For CS, DTU will be the better choice. Given below are the reasons for choosing DTU over the other institutes.

Advantages - DTU:
Even if you realize after a few months of your course that engineering is not for you, you will still get to learn a lot from the campus culture.
If you are looking for the best college for CS then go for DTU among the aforementioned institutes. Although all the colleges will offer great opportunities, DTU has an upper hand in certain areas.
Ultimately a college can only give you the initial kick in your career but the rest depends on your hard work and determination!
For a better understanding, I will compare both IIIT Delhi and NSIT Delhi based on some common aspects
Overall, if you want a rigorous campus life more focused on academics choose IIIT Delhi but if you are looking for a relaxed experience NSIT is the one for you.
All the aforementioned institutes, DTU, BITS, NSIT, and IIIT Delhi are excellent colleges that are well-recognized in the tech sector. As a whole the curriculum and placement opportunities for CS offered by these colleges are quite similar. The average package varies slightly but the individual differences compensate for that. Here is a comparative analysis of the placement statistics of these colleges

However, if you look from the angle of research , IIIT Delhi certainly is way ahead than the other colleges. Its research-oriented institute is primarily established to conduct cutting-edge research in the field of CS. While BITS Pilani also has a decent research culture, DTU, and NSUT are nowhere near IIIT Delhi in terms of research. IIIT Delhi students have a lot of projects to work on under highly learned and passionate faculties. The exposure these students receive is unmatched and they are offered excellent opportunities in terms of both in industry and for higher education.
So if you want both excellent placements and research opportunities go for IIIT Delhi but if you want a good campus life too that is less focused on research go for BITS Pilani.
All the colleges you mentioned; NSIT, DTU, and IIIT Delhi are run by the NCT government and have similar opportunities and brand value. The choice of the institute here depends more on personal factors than the institute itself.
NSIT:
DTU:
IIIT Delhi:
So, it precisely depends on the kind of branch you want to get if it’s all about programming go for IIIT Delhi, if it’s CSE, IT, or ECE go for NSIT but if it’s core branches like Mechanical, Electrical, or civil engineering DTU is the best option.
Both DTU and NSUT are tier-1 engineering colleges offering excellent education and opportunities to their students. However, while choosing one over the other you would like to consider the following points
In all, DTU seems to be a better option than NSUT.
On the basis of placements, I would rank the aforementioned institutes in the following order
Bits Pilani, Pilani Campus>|IT H>Bits Goa>Bits Hyderabad>Top 3 Nits>|IT Delhi/NSUT>DTU
BITS Pilani has a better placement scenario than IIIT Hyderabad although its average package is less than IIIT Hyderabad, this is because BITS has a number of branches and the average package is calculated after considering the packages of all branches whereas IIIT Hyderabad has only two branches ie CS and ECE. Both these branches are top branches so automatically its average package becomes higher than BITS Pilani. If you compare the placements of the CS branch alone, BITS Pilani will have the upper hand. However, if you want to pursue a career in research in CS, ten choosing IIIT Hyderabad will offer better opportunities. Basically, IIIT Hyderabad will make you a better coder whereas BITS Pilani will make you a better engineer.
It's important to note that the above ranking is based on placements alone and if you consider the research culture, then NITs will fare better than BITS mainly because they are government institutes and receive huge funds solely for the purpose of research.
Here are a few pros and cons of the institute that will help you understand this matter better
Pros
Cons
Overall, the institute offers a plethora of opportunities, especially in the IT sector but the quality of academics is a bit on the average side. As for your question, the yearly compensation is not 1 crore but much less. The figures are misleading and pay us just like what Google would pay in India around INR 24-25 LPA.
Instead of checking the average package, you should check the median package. This is because the average package does not always give an accurate picture. If a student from that branch/course gets placed in say, Google or Facebook at a package of around 1CPA, this would drastically lift the average package figure.
On the other hand, the median package is the salary in the middle when salaries are arranged in an increasing/ decreasing order. The median package offered to the B.Tech students at NSUT for 2022 placements was INR 16 LPA.
Here is the year-wise salary trend for B.Tech placements at NSUT-
The TnP cell of NSUT Delhi does not release the salaries offered by the companies so I too will only be stating the name of the visiting companies only.
Over the last few years, NSUT has welcomed many MNCs that recruit the most talented minds of NSUT. Some of the top recruiters that visited the campus for the placement drive include
|
Avaya |
Deloitte |
Honeywell |
HCL |
IBM |
Ibibo |
Digital Green |
GRMALTO |
Ciena |
Amdocs |
Axtria |
Flipkart |
McKinsey |
Sokrati |
Snapdeal |
Bharti Airtel |
Futures First |
Mu-Sigma |
Tata Consultancy Services |
Try to score a minimum of 70% if you want to be eligible for most of the top tech companies. But if you want to get into a non-tech company, then 65% will get you enough offers. Remember that college only offers you the first job and it’s you who has to shape the rest of your career.
