Founder, NextBigWhat

For a better understanding, I will compare both IIIT Delhi and NSIT Delhi based on some common aspects

  • Placement : The placement scenario of both the institutes is similar with IIIT Delhi having a slight advantage. NIST's median package stood at INR 16 LPA while IIIT Delhi's average package stood at INR 23.72 LPA
  • Campus : NSIT has a higher campus than IIIT Delhi but is old. IIIT Delhi is a relatively new institute so its infrastructure and campus facilities are modern.
  • Hostels : NSIT has bigger rooms than IIIT Delhi but IIIT DELHI has rooms with better facilities. There is the provision of AC at night in summer and a heater at night in winter.
  • Faculty : IIIT DELHI is the clear winner as its faculty pool is even better than some IITs.
  • Reputation : Being older NSIT enjoys a better brand value and recognition both in and outside India. 
  • Coding Culture : IIIT DELHI has a much better coding culture than NSUT because the institute is CS centered.
  • Fees : IIIT Delhi charges higher fees around ?4.62 Lakhs (1st Year Fees) while NSIT fees are around ?2.29 Lakhs (1st Year Fees)
  • Clubs : NSUT has a better campus life and extracurricular culture because of the various clubs so it has an edge in this aspect. 
  • Campus Life: IIIT Delhi has a very rigorous and tiresome campus life while NSIT has a more laid-back campus life. 
  • Curriculum : IIIT DELHI has a more updated and modern curriculum in comparison to NSITs outdated curriculum irreverent to the industrial trends.

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.

How good are DTU, BITS , NSIT and IIIT Delhi, as compared to each other in terms of placements and research opportunities?

TA
Tithi Aggrawal Posted On : August 23rd, 2023
Lives in New Delhi

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 

Institute

Number of recruiters

Number of Offers

Average CTC

Top Recruiters

IIIT Delhi

760

INR 23.72 LPA

Qualcomm, Microsoft, Amazon, Google, MathWorks, Dell,

DTU

2459

INR 15.16 LPA

Samsung, Instabase, Atlassian, Sprinklr, Amazon

NSIT

INR 16 LPA (Median)

Microsoft, Amazon, Texas Instrument, Google, Qualcomm

BITS Pilani

109

329

INR 30.37 LPA

Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Visa, Adobe, Cisco,

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.

Which one is better: DTU, NSIT or IIIT Delhi?

Sabeer Chalana Posted On : July 7th, 2023

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

  • NSIT is located in Dwarka. 
  • It functions under DU and offers a 4-year course for a bachelor of engineering. 
  • NSIT is an excellent choice for those who want to get IT-related branches like CSE, IT, and ECE. 
  • Most departments are at par with DTU departments 

DTU

  • DTU is a highly regarded technical institute offering superior quality BTech courses
  • This institute is well-known for core branches like CIVIL, Mechanical, and Electrical Engineering. 
  • The most reputed branch of DTU is Mechanical Engineering, often compared to IIT Delhi Mechanical Engineering.

IIIT Delhi

  • IIIT Delhi is the perfect destination for programming lovers
  • The CSE curriculum of IIIT Delhi is way better than that of DTU and NSIT.

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.

Which is the best between DTU & NSUT?

AB
Akriti Banerjee Posted On : July 5th, 2023
lives in New Delhi

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 

  • NSUT has a number of CS-related courses and gives an edge over its counterparts in terms of internships and placements.
  • NSUT does not function under the umbrella of DU anymore.
  • The authority of NSUT is very lethargic and thus the standards of fests conducted are also very poor. 
  • NSUT has very few core opportunities.
  • In NSUT, very few marks are allotted despite the students working hard. A poor GPA often affects your placements.
  • There are strict rules for attendance here so you might not be able to enjoy college life.

In all, DTU seems to be a better option than NSUT.

Which is better out of DTU, NSIT, VIT Vellore, BITS (any campus), NIT (top 3) and IIIT (Hyderabad and Delhi), placement-wise and education-wise?

AB
Akriti Banerjee Posted On : August 22nd, 2023
lives in New Delhi

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.

If NSIT gets placement of 1 crore while IIIT Delhi gts only 33 lakhs per annum, why isn't NSIT better than IIIT Delhi?

TA

Here are a few pros and cons of the institute that will help you understand this matter better

Pros

  • NSIT offers an excellent ROI considering its minimal fees and excellent scholarships, internship stipends, and placement opportunities. 
  • The academic workload is very low and studying a month prior is more than enough to ace the exams here. This helps you save time for MOOCs and build up your CV.
  • The quality of companies that visit for placement is top-notch. The institute welcomes diverse recruiters from silicon valley startups to very established big MNCs. 
  • NSIT Delhi has some of the most talented people taking admission here. The 1% of people in AIEEE or JEE-MAINS get to study here. An excellent peer culture helps you gain extra knowledge of life.
  • NSIT has a very rich coding culture and has produced some of the best coders. Online coding is common here and people can be seen involved in Codechef, SPOJ, Codeforces, and TopCoder.

Cons

  • The syllabus is outdated, obsolete, and fails to meet industry trends.
  • The faculty is pretty demotivated and has no interest in teaching. You will have to resort to self-study most of the time and seek help from your seniors.
  • Being a government college, getting some administrative work done is a big task. The results are often full of errors and approaching the administration and getting your query solved is difficult.
  • The research culture is pathetic here and the faculty do nothing to promote it among students. In fact, it’s difficult to even approach them for a project.

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.

What is the average package of NSIT COE?

TA
Tithi Aggrawal Posted On : August 19th, 2023
Lives in New Delhi

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- 

NSUT Delhi B.Tech Placements
Thus, the B.Tech placements are quite decent at NSUT. You can consult the department alumni to find out the median and average packages offered to the COE branch in particular.

What are all the companies that visit NSIT for placements?

SA
Simran Arora Posted On : August 21st, 2023
Studied CS from NSIT (2019)

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

Google

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.
