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.
Some points related to IIT Delhi MTech CSE placements are
- The highest package this year was recorded at around INR 4 CPA while the median salary stood at INR 15 LPA.
- 80% of the batch was placed with major recruiters such as ACCENTURE, Barclays Bank, Capgemini, Deloitte, Flipkart, GAIL(Gas AuthorityOf India Ltd), Hindustan Unilever, ICICI Securities, Morgan Chase
- IIT Delhi CS students are offered the highest packages with some even ranging in crores from US giants like Facebook, Microsoft, and Twitter.
- Many students after doing a corporate job for 1-2 years, aim for higher studies

- Job offers to MTech CS students are made from a variety of companies like international technology majors, exciting startups, and financial giants as well as public sector majors.
Overall, the placements for IIT Delhi MTech in CSE are decent and one need not worry much.
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.
IIT Madras electrical engineering or IIT Delhi electrical engineering, which is the best?
Unless you are considering IIT Delhi because of its location advantage, IIT Madras is the best option. No one ever leaves IIT Madras disappointed. Another factor people consider is the environment provided by the Institute. Most North Indians consider the culture at IIT Madras way different and thus end up losing focus and motivation. If you are affected by such elements, choose the Institute you think will have a culture and people similar to your tastes.
Many North Indians are settling well in IIT Madras and ending up in the top 5% of the batch. So what matters is that the Institute you are choosing should provide the kind of environment that motivates you to learn and excel.
You will face tremendous competition and thus you will have to stay focussed and motivated to do well in that kind of environment. It is extremely necessary to choose the right environment for you as you will be spending 4 years of your life there.
Thus if a certain Institute, for instance, IIT Madras has more facilities than IIT Delhi but you stay among average students in IIT Madras but among the top 5% in IIT Delhi, then the right option for you is IIT Delhi.
How is Mtech in IIT Delhi compared to Mtech in IISC Banglore in Computer Science?
One of my friends had both options, MTech in IIT Delhi and MTech in IISc Bangalore, however, despite his hailing from Delhi, he chose IISc Bangalore over IIT Delhi. Some strong reasons which influenced his decision were
- The Institute has excellent research facilities and approaches second to no other engineering Institute in India.
- IISc Bangalore does not have a BTech program and thus the entire focus of the faculty resources, education, and resources are invested in the Master's program unlike IIT Delhi, where BTech is given more importance.
- IIT Delhi has a higher intake of UG students than PG students and they are given more preferences and attention than UG students.
- Being situated in Bangalore, the IT hub of India IISC has close ties with IT companies visiting frequently for some or other events or technical competitions
- Most GATE toppers prefer IISc or IIT Bombay over IIT Delhi and so do the companies offering placements.
- The overall ambiance of campus life is more tranquil in IISc Bangalore than in IIT Delhi which is an overly populated and polluted city.
- IISc is being recognized by foreign universities and one can pursue their Ph.D. with a degree from IISc.
All these pointers strongly inclined my friend towards IISc and he eventually completed his MTech from there.
What is the selection criteria for MBA at IIT Delhi?
The selection criteria for MBA at IIT Delhi are as follows
- A Bachelor's Degree or equivalent awarded by any of the universities incorporated by an act of the central or state legislature in India or other educational institutions established by an act of Parliament or declared to be deemed as a University under Section 3 of the UGC Act, 1956, or possess an equivalent qualification recognized by the Ministry of HRD, Government of India. The bachelor's degree or equivalent qualification obtained by the candidate must entail a minimum of three years of education after completing higher secondary schooling (10+2) or equivalent.
- A minimum of 60% marks in aggregate (of all the years/semesters) or 6.75 CGPA on a 10-point scale or equivalent in the qualifying degree.
- A relaxation of 5% in marks (i.e. min. 55%) or equivalent in CGPA (i.e. min. 6.25 on a 10-point scale) for the SC/ST candidates.
- Relaxation in criteria for PH candidates may be as per the Institute rules.
Anyone who meets the above criteria is eligible for admission to DMS, IIT Delhi, provided he clears the interview round.
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!
