How are the hostels in IIT Delhi, for girls especially?
The rooms in the IIT Delhi girls' hostels are rather spacious and decked with basic amenities. For freshers, triple occupancy rooms are allotted.
A typical room in a girls' hostel has basic stuff that every roommate shares such as study tables, chairs, beds, tube lights, windows, and other basic things. Other than this,
- The food served in the mess is of average quality.
- There are no AC or cooler facilities
- The girls' hostel is located close to the academic area
- There are 3 LAN ports in each room.
All in all, the hostel facilities for girls at IIT Delhi are decent.
Should I choose NSIT COE or IIT Delhi Civil?
Both of the institutes are located in Delhi, so location is not the issue. Both are visited by top management companies like Bain and BCG. Honestly speaking, Civil Engineering will limit your chances to go for tech companies like Microsoft, DE Shaw, Cisco, and Google. However, for Quant profile, IIT Delhi is the best with top banks such as JP Morgan, Morgan Stanley, and Goldman Sachs.
Both institutes have access to coaching institutes for preparation for Civil Services or MBA but IIT Delhi has a much better location. Basically, both institutes offer a heterogeneous mix of facilities and opportunities.
Why should one go for NSUT?
IIT Delhi Civil is a bit inferior in comparison to NSIT, as TPOs mostly comprise Tech Companies that are open for circuital branches like CSE, EE, ECE, M&C, and Instrumentation. Moreover, IIT Delhi has a better crowd and thus more competition during internships and placements. The core placements in Civil are pathetic and most students opt for non-core placements.
Why should one go for IIT Civil?
- IIT Delhi faculty is much more experienced and learned than NSUT
- The rich startup culture promotes future entrepreneurs and their ideas
- IIT tag is helpful in getting admission to foreign universities
- You have the option to sit for IES or take Civil as an optional subject for Indian Forest Service or Civil Service Examination
- Civil is a safer career than tech and guarantees career longevity.
- Although civil freshers are rarely in demand, a civil engineer with enough work experience, the right set of skills, and great project accomplishments are paid a high salary.
Conclusion
If you are looking for internship opportunities right after graduation, NSUT is the place for you but if you are ready to pursue a slow but stable career with a great scope for growth then IIT Delhi Civil is a good choice for you.
Which is better, IIT Delhi (chemical) or BITS Pilani (CSE)?
Irrespective of whichever Institute you go for, CSE is the most demanded branch today and has the best pay scale and job prospects. So, if it’s placements you are after, then BITS Pilani CSE is the right choice for you.
However, if you want to become an entrepreneur then Delhi being the capital is the absolute best place for you. Choosing IIT Delhi on the pretext of learning coding in the last year is a wrong mindset and at the end of the day, you will find yourself with little exposure and knowledge than those who learned coding for 4 years.
Make a well-informed decision considering the pros and cons of both institutes and courses.

How are the placements for energy studies at IIT Delhi?
Some key highlights of the placements for Energy Studies at IIT Delhi are
- Top companies that have ties with IIT Delhi for placements are GE Power, Sterling Power, John Deere, ABB India, Deloitte India, Applied Materials, and Renault-Nissan.
- Most students who had average or above-average academic profiles were able to get a good role
- Most of the students chase placements only and have no interest in acquiring knowledge and skills. So try not to adopt such a mindset and invest maximum efforts to reap benefits.
- Always be ready to work hard and face challenges. You will face tough competition as you will be dealing with geniuses of the country so prepare yourself for the same.
- Be open to multitasking or else you won’t be able to survive long. I know a friend who was a T&P coordinator who would do his joint project during the day and study for his additional course during the night.
- Make sure you start your project way before others
I will strongly recommend not joining IIT if your goal is to prepare for GATE or IES as you will be stealing someone else’s seat unnecessarily.
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.
IIT Delhi's average package 2023 is not released as IIT Delhi placements 2023 are ongoing. However, based on past data, a considerable hike in the average package offered was observed over the past three years during IIT Delhi UG 5-year. These variations have been tabulated below
