Well ISM DHANBAD is a great institute .. it’s better than all new IITs .. but yeah can’t be compared to any of those elite institutes in terms of Computer Science ..

All seniors said good placement. Why are you saying that?.are you from iiit Delhi?

Iiit banglore is one of the best. but among these iiits hyderabad , allahabad ,delhi have more exposure in coe ,it and ece and have excellent job offers and research also . Your iiit allahabad such a premier and only the institute in our india. to get a master degree in human computer interaction and in cyberlaw and information security.

And yes , I m not from iiit allahabad.( I study in bhu )

Of course!

first off, your website is very useful and awesome for PG aspirants in india . secondly this ranking for mtech at iiits is also commendable. thanks for that.

i’d like to ask you please give a comparison between IIIT bangalore and delhi , i have read in quora and other sources that when it comes to mtech in cse iiit bangalore is way ahead that iiit delhi (both in academics and placements) . but in iiit bangalore palcement stats i dont get to see google,microsoft and some other top notch companies that visit iiit delhi, visiting bangalore anymore. please show a comparison sir.

thanks in advance.

Check cutoff tools and calculators for all details.

IIIT D is far better than nsit or dtu at least for m.tech and PhD. For pg and PhD Iiitd can compete with top iits. This is one of the few research led institution in India. I think for cse and ec Iiitd can compare with iiith and top 5 iits only. I don’t know why student judge institute by just placement only. If you go to nsit or dtu or nits or few iits too for mtech then after completion of your degree you will find that your skills are almost same that you have gained after btech. Whereas after passing two years in an environment like Iiitd you will come out with lots of skills with international exposure. I know many Iiitd mtech students who did not get placed via campus placement especially ec but they get placed by there own effort in core industries with good package (above 9 lacs avg) and many of them intended toward to do PhD from Iiitd or foreign university.

@Rishab bannerjee I must say you have quite a good research. But let me tell you something. I do agree to you that current placement stats for NSIT and DTU is better than that of IIITD. But according to me, an institute should be judged just on the bases of its placements. What matters the most is your experience with your subjects – how deep is your insight into the subject. The role of college in the placement is just to make sure that a company visits the college for placement. Else everything is just on the capability of the student. So, at the end what belongs to you, is purely your knowledge and insight in your specialization/subject. Even after placement, its just your job experience that matters. No one is gonna ask you from which college/institute you are.
Now for the studies, you gave a list of the subjects being taught in NSIT COE/IT. My friends have told me the course structure for COE and IT is over 90% same. I actually want you to have a look at the subjects being taught at IIITD:
1 sem: *Intro to programming, *Digital Circuits, *System management, Comm skills, *Linear Algebra.
2 sem: *Data structures and algorithms, *Computer Organization, *Prob and stats, (a humanity course of your choice) and *Intro to Engineering Design.
3 sem: *Operating System, *Advance Programming, *Descrete Maths, a humanity course of choice and EVS.
4 sem: *Computer Networking, *Algorithm Design and analysis, *Database systems, Tech Comm and *an optional course(a list of 4-5 core courses including Theory Of Computation, Number theory, Graph theory etc.)

Till 4th semster, all the mandatory courses above are basic courses which are asked during placements and required for further higher level courses.

From 5th semester you have a list of over 45 courses each with few pre-reqiustes you can choose from according to your interests. These courses are mostly specialization courses you can take. These courses are availabe to both BTech and MTech students.

By now, you must have already observed the rich diversity and application based approach towards studies. Most of the courses have continuous evolution with projects and regular assignments and not just mid-sem and end-sem exams forcing student to regularly learn with the pace of the course.
Most of the core courses which are taught in 3rd or even 4th year in other colleges(including IITs) are done by the 3rd or 4th semester at IIITD. Students there are not just given theoretical knowledge but applications are done throughout the semester. Many undergraduate students work with the professors in their research and development.
If you enter into IIITD now, It is highly likely the placement till the time you graduate will be par with the placements of DTU and NSIT.
So, as a whole, I feel that everything in the post is not a boasting about IIITD. But I must say the IIITH is a better choice than IIITD (be it in placement or competitive surrounding).
Finally, for IT oriented course according to me, the order should be: IIITH > IIITD > DTU > NSIT.

at last – sorry for any typo 😛

Thanks Abhishek for sharing useful info.

Really appreciate your efforts on this. Great input. But after being through all levels of institutes and working in industry for last 8 yrs meeting students from all across the nation and world I feel and recommend you to choose a place with great faculty. Placement and funding will come in no time with great faculty. Either knock to IITs or choose to go to a place with great faculty. my choice for now will remain IIITH > IIITD >>> NSIT > DTU. If IIITD retain its faculty and recruit more polished brains can even perform better than IIITH in no time.

FACULTY:
I dont know about IIIT-H, DTU but I can tell you this NSIT’s faculty SUCKS. Even 4th years students are not taught by full time faculty members. They dont have a clue of what is going on in the industry or what is relevant for placements. The only thing of which they worry is “DA kitna badha”. In my 4 years I have found only 2 faculty members Khushil Saini and Shampa Chakravarty to be really good. Many might not believe this, but in my 3rd year I had a fellow batch mate writing all about MODI in a Computer Organisation Paper and the teacher didnt even notice it. Many of the exam papers will not be checked and marks will be awarded randomly. I remember in my 1st semester my maths teacher replacing the i of (a+ib) by a real value and arguing that “arrey i ek variable hi to hai to replace kardo” and in my 4th sem a teacher saying that “binary search ka upper bound O(lg n) nai hota”. I have heard a great deal about the faculty of IIIT-D from my friends. I cant confirm, but one of my friend says that a faculty of theirs had been recruited by Facebook. Many of the profs have done MS from US universities, some of them are foreigners. You will find plenty of professors interested in doing project work, this is completely alien to us NSITians and projects believe me matter a lot if you want to apply for foreign universities.
Also the most important thing that hasent been said is the SYLLABUS. Please note that at NSIT there is no CSE, it is COE and COE and CSE are NOT the same.
COE is same as Electrical and Computer Engineering offered in USA. In COE the focus is on hardware ie. ELECTRONICS. To make things more concrete let me tell you the syllabus of COE at NSIT. I have marked the software related subjects with *:
SEM1: Physics,Chem,Maths1 ,Manufacturing,English,ED
SEM2: Electrical,Mechanics,Material Physics,*C programming,Maths 2
SEM3: Electronics 1,Signal and Systems,Machines(not computers but servomotors,AC machines,DC machines,Rotor,Stator etc pure electrical),Maths3,Electrical Measurements,Machine Drawing
SEM4: *Data Structures,Electronics 2,Communication Engineering,Electromagnetism,Digital Electronics
SEM5: *Computer Graphics, Computer Organisation(not software), *Discrete Maths, Linear Integrated Circuit,Industrial Management
SEM6: *Operating System, *Database Management, Control Engineering,Microprocessor, Advanced Architecture(Electronics)
I dont know about subjects of 7th and 8th sem. In IIIT-H, IIIT-D you will find many interesting subjects related to software. Also there are no electives in NSIT(officially there are but they arent taught).
One good thing about NSIT/DTU is attendance and atmosphere: no tension of attendance and atmosphere is super chill. I know people who have attended 5-10 classes in the entire semester, yet were able to sit for their exams. MAny of the faculty members dont come to class, many teach for not 20-30 min in a 1 hr class.
I wanted to write much more but then it will become a blog in itself. My choice would be IIIT-H>>>NSIT(dont select COE take IT)>DTU>>>IIIT-D
PS: My rank in AIEEE was 1390( 276 marks), I had admissions from IIIT-H NSIT, DTU. I am writing this just to tell the readers that I am not against any college just because I didnt get admission to any particular college. Although I regret not taking admission to IIIT-H.
