What is it like doing an MBA from IIT Delhi?
The MBA program of IIT Delhi is much like that offered at any other B School. Doing an MBA from an engineering college doesn’t make much of a difference but the way you move forward with your degree does. The IIT tag proves to be very beneficial. Some other advantages of an MBA from IIT Delhi are
- The location of the Institute plays a good role in attracting top recruiters
- Great exposure and opportunities through industry interactions
- Provides the perfect environment for learning and growing as a person
- Top-notch infrastructure
- Good ROI
- Great placement scenario with the highest package this year at INR 36.7 LPA and average package at INR 21.9 LPA.
Thus the MBA program offered at DMS IIT Delhi is decent enough to be considered.
Which one is better, electrical engineering or electrical (power and automation) from IIT Delhi?
It’s best to compare both the branches based on the most common aspects such as
- Curriculum: The curriculum of both Electrical Engineering and Electrical Engineering (Power and Automation) covers a lot of common topics. The core courses of one may be available as either core courses or elective courses for the other, and vice versa. Only around 5 distinguishing courses are offered.
- Job opportunities: As far as core placements are concerned, the opportunities offered by both branches are quite different. Some companies might prefer students of one branch over the other. The non-core job roles offered are very similar in both branches.
- Competition: Electrical Engineering has better-ranking students than Electrical (Power and Automation). Thus the former has better competition than the latter. Someone who is among the top 10 in Electrical is among the top 2-3 in Electrical Power and Automation.
IIT Delhi Electrical Engineering offers slightly more opportunities in terms of peer quality and placements than the other.
Does IIT Delhi award scholarships for lower-income-group students?
IIT Delhi provided Merit-Means scholarships to its students under which, free-of-cost education is imparted to students belonging to families with income lower than INR 4.5 Lakhs. In addition, students are given a 1000k monthly stipend. However, the mess fees are not waived and students have to pay them despite the scholarship.
These scholarships give opportunities to the ones who are financially weak but want to attain success. It also stops the continuous hike in the fees annually.
What is the average salary of an IIT Delhi graduate?
IIT Delhi is one of the elite engineering colleges of India spread across a sprawling campus of 320 acres. Despite being a government institution, it enjoys the status of an Institution of Eminence under which it has the power to decide its academic policy, to conduct its examinations, and award its degrees.
The placement scenario at this top-notch engineering college is second to none. More than 300 national and international recruiters offered 500+ job profiles across various domains. During the first Phase itself, students bagged over 925 job offers. Most students opted for jobs related to their technical core. Around 90% of students have bagged offers in their core areas. More than 20 International offers have been made by leading countries like Japan, the Middle East, Singapore, South Korea, and Taiwan.

Lab
The Biotechnology department has 2 labs; the wet lab, and the dry lab or the Computational Biology and Bioinformatics lab. Both are indispensable to each other. Yet, it’s common for students to prefer one over the other after a little time.
Research: A plethora of research options are available in this diverse field. The courses offered to cover various topics like Bioprocess Plant Design, Downstream Processing, Bio-nanotechnology, Genomics & Proteomics, and Biological Waste treatment. These advanced courses make it possible to get into good universities.
Non-core placements: This department has a lot of companies visiting for noncore jobs in various sectors such as
- Analytics: Axtria, Barclays, Citicorp, Evalueserve, Fractal_Analytics, TransOrg, EXL, etc.

Is IIT Delhi good for an MTech in CSE?
IIT Delhi is a premier engineering college offering top-notch education and placements to its students. Moreover, its CSE department is highly coveted by Engineering aspirants and is on par with the CSE department of IIT Bombay. Anyone who has to choose between CSE in IIT Delhi and IIT Bombay should consider much more than just academics and placements. IIT Bombay organizes the best tech fest and cultural fest all over India while IIT has a unique location of being in the center of the country and near Haur Khas, the hub of clubs and lounges.

Which is better, IIT Delhi Textile Technology or NIT Delhi CSE (considering I have a very high interest in programming)?
Both institutes are well known for their excellent education and opportunities offered. So you can choose the branch and college on the basis of your own preferences. However, some points you might want or consider
Campus: NIT Delhi operates from a temporary campus which is located far away from the country and its permanent campus is still under construction. IIT Delhi on the other hand is a fully-fledged established Institute with a fully functioning well facilitated campus.
Placements: Although Textile Engineering has very few core job opportunities, people tend to go for non-core jobs instead to secure a high-paying job at a top company. Meanwhile, NIT Delhi being younger than IIT Delhi has fewer companies visiting campus with CS roles despite being a demanded branch.
If you are actually keen to pursue CSE, go for better Engineering colleges like NITs, DTU, NSIT, and IIIT D. In fact even at IIT Delhi, you can pursue your coding passion alongside your main branch textile and sit for IT placements. The final decision is yours to make and you can consider additional aspects like fees, location, and academics while making your decision.

How is life at IIT Delhi? Is it tougher than the preparation days or easier?
Unlike everyone else, I think that life after joining IIT Delhi becomes more challenging than it was while preparing for JEE. Some reasons for the same are
- Your peers are mostly JEE toppers and you will find an unexplainable competitive tension among your batchmates as everyone is struggling to remain at the top. The relative grading system makes it difficult to score more than 7 CGPA while the cutoff for most companies is 8-9. This leads to immense pressure and competition sometimes with a negative impact.
- The hectic class schedule makes it impossible to spare time for extra activities like extracurricular activities, assignments, lab reports, and internship preparations.
- The overall routine is quite imbalanced considering the academic pressure at one end and huge parties and entertainment during your leisure time. There is no time to relax and complete your sleep.
- The students who target non-core jobs, focus less on academics and more on becoming dominant and attaining power. This creates a toxic political environment within the campus.
- The workload for the CS branch is exceptionally high with no time left for extracurricular activities. The huge number of assignments keeps the students holed in the library for hours and they become frustrated.
Life at IIT Delhi is fast-paced, packed with challenges, and very lively so know what you have signed up for before joining!
