Which is better, NSIT or DTU?

One of my friends is a student at DTU. He had the choice of taking admission in any of the courses at these colleges. Given below is a comparison of both these colleges.

Traveling Distance:

• If you are not opting for a PG or hostel, you should consider the distance of the institutes from your home. Choose the institute closer to your home. Otherwise, you will lose 2-3 hours in commute, daily. You will almost waste 1500 in the 4-year duration. The total time you invested in preparing for JEE may be less than that.

Peer-group: (DTU~NSIT)

• The quality of the peer-group at both NSIT and DTU are almost similar. You will have the brightest mind of the country as your peer at both institutes.
• You can hear people say that the cutoff for COE at NSIT is better than DTU. This is only normal as NSIT has a much smaller batch size as compared to DTU. 
• As of 2020 statistics, NSIT is preferred for CO, CSAI. Whereas, DTU is unparalleled for ECE & Mech.
• Students from outside of Delhi tend to prefer DTU. It is also observed that reserved category students prefer DTU more.

Curriculum: (DTU~NSIT)

• At NSIT and DTU, students can choose electives from the first-year. 
• The syllabus has recently been revised in both organizations; both the institutes implement the CGPA framework. 
• DTU follows a relative grading system. DTU also allows for taking online courses (MOOCs).

Faculty: (NSIT>DTU)

NSIT may have slightly better faculty. However, at both the colleges, you will learn more through peer-learning than from faculty.

Placement: (DTU>NSIT) 

• For software job profiles NSIT is better. Whereas, DTU is better for core and non-tech job profiles. 
• Many may say DTU has a disadvantage of larger batch size which results in bad placement. This is not the case, in fact, the competition keeps you motivated to deal well.
• The median salary at DTU is 11.17 LPA. For average students, DTU offers better placement. NSIT may offer one or two better placement offers if you belong to the top of your class.

College Life: (DTU>>NSIT)

College life at DTU is much better than NSIT. 

• The rules and regulations at NSIT are very strict. There are records of freshers’ welcome being canceled and fests organized at the last minute at NSIT.
• DTU administration has a more chilled approach. It conducts 5 or more fests every year. 
• Recently DTU started an attendance app and students need to maintain at least 50% attendance.

Coding Culture: (DTU~NSIT)

• Coding culture at both the institutes is on par. Since you can learn everything about coding from the internet.
• In the past, NSIT students showed brilliance in coding competitions like Coding Blocks, Ninjas. However, the GSoC section was better at DTU.

Hostel: (NSIT>DTU)

If you want a good hostel life then NSIT is better.

Laboratories: (DTU>NSIT)

For Mechanical and Electronics laboratory facilities at DTU is better. Currently, the ECE department at DTU is involved in some of the state-of-the-art works.

To your next-door neighbor, DCE (DTU Delhi) is more recognizable. In the tech-industry NSIT and DTU, both are equally reputed. DTU campus has better utilization of space and it is quite beautiful. However, at both campuses construction work is going on currently. DTU has wonderful facilities for all sports like football, cricket, table tennis, badminton, Kabaddi, etc.
