If I was in your place and had to choose between the aforementioned institutes, I would set my preference order as follows
NSIT IT >= DTU IT > DTU SE > MNNIT CSE
The reason I have placed NSIT and DTU in the first place is because of their location in the capital city. This opens multiple doors of opportunities and exposure that might not be available in other colleges. Also, the quality of students these colleges attract is top notch and you will end up befriending some of the most genius minds.
However, if you are passionate about programming and CS, then choose IIIT Delhi because its curriculum and overall ambiance are CS oriented. The research culture and facilities here are unmatched and students conduct high-end research under the guidance of some great faculty.
Your last option should be MNNIT mainly because of its poor location.
Hope this helped you make a wise decision!
If you are genuinely interested in ECE then you should opt for MAIT. Although from the viewpoint of future prospects, NIT ICE is far better than MAIT ECE.

MAIT and NSUT are two of the top private engineering colleges in India. MAIT is ranked 41st by India Today, and NSUT is ranked 76th in India by the NIRF in 2020. Both MAIT and NSUT offer BTech programs for IT.
The total seats in the IT branch at MAIT are 180 with a total tuition fee of Rs 4.69 lakhs. The total seats in the ECE branch at NSUT are 180, with a total tuition fee of Rs 7.81 lakhs.
Admission:
Admission in both the colleges is based on the scores obtained in the JEE Main examination, with 55% and 60% in the 10+2 examination for MAIT and NSUT, respectively.
Candidates need to go through the GGSIPU counseling for securing a seat in MAIT, and JAC Delhi counseling for NSUT.
The cut-off ranks for the colleges are given below.
MAIT |
General- 42615(Delhi), 27611(Outside Delhi) |
NSUT |
General- 8317 |
Placements:
MAIT- At MAIT, the IT branch has one of the highest placement records.
The highest salary package offered is around 28 LPA, and the lowest is around 3.3 LPA, and the average is around 5 LPA.
More than 40 companies come for placements in the IT branch.
Some of the companies that come for recruitment are Infosys, TCS, Wipro, HCL Technologies, Nagar, Accenture, and IBM.
NSUT- It has some of the top companies in India visiting for placements, including international companies.
The placement record of the ECE branch is pretty decent, around 90%.
The maximum package offered is 22 LPA; the minimum package offered is 3 LPA.
Companies like D. E Shaw, Amazon, Microsoft, and Sprinklr come to the campus for recruitment.
Infrastructure:
MAIT- The campus of MAIT is relatively small but has all the necessary facilities required by students. Facilities include Wi-Fi, smart classrooms, libraries, and sports facilities.
NSUT-
It has a massive air-conditioned library of three floors containing books written by national and international authors.
Classrooms are spacious, and the entire campus is Wi-Fi enabled.
NSUT also has excellent sports facilities with badminton, basketball, and tennis courts, and also grounds for football, cricket, and running tracks.
In terms of academics, both the colleges have a dedicated group of faculties who support and guide their students. The student to faculty ratio at MAIT is around 70:1, and at NSUT it is almost the same. The faculties at NSUT are highly qualified but extremely strict, and the course curriculum is updated. As for which institute will be better for you, you should be the one to decide that.
If you are trying to compare two colleges, such as NSIT and DTU, it is recommended to choose the one that is closer to your place. This will make it easier for you to commute, save time, and avoid any unnecessary expenses related to travel and accommodation.
However, when it comes to comparing NSUT (NSIT) and MNNIT Allahabad, NSUT (NSIT) does have an advantage. NSUT (NSIT) is considered one of the top engineering colleges in India, known for its excellent infrastructure, faculty, and research facilities. It offers a wide range of undergraduate and postgraduate programs in engineering, science, and technology.
On the other hand, MNNIT Allahabad is also a reputed engineering college but is located in a smaller city as compared to NSUT (NSIT). The city may not offer the same exposure and opportunities that Delhi can provide, especially in terms of internships, industrial visits, and campus placements.
Therefore, if you have the option to choose between NSUT (NSIT) and MNNIT Allahabad, it may be advisable to opt for NSUT (NSIT) if you are looking for a top-tier engineering college in a metropolitan city. However, this decision ultimately depends on your individual preferences and priorities, and you should weigh all the factors before making a final decision.
Lateral entry is not applicable for government engineering colleges that follow the JAC Delhi admission process. So NSUT does not allow lateral entry for any of the B.Tech branches, including Civil.
On the other hand, PTU has the provision of lateral entry into Civil Engineering. But the requirement for the same is a polytechnic diploma in Civil.
If you wish to work in the government sector, there are very few jobs in CSE but if you want to go for corporate work life, you should go with CSE.
Considering placements, if you opt for CS at NSUT, the average package at NSUT is around 14 LPA and the median package is around 8 LPA considering some international offers which increase the average package by a huge amount. In IIT Bhubaneshwar, people from Civil get jobs in both core and software companies. The packages range from 6 LPA to 39 LPA with an average somewhere around 11.4 LPA.
The campus life at IIT Bhubaneshwar is better as compared to that at NSUT. There are three fests, many science, and non-technical clubs, etc. There are E-classrooms in the campus with faculty to student ratio of around 15:1. The infrastructure, being newly built, is quite impressive with good classrooms and hostels.
Comparison of IIIT Delhi over DTU and NSIT should be based on some criteria:
According to IIITD, in 2019 B.Tech CSE placed 98.96% of students and B.Tech ECE placed 94.59% of students. The average salary of the last batch is Rs. 15 lakhs. In the case of NSIT, they record around 90% of placement every year. The average salary of the last B.Tech batch is around 8 lakhs per year. DTU also gives around 11.17 lakhs per annum with 70-80% student’s placement per year.
Established in 2008, IIITD has a cutting edge infrastructure with high tech equipment. In NSIT, you might still find 2nd gen. computers. The institute has no A.C facility in labs, classrooms. And in DTU, the operative condition of instruments is also weak, even not fully connected to Wi-Fi.
In the case of academic blocks and hostel facilities, IIITD has an auditorium and a total of 25 lecture halls of varying sizes. At present, there is one hostel for boys and one for girls. NSIT has 2 girl’s hostels and 2 boy’s hostels. Hostel life is wonderful in DTU. Hostel infrastructure is good along with badminton and TT court inside. There are 5 hostels for boys and 3 for girls.
In IIITD, the Library has a large collection of print and electronic media. With this, the institute has fully connected through the internet connection. The condition of the library of NSIT and DTU is also good, but the condition of books and print media is less compared to IIITD.
IIITD is nearly Rs. 3,60,000 per year for B.Tech in 2019 -20, for M.Tech (CSE/ECE) 2019 it is nearly Rs.1,85,000 which is high as compare to NSIT where for B.Tech nearly Rs. 1,66,000 per year (2019-20), and for M.Tech it is Rs. 1,86,000. Whereas DTU charges Rs. 1,95,000 for B.Tech and for M.Tech it is Rs. 1,66,000.
The IIITD got rank through NIRF 55th in India. Whereas the NSIT ranked 11 among Engineering colleges by Outlook and 22 by the week in 2019. The DTU has got rank 36 for engineering by NIRF 2020.
