My friend had to choose between DTU CSE and NSIT CSE and eventually went for DTU CSE after considering the below points
The ultimate decision depends on personal factors like distance from home and other inclinations.
Well, I don’t believe that NSUT is not famous. In fact, it’s well-known globally. One of my friends who is an ex-student of NSUT went to Harvard MUN and most of the students there knew about NSUT. This in itself speaks of the college's reputation and brand value.
You will be surprised to know that NSUT is the only college from India to get an invitation to send a delegation to the prestigious Harvard MUN.
The reason it isn’t as famous as DTU is because it has almost half the intake of DTU. So it has fewer alumni spread across the globe that would promote the institute.
So it’s just a misconception that NSUT is not famous!
The NSIT placements statistics are decent but yet not at or with DTU and IIIT Delhi. Although a large number of companies visit the campus for placements, the average and median CTC is quite low. It is still considered the best option for CS/Circuit branches but the batch size has been increasing alarmingly so the quality might be compromised.
NSUT Placements 2022 witnessed around 1044 placements with the median package standing at INR 6.20 LPA for the 3 years UG batch, INR 16 LPA for the 4 years UG batch, and INR 11.75 LPA for the 2 years PG batch. The NSUT engineering placements have been tabulated below

NSUT's top recruiters included Microsoft, Amazon, Texas Instrument, Google, Qualcomm, Cisco, Hero Moto Corp, etc. Overall, it’s a good choice to be considered after the top 7 NITz.
There are many reasons why some students prefer CSE at NSIT to CSE at DTU. I have listed some strong reasons below:
If you consider these reasons valid, go for NSIT instead of DTU.

If I ever had the chance to choose between NSUT and DTU, I would always NSUT Delhi. Here are a few reasons supporting my opinion
Overall, NSUT Delhi will offer a unique college life experience and force you to come out of your comfort zone and explore new things. You will be busy organizing fests and exploring your non-academic passions here. The institute will teach you to manage your time and inculcate problem-solving skills. When you will leave college after 4 years, you will be a new leaf!
First of all, NSUT Delhi does not release its average package officially. The median package is rumored to be around INR 16 LPA. But the question is do these figures actually matter?
Your goal while joining NSUT or in fact any institute should be to explore all available opportunities and build a successful career rather than getting placed. NSUTis a highly prestigious institute that offers an abundance of opportunities and resources importing a great quality education. The campus life, crowd, and opportunities are top-notch. One must have a broader perspective to make the most out of the available resources.
It does have its own cons such as pathetic administration because it’s a government college. However, these situations only make you stronger to deal with this thing called life.
The job and package you secure depend on your skills, hard work, and dedication and not the field you choose. So choose wisely!
Placements for ICE are both good and bad at NSUT-
Apart from talent, your grades will play a huge role during the placement process. Maintain an 8+ CGPA to be able to sit for majority company placements. Also, for candidates of equal caliber, the company uses CGPA as an important deciding factor during the selection process.
Thus, as an ICE student at NSUT , you will get good placement opportunities in various sectors other than your core sector.

My cousin graduated from DTU in CS. According to him, these institutions can be ranked for CS in the following order-
DTU is considered one of the best Indian institutions for CS. Therefore, you should go for DTU if you get the opportunity. Every technical society at DTU, be it IEEE, ASME, CSI, IET, or even the small ones, gives great value to coding competitions. Thus, coding classes and competitions are held on a regular basis.
For those who want to work on real-use-productive coding instead of passive-competitive coding, there are many opportunities at DTU. DTU has several societies, and there are student entrepreneurs who are always in dire need of talented coders.
DTU also has a locational advantage. Being situated in the capital of India, it offers students great opportunities and exposure, not just industrial but of all types. Gurgaon is the IT hub and since you will spend 4 years of student life in Delhi, if you land a job in Gurgaon after graduating, you will have been accustomed to the region by that time.
The seniors at DTU are helpful and there is a strict anti-ragging policy on campus. The faculty consists of learned and helpful professors. The non-tech placements are also quite good at DTU.
DTU has huge brand value, long-standing history, and it is the mother of a lot of great colleges.
NIT Calicut is a good choice as well because it has a good placement record and an impressive infrastructure. In terms of location, however, DTU, NSUT, and IIIT Delhi are at an advantage.
You can consider all the above factors and finally decide which of these institutions is the right choice for you to pursue your CS.
