For software or circuital branches, all three of these institutes offer good placement opportunities. But if we compare among the three then IIT BHU and IIT Guwahati beats DTU, in terms of placement average, highest CTC, number of recruiters, number of international offers, etc. For branches like CSE/IT the average CTC offered at IIT BHU, IIT Guwahati, and DTU last year was INR 25 LPA, INR 20 LPA, and INR 11.17 LPA.
For core branches, only top IITs, BITS and some reputed state colleges like Jadavpur University offer decent placement opportunities. So, for core placement, DTU is way behind IIT BHU and Guwahati. DTU brings some good core recruiters but these are very few in number compared to the number of students. So, the competition to get core placements is too high at DTU.
The placements of environmental engineering at DTU are great. According to the placement highlights of 2019, the environmental engineering department received a total of 38 placement offers and 27 students from the department got placed. The highest CTC received by the students of this department was around 16 LPA in this academic season. In the past students of environmental engineering received placement packages up to 25 lakhs per annum. The company offering the package was Brother Industries and the post was software developer. Students are offered lucrative packages at reputed firms such as ZS, MuSigma, Deloitte, UHG, Practo, RNF, Printvenue, etc. These companies offer average placement packages of around 5-6 lakhs per annum for non-tech posts. However, placements are not too promising for core companies. But a number of software firms, consultancies, analytics, R&D, finance MNCs visit the campus for placement sessions.
When deciding between engineering branches, it is important to consider your future goals and current interests. Here are some points to help you make an informed decision:
In conclusion, both branches have their advantages, and the choice ultimately depends on your personal preferences and career goals. While DTU provides excellent exposure, CSE may be a better option if you plan to pursue an MS abroad.
ECE and IT are two completely different streams in the field of Engineering and hence, one must go for the stream he/she wants to pursue. However, choosing the right college to build a student’s career is also important. So the following points can be taken into consideration for choosing between IIEST Shibpur and Delhi Technological University(DTU). IIEST Shibpur is ranked 20th in India by NIRF / MHRD in the Year 2019. Whereas, DTU presently ranks 62 by the NIRF.
Cut-off: Both the institute takes admission based on a valid score in JEE Main followed by Joint Admission Counselling.
At IIEST Shibpur the JEE MAIN cut-off rank for taking admissions in IT was 9524 - 17031 in 2019.
At DTU the cut-off rank in ECE was 22258, in the same year.
Fees:
At DTU the average fees per year are 1.95 lakhs.
For IIEST Shibpur the average fees per year are 1.37 lakhs.
Thus in terms of fees, BTech in IIEST Shibpur costs less than that of DTU.
Placement:
Headed by a Renowned Ex IIT Director, IIEST Shibpur got the highest placement record of 75% in IT, last year. It witnessed the highest salary package of INR 39.12 LPA.
Whereas, 170 out of 192 that is 88.5% of students got placed in ECE in DTU. The highest salary for B.Tech ECE during the last placement was INR 39 LPA.
So, DTU is much ahead in terms of placements.
You can apply for any of the two colleges keeping in mind the above-mentioned comparisons. DTU and IIEST Shibpur are the two most renowned colleges in India. However, IIEST is ranked higher and offers better placement than DTU. Nevertheless, the first thing that you have to consider is which stream you want to study and then decide a college depending upon that. Now, if you haven't decided anything and is confused between the above two streams, then studying IT at IIEST Shibpur is a better option.
You should choose the branch you are more passionate about. If we look at the placement records of COE and IT at DTU and NSIT, they have similar placement stats.
For Core branches, DTU COE is a better alternative than IT at NSIT. But you should not base your decision depending solely on that factor.
Here are some of the important facts to be considered before applying to any of these colleges.
Student Intake:
Course Curriculum:
Placements: (NSIT IT ~ DTU COE)
The placement records of both DTU and NSIT are almost the same. An average salary of 10 LPA was offered at DTU whereas students at NSIT were given 9 LPA. It is clear that COE has slightly better placements than IT.
Preference Order: (NSIT IT>DTU COE)
You can look for additional details at the official website of both the colleges.
DTU offers a decent M.Tech program both in terms of academics and placements, so pursuing it or not depends on the student.
According to the NIRF Rankings, DTU ranks 34 among the top technological institutes of the country. The institute offers more than 25 M.Tech courses and the course fee for M.Tech programs is 1.66 lakh per year.
DTU holds an impressive placement record. According to the placement highlights of 2020, a total of 119 M.Tech students got placement offers during the placement drive. Computer Science Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, and Electronics and Communication Engineering were the branches that had the most number of placements offered. The department of Information Technology received the highest CTC, i.e, 18.5 LPA. Also, a total of 30 students got internship offers. Many big corporations visit the campus like Amazon, Facebook, Microsoft, Google, etc.
You should choose the college closer to your home. Both the colleges DTU and IIT Dhanbad are Tier-1 engineering colleges in India.

The more well-grounded and genuine way to become a Mechanical or Automobile Engineer in India is to become proficient in the GATE/ IES ME curriculum and participate in some competitive exams to secure a job in the government sector.
Mechanical engineering is getting outdated and people are not getting in any good place in India by doing Mechanical engineering. This program is even getting shut in various developed countries. So, choose wisely.
NSIT and DTU take admission through JEE Mains. If you are not interested in taking JEE Advanced next year for taking admission to IITs. You can apply for NSIT or DTU based on your JEE Mains score.

The ECE branch at DTU is very competent. It has a pool of talented, intelligent, and hardworking students. The reason being that the cutoffs for ECE usually are high. DTU ECE students get placed every year in MNCs like Qualcomm, SanDisk, TI, Samsung, and other such reputed firms that hire electronics engineers. A good percentage of the students also pursue an MS from renowned universities across the globe. Students also prepare for competitive exams like CAT, GATE, UPSE CSE, and even succeed in them.
The faculty here is very knowledgeable and teaches lucidly. They are also very lenient in their evaluation.
The curriculum is entirely focused on hardware, communication, computer architecture, advanced integrated circuits, signals and systems, superior probability, networking, and control systems. This is just a broad classification, the actual curriculum is vast, and students can find a lot of interesting sub-fields in electronics. The only drawback of the curriculum is that it does not offer any CSE electives. Assignments are scarce and can be efficiently dealt with as the solutions are readily available from various sources.
The workload is at the bare minimum level. The exams require just a couple of weeks of diligent studying. For the rest of the semester, one is free to explore his/her skills, hobbies, and interests.
75% and above GPA is straightforward to achieve and maintain. Pushing a bit more during the exam period can fetch even 80% and above. This all makes the college life here very exciting and rewarding. To sum up, ECE at DTU is a good option that can be exercised if one compares among the top NITs.
The placement statistics of Delhi Technical University are not declared by the training and placement department of the institute. But they do reveal the high- level packages that their students grab from reputed companies in Crores. The placements are decent and multiple core companies visit the campus for the placements like:
Almost 25 come to the campus for the placement programmes. The placement percentage is between 65 – 70% and the offer percentage is above 80%.
