ITM (NCU) Gurgaon (Now The North Cap University, Gurgaon) outperforms MSIT college. Having friends studying in both these colleges, I can assure you that there are many reasons behind choosing ITM.

• They have better placement records in the CS and IT fields in recent years. Students are offered a good salary package.
• Top companies such as Wipro, Accenture, TCS, and Infosys are frequent visitors offering placements, internships and industry visits.
• They have better infrastructure facilities.
• The faculty members are well experienced and highly educated.
• A well-equipped library is provided.
• Labs with high-speed internet and cutting-edge software are also provided.

Most of my friends landed a job at TCS and other companies as well. Therefore, It is suggested that you go for ITM (NCU) in Gurgaon for CS.

Talking about B.Tech CSE, Sharda University can be considered a better choice than Northcap. It is a very well reputed institution in terms of opportunities and respective training sessions in technical sectors for the Global environment. 

Academics: 

• Northcap University, which however is not as well ranked as Sharda University, is also incapable of providing the required amount of exposure as needed for the industrial sectors. 
• On the contrary, Sharda University being a greater institution in itself has various tie-ups with other higher organizations and foreign universities.

Faculty: 

• Sharda University is bestowed with extremely friendly and highly professional professors which rather is the greater plus point for any respective stream. 
• Northcap, as even mentioned by some of its students, comes up with a very poor record of having a group of inexperienced and unsupportive professors. The employability you will attain after pursuing B.Tech from Northcap is uncertain.

Sharda University has recorded well for the past few years to provide a good deployment rate in the B.Tech branch. On the upper hand, various organizations like IBM, TCS, Tech Mahindra, and more have arrived occasionally for campus recruitment every particular year, and students of the university are offered 2 LPA to 5 LPA without hesitation.
