Engineering Physics and EEE are two completely different branches of engineering. The former has more opportunities for higher studies and DTU offers great exposure for that. Many students went on to pursue MS in Ivy League Universities from the course. Whereas EEE has better placement. You should choose the course you are more interested in and the institute according to that.
B.tech. in Civil engineering is a flagship program of DTU. Admission is made on the basis of marks scored by a candidate in Class XII and candidate’s performance in JEE Main/ JEE Advance.The final selection of the program is based on the allocation of seats through Joint Seat Allocation Authority. The four-year program is an amalgamation of courses to help students understand thedesign and construction of various structures like bridges, buildings, roads, tunnels, and dams.
B.tech. in CSis a flagship program at bothUSIT and MAIT. Admission is made on the basis of candidate’s performance in JEE Mainas well as candidates need to sit for theIPUCET examination, which is conducted by the institute. The program is a dual degree course of 6 years, made by integrating B.tech and M.tech in CS.

It isn’t certain that you’ll get NSUT or DTU next year.
Also, if you plan to join some degree program during this year drop, preparing for your entrance will become even more hectic with your college studies. Dropping a year can take a toll on your mental health as well. Moreover, It will be much more disheartening if you are unable to get into DTU or NSUT even after a drop year.
I would personally recommend you join Jamia Hamdard University for your CS.
DTU is one of the best engineering colleges in North India, and its placements are at par with MNNIT Allahabad and NIT Jaipur.

These are some of the factors that you need to take into consideration while choosing between the two options. As for which one should you choose, you should be the one to decide that.
ECE and IT are two completely different streams in the field of Engineering and hence, one must go for the stream he/she wants to pursue. However, choosing the right college to build a student’s career is also important. So the following points can be taken into consideration for choosing between IIEST Shibpur and Delhi Technological University(DTU). IIEST Shibpur is ranked 20th in India by NIRF / MHRD in the Year 2019. Whereas, DTU presently ranks 62 by the NIRF.
Cut-off: Both the institute takes admission based on a valid score in JEE Main followed by Joint Admission Counselling.
At IIEST Shibpur the JEE MAIN cut-off rank for taking admissions in IT was 9524 - 17031 in 2019.
At DTU the cut-off rank in ECE was 22258, in the same year.
Fees:
At DTU the average fees per year are 1.95 lakhs.
For IIEST Shibpur the average fees per year are 1.37 lakhs.
Thus in terms of fees, BTech in IIEST Shibpur costs less than that of DTU.
Placement:
Headed by a Renowned Ex IIT Director, IIEST Shibpur got the highest placement record of 75% in IT, last year. It witnessed the highest salary package of INR 39.12 LPA.
Whereas, 170 out of 192 that is 88.5% of students got placed in ECE in DTU. The highest salary for B.Tech ECE during the last placement was INR 39 LPA.
So, DTU is much ahead in terms of placements.
You can apply for any of the two colleges keeping in mind the above-mentioned comparisons. DTU and IIEST Shibpur are the two most renowned colleges in India. However, IIEST is ranked higher and offers better placement than DTU. Nevertheless, the first thing that you have to consider is which stream you want to study and then decide a college depending upon that. Now, if you haven't decided anything and is confused between the above two streams, then studying IT at IIEST Shibpur is a better option.
Among these, IIEST Shibpur is better. It has maintained a good placement record over the years. IIEST Shibpur placements in 2022 ended with the highest CTC of INR 45 LPA. More than 1022 recruiting companies took part in the placement drive and made 776 job offers.
It has an active research interface. If you are interested in pursuing research projects, IIEST is the right place for you. Students of the institute get accepted into IVY league schools for higher studies.
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.
All the Colleges are considered to be among the best colleges to pursue Computer Science in India. NIT Surathkal, BITS-Hyderabad, DTU, and DA-IICT are ranked 13 (NIRF 2020), 47 (Jagran Josh), 36 (NIRF 2020), and 111 (NIRF 2020) respectively for BTech.

First of all, congratulations on securing such an impressive rank in JEE Main 2024. I am a second year B.Tech IT student at DTU.
20,000 is a pretty good rank and it will open ample branch options for you, even more if you are a Delhi Candidate. I have mentioned below the previous year JEE MAIN cutoff for B.Tech admissions at DTU-

B.Tech Biotechnology | 1,99,849 | 7,06,173 |
B.Tech Environmental Engineering | 2,03,503 | 8,81,148 |
Unfortunately, a rank of 20,000 in JEE MAIN won’t fetch you a seat in Computer Engineering / IT / Software Engineering at DTU. You won’t get admission into Mathematics & Computing or ECE if you are a non-delhi candidate. But all the other branches will be most certainly open for you. In case you are a Delhi candidate, things will be even more in your favor.
I hope you choose a good branch at DTU, and begin your journey at this esteemed engineering college.
