How's the hostel life in Delhi's top colleges like IIT Delhi, NSIT and DTU?
The hostel life in Delhi's top colleges such as IIT Delhi, NSIT, and DTU is generally considered to be full of roller coaster experiences. You get to interact with such a mixed crowd for the first time in your life and almost everyone here is a genius.
Your most precious memory when you will leave the college will be munching Maggie at the Maggie Baba around 3 in the morning with your friends or playing cricket at 12 midnight. You will miss the Friday night hangouts in lounges and clubs. Girls however suffer because of the curfew effective right at 9 pm. The hostels add to the overall college life experience and if you aren’t staying at a hostel, you are missing out on a lot of fun.
Which is the best between IIT Delhi and Chennai?
IIT Delhi enjoys the reputation of being an IIT that offers the best city life experience. The campus is always lively with future entrepreneurs roaming around with splendid ideas.
Its lavish location is another added advantage being surrounded by NIFT, JNU, Hauz Khas, and other lounges. Students prefer spending their evenings in clubs to release stress. It is also in close proximity to Gurgaon, the IT mushroom of the country adding to the overall exposure and internship opportunities provided to the students.
IIT Delhi has some great tourist spots like Manali, Punjab, Kashmir, Rajasthan, and Thungnath.
Inside the campus, you will find a rich startup and coding culture with very few students inclined towards Civil Services.
Honestly, I feel your branch has less to do with the opportunities and exposure and your college has more to do with it. So choose wisely or go for IIT Delhi and you will never regret it!
Which is a better option: aerospace engineering in IIT Kanpur or production and industrial engineering in IIT Delhi?
IIT Kanpur has several advantages over IIT Delhi. A few are mentioned below:
- Unlike IIT Delhi, branch change facility is not restricted to the first year only and one can change branches even after the 2nd year
- IIT Kanpur offers an enriched campus life with great relations between students as well as students and faculty.
- There are no LAN restrictions at IIT Kanpur whereas, IIT Delhi restricts usage of LAN from 1 a.m. to 6 a.m.
Lastly, once you enter IIT, your branch rarely matters. Your placements solely depend on your CG, your skills, and the efforts you invested throughout. So, go for a branch that matches your area of interest and you are good to go.
What are my career prospects after pursuing M.Tech in Computer Technology (Electrical Dept.) from IIT Delhi?
My friend completed her M.Tech in Telecommunication Technology and Management from IIT Delhi and also did some extra courses in Computer Technology from Electrical Department.
These courses usually cover Software related topics with very less focus on mathematical analytics and circuit design. Students from Instrumentation backgrounds expect Analytics and Design but the reality is IIT Delhi has very limited choices in this field. Most of the optional courses offered are related to CS and are much more promising than Analytics. If you are okay with programming, coding, and software development then go for it at once.
Rest assured, you will never get to doubt the packages offered during the placements of Computer Technology. It has the highest packages among all the Electrical Department branches.
You get what you seek, hence the more you are willing to get, the more opportunities you will have to explore other branches of IIT Delhi.
How good is IIT Delhi for machine learning?
Despite offering a plethora of courses for Machine Learning, IIT Delhi fails to keep pace with the new developments in the field of ML. The obsolete curriculum does not justify the fast-paced developments in the field of Machine Learning. So if you are just a curious guy trying to learn ML to build something or for a job, then it’s well and good. But for those who want to pursue deep research in the field, the program will be an utter disappointment. The curriculum does not cover industry-relevant and diverse topics like Reinforcement learning.
IIT Delhi offers Advanced Machine Learning taught by Prof. Prathosh. The program usually covers Deep Learning. Honestly speaking, the Machine learning courses offered by the Department of Electrical Engineering are more rigorous theoretically and are better than those offered under Mechanical Engineering.
How do IIT Delhi/Bombay, BITS Pilani, NSIT and IIIT-H compare?

Courses: Course-wise too, IIT Bombay wins the race accompanied by IIT Delhi, IIIT Hyderabad, and BITS Pilani subsequently.
International competitions: The order remains the same except BITS scores better than IIIT Hyderabad in this aspect.
Startup culture: The startup culture too is best at IIT Bombay, then IIT Delhi followed by BITS and Hyderabad.
\Alumni: IIT Bombay has the highest number of successful alumni across the globe after which stands IIT Delhi, BITS Pilani, and finally IIIT Hyderabad.
I don’t think it’s logical to compare extremely old and government-funded IITs with private institutes like BITS and IIIH. The alumni reach is also incomparable.
How are the placements of Applied Mechanics Engineering in the Mechanics branch at IIT Delhi?
The placements for the Applied Mechanics Engineering branch at IIT Delhi are pretty good and most students opt for this branch given the excellent placement scenario. The core placement percentage is around 75% which is outstanding considering most branch students have to opt for non-core placements. core companies. The key is to maintain a good CG throughout and prepare well for placements.

Can we complete our MA in English in IIT Delhi or any other IITs? If yes, what is the admission procedure?
No, IIT Delhi does not provide MA in English. Some other IITs do provide humanities programs, for instance, IIT Madras offers 5-year integrated MA courses in English as well as in Development Studies. Admission to these courses is done through an entrance test called HSEE.
Other IITs have their own net above tests for the specific humanities programs offered and details can be sought from the official website of respective colleges. Additionally, some IITs also offer Ph.D. programs in different humanities disciplines including English literature.
What are the differences between Construction Engineering and Management (CET) and Construction Technology and Management (CEC) courses in IIT Delhi?
The major point of distinction between Construction Engineering and Management (CET) and Construction Technology and Management (CEC) courses at IIT Delhi is that CEC is offered to sponsored candidates whereas CET is offered to students who qualify for GATE in civil engineering with an AIR under 300 for general category.
The students who have completed their graduation in architecture and engineering are sponsored by DMRO to pursue Masters's Diploma in Construction technology and management. Additionally, L&T Constructions also sponsors graduates from Civil engineering, Mechanical engineering, and Electrical engineering backgrounds for Masters's Degrees in Construction Technology and Management.
Another distinguishing feature is the risk of placements. Civil Engineering students in general and CEC students specifically face backlash due to the deteriorating situation of the real estate sector and construction industry whereas CET students are sponsored and thus have no risk factor as their employment is guaranteed.
Apart from a few course differences, the two programs and opportunities offered are more or less the same.
IIT Delhi vs DTU vs NSUT which of these considered the best engineering college in Delhi (Rankwise)?
The primary step even before deciding on the Institute is to determine which field, or branch appeals to you to the extent that you want to spend the rest of your life in that field. Once you have done that, the next step is to research which Institute specializes in that field.
- For Coding, Computer Science is the best
- For Automobiles, the Mechanical branch is the best
- For interest in electronic devices, the best branches for you are ECE and EEE are the best
- If you are interested in electrical things like motors, and power supply in house EE is the right branch for you.
- If building dams, bridges, and highways interests you, Civil Engineering is perfect for you
Lastly, I will suggest you go for IIT Delhi without much hesitation as it is a complete package, with the much coveted IIT tag, the best faculties, labs, and other amenities.
