What are some disadvantages of studying in IIIT Delhi?
IIIT Delhi is a small college with a small batch size in all programs. This means you will be under the surveillance of your professors more than your counterparts in colleges with huge batch strength. The small batch size also translates to more transparency while grading. Every student will have to work hard to be recognized and you cannot chill because of the rigorous academics.
Another difficulty you might face is that you will have to choose from an excellent variety of courses every semester. You will find this very challenging considering that all the courses will intrigue you and you will have to choose only a few of them.
Honestly, I feel both these disadvantages are actually advantages in disguise. A small batch size also means a better student-teacher ratio and a wide variety of courses makes the curriculum flexible. So, it can be safely concluded that IIIT Delhi has no major disadvantages as of now.
Do outside Delhi students face any problems in IIIT-Delhi, having an 85% of Delhi students?
No, outside Delhi students don’t face any kind of problems or discrimination at IIIT Delhi although it has 85% Delhi reservations. The seniors are very friendly and don’t demand any kind of respect or authority from them. There is no segregation in hostels too. Students of different programs and backgrounds stay together. Students make friends in hostels irrespective of their home state. IIIT Delhi has a ragging-free campus. The Outside Delhi students aren’t treated differently and almost everyone befriends them.
There haven’t ever been such cases where an outside Delhi student wasn't able to fit in. It’s better not to be influenced by random YouTube videos, social media, and Bollywood. You will be studying with some of the smartest and warmest people!

Since you are considering TCS Digital as another option, I am assuming you have decent coding skills. So, you can build your profile while pursuing an MTech in CSE. Unless you have any financial constraints, it's better to complete your MTech first.
Which is better to join DTU/NSIT/IIITD or new IITs or BITS Goa/Hyd Dual for CSE?
I won’t recommend you choose a dual program from BITS. For CSE, I would highly recommend IIIT Delhi. It has great research opportunities. It does not have the same branch value as NSUT Delhi/ DTU, but its growth rate is high. It will soon become a brand like IIIT Hyderabad. Compared to the new IITs, IIITD has a locational advantage because it is situated in the national capital.
BITS dual is a decent choice, but only if you get a CS. It depends on your performance in the first year. The odds of getting a CS are less than 20% which is pretty low, and the cutoffs keep getting higher each year. As far as the ‘BITS’ tag is concerned, it's really not that important in reality.
For the new IITs, go only if you are getting a CS over there. Do not rely on branch change. Also, avoid going to those located in small/ secluded towns because then you won’t get a lot of exposure. Also, do consider the faculty and infrastructure if you plan to go to a new IIT. My order of preference for CSE is IIITD > NSUT Delhi/DTU > BITS Goa/Hyderabad > IIT.
Thus, for a CSE, I would suggest you to choose either IIITD or NSUT Delhi/DTU.
Can I get into ECE at IIIT Delhi with a 97 percentile (outside Delhi candidate)?
IIIT Delhi has become a popular choice of JEE aspirants. Here is some information regarding B.Tech ECE cutoff for outside Delhi candidates-
97 percentile is equivalent to rank 30,000. During 2023, B.Tech ECE cutoff for IIIT Delhi stood at rank 8670. This was the JEE Mains cutoff rank for general category OS candidates. Unfortunately, it is not possible to get into ECE at IIITD with a 97 percentile.
Nonetheless, you should consider other good engineering colleges.
How much should I get in 12th and the JEE Mains to get a BTech CSE at IIIT Delhi?
IIIT Delhi follows a scheme of bonus marks. These marks are awarded for excellence in academics, sports, olympiads, etc.
The top 1% performers in the 12th CBSE boards are awarded bonus scores. To apply for bonus marks through academics, you must be a Delhi candidate. Without bonus marks, only your JEE Mains rank is considered.
Here are the ranks for CSE at IIIT Delhi:
- With 6 bonus marks, 9-10k rank.
- With 10 bonus marks, 13-14k rank.
- With no bonus marks, 5-6k rank.
A bonus percentile of 2/3.5 will be directly added to your JEE Mains percentile.
Eligibility for B.Tech at IIIT Delhi is-
- A minimum of 80 marks in Maths.
- 80% in best 5 (including PCM) in 12th boards.
These are the requirements to get a B.Tech CSE at IIIT Delhi.
What is difference between CSE and csd coures at IIIT Delhi?
If you have the option of choosing between a CSE and CSD course at IIIT Delhi, I will suggest you go for CSE. The only difference in these branches is the additional MS component which can be taken later if you want through a branch change.
CSD is a dual degree, meaning you will be awarded two degrees, a B.Tech in CSE and an MS by Research in CSE. It’s a research-oriented course wherein you will have to write research papers and an MS thesis. Students struggle to get their research papers published so the duration of the course isn’t fixed. Some might take more than 5 years to complete this program depending
Both programs are similar in terms of the job opportunities they offer and their curriculum. From the third year, CSD students have to take up an extra project every semester 3rd year onwards.
Even a CSE student can also opt for a B.Tech (Hons.) in CSE degree once he has completed two years of his course. He will be required to complete extra projects similar to the Dual Degree student.
Which is better, IIIT Delhi or NSIT/DTU?
Here is a short review of each of the aforementioned colleges
- NSUT Delhi: Go for this college only if you are getting CSE, IT, or ECE here. The infrastructure is lacking but the excellent alumni network makes up for it.
- DTU : The infrastructure and alumni network is great but the academic level is average.
- IIIT Delhi: The college is new so does not have an elaborate alumni base but the excellent faculty makes the learning experience great. The curriculum is updated and the infrastructure is modern. The academics are given great focus and the ambiance is pretty rigorous.
Here is what you should prefer for individual branches

|
ECE |
NSUT Delhi > IIITD > DTU |
|
For mechanical and other branch |
DTU > NSUT Delhi |
If you aren’t getting CSE at IIIT Delhi then consider CSD and CSAM branches of IIIT Delhi but only after considering the CSE of NSUT Delhi and DTU.
Which is better: NSIT CSAI or IIITD CSAI?
NSUT Delhi is a better option for extracurriculars and IIITD is a better choice for a career in research. If you wish to go for an M.S. (Research), choose IIIT Delhi.
IIIT Delhi has a great faculty and curriculum. At NSUT Delhi, the faculty won’t teach you the intricacies of a subject as it will in IIITD. However, you won’t have much time to spare after all the assignments at IIIT Delhi. If you want to create stuff (for eg. an AI chatbot) or are into game designing, etc, NSUT Delhi will give you the free time needed for that. College life and clubs are all better at NSUT Delhi.

How is an M.Tech from IIIT Delhi (ECE)?
The crowd for M.Tech ECE at IIIT Delhi usually comprises those students from tier 2 and 3 colleges who aren’t placed after their B.Tech. These students join the M.Tech program with the sole purpose of getting placed. They lack proper knowledge of the subjects for which they are chosen as TAs.
As TAs, they aren’t very helpful. Only some of them bother to solve students’ queries. The crowd lacks dedication and proper knowledge. The cooperation among themselves is weak too.
Basically, the course is decent. However, the peer group for M.Tech ECE isn’t up to the mark at IIIT Delhi.
