Is VIT better than DTU?
From what I have heard, VIT Vellore is a money-making machine that accepts donations and admits every kind of student irrespective of their academic profile. The rankings that claim VIT to be better than IITs are baseless and forged. Don’t fall into their trap and talk to the students directly. You will find most of them saying that the professors are underqualified, have no interest in teaching and the academic environment is deteriorating. VIT is just a private university like Amity that is attracting students through fake advertisements and donations.
I would recommend you go for a government institute like DTU instead that has a genuine brand value.
How is the BBA course in DTU?
DTU is a well-reputed college. It is known for its engineering courses. People assume that it is as good for BBA as engineering. Unfortunately, this is not the case.
The office staff at the East Delhi campus could be more supportive. They do not answer student queries, and keep on delaying responses to a later date. In the end, they put all the blame on students. Eventually, one is left with the only option of visiting the main campus for query resolution.
But the main campus staff responds that the entire work related to BBA/MBA is done on the East campus itself. As for BBA placements, they are below average at present. The packages are very low, and the placement percentage is nowhere near the promised 100%.
I recommend you look for other options for a BBA instead of DTU.
Which is better, NSIT or DTU?
My friend had to choose between DTU CSE and NSIT CSE and eventually went for DTU CSE after considering the below points
- Brand name: DTU enjoys better recognition both inside and outside Delhi because of its rich legacy while NSIT is hardly known outside Delhi.
- Alumni Network: Being one of the oldest technical institutes it has an extensive alumni network whereas NSIT was established much later and its alumni pool is small.
- Placements: Both NSIT and DTU give an edge to each other in terms of placements and their average package is quite similar. DTU average package stands at INR 15.16 LPA while NSIT median package stands at INR 16 LPA. However, DTU has a larger batch size so maintaining this average package in itself proves that it's better.
- Location: NSIT enjoys a better location and has easy access to shopping centers and eateries. It also attracts a better crowd than DTU.
- Campus: DTU has a better maintained and facilitated campus than NSUT. NSIT has a lot of unused land which has become a breeding ground for wild animals.
- Sports Facility: DTU is a clear winner here with its huge sports complex and indoor Badminton courts.
- Research culture: Both colleges have poor research culture so if you are a research enthusiast, choose IIIT Delhi instead.
The ultimate decision depends on personal factors like distance from home and other inclinations.

Among NIT Delhi, DTU, and NSUT, which one is better in terms of placement?
NIT Delhi is very young, and it can not be compared to NSUT and DTU. Now the better option among these two depends on your branch choice. If you want to opt for CoE/IT/ECE, NSUT has slightly better placements in these branches. But in core branches (Civil, Electrical, Mechanical, Poly), DTU has a really good placement record. Moreover, DTU has a great campus life.
How is life at DTU?
Life at DTU is magical and surreal. It’s a rare experience and once you leave the college it will dawn on you how precious your time spent here was. The students live a carefree life here and pursue their passion alongside academics. DTU has given birth to many artists, musicians, singers, orators, dancers, writers, programmers, and athletes. Those who claim DTU students are bookworms have it wrong, as all kinds of talents are cultivated here.
To break the periodical monotony of campus life, frequent fests are held that are enough to increase the spirit tenfold. Engifest is one of the most awaited events in Delhi. The night events are vibrant and the students have the best days of their life during this fest. Another great event is the Literary Fest wherein you will be meeting well-reputed people in poetry, writing, and whatnot.
DTU even organized the Tomatina Fest in the form of a Color Run. You can explore the campus and find many eateries serving delicious food. The main canteen serves the tastiest samosas you have ever eaten while the Mic-mac canteen serves non-veg and Paranthas.
As for the academic life, it’s not very rigorous like other colleges. You can survive by doing self-study during exams. You will also enjoy the happening nightlife here.
Which should I choose, MNNIT Allahabad CSE or DTU SE?
MNNIT Allahabad offers good CSE. In terms of opportunities, MNNIT CSE is at par with top NITs (and even some IITs). As for course curriculum and faculty, these are almost equally good at all top engineering colleges. During 2023 placements, the highest package for CSE at MNNIT was 1.35 CPA, and the average package was 27.57 LPA. SE is comparatively easier than CSE or IT, but it offers similar placement opportunities to its students. SE students are eligible for companies seeking CSE/IT students.
Both the colleges are highly reputed, and you can choose either of them for your B.Tech studies.
Which is better NIT Trichy or DTU?
NIT Trichy is probably more known to the general public across India. It has better faculty, research opportunities and infrastructure compared to DTU. On the other hand, DTU has a locational advantage, and it offers better exposure to its students.
Both the colleges have a great coding culture and good placements. Both are excellent institutes with a lot of prestige. You must choose between them on the basis of branch and other personal preferences.
Why is CSE at NSIT considered better than CSE at DTU?
There are many reasons why some students prefer CSE at NSIT to CSE at DTU. I have listed some strong reasons below:
- NSIT has a smaller batch size which in turn means the level of competition faced by the students is comparatively low. You can get good job profiles way more easily than at an institute with a higher intake like DTU.
- NSIT awards you a degree from DU, one of the most globally recognized and reputed universities. This helps you pursue higher studies in foreign countries easily.
- Quite a few NSIT students are able to secure high packages in top companies like Facebook while DTU because of its large batch size has only a few that get 1 cr+ packages.
- One of the major reasons why someone would prefer NSIT over DTU is that it’s quite difficult to get a hostel in DTU especially if you are a resident of Delhi.
If you consider these reasons valid, go for NSIT instead of DTU.
Is it worth doing an M.Tech from DTU?
Whether or not you should consider doing an M.Tech from DTU depends on several factors. These factors are-
- Brand Name- If you wish for the tag of a prestigious institution to be attached to your degree, DTU is the right choice for you. My sister had done her B.Tech from a college that is not well known, so she decided to go for her M.Tech from DTU to get the DTU tag.
- Placements- DTU has a good placement record. This is especially true for the CS and IT branches.
- Poor Research Environment- If you wish to go for research, DTU will disappoint you. The faculty will only be there to ‘support’, you will be on your own. The research facilities are also not up to the mark. The seniors are helpful. Overall, the environment is not very nourishing for research endeavors.
Even the teaching is not up to the mark.
- Other options- An M.Tech degree from DTU is equivalent to an M.Tech degree from a good NIT. If Delhi is the place for you, you should choose DTU or the nearest good NIT.
- Preparation- If you wish to go for teaching as a profession, you will get ample time to prepare for your NET/JRF during your M.Tech from DTU.
Even if you wish to go for government jobs after your M.Tech, you will get ample time for your preparation.
For hostel facilities, food, location, library, and study environment, DTU is a good university.
You must consider all these factors before choosing or not choosing DTU for your M.Tech. Overall, DTU is a prestigious and well-known university.
