Is NIT Delhi going to become as good as DTU and NSIT (or even better) in the future in terms of placements, faculty, and campus life?
NIT Delhi was established in 2010 and is still struggling to make its mark in the education world. As for your question, if NIT Delhi will reach the level of DTU and NSIT soon, I feel that it certainly will. The following points support my stance further
- Every year, NIT Delhi has at least one student who gets ranked under 100 in GATE
- A student of NIT Delhi has gone for GSOC more than one time and is now a CERN(European Organisation for Nuclear Research)Geneva.
- NIT DELHI has highly qualified teachers and one of them worked in NASA, ISRO, and Japanese space organizations and then finally became a professor at NIT Delhi.
- NIT Delhi's first convocation ceremony’s Guest of Honor was Shri Pranab Mukherjee.
- The students here actively participate in research work and the Director itself has published 300 research papers in International/National journals.
- One of NIT Delhi's alumni has the honor of joining IIM Indore.
- NIT Delhi placement 2021 recorded an 88% placement percentage and top companies like Adobe, Amadeus, Avalara, and Code Nation visited the campus.
- NIT Delhi has the second fastest internet in India.
NIT Delhi may be lacking in terms of campus and alumni but it’s nothing that cannot be improved in the years to come!
Is NSIT suitable for M.Tech?
NSUT is a well-regarded institute in the field of engineering education but is yet to make its mark in the field. There are many other better engineering colleges out there that should be given preference over NSUT.
NSUT offers an MTech program in the following specializations
- Vlsi Design & Embedded System
- Cad/ Cam|Bioinformatics

What are the girl's hostel conditions at nsit?
You can put all your worries to rest regarding the hostel conditions at NSUT if you are a girl and be prepared for the best experience of your life.
The hostels have all kinds of rooms, single, double, and triple occupancy rooms. The triple occupancy rooms do not mean one room with three beds but three separate rooms for 3 girls that are interconnected. Every set of rooms has its own washroom.
Additionally, the girls' hostel is air-conditioned and isn’t overcrowded at all. Students of all branches stay together so you get a diverse experience.
The hostel and mess rules are more flexible for the girls' hostel than the boys' hostel. So come here to spend the best years of your life!

How do I prepare for non-tech companies coming for placements in NSIT?
Here are some important tips that you can follow to get placed in a good non-tech company during the NSUT Delhi placements-
- Good companies start visiting the campus in the last week of July. So don’t procrastinate on making your resume. Every company seeks qualities in a resume. Like, Finance companies focus on your academics and any related course, while Consulting companies appreciate case studies/MUNs in your resume. Keep an updated resume. In case you are short on material, mention any prizes, competitions, or olympiads. Do mention some social work you did as that will add ‘stars’ to your resume.
- The first round comprises MCQs to test your logical reasoning and quantitative aptitude. Companies like Axtria also test your verbal ability (grammar and critical reasoning specifically), and a bit of coding knowledge. Practice these questions from a CAT preparation book/ modules from a good MBA coaching institute. Choose a book according to your comfort- from basic to advanced. Practice a few sets of verbal and logical reasoning questions daily. You can learn coding basics from ‘Test your C skills’ and ‘Let us C’. Data Analytics companies like Axtria also ask a little about DBMS, SQL, and OOPS concepts. Study them from C++ by Sumita Arora class 12th or online.
- Consulting companies then focus on how you deal with cases and guess estimates. Read/Practice these from ‘Case in Point’, ‘Ace the Case’
and ‘Wharton guide’. For puzzles and brainteasers, read the book ‘Acing the Brainteaser Interview’. Indiabix is a good source for puzzles, quantitative and logical aptitude.
- Practice common HR interview questions.
- Research well about your target company, and listen carefully during the company’s presentation, and ask smart questions during the company’s
presentation or interview.
Try to remain calm and composed. You will get selected by a good company during the NSUT Delhi placements. But if things don’t go as planned, remember that everything gets better eventually.
I am too confused between CSE at DTU/NSIT and IIT Jodhpur. What should I do?
I can never stop emphasizing this, no matter how many options you have always go for the one that gives you the IIT tag.
I am not saying Engineering colleges like NSIT and DTU aren’t good but they are in the developing phase while IIT Jodhpur is in its developing phase. This means it will only get better. Despite being a new IIT, its average package this year was recorded at INR 21.30 LPA, which is a great feat for a new college.
Additionally, IITs receive more funding from the government to provide better research and project opportunities. Specifically speaking about CSE, this year the highest INR 56 LPA was bagged by BTech CSE. The placement percentage stood at 97% while the average package for CSE was recorded at INR 23 LPA.
DTU and NSIT may have higher placement statistics but they lack what IIT Jodhpur offers, the most coveted IIT tag! So choose wisely.
Is there an MBA at NSIT?
Yes, NSIT Delhi (now NSUT) started its MBA program in 2019 and its first batch graduated in 2021. This is good news for all the CAT aspirants.
NSUT is known for its Engineering courses. Though the MBA program is new, you will have access to endless resources. NSIT has a strong alumni network with majority of alumni working in top corporates around the world. Therefore, it will be worth spending two years at NSIT (NSUT). You will get a great learning environment and experienced faculty.
Thus, you can definitely consider NSUT Delhi for a decent MBA experience with the tag of a prestigious university.

How is life of a CS student in NSIT and DTU as compared with life of a CS student in an IIT?
Here are a few points of differences between the life of a CS student in NSUT/Delhi and life of a CS student in an IIT
- Academic Workload: The first-year students in NSUT and DTU have a laid-back and relaxed experience with no academic pressure of completing assignments, preparing for internals, performing practicals, etc. Whereas IITians are busy with a hectic schedule and rigorous academics right from the first year. They have to be serious about their practicals, labs, and assignments.
- Attendance Policy: Although NSUT and DTU have a 75% attendance policy NSUT students don’t follow and the consequences aren’t very serious. IITs on the other hand are very serious about attendance policies. Students need to attend classes, tutorials, and labs each requiring 75% attendance.
- Curriculum: NSUT and DTU have a relatively lighter and easier curriculum than IITs which have a very rigorous and challenging course syllabus.
- Campus life: NSUT and DTU have relatively dull campus life than IITs. Students are not involved in organizing summits, seminars, presentations, events, etc. While in IITs the campus is buzzing with some or other activities every day.
- Hostel life: Unfortunately in India, the quality of hostel life depends on your gender. If you are a girl you will have a full life anywhere whereas if you are a boy you will get full freedom at either place.
- Placements: Placements won’t be an issue if you are a CSE graduate because both NSUT and IITs offer similar opportunities.
Hope the comparison helps you get a better understanding of lives in different colleges.
DTU vs NSIT: Which one should I choose for mechanical engineering?
Both DTU and NSIT are great options for engineering aspirants with good ranks who are unable to make it into IITs. These 2 institutes are at the same level as top NITs, BITS, and IIT Guwahati. Comparing DTU and NSIT, the following points can be considered
- Branch: NSIT is slightly better than DTU in software branches like COE/IT and even ECE whereas DTU excels in core branches like Mechanical, Electrical, and Civil.
- Infrastructure: Infrastructure-wise, DU is the clear winner with its 160-acre beautifully designed campus and top-notch facilities. Although NSIT has TI labs for ECE students, the overall campus facilities speak in favor of DTU.
- College Life: Campus life is better at DTU because of the relaxation of rules and a laid-back environment. NSIT has strict rules and students have to worry about attendance.
- Mechanical Engineering: DTU Mechanical Engineering is an excellent choice because of its age-old legacy. The department excels in all aspects be it infrastructure, labs, faculty, facilities, reputation, and placements. The branch can be easily compared with the ME branches of IITs and BITS in terms of placements and education. A number of societies like ASME, and SAE will harness your passion for the branch.
DTU is an excellent choice if you are genuinely interested in Mechanical Engineering.
