NSUT (NSIT): Admission 2024, Fees, Cutoff, Placements, Courses

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!

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

• Placements : NSUT has some of the best placements in the country but the institute does not release the official data. From what I have heard, people get placed in top companies like Microsoft, Google, Adobe, Goldman Sachs, Royal Bank of Scotland, Samsung, Flipkart, Amazon, McKinsey & JPMC every year.
• DU degree: The tag of DU cannot be underestimated at all. It certainly gives you a certain edge over other colleges and makes higher studies abroad a lot easier. 
• Crowd : NSIT (NSUT) has a very talented and diverse group of peers and you won’t find such a crowd in other engineering colleges. You will see a great bond between the juniors and seniors. The girl-to-boy ratio is much better compared to other engineering colleges too.
• Location : NSIT is located in Dwarka so you have easy access to places via Metro/Car. The closest station is Dwarka Mor. 

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! 

It's quite subjective to claim NSUT is the worst engineering college as it has churned out a few successful engineers too. The only people who find it below average and worst are those who couldn't make it to the prestigious institution despite being rich because it does accept any kind of bribes. I have many friends in the institute that say the college gave them wings to fly and discover their passions. So the people nitpicking on the colleges worth are the ones that did not utilize the available resources or took part in any kind of activity. 

Rather than criticizing an institute, I suggest it's better to take action and start working on yourself because you cannot change the institute but can change yourself drastically for the better. 

So, NSUT is definitely not the worst engineering college in Delhi as it has given wings to many engineering students who are pursuing successful careers today. best engineering college in India and almost a religion for many like me.

One of my friends at NSUT Delhi shared a few unknown facts about the institute. He claims that the majority of the crowd is focused on getting placed and securing good marks rather than developing a genuine interest and passion in the curse. This makes the academic environment dull and unchallenging. Here are some other major drawbacks he faced during his time at NSUT Delhi

• The institute has a disinterested faculty pool that ruins the lives of many by illogical grading systems. They have no interest in teaching and students have to motivate themselves to study.
• NSUT Delhi does not only have an outdated curriculum but also has a number of irrelevant courses. This makes the students lose interest in the branch.
• It may have the DU tag but rarely do recruiters know about this. Its brand value is not at par with other DU-affiliated colleges.
• The placement scenario is pathetic and the institute releases not have much official data on the same. The exceptional cases of students getting placed in big companies like Google have nothing to do with the institute but the student's hard work. 
• Being a government college the administrative department is pathetic and laid back.
• The Institute does not enjoy much reputation outside Delhi and is even unknown to many.
• The campus is small around 140-150 acres and the infrastructure is in a pathetic state.
• The institute has a policy of 85% reservation for Delhites which limits the crowd diversity and your college experience as a whole.
• The college has a non-existent alumni network.

So, unless you have no other options it is better to not consider joining NSUT Delhi. You might end up ruining your career.

One of my friends faced a lot of issues in the initial years at NSUT. His aggregate for the first 2 years was 50%. He then decided to work hard and made a new strategy. By the end of 4 years, his aggregate increased to 80%. Currently, he is pursuing MS in computer science at the University of Maryland, College Park, USA. Initially, he was distracted by the freedom of college life and the dilemma of choosing MS vs MBA. 

Firstly, you need to focus on your studies and target a high score. Stop paying heed to people who say college life is all about fun. College is about realizing a dream and setting plans to achieve them. So, give up on distractions and start working hard to get good grades. He realized that scoring 80+ in college is possible for everyone but because of the ongoing activities and distractions, it becomes almost impossible.

In simple words, all you need is to find the passion within you that will drive you to perform at your level best. Find a good company that motivates you instead of mocking you. 

No , honestly, after going through so much hard work and finally getting admission into NSUT, my brother realized that it wasn’t a big deal at all. 

• Except for the IT and Mechanical departments, the classrooms are ordinary with no modern facilities.
• Hostels have no wifi connection The funds are misused. Instead of organizing fests and funding societies every year a path of greenery is added.
• The teachers focus more on the attendance of students rather than delivering concepts excellently. 
• The college is surviving solely because of its affiliation with DU.
• The research culture is inactive and only a few teachers and researchers are genuinely focused.
• Apart from COE and IT, all other branches have heavy workloads with poor placements and internships. 
• The institute does not offer any modern courses like machine learning, artificial intelligence, image processing, computer vision, data science etc 

In all, you will be very disappointed when you end up in an institute like NSUT after going through sleepless nights to clear JEE. So don’t believe the rumors and fall for the fake brand image NSUT has built to attract students.
