Among the aforementioned institutes, NSUT, DTU, and IIIT Delhi are tier-1 Engineering colleges while COEP, RVCE, and BMS are Tier-2 colleges. Here is a general comparison between the two groups of people institutes

First Group

  • The first group comprises the best technical colleges in India. These colleges are excellent choices for COE, IT, and ECE. 
  • These colleges have a good reputation and have strong alumni backing them.
  • If you are getting COE, IT, or ECE in these colleges don’t even think of joining the colleges in the second group.

Second group

  • The colleges in this group can be given preference if you fail to make it to the colleges in the first group. 
  • If you are getting branches like CS, IT, and ECE, choose the colleges in the following order COEP >> RVCE > BMS
  • COEP is one of the oldest engineering colleges in India and was ranked 101 out of 200 in India in 2022 by NIRF. It has an excellent placement record and might even become a tier-1 college in the future.
  • RVCE and BMS are decent colleges and can be placed above colleges such as Manipal and SRM. 
  • Another great option is IIIT Bangalore, the third-best IIIT, which is well-known for its CSE course

Hope the comparison was clear and will help you in making your decision.

What would be a comparison between CSE at IIIT Delhi and IIIT Bangalore?

SK

Based on my research, I will present some points to support the opinion that I will put by the end of my answer-

  • Faculty- The faculty of IIIT Delhi is considered to be one of the best in India. The college offers top-quality classroom teaching. But even IIITB has good professors. 
  • Curriculum- IIITD offers the most relevant and flexible curriculum for B.Tech CSE. They will teach you core CS from the first year itself. Even IIITB teaches core CS from the first year, but it started with iM.Tech quite recently, in 2017. IIITB doesn’t offer B.Tech courses. 
  • Funding and perks- As IIIT Delhi is a state government-run institute, it gets funding and other perks.
  • Infrastructure and Internet facilities- Being a new institute, IIIT Delhi has better infrastructure and Internet facilities. 

IIIT Bangalore is a better choice for an M.Tech CS, based on curriculum, placements, etc. But as far as UG studies are concerned, B.Tech CS at IIIT Delhi is better than iM.Tech CS at IIIT Bangalore.

Is it important to learn any coding language before taking admission in IIIT Delhi, and if not, which programming language would you recommend I start studying just for fun?

AB

Yes, it's advisable to learn a coding language before being admitted to IIIT Delhi although it's not completely necessary. IIIT Delhi organizes some coding sessions during the orientation for people with non-CS backgrounds. If you have no knowledge of coding, you don't have to worry much because many non-CS students have launched successful startups. All you need is the determination to work hard and interest to learn new things. 

If you are adamant about learning a programming language, choose Python. You will be introduced to the world of programming through this and get excellent exposure too.

Why should I take IIIT Delhi over DTU and NSIT?

SK
Sanjana Kapoor Posted On : October 5th, 2023
Lives in New Delhi

One simple yet concrete reason to choose IIIT Delhi over DTU or NSIT is the quality of education it offers. IIIT Delhi is known to have some of the most highly experienced faculty, top-notch infrastructure, and a well-updated curriculum. Many students from other colleges, even IITs, often come to IIIT Delhi for internships. 

As far as placements are concerned, one must understand that getting a job after 4 years is important but not more than a successful long-term career. That being said, the quality of education affects your long-term career largely. You may or may not get placed in a big MNC if you join IIIT Delhi, but in the long run, you will certainly become successful. Also, the statistics show that NSIT has better placements than IIIT Delhi but in reality, these figures are inflated because of one or two international packages.

So, it’s best to focus only on the quality of education, and you will see how a long-term successful career unfolds itself before you.

Should I join Manipal Institute of Technology or IIITD?

TA
Tithi Aggrawal Posted On : September 8th, 2023

My brother was in a similar dilemma when he got CS in Manipal as well as IIIT Delhi. After consulting a few friends at Manipal, he decided to go for IIIT Delhi. He stated the following reasons for choosing IIIT Delhi over MIT Manipal.

  1. Selection Criteria : Manipal selection criteria a relatively easier selection criteria than the JEE Main + CBSE criteria IIITD uses. There isn't any kind of negative marking and focus is given to the English language. Thus, the crowd may not be as talented and intellectual as IIIT Delhi.
  2. CSE : I wouldn't be exaggerating if I said IIIT Delhis CSE program is at par with the IITs. The faculty is highly qualified and the curriculum is very dynamic. The first year is branch-specific and does not have common subjects.
  3. Higher Studies : IIIT Delhi students are exposed to some of the best research and projects. The faculty's Letter of recommendation can help shape your career for the better.
  4. Placements : IIIT Delhi does not have mass recruiters and very limited non-tech companies. The overall placement stats are excellent.

If you want laid-back academics with a vibrant campus life, your choice should be Manipal whereas if you want a rigorous curriculum, then go for IIIT Delhi. It’s just a question of what your priorities are.

Which has a beautiful campus, DTU NSIT or IIITD?

AB
Akriti Banerjee Posted On : August 23rd, 2023

As a student of DTU, I can tell you about its campus. Once you enter DTU, you will be mesmerized by its beauty. It has a lush green campus with beautiful blossoms. Apart from the natural beauty of this place, the classrooms, labs, canteen area, and shops are in good condition as well. During the rainy season, the surroundings become even more captivating. Students try quite hard to get admission into DTU and NSUT Delhi because of their amazing campus life. My friend tried really hard to get admission into DTU.

Thus, DTU has a beautiful vibrant campus and its students share a common opinion in this respect. NSUT Delhi and IIITD are good colleges as well. You should talk to their alumni to find out more about them.

AB

IIIT Delhi criteria for MTech interview has been changed recently. It has removed the CodeChef round for the shortlisting of students. Now, there are 2 ways to apply

  • GATE Mode: In this, the shortlisting is based on CGPA / percentage and GATE score. Once the students have been shortlisted based on GAT scores, they are directly called for a personal interview for the final selection. 
  • Non-GATE Mode: In this mode, the shortlisting criteria for the first round is percentage or CGPA followed by a written test and an interview.

Hope this helps you!

What rank in GATE is required to get into IIIT Delhi for an MTech in CSE?

AM
Ashwin Mahajan Posted On : October 4th, 2023
studied at Indraprastha Institute of Information Technology, Delhi (2020)

IIIT Delhi considers both your GATE rank and UG percentage for admissions into M.Tech. You can apply through two categories- GATE and Non GATE.

For shortlisting GATE candidates, GATE rank and UG percentage are considered. 2500 GATE rank and 75% UG score is enough to get shortlisted for M.Tech CSE. This is followed by an interview.

Non-GATE candidates are shortlisted based on their UG percentage. Around 75% is enough to be shortlisted for M.Tech CSE. Once shortlisted, you’ll have to give a written test followed by an interview. Non-GATE qualifiers don’t get a stipend during their M.Tech.

IIIT Delhi frequently changes its selection criteria. Earlier Codechef's long score was considered during selections, but not now. College toppers and ICPC participants have better selection chances than the others.

SK
Sanjana Kapoor Posted On : November 30th, 2023

Colleges like NSUT and MNNIT Allahabad have a legacy built over many years. IIIT Delhi will take some time to catch up to the reputation of these colleges.

Regardless, I have tried to rank the three on several parameters, for their CS (CoE) program-

  • Coding Culture- NSUT has the best coding culture, followed by MNNIT.
  • Curriculum- IIITD has the best curriculum, followed by MNNIT.
  • Research and Higher Studies- IIITD offers the best research prospects, followed by NSUT.
  • Fests and Clubs- NSUT offers the best fests and clubs, followed by IIITD.
  • Infrastructure and facilities- NSUT has the best infrastructure among the three, while MNNIT lags far behind the other two.
  • Peer performance- NSUT has the best peer performance, followed by IIITD.
  • Faculty-IIITD has the best faculty, while MNNIT and NSUT are at par.
  • Alumni Network- MNNIT has a slightly better alumni network than NSUT, while IIITD lags far behind the other two.

Regardless of whichever college you choose for your CS (CoE), your success will come from your own efforts. By studying diligently and polishing your skills, you will land a well paying job, regardless of your graduation college.
