Studies at IIT Delhi

IIT Delhi and BITS Pilani are two highly reputed institutions for engineering studies in India. I am a second year B.Tech Electrical student at IIT Delhi. During my time, I was faced with a similar dilemma. But I ended up choosing IIT Delhi over BITS Pilani for my studies.

I would recommend you choose Electrical Engineering at IIT Delhi over CSE at BITS Pilani because of these reasons:

Brand Value: IIT Delhi carries the prestigious “IIT'' tag which holds more brand value than the “BITS Pilani'' tag. This will become important to you when applying to foreign universities for your higher education.
Fees: As a government institution, the fees of IIT Delhi is much more affordable as compared to BITS Pilani. This in turn, gives IIT Delhi a higher position in ROI (Return on Investment) because it offers even better placements.

Here are the important comparisons between Electrical Engineering at IIT Delhi and CSE at BITS Pilani:

Parameters	IIT Delhi Electrical	BITS Pilani CSE
Course Fee	INR 99,650 (for sem-1)*	INR 3.32 lakh (for sem-1)
Highest Package (Overall for 2023)	INR 2.5 CPA	INR 60. 75 LPA
Average Package (Overall for 2023)	INR 17.60 LPA	INR 30.37 LPA
CTC Range (for 2023)	-	(IT branches) INR 11 - 38 LPA
Campus Recruiters	Microsoft, CISCO, Accenture, Brain & company, Jaguar Land Rover India Limited	EY, HSBC, KPMC, HCL, IBM, TCS

*This is the fee-structure for General/OBC students with family income>5 LPA. Thus, I would suggest you choose Electrical Engineering at IIT Delhi over CSE at BITS Pilani.
