When it comes to labs and professors, they are knowledgeable but strict. Backlog is much more likely, and attendance is extremely important. Now if you look at the placement record. In recent years, placement has been ideal. About half of the batch is being placed.
Textile engineering has a placement rate of 54.17%. Students are mostly placed in core companies such as Trident, Reliance Manufacturing, Reliance Petrochemical, Nahar Textile, and others.
While many might suggest you go for DTU CS, and not run after the IIT tag, my opinion may vary. Had I been in your place, I would have chosen IIT Delhi any day over DTU because the exposure, opportunities, brand value, research opportunities, and top-notch education that come with it are worth a few boring Textile Courses.
Most importantly, IIT Delhi allows you to take electives in the field of your choice and you can always opt for CS electives for better placements. Some common courses undertaken by students who opt for non-core placements are
With the right balance of basic textile education and these courses, you can avail of both, CS education as well as IIT tag. However, you will have to study some courses in which you are least interested, thereby wasting your time. This sacrifice is justifiable when you keep in mind the CS faculty of IIT Delhi which is far better than DTU.

In all truth, Textile technology at IITD does not do justice to the name and fame of the institute. Don’t choose this course just for the IIT tag as you will end up really disappointed.
LD College of Engineering is a reputed engineering college affiliated to Gujarat Technological University (GTU) and is also overlooked by the Department of Technical Education, Govt. of Gujarat. The L.D.C.E Department of Textile Technology covers modern spindle and spinning production, production processes for apparel, textile science, physical screening, software-enabled production, and wet manufacturing layout.
Academics:
While the Textile technology program was started in the year 1977, the Textile Engineering course (post-graduation) is relatively new and started in the year 2010.
The undergraduate Textile Technology course has an intake of 60 students while the post-graduation Textile Engineering course takes around 18 students every year.
The department is headed by Mr. Ashwin Thakkar with six other Assistant professors.
Admission:
10+2 with a minimum of 45% pass percentage is required along for a bachelor’s degree and for MTech students require graduation.
GUJCET and GATE are the entrance exams accepted in the institute.
The tentative cut-off of the course is 6819-14369.
The tuition fee for BE Textile Technology and MTech Textile Engineering is INR 9,520.
Facilities:
The department has laboratories like Spinning Lab, Weaving Lab, Fabric Structure Lab, Processing Laboratory, Knitting Lab.
The LDCE library has 90520 books, 33726 titles, CDs/DVDs, 53 print journals, and 1326 e-books.
Industrial visits to Adani Foundation and Plasma Research happen quite frequently for the students.
Placements:
The Placement Cell provides expert lectures, industry visits, recruitment training as well as industrial training for the students of the college.
Welspun, Accenture, and Bhilwara Group are the top recruiters of Textile students.
The placement rate of the university is around 85%.
In 2019, 28 students of the course received job offers by the recruiting companies.
Over 2244 students have been successfully employed in the last four years, out of which 122 are Textile graduates.
The Textile technology course has a wide scope in several areas such as sales, R&D, production control, corporate management, etc. It is essential that the student makes their academic choices keeping in mind the college, faculty, department, placement prospects, and campus facilities.

However, you should choose the course in which you have interest.
Top engineering colleges like IIT Delhi, NSIT, School of Planning and Architecture, Delhi, College of Art, Delhi, and even the famous Faculty of Management Studies have branched out from DCE. Major differences between these Engineering institutes include
Ultimately students prefer IITs over other engineering colleges mainly because they are government bodies and have earned global recognition.
IIT Delhi Textile department is still in its infancy and unfortunately, is one of the least demanded branches. The scope and opportunities offered are meager. To put it rightly, it does not do justice to the brand name of IIT Delhi.
Many people think that this branch might somehow open opportunities for them if they involve themselves in extracurricular activities and so but then the entire purpose of the department is negated. Still, for the most desperate, this might be the only option. So, it’s advisable to go to this branch only if it’s the last option you have.
Department change is a very common debate among IITians so let me state some important points regarding the same to answer your question in a better way.
Now if we roughly calculate 6-7 students from a textile branch out of 55 are eligible for branch change. The competition seems to be tough and you are required to maintain a certain CGPA to target a certain branch. The CG required to transfer to the following branches are
If you are confident that you can achieve the required CG with the given competition, you can take them risk. But hear me out, even if you don’t manage to do so, remember branches can be switched in MTech too. Moreover, doing BTech from IIT Delhi will only open more opportunities and won't become a disappointment.
My sister was a student at IIT Delhi in Textile Engineering and shared the disappointing experience that made her regret her decision a lot. The department is in its infancy and is the least demanded branch. Likewise, it offers the least average package at around INR 13 LPA and the lowest at INR 6 LPA.
The branch does not do justice to the institute's brand name and thus I strongly recommend you against joining Textile Engineering at IIT Delhi.
