch dilemma. You should choose the branch that you are more interested in. DTU is definitely a better college than MAIT. But you should make a choice depending on the course. In which field you will like to work for the rest of your life takes precedence over 4 years of college. The starting salary package of ECE at MAIT may not be lucrative. But you should definitely choose the option if you have an interest in ECE. 

The table below can show a brief overview of the Universities.

Particulars

Biotechnology DTU

ECE MAIT

Average CTC

13 LPA 

8 LPA

Course Fee (1st year)

1.66 lakhs

1.1o lakhs

Entrance Exam 

JEE Mains/JEE Advance

IPU CET

Deciding Factors:

  • People will advise you to opt for a reputed college. Since better college offers jobs with better salary packages. This is true to some extent. But one of the main aspects of jobs is job satisfaction. If you do not like what you are going to do for around 300 hours a month, it will take a toll on you. It is better to pick a line of work you like over a high paying job with the line of work you do not enjoy. To do that you have to give priority to the specialization over brand name.
  • While starting out after finishing college, salary should not be your main concern. You should focus on honing your skills in your field. The first 3-5 years of your employment life should be about learning the most about your area of specialization. Since most of the institutes do not offer a curriculum that meets the needs of the industry. 

You will have a lot of time to earn money, but you will not get the opportunity to learn and explore new things later in life. So, choose the branch you are passionate about.

Abhay Pratap Singh Posted On : January 5th, 2021
Undergraduate Computer Science, Delhi Technological University (2021)

ECE at NIT Delhi is not good. If you want to stay in Delhi then IIIT Delhi is a better alternative. Also, you can easily apply for CSE at other NITs or apply for other colleges such as PEC, IIIT, YMCA, etc.

The table below gives an overview of ECE at NIT Delhi and Mechanical at DTU.

Category

NIT Delhi

DTU

Infrastructure:

  • Since NIT Delhi has been recently established, it does not have its own campus. There are limited facilities available for students. 
  • The hostels are not good and have connectivity issues. They are located very far from the main campus. 
  • The facilities offered are incomparable with other colleges.

Placements:

  • As NIT Delhi is a newly established institution, the placements offered are also not very enduring as compared to NITs and other colleges such as PEC Chandigarh or IIIT Delhi. 
  • IIIT Delhi has better placements than NIT Delhi as they have more experienced departments.

Coding Culture:

  • The coding environment at NIT Delhi, in comparison with other colleges, is also not good. 
  • IIIT Delhi has better facilities for coding environment than in NIT Delhi.

Class Schedule:

  • The class schedule is quite hectic. Students have to attend classes from 9:30 to 5:30 with a break of just an hour. 
  • Students waste a lot of time traveling as the hostels are located very far from college.

Faculty:

The faculty at NIT Delhi are not very skilled and they have less experience if compared with faculties of IIIT Delhi. 

If you like CS and want to explore plenty of opportunities then you should apply at IIIT Delhi or other NITs. ECE at NIT Delhi is more substandard than CSE at NIT Delhi. Between the choices given, DTU Mechanical is a better option than ECE at NIT Delhi.
