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 NIT Calicut, on the other hand, has an outdated curriculum and the hostel facilities are dilapidated.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.
DTU is an old institute of national importance with a spectacular placement record and a wide alumni base. While Galgotias University is a 5-year-old university with average placements and faculty.

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.
